Chapter 138 She was my wife
Natalie tilted her gaze towards him, the smile that used to be on her lips now completely worn out, replaced by an indifferent look in her eyes.
Julian felt a sudden prick from the gaze of Natalie.
Why was her expression so cold now…?
In the past, Natalie always looked at him with a smile… even when she didn’t smile, she was mostly gentle and considerate.
Lily once told him that Madam is a well-known beauty in the wealthy circles of Los Angeles, like a fairy in the sky. And her temperament is good too, never harsh on anyone, never blaming the servants. Many other families envy the servants of the Graham family.
But this cold gaze now… made Julian feel uneasy.
An unfamiliar emotion surged in his mind… he couldn’t describe whether it was discomfort or regret… Julian couldn’t quite pinpoint the feeling.
But there was one thing he knew for sure.
He disliked this kind of emotional turmoil.
And he hated being swayed by his emotions.
“Do you have anything else to say?” Natalie looked at him coldly, her tone flat.
For some reason, Julian suddenly remembered the moments he had spent with Natalie before.
Flashes of memories rushed through his mind-one by one. She would give him a blanket; wake up early to make him breakfast; whenever he came home, the dishes on the table were always his favorites. Whenever they attended various banquets, Natalie always stood elegantly and appropriately to his left. That’s why everyone in the upper-class society spoke highly of her….
Although she did all this for him, he never reciprocated her feelings. He even treated her with coldness and indifference…
As Julian reached this point in his thoughts, his thin lips tightened, forming a slight curve. But before he could speak, a voice interrupted.
“President Graham, do you still have something to attend to?”
Jerry saw Julian holding onto Natalie and quickly approached furrowed brows, wanting to pull Natalie away from Julian. “If there’s nothing, we’ll leave. We won’t intrude any longer.”
Julian snapped back to reality. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
He stared at Jerry, still not letting go. After a moment, he spoke, “What’s the matter to you if I’m talking to my wife?”
His words carried a chilling coldness.
Jerry raised an eyebrow, unwilling to back down. “Now you remember that Miss Spears is your wife? Why didn’t you think of that when you falsely accused her just now?”
Jerry grabbed Natalie’s other hand. “Let’s go.”
Natalie was forcibly pulled forward by Jerry, but Julian didn’t let go at all.
She stumbled half a step due to the inertia.
“Julian, if you have something to say, say it directly. What’s the point of pulling and pushing here?” Natalie’s
impatience had reached its peak at this moment.
Jerry sensed Natalie’s stumble and quickly let go, saying. “Miss Spears, I’m sorry.”
Natalie nodded slightly, shook her head gently, and said, “It’s fine.”
She looked at Julian and asked, “Can’t you see? Jerry has already let go. What are you doing?”
“Are you afraid of your White Moonlight causing a scene with you?” Natalie’s words carried a sarcastic tone.
Niki stood by, watching Julian tightly holding Natalie’s hand, her teeth almost grinding to pieces. However, seeing the expression on Julian’s face, she dared not speak.
Now that Natalie had mentioned her, she couldn’t hold back any longer. “What do you mean?”
“Do you think I’m as petty as you? Brother Julian can do whatever he wants, and I never interfere.”
Niki replied, her tone resentful and almost through gritted teeth. Natalie was so far away, yet she could almost hear her teeth chattering.
Natalie smirked, “Such non-interference.”
She turned her head to Julian and spoke with determination, “Let go!”
Julian finally released his grip.
Natalie lowered her head to straighten her clothes, then looked up at the man, calling out his name, “Julian.”
Julian lowered his gaze.
Niki clenched her teeth again. What was this fox spirit, Natalie, up to? She had just asked Julian to let go, and now she was calling his name so affectionately!
A cunning fox spirit!
Natalie stood tall, speaking with a firm voice, “Julian, we
divorced, aren’t we?”
Julian’s eyes darkened at her words, his expression inscrutable, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
“I hope you’ll be more mindful in the future, or else I’ll think the mighty President Graham is quite cheap.”
Natalie said and walked away from the private room without looking back.
The sound of her high heels echoed on the floor, resolute and stubborn.
“You’re the cheap one!” Niki shouted after Natalie. How dare a powerless and poor girl like her speak to
Julian like that?
Jerry glanced at Julian deeply, then hurriedly followed Natalie, saying.
“Miss Spears, wait for me,” as he chased after her.
The two figures disappeared one after the other from sight.
Though the two figures had clearly gone far, Julian still stood in place with a cold expression, his gaze fixed
ahead, lost in his thoughts.
“Brother Julian! Natalie has already left. Why are you still looking at her?” Niki spoke while holding Julian’s
arm, her voice soft and tender.
“You keep staring like that, and Niki will definitely get jealous!” She blinked her big eyes, on the verge of overflowing with a playful expression.
Julian averted his gaze.
“Brother Julian, what were you talking about in there?” Although she had been eavesdropping at the door for
a while, the Sunny Restaurant’s door was soundproofed so well that she could barely hear anything, just a
few sporadic sentences.
The problem was that these sporadic words were irrelevant, to the point that Niki still had no clear idea of
Natalie’s true identity. “Is Natalie really Dr. Nancy?”
“No.”
Niki raised her eyebrows in pleasant surprise. She knew that Natalie couldn’t possibly be Dr. Nancy! Then she
suddenly remembered Natalie’s demeanor earlier and felt a surge of anger. What was she trying to prove?
“She is Dr. Nancy’s assistant,” Julian’s voice came again, but this time it caused Niki’s mood to plummet rapidly. Her previously jubilant mood instantly hit rock bottom.
She is Dr. Nancy’s assistant?!
How is that possible?!
“Brother Julian, are you sure?” Niki clearly didn’t believe it, her voice trembling.
How could it be possible? She didn’t believe it!
“Natalie must be deceiving you! Brother Julian, don’t let her fool you. She just wants you to think highly of her,
to change your mind.” Niki continued.
“Brother Julian, don’t let her deceive you!”
On ordinary days, Nikl’s eyes sparkled, with a slight twinkle at the corners, and a shallow smile would emerge
from her eyes. That pure smile made one feel that the stars in the sky paled in comparison to her smile.
But at this moment, Julian found Niki’s presence rather glaring.
Get Boyus
Niki continued to babble incessantly.
Julian frowned, “Enough!” He had never found Niki so noisy before.
Niki was startled by his shout. She looked up at Julian in disbelief, “Brother Julian, I’m doing all this for your own good, you…”
“Shut up!
