Chapter 137 Isabella Is Really Blind

Natalle maintained her professional image as a career woman. She started caring less about who she

dined with, influenced in part by Stephen,

As a result, no one dared to write about her recklessly.

In the car, Irwin was driving, and Natalie sat in the passenger seat.

Irwin casually asked, “Did your uncle go back?”

“Yeah, he was supposed to leave earlier, but he stayed here for a few more days because of me.”

Also, because of the Johnson family!

Rebecca and Benjamin had been aggressively trying to drive her out of Verde City before this, and the

situation had been hysterical!

With how they acted, Natalie could anticipate the relentless pursuit she would face if she truly left Verde

City.

“Well, you do make people worry, Irwin remarked.

Natalie felt a bit embarrassed. “Not really.

“You look the part.”

Natalie was speechless.

Okay!

She acknowledged that her petite stature did give off an impression of someone who might need extra

Care.

She was too short, making it seem like anyone could bully her. Back in the Johnson family, people used

to think they could pick on her as if she were still a child!

Fair enough,” she admitted

“Wasn’t Caleb supposed to join us?” Natalie asked.

Irwin checked the time on his watch. “When I went to pick you up, Caleb said he had a lunch

and couldn’t make it.”

“Oh, I see.”

Now, Natalie truly felt uneasy.

Having meals alone with Irwin before was partly to annoy Cedric, and partly because she and Irwin had

no

real connection.

It felt natural then. But things were different now.

“Mr. Jarvis told you, right?” Irwin asked, observing Natalie’s awkward demeanor.

Natalie nodded. “Yes.”

“Then, what’s your take on it?” Irwin inquired.

Natalie was silent.

What was this man’s intention now? Was he expressing his feelings? Or was he forcing a resolution?

Neither seemed likely at this moment.

Natalie felt a bit awkward, but she was clever. Instead of directly answering Irwin’s question, she

countered, “What about you? What do you think?”

Hah, take that!

Irwin raised an eyebrow at her counter. Then, he took a sip of his red wine and commented, “What a

clever little fox!”

“How do you expect me to respond to a question like that?”

At this crucial moment, couldn’t he provide an answer?

Besides, she wasn’t just anyone who would give a decisive result.

vanished, replaced by seriousness.

A woman must have a certain level of resilience to have a husband like this, something like being able

to

endure emotional coldness.

After a long pause, just when Natalie thought Irwin wouldn’t respond, he laughed.

His laughter seemed somewhat baffling.

“What’s so funny?” Natalie didn’t understand.

Was what she said amusing?

“You’re very clever!”

Natalie was speechless.

So, she was funny because she was clever?

There was absolutely no logic in this, and Natalie found it a bit challenging to accept his words.

With an elegant bite into a piece of beef, Irwin said, “I know that you’ve recently parted ways with the

Johnson family. You’re terrified of relationships now.”

Natalie stayed silent.

Though she was reluctant to admit the existence of any emotions between her and Cedric, she had to

acknowledge that their ten years together couldn’t be erased so easily. Pulling out completely was not

as simple as it seemed.

“You’re right, I am terrified!”

She was terrified of relationships. It was more than just fear. She downright dared not touch it.

Yes, in terms of relationships, Natalie was absolutely afraid to approach them at all.

Just recalling the taste of those experiences was enough to make one feel like they were suffocating in

pain.

rwin’s eyes flashed as he glimpsed fear and sorrow in Natalie’s eyes.

Before he could say anything, Natalie asked, “Have you ever experienced the taste of being burned in

Natalie felt she had lost her composure. She raised the red wine glass before her and took a sip.

A previous life, huh?

The thought of such a thing would have seemed surreal in the real world, something she deemed

impossible.

However, she had indeed experienced it.

It wasn’t a dream; in it, every event was distinct.

In this life, her life trajectory changed with the arrival of Stephen, Irwin, and Caleb. Natalie didn’t know

what the final outcome would be.

“Natalie,” Irwin’s tone became more serious.

Natalie brushed it off, but she underestimated Irwin’s scrutiny.

“What have you experienced?” he probed.

Natalie looked at Irwin, meeting his deep and serious gaze. Although he seemed to be trying to comfort

her, his demeanor was cold.

She lowered her head and forced a smile. “What have I experienced? I’ve forgotten!”

“Forgotten?”

“Yeah”

The man across from her frowned. It was evident that Natalie’s claim of forgetting was far from simple;

her face was etched with memories that couldn’t be shaken off.

Hatalie took a deep breath and said, “Let’s eat.”

She didn’t want to continue the conversation. Of course, no one would believe her in her current state

night?”

“Yeah. At that time, I didn’t know I had an uncle,” she replied.

She only discovered she had an uncle when she went abroad.

“What about it?”

As they steered away from the previous topic, Natalie’s mood seemed to improve as she looked at

Irwin.

Irwin gave her an approving glance. “Not bad, you have admirable courage!”

The Johnson family was an existence that seemed both desirable and unattainable. Many Cinderellas

aspired to become part of it. Those who didn’t know often thought that being a wealthy family’s

daughter-

in–law was an enviable position.

But Natalie, after experiencing the unpleasant side of it, decisively filed for divorce. Her actions caught

everyone off guard.

It was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Johnson family.

“So what? If you can’t stay on, just split!” Natalie’s words carried a hint of bitterness.

She didn’t say it explicitly, but back then, she wasn’t afraid of anything, even death. So why would she

fear retaliation from the Johnson family?
