Chapter 39
Everyone looked at Natalie with a strange look.
In the past, every time Calvin worked overtime, Natalie would ask Zoey to prepare a midnight snack and deliver it to him in person. Therefore, she had always been seen as very gentle in everyoneâs heart.
But now⦠In the office, Calvin impatiently tugged at his tie and sat down opposite Natalie. He picked up the water in front of him and took a big gulp.
He put down the glass with a bit of force. âMove back to Autumnhall Residence. Thatâs your home.
Tm doing fine living with Brianna.â
âSqueezing into a tiny house with only 753 square feet? Are you really used to it?â Calvinâs tone grew colder.
Natalie looked at him with no warmth in her eyes.
and a living room.
It was true that Briannaâs apartment was not big. It was just around 753 square feet with two bedrooms:
Of course, people who were used to living in a big house would only feel that everything was tiny.
Natalie closed her eyes briefly and said, âYes, over these years, youâve provided me with a good life where there was the best food, shelter, and clothing.â
She was silent for a moment before continuing, âBut now, even though I should take a shower standing under the shower, change in the bedroom, and have a simple breakfast with milk and cookies, I feel really comfortable.â
âYou!â Calvin growled with anger.
Natalie added, âYes, everything in your world is great, but have you ever asked me? Am I truly comfortable by
y your side?â
Calvin was speechless.
âOr do you think I wonât be hurt when you try to take my retina away for another woman out there? Am I your little pet?â Natalie asked. âOnly the pet is heartless!â
Natalie practically roared the last sentence.
Calvin was instantly stunned.
Hej
just stared at Natalie. It was the first time she had spoken about their life all these years in front of him.
Not waiting for Calvin to respond, Natalie continued, âThe three years of marriage with you have been the most miserable of my life. Yes, youâve provided me with the most materialistic life, but by your side, Iâve constantly faced judgmental eyes, and Iâve endured pressure that was never meant for me.â
The atmosphere fell silent.
Natalie went on, âIâm not your pet, and simply being comfortable isnât sufficient. Iâve had enough of being with you. When youâre ready, sign the papers, so I can be free of this has sle.â
After saying that, Natalie stood up and walked out with her bag.
Calvin was furious.
âYou really wantto leave me?â

Chapter 39
âYes!â
âIs it
it because of that man?â
âYes!
Calvin was speechless, exuding an icy demeanor.
That aura enveloped Natalie.
However, at this moment, she felt no fear whatsoever. She stood in direct opposition to him.
Calvin looked at her petite figure and wanted to say something to make her stay, but as the words reached his l*ps, he said, âUncomfortable with me, but a few hundred dollars from a job outside will bring you comfort?â
What he meant was that she couldnât even afford to rent a house without him.
How could someone who couldnât even support themselves seek comfort?
Natalie turned back with a cold look in her eyes.
It turned out that the judgments from others about her werenât unfounded. They all said she was just a full-time housewife who depended on her husband.
At that time, she didnât bother about it.
But now, she realized that maybe Calvin had also viewed her in the same way as those people.
A smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
âThank you for taking care of me all these years, but I think⦠I can also do well without you.â After saying that, Natalie turned around and left before Calvin could react..
âSo, this is how he sees me⦠she thought.
Natalie left.
Calvin was alone in the office. Crash! He swept the cup on the coffee table and smashed it on the ground.
He said inwardly, âDa mn it! What was I saying just now?
I must have lost my mind because of Natalie!â
He was echoing Natalieâs words, and he had never thought of her that way before. He had even felt a sense of achievement in taking good care of her.
âDa mn it. I must be crazy!â he cursed. He had initially planned to coax her into returning to Autumnhall Residence.
The situation was getting worse now.
During this period, Natalie had been making a fuss. All in all, Calvin still believed that it was Yvetteâs matter that had made Natalie angry.
This time was different from before. She wouldnât calm down on her own. He had to coax her.
Therefore, it was best not to mention the retinal implant now.
Coming out of Calvinâs office, Queenie was waiting for Natalie in the car.

Chapter 39
On the way to meet the client, Natalie pondered for a moment and then asked Queenie, âDo you think he will interfere with what Iâm doing now?â
She was well aware of Calvinâs/influence in Quadfield.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have found Brianna so easily yesterday. She just wanted to start her own life.
But now, with her divorce dispute with him, she was clearly pushing his limits. She was worried he might cause trouble for
her.
However, Queenie said, âMr. Jensen also thought of it. So, those clients he chose for you now have some connections with him. Donât worry.â
Then, do they know my relationship with Uncle Xavier?â
âI donât know. But Mr. Jensen has spoken to them to take good care of you.â
Natalie was relieved.
However, in an instant, her heart leaped into her throat again.
She had just had some unfavorable rumors about Xavier, and now, all these companies were receiving calls to take good
care of her.
Quadfield wasnât that big, and there were some connections between companies. Without a doubt, the news would quickly
reach Calvinâs side.
This bothered her.
Even before it started, she could already imagine the explosive scene.
She felt pain in her head.
Natalie met two clients, and everything went well. They agreed to let her do the design draft and asked her not to rush.
The following day, the client she met was a tough one.
One of the two largest office buildings in Quadfield was the Majestic Global. Calvinâs office building was there, occupying the entire building.
Another one was the Quadfield International Financial Center, which also occupied the whole building. These two office buildings were landmarks of Quadfield.
Companies that could have offices there were undoubtedly significant. Natalie didnât expect Xavier to give her such a big client directly.
âDonât worry. Mr. Foster is Mr. Jensenâs student. Heâll give you the opportunity.â
Queenie reassured Natalie as she noticed her nervousness.
After all, she was currently running a small studio. If she could secure this project, she could comfortably sustain herself for Two to three years.
In addition, for a big company like this, there was no doubt they wouldnât easily favor personal connections over business ethics. It was strictly prohibited.
âOkay.â Natalie nodded, although she was still nervous.

They reached the reception counter and talked to a receptionist.
After hearing Queenieâs intention, the receptionist said respectfully. âMr. Wright has already informed me that youâre coming. You can go straight up. Mr. Foster is currently in a meeting. You may need to wait for a while.â
Itâs okay. We can wait, Queenie responded politely.
They were taken to the elevator dedicated to the top management. After swiping a card, it took them directly to the top
floor.
Inside the elevator, Queenie noticed that Natalie was still nervous, so she helped straighten out her formal attire and said, âAlthough you dislike it, remember, youâre the lady of the Jeffords family. Itâs not a big deal.
