Chapter 128
She no longer had to rack her brain to choose the perfect gift for him to bring to some banquet.
Chewing on a lamb skewer, she turned to Queena. “Having fun?”
Queena, who also hadn’t relaxed in ages, was flushed and sweaty from their games. She nodded with a wide smile. “So much fun. I’m having a blast.”
Natalie was about to say something when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw Joanna’s name. She’d forgotten to block her.
Today was supposed to be a happy day. Why did this trash keep bothering her? Joanna was like a piece of gum stuck to her shoe, constantly clinging to her.
She answered the call, her voice sharp. “What?”
Joanna’s voice was triumphant. “Natalie, Sebastian and I are discussing our marriage tonight. Aren’t you jealous?”
Honestly, she felt nothing of the sort. Her heart had died the moment Sebastian had made her sign the divorce papers. No, it had died in her past life, when he pushed her down the stairs.
Natalie laughed. “Joanna, are you okay?”
Joanna was taken aback. “What do you mean, am I okay?”
“You sound perfectly healthy, so why is your brain not working? Go find a block of tofu and smack your head against it until you wake up. Sebastian and I have already signed the papers. You have a serious problem if you keep popping up trying to get a rise out of me. You and Sebastian are a perfect match. You two should be locked up together. My wallet is fat and my life is great, so stop with your fake sincerity. You do you, and I’ll do me. Your marriage plans have nothing to do with me.”
Joanna paused, checking the number on her screen. It was definitely Natalie’s. But why was she reacting like this? Before, if she had said something like that, Natalie would have flown into a rage, calling her shameless. As long as Natalie got angry, Joanna won.
Furious, Joanna stamped her foot but then said smugly, “Natalie, you must not have heard me correctly Sebastian and are discussing marriage tonight. And this time, it’s not me stealing him from you. It was Mom’s idea. She said she’s going to propose he marry me tonight.”
“So, you want me to say congratulations? Fine.
Congratulations. May you two live happily ever after.” Natalie, truly fel no sadness anymore. She had accumulated enough
disappointment to last a lifetime,
leaving no room for tears?
“Natalie, you should come back tonight and finalize the divorce. Sebastian said he wants to settle it tonight. If you’re not there, you’ll just claim I bullied you again.”
Natalie scoffed. “Who the hell do you think you are? Bully me? I put up
bully me?
with you before because I thought of you as family. Now you’re nothing. Why would ffet you you want to try? Go ahead, you psycho.”
“Ah! Natalie, you cursed at me!” Joanna shrieked.
Natalie laughed coldly. “So what if I did? You deserved it. Do I need to make an appointment to call you out?” Thɪs chapter is updated by.net
She hung up, then paused. After a moment’s thought, she unblocked Sebastian’s number and dialed.
He answered instantly.
“Natalie-”
“I just got a call from Joanna. She said you’re divorcing me to marry her. Great. I’l
meet you at the city hall at nine tomorrow morning.”
Natalie hung up with a sharp click, then promptly blocked him again on everything.
Sebastian stared at his phone, speechless. He tried to call back, only to find he had been blocked. Again.
