Chapter 51\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey felt that before he completely dissolved his marriage with Natalie, he could not take that final step with Abigail. He needed to be responsible for Abigail and protect her reputation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The deeper the love, the more one should cherish it. Claiming it hastily was not the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though Abigail said she didn\u2019t mind, Jeffrey did. He didn\u2019t want her to be branded as a mistress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail walked into the main bedroom and came to his side. Then, she glanced out the window. \u201cWhat? Natalie came so early.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey scoffed. \u201cShe wants to get someone out, so shouldn\u2019t she show some sincerity?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked tentatively, \u201cJeff, will you let Stephen go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lowered his gaze to her. \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She replied, \u201cFelix seemed very firm in not accepting any apology or mediation. He went to the hospital for a checkup, and they found that he\u2019s experiencing a mild concussion. No one\u00a0<\/p>\n
other aftereffects.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
knows whether there\u2019ll b\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey pursed his lips together, saying nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail continued, \u201cI can\u2019t make decisions for Felix. If he refuses to forgive Stephen, then the only option is to file a lawsuit and go through the legal procedures.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
She vaguely sensed that Jeffrey\u2019s stance had softened. But why? Because of Natalie\u2019s kneeling? Or was it because Natalie had tried to smash her own head?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But how could he possibly go easy on Natalie? Natalie was the one who tore Jeffrey and Abigail apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie was kneeling quietly. She didn\u2019t know how long she had been here, but her legs were completely numb and devoid of sensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sun slowly rose, enveloping her in its light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she stared at the ground, a pair of men\u2019s dress shoes suddenly appeared before her eyes. She jerked her head up. \u201cJeffrey,\u00a0<\/p>\n
me\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish, Jeffrey reached\u00a0<\/p>\n
v numb out and grabbed her shoulder, yanking her\u00a0<\/p>\n
up\u00a0<\/p>\n
from\u00a0<\/p>\n
the ground. Her legs were fully numb, so she had no strength at all. Unable to stand steady,\u00a0<\/p>\n
she fell right into his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her nose slammed hard into his chest, drawing a sharp hiss of pain from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes and demanded, \u201cNatalie, was this part of your plan too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was stunned. \u201cWhat plan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He replied, \u201cYour plan to reel me back in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gaped in disbelief. \u201cReel you in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring this period when our divorce is still being processed, you\u2019ve been causing trouble every single day!\u201d Jeffrey exclaimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie felt exasperated. \u201cSo, Stephen hitting someone is my fault too? Did I instigate it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He replied, \u201cHe\u2019s your brother. Isn\u2019t it normal for you two to work together?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She frowned. \u201cSo, for your sake, I should just watch my brother go to prison?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re here to save him, aren\u2019t you?\u201d Jeffrey retorted\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie sighed. \u201cWhether or not he can be saved is still uncertain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had already humbled herself enough, obeying and cooperating with Jeffrey. What more did he want?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He snorted and released her. \u201cKeep kneeling.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d Natalie didn\u2019t ask how long. She obeyed him unconditionally. After all, she had no bargaining chips at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Abigail came over with a cup of coffee. \u201cJeff, here\u2019s your coffee. I ground the beans just now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey took it. \u201cYou\u2019re always so thoughtful, Ab.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abigail smiled. \u201cI remember all your preferences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cIt\u2019s already late morning. The sun\u2019s strong, so you should go back inside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She replied, \u201cI want to stay with you. And I also want to know what kind of answer you\u2019re going to give Natalie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Jeffrey insisted on pursuing this to the end, then Natalie could kneel herself to death and still have no chance of turning things around. On the other hand, if Jeffrey chose to protect Stephen, then the Wright family wouldn\u2019t dare say a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie lowered her eyes, looking at Jeffrey\u2019s and Abigail\u2019s pant legs, then at her own knees. Her head started to spin, and her vision blurred. She started to feel the symptoms of a low blood sugar level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 51\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t eaten breakfast. Managing to kneel for this long was already quite the feat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her dizziness grew more severe, and Natalie\u2019s body tipped uncontrollably to the side. But instead of the ground, she fell into someone\u2019s arms. \u201cNatalie, are you alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
