Chapter 19
Rowan’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen, stood up, and walked aside to take the call.
A few minutes later, he returned to the table and said, “Something urgent came up at the company. I have to go.”
Natalie didn’t even look up and continued helping Sarah with her meal.
She realized she had been completely wrong. A man who cheated would never feel guilty.
“Daddy, are you going to see Ms. Chapman?” Roger jumped down from his chair. “I want to go too.”
Even Roger could see through him, yet Rowan really thought Natalie was a fool.
“I’m working late,” Rowan said impatiently. “Eat your dinner, then go upstairs to shower and sleep. You still have school tomorrow.”
He rushed out the door without another word.
Roger returned to the dining table and sat down, glaring at Natalie with displeasure as he said, “Grandma said Daddy is divorcing you soon. I’m part of the Payne family; I will never go with you.”
Natalie replied coldly. “Don’t worry. Even if you were given to me, I wouldn’t want an ungrateful child like you.”
She had long grown used to Roger’s disrespectful attitude toward her. At first, it had hurt deeply, but over time, her heart had grown numb.
Roger defended Imogen so fiercely that Natalie decided she didn’t want such an ungrateful son.
Roger continued angrily, “But Grandma also said your divorce agreement asks for custody of Sarah and me. You even want 50 million dollars. You sit at home all day doing nothing, and all the money comes from Daddy. What right do you have to demand that much?”
Natalie opened her mouth to respond, but Sarah’s voice cut in sharply.
“Grandma said, Grandma said, Roger! Are you brainless?” Sarah shouted, glaring at him. “Mommy worked so hard giving birth to you and raising you. How can you speak to her like that?”
“Sarah, I’m your older brother! Daddy isn’t home, so I’m in charge. How dare you talk to me that way? You’re asking for trouble-ah!”
Natalie couldn’t hold back any longer. Instinctively, her hand shot out and struck Roger across the face.
“Natalie! You hit me? I’m telling Daddy and Grandma!” Roger cried, clutching his burning cheek as he ran upstairs.
The slap landed on him, but it cut deeper in her heart.
Sarah and Roger were already six years old. This was the first time Natalie had ever struck him. She didn’t regret it. If she didn’t discipline him now, he would only grow more unruly.
Roger was beyond saving. Once she divorced Rowan, they would probably meet only a handful of times in the future.
While Natalie took Sarah upstairs to bathe, her phone buzzed with a message.
Imogen’s text read, “All it takes is one call from me, and Rowan will come straight to my side.”
Below the message was a photo of Rowan showering in a bedroom. Through the semi-transparent bathroom door, the outline of his body was unmistakable.
Natalie typed back, “If you’re capable, don’t let him come home tonight. Bring me a ‘gift’ when he comes back tomorrow.”
When Imogen saw the message, she laughed softly while sitting on the bed.
Natalie was truly pathetic. She knew her husband was about to end up in her bed, yet she could still send such a message.
Just then, Rowan stepped out of the bathroom and froze. He saw Imogen wearing a short, red, lacy nightdress, striking a

She had cat-ear clips in her hair and held a small leather whip between her lips. Her long legs were wrapped in black fishnet stockings, making her look provocatively alluring.
“You… why are you dressed like this?” Rowan asked.
