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

from Natalie. He picked up a glass of water and downed it in one gulp.

Setting the glass down with a bit more force than necessary, he said, “Move back to Scarlet Villa. That’s

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