A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 30 Rebecca’s Arrogance

After returning home, Natalie received a call from Stephen. Natalie informed him that she would not be returning to Simeria for the time being, but would instead open a studio in her field of expertise. Stephen immediately promised to support her.

Throughout the years Natalie spent with Cedric, he had never allowed her to work, shaping her into a full- time housewife who had learned to endure and comply with everything. Her daily life revolved around managing in–law relationships and household chores.

Everyone envied her for marrying Cedric and living a life where she was pampered. However, only those who had actually experienced being a full–time housewife in a wealthy family knew how challenging it

could be. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

With Stephen’s support, her new venture would be much smoother.

When Bianca returned in the evening, she found Natalie earnestly sketching on a piece of paper while

holding her pig in one hand.

Bianca approached and smiled. “I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to survive after divorcing Cedric,

but it seems I was wrong.

Natalie glared at Bianca, not in the mood for her teasing. “Who in this world won’t be able to survive after

a divorce?”

It was as if she had become worthless after marrying Cedric. But in reality, Cedric had shaped her into someone who could do little more than please the Johnson family and attend to their needs!

However, now that she was on the verge of leaving him, her hand holding the paintbrush didn’t tremble.

“Fair point, but you’ve impressed me,” Blanca commented.

Natalie replied, “Dinner is ready. It’s in the pot.”

Bianca laughed. “Wow, you can cook for yourself now? Well done!”

Natalie felt a bitter pang in her heart. “I was not entirely useless in the Johnson family, you know.”

When Rebecca wasn’t around, Natalie had an easier time. However, every time she returned to Johnson Manor, she wished she could hide in the kitchen.

While putting down her bag and changing her clothes, Blanca said, “If you need support, let me know. have resources. Money, clients, you name it, I have it.”

Natalie’s grip on the paintbrush tightened, and she looked at Bianca with gratitude.

Bia, I might not be able to make it without you.”

Having Bianca by her side made it more bearable.

The current public opinion in Verde City hadn’t significantly affected her, but her dispute with Cedric

remained a thom in her heart.

At the hospital, Rebecca had awakened. Isabella and Christina were with her. Cedric was there too.

Rebecca sat propped up on the hospital bed and glanced at Isabella.

“Have this woman leave.” Rebecca’s tone wasn’t very pleasant.

However, she tried her best to maintain her composure in front of outsiders.

Isabella’s expression changed slightly. When she turned her head to look at Cedric, her bandaged eyes. couldn’t hide the hurt on her face. She had been coming here when Rebecca was still unconscious.

Who knew Rebecca would wake up so soon? Her current attitude made it clear that she looked down on her!

Cedric’s expression also changed slightly. “Yuvan.”

“Yes, Mr. Johnson.”

“Take Ms. Morgan back to her hospital room first.”

“Of course. Ms. Morgan, please allow me to assist you,” Yuvan said respectfully, pushing Isabella’s wheelchair.

She responded in a respectful tone that couldn’t conceal her grief.

In times like these, men’s protective instincts are usually triggered. When Cedric looked at Rebecca, his eyes dimmed further.

After Yuvan took Isabella away, Christina approached her brother.

“Ced, Mom just woke up. Let’s talk to her calmly. She can’t handle any stress right now.”

When Cedric heard Christina’s words, the initial coldness in his eyes subsided a bit. But Rebecca was a different story!

With all that had happened, Rebecca felt like she had a lump in her chest. Unless she released her pent–up

In a stern tone, she said, “Jocelyn is coming back on the twenty–fifth of this month. You and Natalie should hurry up and get a divorce. You should also break it off with that other woman.”

She couldn’t stand Natalie, but she was also unimpressed by Isabella. Regardless of whatever happened with Isabella previously, her current condition was far worse than Natalie’s. Of course, after all the chaos Natalie had caused in the Johnson family over the past few months, there was no way Rebecca would

tolerate her either.

Cedric and Christina both seemed to react with gloom when they heard that Jocelyn Lambert was

returning.

In the past, Cedric wouldn’t have reacted kindly.

But now, instead of expressing his displeasure, he simply said, “Get some rest.”

However, Rebecca was not satisfied with his response.

As Cedric turned to leave, she exploded, “Cedric! I may not like Natalie, but do you have to choose a

woman who is even worse than her? It’s one after another! What’s wrong with you?!”

Natalie was already bad enough, and Isabella couldn’t even compare to her! How bad did that make the.

latter?

The more Rebecca thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn’t understand how she ended up with a son like him. While she spoke, Cedric remained composed. He didn’t turn back and simply left, leaving a fuming Rebecca behind.

Christina stepped forward, trying to calm the older woman. “Mom, the doctors said you can’t get angry.”

“I know! But just look at him!” Rebecca said, her elegant face distorted in anger.

Christina replied, “Okay, calm down. Natalie has caused so much trouble recently. It’s been tough on Ced.” Rebecca got even angrier when Christina mentioned Natalie, and her face twisted into an ugly expression. “That woman got together with a man who’s old enough to be her father! Why can’t Ced just let her go?! Especially since Natalie was the one who initiated the divorce. They were still together after all the commotion over the last few months!

Rebecca was increasingly unable to understand her son. She couldn’t comprehend why he was reluctant to part ways with Natalie, while getting involved with another woman What kind of son had she raised?!

In the past, she believed Natalie wasn’t a good match for her son. However, she wasn’t happy with her.

When things between him and Isabella first came to light, she had secretly reprimanded Cedric, Rebecca couldn’t approve of her son having extramarital affairs while still being married to Natalie.

But now, she couldn’t make sense of anything at all!

On the other side, Isabella had been wheeled into her hospital room, and Cedric came to visit her. Yuvan remained outside, leaving only Cedric and Isabella in the room.

Isabella fumbled for something, but she ended up knocking over a glass on the cabinet. The loud, heartbreaking sound echoed through the room.

Cedric’s cold expression softened as he approached. “What do you need? I can help.”

“I want some water.”

“Okay.”

As the cup she had intended to use had shattered, Cedric fetched a disposable cup and poured some

water.

“Be careful,” he said as he handed the cup to her cautiously.

Isabella took the cup and downed it quickly. It was clear she had finished her previous cup due to how nervous she had been.

Cedric watched her and advised, “Don’t go to that hospital room in the future.”

He was referring to Rebecca’s room. She was his mother, and Cedric knew her well. He knew she didn’t get along with Natalie.

However, he and Natalie were married. On the other hand, there were rumors that Isabella was having an affair with Cedric. So, it was only natural that Rebecca wouldn’t be pleased when Isabella visited
