A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 747 The Life of a Recluse After Clyde left, Stephen returned.

Natalie didn't go to work today. When Stephen saw her, his expression turned tender. €& "Come with me to the study," Stephen said, ascending the steps, with Natalie hurrying after him.

In the study, Stephen glanced at Natalie, hesitant to speak.

"I already know," Natalie said.

"You do?" Stephen raised his brows.

"Yeah." Natalie nodded.

After she heard the news from Clyde, she couldn't calm her heart for a long time today. So, she didn't go to work in '

the studio.

Stephen looked at Natalie, then sighed and said, "Nat, when your mother thought she lost you, we've been suffering all along." n n "We didn't even know you had a brother!" Natalie felt suffocated at the revelation.

Rebecca wanted to take Luna away, and Natalie wished to tear the older woman apart with her bare hands. She wouldn't lose Luna.

It showed how a mother's love for her child was irreplaceable.

So, Heather must have suffered tremendously upon losing her

children.

"Especially because Winona hadn't been obedient these years." Stephen's tone was full of regret when mentioning Winona.

Winona had been their only child for years, and they had treated her like a treasure. They had loved Winona so much, only to discover she was someone else's daughter...! When that happened, it was obvious how much pain Heather endured.

That was why none of them dared to intervene, even though they knew Winona was suffering... because Heather wouldn't allow it! It was cruel for their enemy to take their daughter away and leave his daughter with them to raise.

Heather and Stephen had invested a lot of time and effort into Winona over the years, but Winona never cherished it; leading to the current situation.

Pain... and anguish! Now, seeing Clyde able to handle everything, Stephen and Heather finally felt relieved...

"Since your mother wants to remain in Snow City and not return here, I'll stay with her," Stephen finally said after a long pause.

Natalie's heart tightened.

She knew what Stephen's words meant, especially after everything he had said.

After all that had happened, Natalie naturally understood how her parents

felt.

Natalie nodded. "That's fine." After enduring many years of torment, it was finally time to let go. It was also... time to let go of the torment! It was painful! Natalie could only imagine how it felt for her parents to raise Winona for so many years only to find out she wasn't theirs! How agonizing was it to know their real child was missing? And the fact that they hadn't even known about Clyde...

How painful was it for them? Then, they had found Natalie and Clyde. Stephen and Heather saw they were doing well and entrusted their lifelong efforts to their children's care, finally allowing them to find peace.

After all that, Stephen wanted to step back and accompany Heather to live a carefree life.

That was good! "Your brother will protect you." Stephen truly believed in Clyde and knew that even if he left, Clyde would protect Natalie.

Natalie nodded. "Yeah." No matter what Stephen and Heather decided to do, Natalie promised herself she would support them.

"Sometimes, you have to be rational about what to do and what not to do, okay?" Stephen advised.

"Got it." Natalie nodded.

At this moment, she tried her best not to worry her father. After all, this was

what Stephen wanted most. His withdrawal from Simeria would indirectly change everything.

Once, the people here had focused on Stephen and Heather. But now, all their attention would be on Clyde.

It was completely different! Natalie had to admit that Clyde had a remarkable grasp of the situation.

After all, Stephen... wouldn't easily trust someone.

Natalie had known long ago that Stephen wanted to retreat from the world with Heather. Even before Clyde came into the picture, Stephen had been trying various ways to make Natalie take on all the burdens of Regal Horizons International.

However, Natalie was less ambitious {

then, so Stephen delayed his retirement and stayed in Simeria.

It seemed that fortune favored them, leading them to find Clyde. With Clyde holding the reigns, it finally allowed Stephen and Heather to leave Simeria and retire.

It had been three days since Stephen's sudden departure.

In fact, it wasn't really sudden. He and Clyde had been making preparations all along. Natalie just hadn't known.

During those three days, Natalie knew exactly what Stephen was doing in Snow City. Heather kept sending videos.

Despite not living together, the family

remained close and kept each other informed about their lives.

"Mommy, when are you coming to see Luna?" Luna's voice sounded sweet and innocent over the phone as she spoke to Natalie.

Luna's soft voice could melt anyone's heart.

Natalie was willing to sacrifice anything for Luna, even her life.

People often assumed that after being hurt by a man, many women couldn't stand to see the man's child and might even resent them, considering the child a part of their tragedy.

But Natalie didn't see Luna that way.

She believed Luna was the best gift from the heavens to her. No matter what happened, Natalie cherished

Luna's presence in her life.

As for Cedric, Rebecca, and the rest of the Johnson family, Natalie felt Luna had no connection to them.

How could she bring herself to transfer any resentment or anger onto her own child? Children were innocent. She never entirely understood why people would say such things. And after experiencing it for herself, she found them even more incomprehensible.

"Once Mommy finishes her work, she'll come to be with you, okay? Be a good girl and wait for me, okay?" Natalie replied.

"Okay. Grandpa is already here with me." "Yes, Mommy knows," Natalie replied

gently.

After chatting with Luna a bit more, Natalie reluctantly hung up.

After Stephen left, the changes in Simeria were obvious.

Icarus' men came, and it was easy to guess what they were up to.

At the dinner table, Clyde looked at Natalie, who seemed unhappy.

"What's on your mind?" he asked.

"Lord Icarus' people were here," Natalie said.

Clyde frowned as soon as he heard her reply. He said, "Lord Malcolm visited me today. He personally came to Regal Horizons International." Natalie remained silent.

The Entes family's fifth and sixth sons! The situation was becoming more apparent. Just hearing about it made Natalie feel a chill down her spine.
