Chapter 39: No Longer a Pet

Now, everyone looked at Natalie with a sense of curiosity.

In the past, she would prepare a late–night snack and personally deliver it to Cedric whenever he worked late. Consequently, in the eyes of her colleagues, Natalie had always been associated with a gentle and

After all, a pet wouldn’t understand enough to feel this way!

He stared at Natalie with wide eyes. This was the first time… Natalie was talking about their life together

over the years.

She didn’t bother waiting for Cedric to respond.
