Rebirth Of Vengeance

Chapter 76

Natalie stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, thinking, 'He sounded as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I was right about him-he brought me back for nothing more than to be his maid. She sneered, "What does whether you eat or not have to do with me? I've already eaten."

After saying that, she was about to leave.

Easton's cold voice echoed behind her. "Natalie, get down here and make me dinner. I want beef and potato pottage. If I don't get it tonight, your company will go bankrupt by tomorrow." Natalie took a deep breath.

She thought, 'Damn it, this bastard has finally found a way to threaten me. Even after being given a second shot at life and signing the divorce papers, I still can't cut ties with him.'

"Fine, just wait," Natalie snapped, stomping upstairs while thinking of how to get herself out of this mess.

She thought, 'It's not the right time to go head-to-head with Easton. Jennifer will get rid of him eventually. So I'll just play along and wait. It's just a meal. I've cooked for him plenty of times before.'

Natalie went to the room she used to stay in. Everything was just as she had left it.

This was her first time back since she'd been transported from the future, yet she felt no attachment to the place.

She had already moved on after being overwhelmed by despair, so this place and everything else no longer stirred any emotion in her.

She went to the closet, picked out something more comfortable to wear, and changed into a pair of comfy shoes. Then, she sent a message to her grandfather and brother. [Grandpa, don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'll be home soon.] Lambert replied: [Is that brat Easton giving you a hard time?]

Natalie texted: [Grandpa, he won't be able to do it anymore. Don't worry. I'll take care of myself.]

James replied: [If anything happens, call me.]

Natalie texted: [I will! If there's trouble, you'll be the first one I call.]

Smiling, she slipped her phone into her pocket, grabbed her bag, and headed downstairs.

Without so much as a glance at Easton, she made her way straight to the kitchen.

Easton hated having outsiders around, so usually, it was just the two of them in the house, but most of the time, she was the only one there.

She was very familiar with this place.

She found the ingredients in the fridge, prepared them, and set the soup to simmer. She also cooked some spaghetti for Easton

Easton sat on the couch, going over some documents, occasionally glancing up at the kitchen.

Watching Natalie move around in the warm light of the kitchen made him feel at ease.
