A Divorce After My Rebirth
Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Playing Him

There was no doubt that Natalie’s greatest concern right now was Cedric’s potential change of heart!

They had been caught up in this matter for so long. She always felt powerless no matter what she did,

though she didn’t used to care!

However, she couldn’t ignore the risk of public opinion turning against her if she did anything excessive

while being Cedric’s wife!

Just as she was about to say something to provoke him, Cedric eventually spoke, “I’ve thought this

through; we’re getting a divorce.”

Although his attitude wasn’t firm enough, his determination was unmistakable at this moment.

Perhaps it was better to proceed with the divorce.

Even if they continued to stay together, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing.

After leaving the clerk’s office, Natalie and Cedric each held a divorce certificate.

It was quite different from the time they came to get married. Back then, they walked through that door

together.

But now, the distance between them was so vast.

Who would have thought that they would end up this way?

They had been so determined to stay together then, and now they were equally committed about

parting ways.

As Natalie walked towards her Bugatti, Cedric couldn’t help feeling uneasy. But after a moment’s

reflection, he realized they were divorced now.

There was no longer a connection between them, and he no longer had any control over her.

She no longer needed him, and he.

Let’s go Cedric said as Natalie was about to pass him.

ned back, puzzled “Do? Go where?”

Cedric’s punatic

Cedric clarified, “To the hospital.”

Natalie raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

The hospital?

Cedric coldly said, “Don’t forget, you agreed to exchange your eyes for the divorce last night.”

Since she didn’t want his love, she would have to accept his ruthlessness!

From now on, she wouldn’t receive any warmth in his world. She would only experience his cruelty, just

like everyone else.

Natalie smiled. Her voice was sarcastic as she said, “I see you haven’t woken up yet!”

She turned and left, leaving behind a parting comment as though speaking to a fool.

Cedric stood rooted to the spot. The air around him grew colder as time passed.

That damn woman had played him, hadn’t she?!

Yes, he had been played!

Cedric seemed to have forgotten that the current Natalie was no longer the obedient daughter–in–law

of the Johnson Family, where whatever he said was the law.

Natalie was in an extremely good mood after her divorce from Cedric!

She called Bianca to let her know that they were going to celebrate today.

After all the turmoil Bianca had sat through with Natalie, the latter had finally divorced Cedric!

Blanca Immediately took a leave from work and rushed home. Natalie had already bought groceries

and was waiting for her.

Have you been waiting long?” Bianca asked.

Blanca opened the door, and they entered the house together.

of the two of them in the kitchen cooking together was a rare one. Ever since Natalie had

entire lifestyle had been governed by his world and the demands of the Johnson

This newfound freedom was a first in a long time!

Bianca looked at Natalie and asked, “Why did he suddenly agree to the divorce?”

Previously, he had been so firm about not wanting a divorce. He had even tried to drive Bianca out of

the legal world to prevent her from meddling in Natalie’s affairs.

That was something Bianca hadn’t told Natalie.

He had been so determined to make sure Bianca had no place left in the legal field!

How could such a resolute person suddenly agree to a divorce?

Natalie replied, “He agreed to the divorce on the condition that I lend my eyes to that woman

temporarily.”

“What?!” Bianca was shocked.

She stared at Natalie with a mix of disbelief and fear. So, the reason for her smooth divorce was

agreeing to this insane condition from Cedric?

Natalie looked at Bianca with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

“You never would have expected this, right? That he would propose such a crazy condition!”

Even though Natalie had experienced it once, she still couldn’t stop her heart from hurting!

Bianca asked, “And you agreed?!”

She didn’t even need to ask, the answer was clear.

Otherwise, why would she divorce him at this crucial moment?

Blanca was tempted to slap Natalie. What kind of condition was this?! How could she agree to

something

like that? Did she even understand the consequences of such a decision for herself?

Being blind and unable to see… What kind of pain was that?

Even just thinking about it was terrifying!

However, Natalie had agreed to it

How could she?

erodded and said agreed to it.”

Natalie replied, “Did you think I’d actually give it to him?”

“Do you mean…?”

Blanca understood what Natalie meant with just that one sentence, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Natalie had agreed but had also played Cedric,

She had only agreed so that Cedric would sign the papers!

And Cedric had agreed to the divorce solely to obtain her eyes. So, looking back at his previous

determination not to divorce her… it was all because of her eyes?!

Bianca wondered if there was a man more ruthless and cunning than Cedric. The word “heartless”

didn’t

even begin to describe his cold–heartedness.

“So, you won’t have anything to do with him now?”

“We’re already divorced. Why bother with someone who’s no longer relevant?”

“But will he just let it go?”

“Buying and selling a living organ is illegal, don’t you know that?” Natalie looked at Bianca as if she was

speaking to a simpleton.

Bianca had been overwhelmed by anger earlier.

She was a lawyer, and she knew well that this was illegal. So, forget about how Natalie had only

verbally agreed. Even if she had signed a contract and later wanted to renege, Cedric couldn’t sue her.

“Of course I know. I lost my head for a moment, but isn’t that also your fault?”

If Natalie had actually agreed to give Cedric her eyes for Isabella…

Given how he had hurt her before, Natalie would have been the one to blame. No one in the world

would have sympathized with her.

It was her own foolishness for agreeing!

The two of them prepared a feast, cooking all the groceries Natalie had bought. They then celebrated

by eating and drinking heartily.

the dining room, Natalie sighed and said, it’s been a long time since I enjoyed a meal like

This statement was somewhat heartbreaking

Food was essential to life!

But since entering the Johnson Family, even eating had been a formalized, joyless affair. Food was

consumed more as an obligation than a pleasure.

Now, she had returned to being her free and independent self. She was no longer the Johnson Family’s

young mistress.

She didn’t need to be an exemplary wife for The Johnson Family anymore. Everything she did was

solely

on her behalf. The chains of her marriage had disappeared completely.

From now on, she was in control, and no one would dictate her life.

“Eat up,” Natalie said.

Bianca nodded and said, “You should eat too.”

The two of them shared a smile, both enjoying the long–lost feeling of relaxation.

At the hospital, Rebecca once again stood outside Isabella’s hospital room.

Her attitude today was completely different from before, like she had entered a different world.
