Given the current tricky situation with Brandon, Natalie couldnât just go back to work.She needed to stay in Seacisco until she figured out what was going on with him, so she decided to stay in the same hotel as her parents.
Johanna and Beal stuck by her side.Early the following morning, Garrett arrived with breakfast.
âJudging from how upset you sounded last night, I assume youâre probably not in the mood for breakfast, so I got you some good stuff.Come on.I brought sausages, bacon, toast, donuts, sandwiches, and coffee.There must be something youâd want to eat.â
In fact, he had long felt that something was wrong with Brandon.
After receiving Natalieâs call last night, now more than ever he was certain that something was amiss. Besides Garrett, Tiffany also came.She was a workaholic, but she actually took that day off for the sake of checking on Natalie.
âNo wonder you were so pale yesterday we met.Why didnât you tell me sooner?â Tiffany patted Natalieâs shoulder with a pout.
âArenât we supposed to be friends?â
Two important figures who were closely related to the Larson Group and its CEO were present.
However, Natalie still had no idea what to do next.
âI donât want to keep you away from work, but I couldnât do this on my own.Brandonâs cold and unapproachable now.Heâs completely devoted to his work and the company.! canât even see him, let alone talk to him properly.â
Tiffany rested her chin on her hand and mused, âMr.Larson has indeed been very busy since he came back.Itâs really hard to find an opportunity to sit down with him.â
Athought suddenly occurred to Garrett.He warned Natalie, âDonât hover around Brandon.He hates that kind of thing the most.When we were still in school, many girls chased after him like this, and it really pissed him off!â
Natalie was at the end of her rope.
Exhausted and at witâs end, she lay in bed with a heavy sigh.She had to come up with a way to get close to Brandon.
Since it was useless to try to talk to him, perhaps she should adopt something more direct.
Suddenly, Natalie got up from the bed.
There was fierce determination in her eyes and she seemed to have the will to fight again.
âIâm going to see Brandon.â Brandon saw the woman standing outside his office.
There was an unyielding look in her bright eyes.This upset him a little. He didnât expect that Natalie would come to him again.
âMiss White, whatâre you doing here? I thought I made myself clear.â Brandon looked at Natalie coldly.
âWe still need to talk, Brandon.We...Has there been any misunderstanding between us?â.
Natalie tried to speak in a soft, gentle voice.But as she looked into the pair of cold eyes in front of her, she couldnât help but feel torn-up inside.
Brandon became more annoyed.
Natalie would become detrimental to his work if she continued to pester him like this.
Indeed, Charis had told him before that Natalie was a clingy woman.
At first, he didnât take her seriously.But now he realized that what Charis said was right.
âMiss White, thereâs nothing I have to say to you.Donât waste my time.If you come back here and make trouble out of nothing one more time, donât blame me for being rude.â Brandonâs expression darkened.
This time, he didnât even invite Natalie to talk in his office.
Just then, Charis heard the commotion and came out of his office.She asked with a gentle smile, âWhat happened? Why are you so worked up?â.
Lately, she had been playing the role of Brandonâs competent assistant who devoted herself to work.She was not in a hurry to develop a deeper relationship with Brandon.
The most important thing right now was to make sure he trusted her.
Seeing the unfriendly look on Brandonâs face, Charis realized what was going on.She turned to look at Natalie and smiled apologetically, âMiss White, please forgive Mr.Larson.Heâs very busy and doesnât even have the time to sleepâhence the bad temper.â
Natalieâs face turned purple from anger.
Of course, she could tell that Charis was only stirring up trouble.
Compared to Charis, who seemed to be considerate, Natalie looked like an unreasonable shrew who kept pestering Brandon.The winner was obvious.
Without saying anything more, Brandon turned around to leave.Charis looked at Natalie with a smug smile.
Then she also turned around and followed Brandon.
Just then, Natalieâs cold voice sounded from behind them.
âBrandon, I need to talk to you for the last time.If you donât agree, then letâs get a divorce.Anyway, a marriage without trust is meaningless.â
The last shred of hope in Natalieâs heart disappeared.
Charis kept making things difficult for her.
Natalie knew that itâd be impossible to curry Brandonâs favor by playing an affectionate wife So Natalie was going to deal with this matter in the way that Brandon liked most in a businesslike, professional manner.
