The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Natalie's anger which was previously dying down was reignited by his last sentence.

“Humph! See who's talking about feelings? Yes, | came to have dinner with Kent in a fit of pique.l was wrong for not informing him.But what makes him any different? After all, he hid his past with Charis from me.Why is it a big deal that I'm dining with my client? How dare he criticize me? Oh, please!’ She chewed him out in her mind.Balls of fury swirled inside Natalie as she thought about it.Charis’ affectionate face when she talked about Sebastian also flashed through her mind.

It made her blood boil.

The next second, she lost her cool.She raised her blazing eyes and looked at Sebastian.She then shouted angrily, “Spare me your moral high ground, Sebastian. You have no right to guilt-trip me. You kept your words intentionally vague when it came to Charis.I"m your wife, but you didn’t tell me that she confessed her love to you before! Not once did you tell me that she had feelings for you.Why then are you concerned about who | have dinner with? Answer me!” Many people were moving in and out of the hotel.

They stole glances at the couple and whispered to each other.

They all thought that it was just a normal lovers’ iff, so none of them interfered.

Sebastian was rendered speechless.

After a while, he frowned and said, “Yes, it's true Charis once professed her love to me.But | didn't like her, so | refused her immediately. If she still hasn't moved on, how is that my fault?” All these could be traced back to high school.

As far as Sebastian was concerned, Charis’ confession of love was a trivial matter.He felt that it wasn’t supposed to be causing a fight in his marriage.

“It happened years ago.Honestly, | didn't tell you because | was afraid that you would be angrier if you knew it.Please, let's not argue over that anymore.” Sebastian took off his jacket and put it on Natalie.

Natalie snorted coldly and lowered her eyes without saying anything. She felt a little powerless.

Being kept in the dark was one of the things she hated the most.She wanted to know everything about him, no matter how small.

But Sebastian always had misgivings.He didn’t know how sad she

felt whenever he kept such little details away from her.

It always made her heart ache inexplicably.

Growing up as the adopted daughter of the Quinn family, her opinions were never taken into consideration.

They always ignored her and made decisions that were often disadvantageous to her.

This was also the case with her biological parents who had abandoned her without considering how she would survive in this cruel world.

All of these made Natalie feel so left out and unloved.She badly wanted to feel how it was like to be taken into consideration when decisions were being made.

“I know next to nothing about my husband, but Charis knows his favorite colors and the kind of things he likes.She was even by his side for many years.Oh, Lord!” The thought of this caused Natalie's heart to ache again.Her energy seemed to be draining rapidly.

Sensing that she was still sad, Sebastian put his arms around her and patted her back gently.He then asked, “Who told you about it?” Natalie suffered a banging headache and her face turned pale at

this moment.

The terrible memories tormented her greatly.

A painful lump went up to her throat when she tried to wade them off.

In a fit of pique, she wriggled free, took off his jacket, and threw it on him.She then replied with a pout, “Charis told me herself.” Sebastian caught the black jacket and frowned imperceptibly.He knew what kind of person Charis was.

At this moment, he thought, “Jeez! How could she do such a stupid thing? | guess | wasn't being too paranoid for keeping her a secret.She would have caused more harm if | made it clear to Natalie from the onset!” With that, Natalie walked forward without looking back.

Sebastian quickly followed her and grabbed her wrist.

“Even if you're angry, you shouldn't have gone to have dinner with Kent.He is a notorious scum in Seacisco. If | didn’t come here tonight, do you know what he would have done to you?” Natalie struggled to withdraw her hand from his hold but couldn't escape Sebastian's vice-like grip.She looked up at him and glared.

“It's none of your business! You better stay out of this. We don’t have feelings for each other.Our marriage is just a deal and we only try to make do. You have no right to interfere with my personal life.” Natalie didn't mind living alone.She wanted to live a peaceful life without any unnecessary problems and complications.

After earning enough money, she had planned to bring Hannah over from the countryside.

After all, Hannah was the only one who truly cared about her.

Although she looked gentle and sweet, deep down, she was more stubborn than anyone else.Sebastian’s body froze.He silently let go of her wrist.

Natalie walked to the other side of the road and hailed a taxi.She didn’t bother to look back at him even once.

Natalie knew that Sebastian must be mad at her for what she had said.

However, it didn’t matter because she believed the one he truly loved was back.

Natalie regarded herself as an outsider and thought it was time for her to step back.

As soon as Natalie returned home, she went to her room, picked

up all the things Sebastian had dumped in her room, and moved them into the living room.

Then, she took her belongings from Sebastian's room and moved back to her room.She didn’t want to live in the same room with Sebastian anymore.

When Sebastian returned home, he saw that Natalie had already moved back into her room and locked herself there.

Sebastian wandered around in the living room dejectedly.|t was yet another cold, lonely night.He was angry and upset.

However, considering he was the one who had caused all the problems in the first place, he held back his anger.

Sebastian walked toward Natalie's room and raised his hand to knock on the door.

But eventually he clenched his fist and decided against it. He walked back and slumped on the sofa, letting out a weary sigh.

Sebastian had always been a proud man.He didn't want to beg her to talk to him.

Besides, even if he did, he feared it would only worsen things and increase her anger.

Sebastian had no choice but to control himself and wait for Natalie to cool down.

After all, she seemed upset and angry.

Sebastian felt it was better for them both to take a break and then sit down and discuss the problem.

Charis was the reason for all their problems, so he decided to talk to her first. A thousand thoughts swarmed Sebastian's mind.He took a deep breath, went downstairs, and dialed Charis’s number.

“Hey, | thought you were busy,” Charis squealed with surprise “Why have you called me at this hour?” She had just returned home from work.

“I'm not calling to say hello.| want to ask you something.” Sebastian said coldly.

“Why did you tell Natalie about what happened between us in the past?” ‘When Charis decided to tell everything to Natalie and sow the seeds of doubts in her mind, she knew Sebastian would come to her “What's wrong? Did she quarrel with you?” Charis asked, pretending to be surprised.

“She's unhappy,” Sebastian grunted.

“I'm sorry, but | didn’t mean to do it. You know me,” Charis whined

innocently.

“She asked about us and our past, and | couldn't just walked away from our conversation. That would be rude. However, | made it clear to her that although | liked you, it's all in the past, and you're married now. | told her that | no longer have a crush on you and | only wish you two nothing but happiness. | didn't expect Natalie would bicker with you for such a trivial issue. | thought she was a reasonable woman.”
