A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 20 Wanting a Child

Natalie assumed that Cedric wouldn’t be back for a few days. To her surprise, he returned reeking of

alcohol after ten at night.

While drying her hair with a towel, she came out of the bathroom and spotted Cedric, who was still wearing the same clothes he had gone out in earlier.

Dressed in a bathrobe, a hint of coldness flickered in her eyes, and even her legs were tense. She turned and walked away without sparing him a glance. Evidently, she was heading to another room because even sharing the same space with him right now felt suffocating.

“Stop!”

She had only taken a couple of steps when she heard him call out in a chilling tone from behind her. That presence felt like it could tear her apart.

His voice grew colder as he asked, “Don’t you have anything to explain to me?”

Natalie snorted at his words. “No!”

Hearing hurried footsteps behind her, Natalie quickened her pace, but it was too late.

She fell into the man’s embrace.

Familiar scents mixed with the smell of alcohol.
