Chapter 39: No Longer a Pet

Now, everyone looked at Natalie with a sense of curiosity.

In the past, she would prepare a late–night snack and personally deliver it to Cedric whenever he worked late. Consequently, in the eyes of her colleagues, Natalie had always been associated with a gentle and

Cedric remained silent.

After all, a pet wouldn’t understand enough to feel this way!

He stared at Natalie with wide eyes. This was the first time… Natalie was talking about their life together
