A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 20 Wanting a Child

Natalie assumed that Cedric wouldn’t be back for a few days. To her surprise, he returned reeking of

alcohol after ten at night.

While drying her hair with a towel, she came out of the bathroom and spotted Cedric, who was still wearing the same clothes he had gone out in earlier.

She fell into the man’s embrace.

Familiar scents mixed with the smell of alcohol.
