After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 71

Nathan looked a little conflicted. His driver, picking up on the vibe, got into the car first. Nathan quietly said, “You worried for nothing.”

Maybe this time it was just a misunderstanding. But Tracy would get pregnant eventually. She would go through morning sickness eventually. “Looks like I misread him. Are you sure your info is legit?” I still had my doubts.

Nathan replied firmly, “Definitely.” I believed him. Nathan seemed genuine. I told Nathan to leave. I sat inside the Mercedes- Benz dealership, sipping coffee and watching people come and go.

Then Jared called and asked where I was. My mind went blank for a second, and then I said, “I just smashed my headlight. I’m getting the car fixed now.”

I didn’t want to make things difficult. I grabbed my bag and got ready to leave. The manager kindly offered to drive me home. I declined. I stood by the door waiting for a cab when a silver Bentley slowly pulled up.
