A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 752 It Was Over rq Irwin was now in a world of torment, He had made a promise to Cedric, but due to the negative behavior of the entire Jarvis family, he was unable to keep it.

Now, he was closely monitoring the | situation between Natalie and the | Entes family, and it felt like his heart was constantly under immense pressure! At the restaurant, Austin tenderly placed the sliced steak in front of Natalie. His demeanor exuded elegance and gentleness, captivating even the nearby waiter.

His refined features were especially irresistible, and it was surprising to many that the rumored fool was not only handsome but also caring.

"Thank you," Natalie said politely.

Austin replied, "You don't have to be so formal with me." His warm tone made Natalie pause. She took a sip of the red wine before addressing Austin, "Don't think too much about what happened on the phone earlier." Undoubtedly, this meal was Natalie's treat. In Simeria, everyone was exploitable except for those from the Entes family. Natalie had always been aware of this, but Irwin infuriated her this time.

She never expected Irwin to return to

| Simeria after their divorce.

As the conversation continued, Austin _ chucked. His laughter was warm yet sharp.

"Were you using me?" Natalie fell silent.

Austin looked at Natalie, and her heart skipped a beat as she silently looked at him.

The answer to that question was evident.

They met each other's gaze, and then Austin sipped on his wine. ' His tone was indescribably complex as he said, "You've got some nerve!" There were profound implications in his heart. Instead of the expected danger, there was a hint of indulgence

in his tone.

Such indulgence could easily intoxicate one's heart, but Natalie remained completely sober.

""Have you completely ended things with Irwin?" "Yeah." "No wonder." n n No wonder what? No wonder Icarus and Malcolm had been in contact with Clyde recently? However, even though it was over between Natalie and Irwin, the Jarvis family's position wouldn't waver. It wasn't something that could change over a meal, a few phone calls, or

someone's proactive approach.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again next § time," Natalie said.

The air quieted down, and even their breathing was audible.

"I, on the other hand, hope there are more instances of such a thing happening," Austin said.

"Lord Austin." Natalie's tone grew stern The man across from her spoke plainly, even voicing Natalie's unspoken thoughts. "Natalie, you're a smart person. Naturally, you understand what the end with Irwin means." " n "But from your attitude, I can tell that

even if the Entes family had you surrounded, you wouldn't seek his protection, would you?" The man's straightforwardness laid bare all of Natalie's thoughts.

Natalie remained silent, and Austin smiled.

"Stay by my side during this time, and I'll protect you." "You, protect me?" When Natalie heard this, she felt as if she had heard a joke.

Protect her? Undoubtedly, Natalie thought of Irwin when Austin said that. Hadn't Irwin done the same back in Verde City? After Natalie was practically thrown into hell by Cedric, Irwin was there by

her side, protecting her. However, looking back now, that so-called protection was laughable and even unbearable to recall.

"Why? Don't you believe me?" Austin asked.

"Lord Austin." Natalie's gaze turned sharp and serious as she looked at Austin. Her eyes were colder than ever, devoid of the gentleness she had displayed during their earlier phone call.

The woman before Austin now exuded an endless chill.

Then, Natalie said, "Don't make promises to women lightly, understand?" "Austin was speechless.

Promises? That was right! Women were inherently emotional.

They knew who treated them well and who didn't. Their perception on this matter was quite clear. If someone couldn't give her the most sincere things, it was better not to say such things to her.

Once certain promises were made, and if they were broken in the end...

perhaps no relationship could be salvaged at all.

It was just like the friendship between [rwin and Stephen. They were once close friends, but because of Natalie, that precious friendship ultimately couldn't continue...

"Lord Austin, you should have a deeper

understanding of what's important in a person's life than me. So, you should be more cautious with your words and actions," Natalie said.

Back then, Irwin probably found it too late to back off when he found out she was Stephen's niece. After all, things between her and Cedric had already escalated beyond control because of Isabella.

However, Irwin could have stopped some of his plans.

For example, unconditionally protecting her...

At that time, Natalie already had the Jarvis family behind her. So, Irwin's protection wasn't really that important, right? However, even in such a situation, he

stayed by Natalie's side, emphasizing the importance of his presence! And that made his departure all the more ironic.

"It seems like you're truly afraid of getting hurt," Austin said with a sigh.

"Perhaps," Natalie replied calmly.

Maybe it was true that she was afraid of getting hurt.

People said that emotions were the hardest to see clearly.

Natalie once believed that as long as she felt with her heart, everything would be fine.

It was impossible to know how strong one's facade was. One couldn't see everything. How could a person claim

BE + WS SON pe to understand feelings when emotions were not visible to the eyes? Moreover, things that a person heard were not ) necessarily true.

For Natalie, even what she felt now might not be real.

So, what in this world was truly real? She... really didn't know anymore.

"That's fine." Austin seemed indifferent to Natalie's reaction, and his tone was casual.

He then continued, "Since you can't be with Irwin during this time, I am your only option." It was clear that Natalie had no other option but to choose Austin at the moment.

With the recent developments at Regal Horizons International, the mounting pressure from Icarus and Malcolm was | becoming increasingly evident.
