A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 286 Skilled Demeanor

Wendy looked at Natalie with concern.

Natalie had been with Cedric for ten years. Now, Natalie realized that the person beside her in bed wasn’t what she had perceived all along.

It was normal for anyone to be unable to accept it, right?

However, Wendy was overthinking it.

“Is it difficult?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Natalie sighed.
