Chapter 18 Still Not Over the Ex–Wife
With tears rolling in Britney’s eyes, she wore her usual weak, vulnerable expression.
Comments from her viewers quickly flooded her live stream.
“Britney really is my goddess, she’s still gorgeous even when she’s ill
Get well soon, Britney. Just ignore that bitch, we’ll support you to the end!”
Finished
To which she replied. “I’m recovering well, guys, I’ll keep my head high, no matter what. Please don’t harass Natalie. I’m a woman too. I know exactly how she’s feeling. I don’t blame her for anything at all.”
Although Britney said that Natalie was not to blame, she continued sobbing and putting on a show of pity.
“Don’t cry over it, Britney. A baby–killer like Natalie doesn’t deserve your forgiveness, she should rot in jail.”
“Natalie’s really a total bitch, as if tearing apart Britney and Mr. Lawson’s relationship isn’t enough, she even has the audacity to cheat with some toy boy. Mr. Lawson should just hurry up and get rid of Natalie, then take our Britney’s hand in marriage.”
The malicious comments of her followers flooded the stream once more. Britney continued to fan the flames of hate a little. more, then promised her followers to invite Hubert into her stream someday. After that, she ended the stream.
Benson had arrived at Tomham to perform at a concert. Natalie had no choice but have a simple lunch with him in his MPV, then he headed off to see the main sponsor of the concert.
Natalie then headed for home, only stopping by the florist’s along the way to buy a bouquet of roses.
Benson would be having dinner with her that night and she planned to cook some steak. The roses were just to spruce up the atmosphere.
Natalie stepped out of the elevator, and a huge figure approached her.
It’s Hubert!
Why is he here?
Natalie walked to her door, but she did not key in her door code.
“Mr. Lawson, I can’t key in my house code with you standing here!”
Hubert’s gaze was cold, his voice was deep as he said, “Your house code? You must’ve lost your mind, Natalie, to the point that you’ve already forgotten where your real house is. Let me remind you, your house is at Norwell Residence, not here.”
Norwell Residence, that used to be where they both lived together.
“Go ahead and open the door, there’s something I must say to you.” Hubert said, his tone domineering as always.
Upon hearing the door click open, Steven came out from his room.
“Oh, Natalie, you’re… back.”
With a big bad wolf.
Tutimidated by Hubert’s oppressive aura, Steven froze at the entrance, too afraid to speak.
What are you looking at, isn’t this your parting gift to me?” Natalie said as she calmly pulled out a vase and placed the flowers
In it
“Please give us the r room, Steven. Mr. Lawson and I would like to t
Natalie then found a spray bottle and began spraying at the roses.

Chapter 18 Still Not Over the Ex–Wife
Hubert’s face was cold, his features were perfectly chiseled, as if it were a masterpiece.
His eyes were slender and elegant, and his gaze was filled with depths and mystery
His eyebrows were thick and grew in an aesthetically pleasing angle.
Natalie considered Hubert’s eyes and brows to be a sight that could take her breath away.
His nose was straight and well–balanced, and had a touch of elegance to it

His lips were slightly thin, and had a healthy shade of red to it, and whenever he pursed it slightly, the sight of it was enought to make Natalie weak in the knees.
She had slept very well on the night before, as if the man before her had never stepped into her life.
She had even convinced herself that being apart from him was not as bad as she had imagined.
However, as that man stood before her, she felt herself once again falling for him.
“Aren’t they precious… Bet it’s from that toy boy, huh?” As if trying to humiliate Natalie, Hubert lifted the flowers and dropped it back into vase roughly, while saying, “Looks bloody horrendous.”
The memory of Natalie once light–heartedly requesting flowers from him played in his head, a wish he did not grant her, simply because he felt that act immature.
Natalie also had the similar flashback, which made her heart ache.

“That’s true. After all, even the prettiest flower in the world would still be not worthy of your praise. What brings you he today? Hurry up and spit it out, dinner’s not going to cook itself Natalie said. There was a distant look in her eyes.
Hubert pursed his lips slightly as he recalled how Natalie had always stared at him so passionately. Yet the dinner she was about to make was not meant for him.
Hubert immediately got to his feet, then pushed Natalie against the cupboard as he leaned over her. The distance between them was so close that they could feel the heat and warmth of each other.
“Hah,” Natalie chuckled indifferently, “Still can’t get over your ex–wife, Mr. Lawson?”
