A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 287 Because You Owe Her

Cedric looked at Natalie in a way that showed he could barely tolerate what she was doing.

He approached her, snatched the cigarette she had only smoked halfway, and forcefully stubbed it into the ashtray.

“Smoking is bad for your health!”

His tone was less than pleasant.

The familiarity of his words hit her.

Natalie suddenly remembered saying the same thing to Cedric before. Now, he had thrown the

words back at her.

Ignoring Cedric, she lit another cigarette.

Seeing her like this, a turbulent emotion surged in the man. He took away the lit cigarette, along with the whole pack.

“Are you here just to control me?” Natalie finally lost control and exclaimed. She glared at Cedric, the coldness in her eyes piercing.

That word, ‘control,‘ was immensely significant for both of them.

When Natalie married him, she had nothing. She didn’t have a family or guardian. As her husband, he assumed the responsibility of not only a husband when he married her but also that of a guardian–she was his dependent.

It showed just what kind of role Cedric played in Natalie’s world at that time.

However, now…

“Yes, I’m here to control you!” Cedric declared seriously, facing Natalie’s cold gaze.

The words made Natalie scoff. The irony in her laughter was not lost on Cedric.

“Fine, tell me, what right do you have to do so?” she retorted.

“Nat.”

“It’s over, do you understand? It’s been over for a long time!”

Things between them had ended a long time ago.

These words weighed heavily on Cedric’s mind. Each word pierced painfully into his heart. It was an ache that was suffocating
