Chapter 18
Natalie’s tears stopped abruptly. Her arms fell weakly to her sides as she stared at him, stunned. She couldn’t make sense of the sudden shift in his attitude.
Betare, he’d be more worried than anyone else whenever she cried. But now, his eyes were full of indifference, like it wouldn’t even face him if she cried herself to death.
She couldn’t bring herself to admit that she had intentionally provoked Kelly or schemed behind the scenes.
Pressing her lips together, Natalie pleaded with a voler full of desperation, “Hughie, I swear I didn’t do anything. You have to believe me. Ms. Kessler is such a good person, and you’ve done so much for me.
“I’m so grateful to both of you. Why would I ever hurt her? Yeah, she’s never liked me and has been throwing a fit for a while, but Hughie, you can’t just turn your back on me because she left”
As she spoke, she managed to squeeze out a few more tears. She knew Hugh had always been softhearted. Right now, that was the one thing she could rely on to smooth things
Maybe he hadn’t caught everything she said, Even if he had, she could always claim those insults came from her friend and that she’d just been trying to calm her down.
As long as Hugh didn’t push it, Natale could find the right moment to slip in the news that she was carrying his child. With that, the time they’d spent together, and everything they’d been through, she was sure she could make him forget about everyone else.
But Hugh wasn’t backing down. He let out a cold, mocking laugh.
“you really don’t know when to quit, do you? You still don’t get what kind of man I am after all these years. My parience has its limits, Natalie.
He slammed her head against the table, his fingers digging into her throat until she could barely get a breath.
“Fine. Maybe I’ll just tell your family I’m done with you. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to take you back, Hugh said.
The threat scared Natalie more than the choking. All she could picture was her father’s cold, hateful face, the way he’d looked when he threatened to marry her off to some gross
old man
Paninished through her, almost breaking her. “No, please! Don’t tell them! I talk, Hughie, I’ll tell you everything!”
Hugh’s grip loosened slowly at her words. “Then start talking.”
Cold air rushed into Natalie’s lungs, making her cough hard, but she didn’t waste a second.
Struggling to catch her breath, she whimpered, “Y–You can check my phone!”
Naralle fumbled to unlock it and handed it over. “I swear, I didn’t do anything. You’ve got it all wrong.
Inside, she felt a rush of relief, knowing she’d already wiped every message that could’ve shown she’d pushed Kelly too far.
But Hugh barely looked at the phone before realizing she was hiding something Without hesitation, he grabbed it from her and started dialing someone who could dig up all the deleted data
When Natalie overheard him on the phone, it was like the ground was slipping out from under her.
She grabbed his arm, practically begging, “Hughe, please, just trust me this once! Don’t send it off for recovery…
But this time, Hugh wasn’t about to let her oft easy. He’d already given her more chances than she deserved. She was the one who had blown them.
As Natalie crumpled to the floor, Hugh calmly told Ben to dig into everything she had done to Kelly
