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

caring image.

However, the situation was different now!

Inside the office, Cedric was obviously frustrated as he tugged at the tie around his neck and sat across.

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

Cedric remained silent.

“You…!”

“You’ve surrounded me with luxury, but have you ever asked if I was truly comfortable by your side?”

Did you think I wouldn’t feel hurt by you asking me to give my eyes to another woman? Am I nothing more than a pet to you?

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

Natalie had roared the last part of her sentence, and Cedric instantly froze!

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

over the years.
