Sebastian knew Joanna had told her on purpose to ruin their relationship, but he still hadn't found out who the man backing her was.
And Natalie was also investigating that man, which was dangerous.
“You don’t need to worry about why. Just stay here obediently. I will never divorce you. The only way I’m leaving this marriage is in a coffin. I’ll give you a clear explanation for all of this later.”
Sebastian looked down at her, his gaze intense. “Also…”
Natalie didn't want to hear his ‘also.’ She turned and headed upstairs.
Sebastian’s eyes darkened as he watched her go. “Also, Natalie, you don’t love me. If you truly loved me, you would have been able to tell at a glance who I am and who I am not.”
Hearing this, Natalie turned back in confusion. His jaw was tight as he stared at her. She frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Sebastian didn’t move or speak, just continued to stare at her intensely.
She thought she saw a flicker of pain in his eyes, but when she looked closer, his expression was calm again, as if it had never been there.
In the end, Sebastian didn't answer her. He turned, walked past her, and went straight upstairs to his study.
Natalie was completely baffled. What was wrong with him?
She frowned. Today’s mess was Joanna’s doing. That woman would never learn until she hit a brick wall.
Sighing, Natalie felt exhausted. Since she couldn't go to the office, she decided to work on her design sketches at home.
After the New Year, she would return to her mentor's lab to continue her research on the AI medical system.
As for Sebastian, she could only wait until he got bored. He would let her go eventually.
She couldn't win a direct fight, so she had to lie low and wait for her chance. With Joanna pregnant, the day of her divorce from Sebastian was surely approaching.
Back in her room, Natalie received a message from Herbert.
[Natty, Mrs. Wilson is out of danger. Don't worry.]
Natalie smiled. With Herbert there, she knew everything would be fine.
Natalie: [Thank you, Herbert!]
Herbert: [You silly girl!]
