A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 184 Can’t Get Through Tonight

The atmosphere in Cedric’s office was suffocating.

Yuvan nodded respectfully. “Yes, sir. I’ll check right away.”

As Yuvan turned to leave, Cedric’s thoughts were racing a mile an hour. Just as Yuvan put his hand on the

door handle, Cedric stopped him.

“Wait.”

Yes, Mr. Johnson?”

“Also, check if Isabella has any other enemies.”

“Yes, sir!”

At first glance, it seemed to be related to Natalie. However, with recent events piling up, many of Cedric’s

previous convictions were shaken.

So, this time, he would approach the matter involving Natalie with caution, especially given her consistent

denial of any involvement in Isabella’s affairs.

Meanwhile, Natalie was busy with her own affairs. The recent product launch was successful, and Auro

Studio was pushing its limits.

In addition, the eastern suburb project with Irwin was about to begin.

The details in her drawings needed to be perfected, so she was working late into the night. When Cedric

called, she almost wished she could bury her face in the keyboard!

She answered the call and said, “I’ll probably be working all night. You should go home first.”

“I’ll come and accompany you.” The man’s tone was unusually gentle.

Natalie’s hand holding the mouse paused. Her hand–drawn blueprints were completed, and now she was

Natalie thought about cursing but decided against it. The earlier warmth in the man’s voice on the phone

briefly reminded her of their past.

Back then, he was busy. She had to coax and come all the way to his office in person just to have lunch.

together.

Yet now…!

Ten minutes later, Cedric appeared in her office. He put down a box of pastries she liked–a popular item

that always had a long queue.

Every time he bought it, he personally went to get it.

In the past, whenever he brought these pastries, she would succumb to his considerate gesture, no

matter how angry she was.

But now, she said, “Don’t buy it anymore. I don’t like it.”

Cedric paused in taking off his coat. When he looked at Natalie, his eyes dimmed.

“Do you dislike the pastries, or do you dislike the person who brought them?”

Snap!

Natalie closed the folder and put down her mouse. Then, shed leaned on her desk with her hands clasped

together.

“Both!”

“It seems your temper is getting wilder, or do you need…”

Cedric, what do you have left besides using Regal Horizons to threaten me?”

She spoke casually and with an indifferent tone.

The light in Cedric’s eyes dimmed instantly. His gaze turned sharp and piercing as he stared at Natalie, as if he wished to see through her completely.

Undeterred, Natalie met his gaze. In a short span of time, he had already made her irritated.

Natalie remained silent. Undoubtedly, she had deliberately wanted to provoke him, hoping to drive him

away.

However, Cedric seemed determined to endure.

demeanor, the sharpness in Cedric’s eyes gradually softened, replaced by a gentle indulgence.

As he had said, their current dynamic seemed rather good. He even found her somewhat cute and, dare

he say, a bit naive–nalve enough to think that divorcing him meant escaping his grasp.

In the office, the only sounds were Natalie clicking the mouse and the rhythmic sound of their breathing.

After a while, Cedric’s phone rang.

His handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, evidently displeased by the interruption.

Stepping aside to answer the call, he said softly, “Hello.”

“Mr. Johnson, there’s trouble with some of our overseas projects.”

“How so?” Cedric’s tone turned sharp instantly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Sensing that something was wrong, Natalie raised her head from the computer to look at Cedric, who was also gazing at her.

About five minutes later, he ended the call and approached her. The air around him had suddenly become heavy.

“What are you doing?”

Seeing his expression, Natalie raised an eyebrow. Sounding somewhat displeased, she asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Cedric went straight to her, forcefully pulling her up from the office chair. Their l*ps met in a harsh, dominating k*ss, leaving Natalie wincing in pain.

Stephen was the chairman of Regal Horizons International!

Who here didn’t know that?

Given the significant loss Cedric caused him, how could he possibly stand that humiliation?

A strong force on her jaw made Natalie wince. Grinding his teeth, Cedric vented his frustration on her, You seem proud to have such an uncle.”

“Yes,” Natalie admitted without reservation.

It was satisfying to see Cedric’s deflated look.

He slammed her back into the chair and leaned over.

Natalie struggled to push him away, but in the end…!

“Cedric, you maniac! You bastard You…”

“Go ahead and curse. Hmm? I’ll allow you to vent now; soon, you won’t be able to. Hmm?”

“You son of a bitch…”

“Try another phrase. This one doesn’t suit you.”

Natalie was furious!

If she could, she would have wished for Cedric’s demise.

In the luxurious night of Verde City, a storm raged within Sylvan Gems.

Natalie gritted her teeth as she looked at Cedric, who was impeccably dressed.

“I really wish my uncle would just cut off all your connections abroad!”

“Natalie, it seems I didn’t teach you enough before.”

What are you up to now? Don’t be unreasonable!”

Hmph! Reasonable?”

Now, with her uncle stirring up more trouble, he was undoubtedly completely at odds with the Johnson

family.

“This time, I’ll let it go for your sake. Thanks to your uncle, you won’t be getting any sleep tonight!”

With that, Cedric effortlessly lifted Natalie off her feet.

“What are you doing? Put me down!” Natalie protested, feeling exasperated.

The design drafts for Apex Global haven’t been finished yet.

It was urgent!

“I’ve accompanied you for so long; it’s about time you return the favor to me, hmm?” Cedric chuckled,

paying no mind to Natalie’s struggles.

In the end, Cedric carried her off back to Johnson Enterprise.
