A Divorce After My Rebirth
Chapter 283

Chapter 283 A Sensitive Person

In the Entes family, the fifth and sixth sons each held half of the power and control.

Natalie had previously secured a project with the sixth son. Perhaps due to the relatively good

cooperation, the fifth son took the initiative to extend an olive branch!

Natalie glanced at Wendy. “How are the relationships between the sons in the Entes family?”

Wendy replied, “The relationship between the fifth and sixth sons has never been good.”

Never been good?

In that case…

“Decline it.”

If the fifth and the sixth sons didn’t have a good relationship, there were only a few possibilities as to

why the fifth son would approach Natalie soon after she secured a project

with the sixth son.

What if it was due to some internal dispute among these prominent families?

In the past two years, Natalie had witnessed the turbulent undercurrents between large

families.

She had skillfully avoided getting involved on many occasions.

Of course, when necessary, she could be quite firm!

Just like now.

She had already rejected an invitation from the Entes family’s fifth son once. Now that he was trying

again, she would have to be even more assertive.

Wendy nodded. “Alright.”

There were files piled up like mountains on Natalie’s desk, and it was a sight she had grown

accustomed to.

At noon, she expected Lydia or Xyla to deliver her medicine. However, to Natalie’s surprise, Heather

came personally.

“Aunt, why are you here?”

Natalie felt a headache coming on when she saw Heather. She quickly tried to recall if she had done

something to worry the older woman this morning.

But she hadn’t!

Instead, Heather handed her a key.

“What’s this?” Natalie asked.

“This is the key to Hillside Villa.”

“Huh?”

“I neglected to consider

“Aunt, it’s not like that!”

t young people nowadays don’t like to live with their elders.”

“Come back every weekend to see me, hmm? This is the most compromise I can make.”

Heather ignored Natalie’s attempt to explain. When Stephen mentioned to her that Natalie intended to

stay at the company due to work lately, she interpreted it as a generation gap.

This assumption placed pressure on Natalie. She stiffened at Heather’s words, completely unsure how

to react.

‘Aunt…

“Child, your uncle and I are your family. We have so many properties! Why would you want to stay at

the company?”

It wasn’t like that! Natalie didn’t want to do that either!

But Natalie couldn’t say that right now.

It was fortunate that Heather chose to interpret it this way, which relieved some of the pressure on

Natalie.

Well, since Heather put it that way….

Natalie nodded. “Thank you, Aunt!”

There were some things that Natalie still needed to settle, so she also couldn’t explain them at this

point.

Staying apart from Stephen and Heather would allow Natalie to deal with certain matters more easily. It

would also bring peace of mind when Natalie was done

“I’ve already arranged for Lydia and Xyla to go over. Everything there is taken care of.”

“Alright. Thank you, Aunt.”

Apart from expressing her gratitude, Natalle didn’t know what else to say at this moment. In any case,

she was deeply moved by Heather’s understanding.

Heather took Natalie’s hand and said sincerely, as long as you’re well, I can give you anything you

want

As long as Natalie was fine, everything would be okay.

Heather’s words were filled with emotion, and it startled Natalie.

She knew that since Winona’s incident two years ago, Heather rarely mentioned Winona. However, she

could feel that Heather had transferred much of the love she had for Winona

onto her.

This emotional shift made Natalie feel both helpless and somewhat bitter.

Natalie still didn’t know what Winona had done to have caused Stephen and Heather such heartbreak.

Even now, they were reluctant to mention Winona. It had become a taboo within the Jarvis family.

No one dared to bring it up.

“Aunt.”

“Yes?”

“What happened to Winnie?” Natalie asked, holding Heather’s hand.

Natalie clearly saw this ongoing conflict as something that needed resolution, and she intended to

persuade Heather.

However, when she mentioned Winona, Heather’s expression instantly changed.

In an unpleasant tone, Heather said, “Nat, don’t mention her again!”

“What happened?”

“Why do you and Uncle-”

“Nat!”

Natalie fell silent at Heather’s sudden solemn tone.

Heather felt Natalie’s unease, so she patted the back of Natalie’s hand and said, “All of that is in the

past. We don’t want to bring it up again, understand?”

In the past?

But that was their daughter!

Could they really move past it by just saying it was in the past? Natalie felt uncomfortable about it, but

she didn’t want to press further after seeing Heather’s state.

Enough of that, okay? Drink your medicine.”

Okay

Since Heather was personally here, Natalie couldn’t pretend to drink it. So, she obediently tilted her

head back and drank all the medicine.

While watching Natalie drink the medicine, Heather added, “These medicines not only regulate your

body but are also good for your eyes.”

“I’m more interested in knowing how long I have to take these medicines!”

Indeed, these bitter medicines were a constant presence in Natalie’s memory. She had been taking

them at all times over the past two years, and she still didn’t know what ailment she had.

In any case, if Heather asked her to take it, she had to take it. If she didn’t, Heather would nag. And

when Heather got anxious, she might even cry.

“That depends on your health,” Heather said.

Every time this question came up, Heather always gave the same answer. Over time, Natalie didn’t

bother asking again.

In any case, Stephen and Heather wouldn’t harm her.

When Heather returned from the company, Stephen saw she was carrying a thermos and asked, “Did

you go there yourself?”

“Yeah.”

“You know, Nat is sensitive by nature,” Stephen remarked.

After all, Natalie had grown up in that kind of environment. Not being sensitive wasn’t an option for

someone raised in such conditions.

Heather grumbled as she sat down beside him, “I know. I just want her to feel more comfortable, you

know?”

Heather really cared about Natalie and was reluctant to let her leave Lotus Villa. But since Natalie felt

restricted while living with them, it was better to let her live elsewhere.

But considering Natalie’s health…

“I’m just worried about her!” Heather’s tone was filled with concern.

Lydia and Xyla have already gone to take care of her, haven’t they?” Stephen asked.

No, I’m still worried. From now on, I’ll be at Hillside Villa during the day.”

that will make Nat more nervous,” Stephen washed.

worried that the malds won’t take good care of her health Her body is fragileright now

Over the past two years, Heather put a lot of effort into improving Natalie’s health.

It was evident that Natalie also felt better mentally now. This was due to the people around her

investing a considerable amount of effort into ensuring her well–being.
