A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 185 Regrets

At Johnson Enterprise, Natalie watched as Yuvan, Lucas, and others moved in and out.

Several departments were urgently called for meetings, and she watched Cedric’s diligence and

seriousness in the work environment.

He looked so familiar, yet so strange.

Her heart was cold!

As he said, no one would be sleeping tonight. Issues arose with the foreign projects, and it was a colossal

matter. All departments returned to work overnight to address the problems.

During a brief break, after Cedric had conducted three consecutive meetings, he sat across from her and

observed her tired state.

Sensing his gaze, Natalie perked up and stared at him, “I genuinely hope this damn company won’t make

it through tonight!”

“You’d better pray that everything gets resolved tonight. Otherwise, you won’t be sleeping until it does,

understand?”

In essence, if he couldn’t sleep, neither could she.

It was retaliation. It was Cedric’s retaliation against the frustration Stephen imposed on him, which he

made sure Natalie would suffer with him.

Cedric indeed had some tricks up his sleeve, and now Natalie was infuriated.

“Given your abilities, you should have dealt with everything by now, right?” she retorted sharply.

In Cedric’s eyes, the previous Natalie would never have spoken like this. Regardless of what troubles his company faced before, he would never let her know, afraid that she would worry.

Now, standing at the pinnacle of a young businesswoman’s career, Cedric believed she could handle the

Natalie was desperate for sleep, especially now, as she was the least busy person in the office.

Also, it was so late in the night!

However, with people constantly coming in and out of Cedric’s office, how could she sleep?!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

As the night wore on and the early morning approached, Natalie was on the verge of collapsing onto the

sofa when she unexpectedly fell into familiar arms.

Startled, she woke up.

Cedric’s warm breath brushed against her face, and she met his amused gaze.

“Sleep,” he said.

“Have you finished everything?” she asked.

“Yeah.”

Natalie was silent.

“What’s wrong? Don’t believe me?” Cedric looked at Natalie, who was

Just now, Natalie had witnessed him conducting several meetings. It was also tonight that she truly saw

how the man was at work.

Before, she had misjudged this man!

Without needing to know the details, Natalie was certain the the mess Stephen had created was

undoubtedly a significant matter.

However, Cedric managed to resolve such a big issue in just one night.

She still rejected this embrace

If she could right now, she would rather leave Verde City.

The farther, the better.

“Let’s go” Her rejection was evident in her eyes, yet Cedric read it all. His eyes dimmed, but he remained silent. Without saying a word, he pulled her into his embrace and headed straight for the door.

“Where are we going?”

“Everything is prepared at home. No work today after pulling an all–nighter.”

After a night of overtime, the big boss naturally had the privilege of taking the day off.

Natalie glared at him fiercely.

Once in the car, Natalie instinctively tried to put some distance between them. However, Cedric

intentionally held her close, sitting with her in his arms.

Lucas was driving, and the streets were quiet at this hour, with very few vehicles.

Natalie gritted her teeth. “Could you please let go of me?”

“From now on, will you stop asking your uncle to mess with me?” Cedric asked.

“What do you mean? Are you implying it’s my fault?”

“Isn’t it? He spoils you a lot!” Cedric replied.

Natalie was speechless.

Already angry, his words now infuriated her even more. If she hoped to witness a standoff between her uncle and Cedric, she would already have informed Stephen and Irwin the day Cedric caused trouble for theme

After that, she never mentioned anything negative about Christina and Rebecca.

It wasn’t that she was unwilling to talk about the grievances she had with the Johnson family. It was just that…she had seen this man’s attitude once.

And now, she brought it up again!

Cedric’s face darkened. He put her down and sat aside. An instant sense of distance came over them,

and Natalie couldn’t help scoff inwardly.

Cedric said, “Tina doesn’t like you just because of Mom. Now that those issues are no longer relevant,

don’t let it bother you anymore.”

Natalie was speechless.

So what does that mean?

Did that imply that all the schemes Christina played on her before were because of Rebecca’s influence?

That woman was indeed cunning!

At this point, Natalie didn’t need to say much. Whatever she said, this man wouldn’t believe it anyway.

“Why are you silent?” Cedric’s tone became even more unpleasant.

Natalie sneered, “What do you want me to say?”

“You also know that Tina’s position in the Johnson family is unique. She isn’t malicious; she just listens to

Mom, hmm?”

I think you’ve got it wrong. I don’t care about the past issues.”

She just wanted to tell him what kind of person Christina was!

“You little fox!”

Seeing her changing attitude, Cedric felt exasperated. He poked her head, and even his reprimands were

filled with indulgence.

City lights flashed rapidly as the car sped past. The warm hues covered them, creating an atmosphere as if they were immersed in vastness, softening the coldness between the two.

In this warm ambiance, everything became so gentle.
