Chapter 86\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did it hurt?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it was nothing compared to the gaping wound in Natalie\u2019s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey had been stabbing at Natalie\u2019s heart for five years. So, this pain was nothing compared to that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s eyes were filled with fury. \u201cAre you using my grandma\u2019s support for you as an excuse to act without restraint? Natalie, I\u2019ve truly indulged you too much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie snorted. He indulged her? That was the funniest thing she had ever heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey spoke again, his voice cold. \u201cTomorrow morning, go apologize to Ab. You can only leave the hospital when she forgives you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way.\u201d Without hesitation, Natalie refused flatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey slammed his hand on the table. \u201cAre you going or not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going!\u201d She bent down to pick up the file from the floor. Then, she threw it back at Jeffrey without so much as a blink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did he think he could throw things and she couldn\u2019t throw them back? She could do it too!\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had hurled the file with all her strength, but Jeffrey swiftly moved aside. The file flew past him and straight into the bookshelf behind him. The glass of the bookshelf cracked, splintering into a web of fractures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s eyes blazed with fury. \u201cNatalie!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m right here, so there\u2019s no need to yell my name so loudly. Jeffrey, men who hit women are the most useless and lowly men on earth. How did I waste 17 years of my life loving an asshole like you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a fool she had been.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey stormed around the desk, his steps quick and threatening. But before he could reach her, there was a knock on the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Foster, Mrs. Foster, are you having an argument in there?\u201d Martha\u2019s voice came through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The commotion was loud enough for Martha to have heard everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie bit her lip, then immediately turned toward the door to open it. She couldn\u2019t take it anymore. It was time to confront everything and to tell everyone the truth. Why should she\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 86\u00a0<\/p>\n
put up with this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were divorcing. Yet, she still had to sleep on the same bed and live under the same roof as her ex\u2013husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was about to touch the doorknob when a force suddenly yanked her back by the collar of her shirt. She looked up into Jeffrey\u2019s angry, red eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d His breathing was heavy, and his voice was low.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie shot back, \u201cWhat do you think I\u2019m going to say to Martha right now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you threatening me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can put it that way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey gritted his teeth. \u201cNatalie, I really underestimated you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, better late than never,\u201d she replied, turning to open the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you dare? Natalie, do you not want a divorce?\u201d Jeffrey let go of her collar and grabbed her by the throat instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie\u2019s voice was filled with frustration. \u201cI do! I\u2019ve been dreaming of it every night!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf my grandma finds out, not only will she fall ill, but she also won\u2019t allow us to divorce. The divorce isn\u2019t finalized yet. Do you want to throw it all away?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an instant, Natalie felt like all the air had been sucked out of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had been keeping the divorce a secret, and it was only an agreement between the two of them. Once it was finalized, they could go public about it. But if it were to be exposed before it was finalized and both families found out, it would be impossible to go through with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Foster, Mrs. Foster? Are you two okay?\u201d Martha\u2019s worried voice sounded again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey coldly shouted toward the door, \u201cWe don\u2019t need you to intervene!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I heard a lot of noise, Mr. Foster,\u201d Martha responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey shot a glance at Natalie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taking a deep breath, Natalie calmed herself and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s nothing, Martha. We were just fooling around.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
