Divorced While Pregnant The Ex-Husband’s Collapse 68
Chapter 68
Everything looked normal, except that the room was a little messy.
Jeffrey’s clothes from earlier in the day were scattered across the floor. Meanwhile, Natalie was lying in bed without any clothes…
Well, it was clear what they had been doing.
Martha’s lips curved into a knowing smile.
Natalie shrank deeper under the blanket. She only lifted it after Martha finally left. She was burning up at that moment.
She got out of bed, spotted the milk on the bedside table, and picked it up to drink without a second thought. Since Martha had gone to the trouble of bringing it, it would be a waste not to drink it. She was thirsty anyway.
Just as she raised the cup, Jeffrey stopped her by grabbing her wrist. He said with a frown, ” What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?” she shot back. “Why are you not letting me drink it?”
“Is this even drinkable? Are you that brainless?”
She was puzzled. “Why not?”
Would Martha drug her or something? Wait, drug her?
Natalie inhaled sharply. Her hand trembled, and a drop of milk spilled onto the back of her hand. Jeffrey took the cup away from her. “My grandma has used this trick before. How could you still fall for it?”
He paused and gave a mocking laugh. “I almost forgot. For you, this wouldn’t count as falling into a trap. It’s more like a benefit.”
That was how they had consummated their marriage and how Natalie had gotten pregnant with his child. Although they later lost the baby due to a miscarriage, she had gotten pregnant on the first try.
Jeffrey asked, “Natalie, are you and my grandma trying to play the same trick again? Hmm?”
Natalle merely rolled her eyes. She couldn’t be bothered to argue or explain. Turning away, she went to grab her blanket and pillow from the walk–in closet.
However, Jeffrey stopped her in her tracks. “Or were you planning to drink the milk and beg me for the antidote once the drug kicked in?

Hearing that, Natalie almost wanted to splash the milk in his face. She replied, “Don’t flatter yourself. Let me make this very clear, Jeffrey. I had no idea when your grandma drugged us back then. I never intended to give my virginity away in that manner.
“Secondly, the thought never crossed my mind at all. I was just thirsty and wanted a drink. Since you’ve reminded me, I won’t drink it. I’ll pour it down the toilet tomorrow morning and be done with it.”
She raised her voice. “Lastly, even if I were drugged, I’d rather hire a male escort than beg for your help! It’s not like you’re the only man left in the world.”
Jeffrey’s expression darkened. He couldn’t tell whether Natalie truly no longer loved him or if she was simply pretending. He was more inclined to believe it was an act. It was impossible for someone to move on that quickly.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard faint sounds coming from outside the door. Someone was outside. Natalie heard it too. She gulped and mouthed silently, “Who is it?”
“Martha.”
Who else could it be?
The second floor was their private area. Aside from the cleaning staff who worked on a schedule, no one was allowed to come up without permission. Martha actually hadn’t left. She was lingering at the door, trying to overhear them.
Natalie looked at Jeffrey, and he met her gaze.
After two seconds of silent exchange, Jeffrey reached out and held her chin lightly. “Do you know how to moan?”
“What do you mean?”
“Moan from pleasure.”
Natalie’s cheeks heated up when she understood what he meant. She cleared her throat. “Well, I can learn. I’ll try to make it sound convincing.”
Jeffrey nodded and said, “Go on, then.”
Start?
Now?
She hesitated for a few seconds. Then, she climbed onto the bed and moved toward the headboard. She gripped it with both hands. Meanwhile, Jeffrey stood beside the bed. He put one foot against the edge and pushed violently to make the bed shake.
The creaking of the mattress, the dull knocking of the headboard against the wall, and

Natalie’s moans all blended together into a cacophony of noise.
The moment Natalie opened her mouth to moan, her face turned bright red instantly. This was too embarrassing!