Her firm words seemed to finally get to Brandon.His tall, burly figure suddenly stiffened.
At present, the Larson Group was growing stronger and stronger.
Divorce would be an unwise move at this time.
If the divorce pushed through, Natalie would get tons of his assets in alimony.
Brandon turned around and looked at Natalie in unmasked surprise.
There was finally a trace of emotion in his usually cold eyes.He had never considered divorcing Natalie.
And according to Charis, Natalie was completely obsessed with him.
Wasnât it out of character for her to ask for a divorce then? With one hand in his pocket, Brandon narrowed his eyes at Natalie and finally asked, âWhat do you want?â
Natalieâs expression darkened.
âIâve told you countless times.AII I want is to be able to talk to you.Mr.Larson, since you are so busy every single day, I donât know when youâll be available to talk.I donât mind making an appointment to fit your schedule, but I only have one request: we need to have enough time to talk.â
Natalie glanced at Charis, who was standing near Brandon, and added sarcastically, âIf you leave in the middle of our conversation because of some âemergencyâ again, Iâll divorce you on the spot.â
What a cold tone! Brandon couldnât help but look Natalie up and down a few more times.lt seemed that he had never looked at her this seriously before.
The woman in front of him had a pair of fiercely determined eyes.She wasnât that tall, nor was she stunning at first sight, but she was still pretty.
And she had this magic charm of her that once you set eyes on her, it would be hard to take your eyes off of her.
An indescribable emotion suddenly emerged at the bottom of Brandonâs heart..
Why did this woman insist on having a talk with him? Did they really love each other deeply before? If that was the case, how could he have just forgotten her completely? Something seemed to spark within Brandonâs heart, but the complex emotion died.
down as soon as it came.
He couldnât even understand why he had such a strange feeling for Natalie.He thought for a while and then said, âIâll ask my assistant to keep my whole morning open tomorrow.â.
Natalie nodded.
âOkay.â.
After saying that, she turned around and left without hesitation.
The following morning, Natalie, Beal, and Johanna all came to Larson Group.
At first, Natalie didnât want her parents to come with her, but Beal and Johanna were worried that Natalie would be bullied if she went to see Brandon alone, so they insisted on coming together with her.
The three sat opposite Brandon in a negotiating manner..
Natalie spoke up first, her tone unhurried.
âYou said that you would fulfill your duty as a husband, but you only care about work. You even moved to the hotel near the company. You turn a blind eye to me and even refuse to talk with me.You completely ignore me as your wife.ls this what you mean by âdutyâ?â
Brandon answered calmly, âIâve always put work first.For me, love isââ
Before he could finish his sentence, Natalie interrupted him.
âDonât talk nonsense with me,â Natalie pulled a long face and said firmly.
âDonât tell me that work is more important.Before this, even if you were extremely busy, you would always spare time for me.But now, youâve been so cold to me. Youâre practically begging me to divorce you, arenât you? Brandon, let me tell you this: if I divorce you, I promise I wonât be merciful.Donât forget that I have the support of the White family now.My parents are no weaker than you.They will support whatever decision I make.We didnât sign any prenup before we got married, will use all means to get as much property from you as possible if we are to get divorced.When that happens, do you think youâll still be able to strengthen the Larson Group smoothly as planned?
Natalie had a fierce, almost aggressive air about her as she spoke.noveloz com lt surprised Brandon enough that he unconsciously squared his shoulders.
Johanna didnât expect her daughter to straight-up ask for a divorce.But it wasnât an entirely bad idea, seeing as how indifferent Brandon was to her.
At his current state, the man didnât deserve Natalie at all.
âThis time, itâs all your fault,â Johanna commented.
âYouâve been ignoring your wife all this time.She has a perfectly healthy husband, but she is forced to live the life of a widow.Let me make things clear for you, Brandon.If you and my daughter get a divorce, the Larson Group will be regarded as an enemy of the White family.The decision is yours.I suggest you think about it very carefully.â
âNatalie,â Beal interjected in a quiet but serious tone, âif you really want a divorce, Iâll call our family lawyer over.He can be here by tomorrow.â
Brandon lowered his eyes.
With Bealâs words, he could tell that the couple were willing to support Natalieâs pursuit of a divorce.lt was no mere threat.
However, the White family was a formidable force in Barnes.
