A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 302 Heartache

In the evening, Cedric personally came to pick up Natalie.

When Natalie saw him, her expression wasn’t great. But thinking of Bianca, she reluctantly got

into the car.

This time, Cedric didn’t head toward Hillside Villa but directly to Peach Garden.

Upon reaching the entrance, Natalie noticed something different–the lights had all been replaced.

Natalie had to admit that this man was efficient.

It had taken half a month to replace all the lights in Hillside Villa after she returned, but he had

managed to change the lights in Peach Garden in just one day.

“How does the lighting feel now?” Cedric asked cautiously as he helped her out of the car.

Natalie looked at their joined hands, her eyes dimming. This morning, he questioned her about

Isabella.

Now, he was acting so intimately with her?!

She discreetly pulled her hand away from his.

Feeling the sudden emptiness in his palm, Cedric also felt a void in his chest.

He started to talk, “Nat, actually, things between us-”

“It’s not bad,” Natalie said, interrupting him as always did.

That was how it always went.

Whenever Cedric brought up their relationship or Isabella, Natalie interrupted him. Obviously, whether it

was between them or among the three of them, Natalie had nothing to say and nothing she wanted to

hear.

She didn’t even offer an explanation for what happened last night.

Cedric fell silent.

“I underestimated you,” Natalie said.

The lighting here suited her vision very well.

Do you feel any discomfort?” Cedric asked as if he hadn’t heard the sarcasin in her tone.

Obviously, after learning about Natalie’s vision from Stephen, Cedric felt regretful of his previous

actions. He quickly made preparations to replace any light that might irritate her

“No!” Her response was icy.

It was as if Cedric had put in great effort to do something, only to receive no acknowledgment.

in return.

His expression darkened.

“Nat, don’t forget, you should treat me the same way you treat him!”

He was referring to Irwin.

Natalie stiffened. Clearly, she didn’t expect Cedric to make such a demand even at this point.

She looked at Cedric mockingly. “I truly underestimated how shameless you could be.”

Cedric responded, “If there are no objections, shall we begin now?”

Begin what?

Begin treating Cedric the same way she treated Irwin?

He dared to make such a request.

But soon, Cedric struck a nerve.

At the dinner table, the dishes were all the ones Natalie loved from her previous life at Scarlet

Villa.

Seeing these dishes, Natalie stiffened, and a shadow passed through her eyes. Instinctively, she

glanced at Cedric

“What are you looking at?” Cedric smiled, full of indulgence.

And this smile…!

It was different from the one after she woke up in this reborn life. It was indulgent and gentle!

Even the dishes on the table had changed. She remembered that Cedric from her current life. didn’t

know what she liked to eat anymore!

This was the first time…!

This was the first time someone had made her favorite dishes from her past life.

Cedric’s voice brought Natalie back to reality, and she shrugged, “It’s nothing”

“You wanted to be treated the same way as Irwin right?”

Natalie’s smile was gentle, but it caused a flicker of unease in Cedric’s heart,

Natalie picked up a dish he liked and brought it to his lips.

“Go on and take a bite.”

“Is this how you feed Irwin?”

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

Was there a problem?

Wasn’t this a problem?!

Cedric’s face instantly turned darker. His gaze remained on Natalie’s face as if he wanted to see

through her… but he failed.

He saw nothing.

“What? Don’t you like this approach?” Natalie’s expression turned cold.

Evidently, if he didn’t want her to interact with Irwin in a certain way, she would switch to how they

should interact as a couple.

Clenching his fists, Cedric took a fierce bite.

Natalie smiled. “Good.”

Then, she offered him another bite of food,

The entire process felt so natural, as if this was the usual way she interacted with Irwin.

She was gentle yet ambiguous.

However, Cedric didn’t feel at ease at all.

Throughout dinner, it was almost entirely Natalie feeding him…

Even though it was his request, he felt uncomfortable at the end.

Did she really treat Irwin this way…?!

After dinner, Cedric sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

This was the first time…!

He finally couldn’t hold back anymore. He had been resisting smoking in front of Natalie, but he

couldn’t suppress the pent–up frustration festering in him now.

Natalie came up behind him and rested her soft hands gently on his shoulders, giving him a light

massage that banished fatigue.

Cedric, however, tensed up. He grabbed her small hands and said, “Do you do this for Irwin. too?”

“Yes,” Natalie replied gently.

Yes? Irwin…!

Cedric had demanded Natalie to treat him the same way she treated Irwin. So now, everything she did

to him was naturally the same as what she did to Irwin.

Right after she finished speaking..

Cedric’s eyes turned bloodshot, and danger emanated from his gaze.

“Nat..” His voice was stiff and hoarse.

Cedric couldn’t conceal the danger in his voice any longer.

“What’s wrong?” Natalie remained unfazed.

It was rare for him to show such emotions.

Cedric turned his head. Seeing the redness in his eyes, Natalie’s smile deepened.

“Was it too soft?”

“Sorry, Irv thinks that this pressure is just nice!”

Irv?!

So, Irwin was firmly in between them now?!

With a forceful move, Cedric lifted Natalie from behind the sofa and into his lap.

His slender fingers gently grazed her delicate chin, the crimson in his eyes intensifying.

Even the breath that spilled onto her face was chilling when he spoke.

“I’m so tempted to tear Irwin into pieces now, you know?”

“This is what you asked for!” Natalie shot back.

Her tone had also turned cold.

He asked for it?

Cedric laughed…!

What a demand he had made.

What he wanted was how she treated Irwin, not to witness firsthand how she interacted with

+25 BONUS

“You’re a heartless woman!” Cedric practically hissed through clenched teeth.

Indeed, Natalie was a heartless woman.

He forcefully pressed his lips against hers. The kiss was fierce, as if he wanted to devour her whole!

But at the moment he kissed her, Natalie endured… the disgust!

Yes, disgust!

Yet, she didn’t push Cedric away.

Instead, she skillfully responded, causing the man who had intended to retaliate fiercely through this

means to halt instantly.

He gently pushed her away, meeting her eyes that seemed unfulfilled.

Fury burned in his eyes as he asked, “Is this also how you interact with Irwin?”

“Of course. Are you satisfied with my technique…?”
