A Divorce After My Rebirth
Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Approaching Good Times

In a towering office building in Simeria, Natalie’s petite figure remained unchanged. There was now a

sharpness and weariness of life’s twists and turns present on her delicate cheeks

She emerged from the elevator in professional attire with a pair of glasses on her face, and she

presented a composed and capable demeanor.

Accompanied by several assistants, she walked and gave instructions to Karina, who led the group.

Karina took note of everything as they walked.

One of the secretaries approached Natalie respectfully, “Ms. Walker, Mr. Frazier is here. He’s been

waiting for a while and didn’t want to disturb you with a phone call.”

Upon hearing that Irwin was here, Natalie’s usually strict work attitude instantly softened, and a smile

spread on her lips.

She closed a folder and handed it to Karina, saying “Go to the meeting room first.”

“Yes, Ms. Walker.” Karina took the folder and left.

Natalie strode toward her office, and her assistants returned to their respective positions.

The secretary pushed open Natalie’s office door.

Inside, a broad–shouldered figure stood by the French windows. Natalie’s smile deepened at the sight.

As

she entered, the door closed behind her. When the man turned to look at her, there was nothing but

indulgence in his eyes.

“Are you done with work?”

Watching Natalie approach, Irwin habitually opened his arms for her.

Even after two whole years, Natalie still felt somewhat unaccustomed to the man’s gentle and warm

attitude.

Raising an eyebrow, she walked to the sofa and sipped water from the cup in front of her.

Observing her familiar reaction, Irwin didn’t replace it awkward. On the contrary, his smile became even

more tender and indulgent.

Looking at her drinking without any defense, he chuckled, “That’s the cup I’ve used.”

Hearing this, her hand holding the cup stiffened.

Then, she reluctantly put it down before looking at Irwin and said, “I’m not done with work yet. I heard

you

were here, so I came straight to the office.”

She had gone to the factory site in the morning and found some problems that required a meeting to

resolve quickly.

Irwin’s smile deepened.

“Did I disturb you?”

“No.”

“Uncle asked me to meet him tonight, Irwin said while taking a seat opposite Natalie.

While saying this, he glanced at Natal e with a hint of probing in his eyes.

Upon hearing that Stephen wanted to meet Irwin tonight, Natalie’s heart skipped a beat,

Lately, things between her and Irwin…!

Thinking about this, a solemn expression crossed Natalie’s features as she looked at Irwin.

“Mr. Frazier, do you want to reconsider?” she said in a light tone.

It was different now, fundamentally different.

She was no longer the age where she could choose and compromise freely. In the past two years.

Irwin had been by her side. He even treated her exceptionally well during that period.

However, Natalie felt uneasy about it.

If she were to commit to Irwin, everything would seem logical, but she couldn’t wholeheartedly accept

it.

It’s not that Irwin isn’t good, but she… isn’t good enough.

In Simeria, Natalie came to realize that… though Irwin’s influence in Verde City was limited, it was a

different story in Simeria. His status and influence here were way beyond that.

He was an unreachable existence that could only be admired from a distance.

Irwin’s kindness towards her made her feel like it was pity or some other factor at play. He treated her

well, and he was gentle, but none of it seemed like love.

“Nat, do you have any other concerns?”

“Never mind, there’s always time. I’m just going to see Uncle. Don’t feel too pressured, alright?”

Seeing Natalie’s distress, Irwin reassured her in a gentle tone. However, Natalie didn’t feel much relief

when she heard Irwin speak like this

Even though both her uncle and Irwin didn’t pressure her, Natalie still felt a significant psychological

burden from Irwin.

Without responding to Irwin, Natalie checked the time on her wristwatch and said, “I have an urgent

meeting. If you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you wait for me to go back together?”

“Sure.” Irwin nodded.

Natalie stood up, exchanged a few more words with Irwin, and then hurriedly went to the meeting.

Currently, at Regal Horizons International, since her recovery two years ago, Stephen gradually

handed

over the company to her to manage.

Before that, Natalie was just a housewife, and there was much for her to learn.

It’s evident how hard these two years have been for her! She didn’t even have time to delve into why

her uncle and aunt didn’t inquire about Winona’s situation,

She also didn’t have time to pay attention to the meaningless matters in Verde City.

Every day, her focus was on the company. She would collapse into bed exhausted, having no time to

be

distracted.

Even with Irwin’s constant companionship, she had little time to respond to him.

Because she was the heir to Regal Horizons International, managing such a large enterprise that

Stephen built with half his life’s effort, she naturally couldn’t learn it overnight.

From the initial unfamiliarity to now effortlessly handling various matters, Irwin’s guidance and the

elders‘ supplementary lessons played a crucial role.

A meeting that was expected to last only half an hour ended up taking a full two hours.

When Natalie returned to the office, she looked apologetically at Irwin. “Sorry, there were some

disagreements during the meeting.”

The meeting was originally planned for half an hour.

Who would have thought it would take so long?

Natalie felt a bit guilty, especially when she saw no impatience in Irwin’s eyes.

However, Irwin responded to her apology with just a gentle smile and said. “Agnes called and said they

are waiting for us,”

Agnes was Stephen’s butler.

“Oh, let’s hurry then!” Natalie hurriedly said when she heard that everything had been prepared.

Irwin extended his hand to her.

Natalie’s expression stiffened for a moment. She hesitated briefly and then, as if relieved, placed her

somewhat cold hand into the warmth of the man’s palm

Feeling her cold hand, Irwin frowned. “Why are you so cold?”

“It’s like this during the early spring weather,” Natalie responded lightly to Inwin’s remark

Irwin took off his coat and carefully put it on her. Her figure was petite, and his tall coat reached down

to her knees, resembling a child wearing an adult’s clothes.

A blush flashed across Natalie’s smal face for the man’s usual thoughtfulness. She said, “I’m actually

not

cold.”

“When you feel cold, it’ll already be too late, and you would have fallen sick,” the man reproached with

al hint of blame, but it didn’t hide the indulgence.

Natalie didn’t argue.

Her health hadn’t been good for the past two years. Heather had tried various methods, and even now,

she would be watched by her aunt as she drank herbal tea every day.

Heather insisted that if a girl’s body wasn’t properly regulated, it wouldn’t bode well for her future,

The two left the company hand in hand.

All the employees who saw them smiled as if it were a common sight, already accustomed to this

pleasing scene.

Once Natalie and Irwin entered the elevator, some bolder employees began to gossip.

“Do you think Ms. Walker and Mr. Frazier are about to announce good news?”

“It’s hard to say. If they get married, Ms. Walker will be really happy with Mr. Frazier.”

+15 BONUS

“Yeah, Mr. Frazier is so gentle. Ms. Walker looks so petite standing next to him. They make a wonderful

picture.”

“Exactly, did you see Ms. Walker just now wearing Mr. Frazier’s coat? Luckily, it’s not a trench coat; if it

were, the coat would have reached her ankles!”
