A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Natalie received the divorce agreement quickly.
She printed the agreement and signed her name on it without hesitation. Then, she took the agreement downstairs to find
Cedric.
She couldn’t find him. The maid said he had left from the backdoor. Natalie’s heart sank.
She had to divorce Cedric today; she couldn’t wait a moment longer.
She faxed the agreement to her company. When the secretary saw the header on the document, she stammered, “M-madam,
Mr. Johnson hasn’t arrived yet.”
“When he arrives at the company, have him sign it immediately. Ask him to bring the agreement to the clerk’s office once he’s
done. I’ll be there.”
“Y-yes, ma’am!”
Even through the phone line, Natalie could sense the secretary breaking into a cold sweat. She hung up the phone and went
upstairs to change her clothes.
Natalie looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn’t deny that she was beautiful, but...
It didn’t mean men would stay faithful just because a woman was beautiful!
As the saying goes, the grass was always greener on the other side!
–
After an appropriate amount of time had passed, Natalie drove to the clerk’s office. She waited for a full two hours. It was almost
closing time, but he still hadn’t shown up.
She took out her phone and video called Cedric.
It wasn’t until the very end that he finally picked up. Seeing the projection behind the man, she knew he was in a conference
room.

Natalie got straight to the point, not bothering to preserve his dignity, “I’ve been waiting for you at the clerk’s office for two hours.
Are you not satisfied with the terms of the divorce settlement?”
On the other end of the phone call, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly turned ice-cold.
All eyes around the long conference table were fixed on Cedric, who had a grave look on his face.
Natalie wanted a divorce?! And she wanted to divide their assets?
Just a glance at the man’s ice-cold eyes had everyone else immediately lowering their heads as if they hadn’t heard a thing.
But this news was truly explosive!
It left a thunderous mark on everyone’s mind.
“Take a thirty-minute break.” The man said and stood up, adjusting his tie with an air of irritation.
He looked like he was about to beat up the woman on the other side of the line.
As soon as he left the conference room, the room exploded into discussion.
“Mrs. Johnson actually asked for a divorce?”
“I didn’t expect such a gentle woman to blow up like this.”
“Isn’t that playing right into Ms. Morgan’s hands?”
–
The discussions in the conference room continued in hushed tones. Meanwhile, Natalie was growing impatient on the line with
Cedric.
“When are you coming?”
“Natalie!” Cedric gritted his teeth.
Natalie was fearless and continued, “Or should I bring a clerk to your office?”

She would do it if he wasn’t afraid to have his reputation shredded. In reality, she had already trampled on his pride with what
everyone had heard earlier.
Cedric sneered, “Ten minutes.”
“Alright. I’ve brought our marriage certificate with me,” Natalie replied.
Cedric hesitated but said nothing more.
Natalie hung up the video call, satisfied.
Staring at his phone’s blank screen, he angrily smashed it against the wall the next moment.
The man’s extraordinarily handsome face could not hide his rage.
He never thought Natalie would ask for a divorce. This woman had caused a scene in the morning.
And now this.
He felt like he was dealing with a bold, unpredictable animal.
–
On the other end of the phone, Natalie held the marriage certificate firmly in her hand. She was determined to go through with
the divorce.
When Cedric arrived, he saw the shining marriage certificate in her hand, and his anger flared even higher.
His calm features seemed slightly distorted from the irritation.
From early in the morning until now, he had been almost constantly angry.
–
Natalie saw him getting out of the car.
It was as if she were looking at a stranger. However, the next moment, the man she thought would enter the building to divorce
her suddenly lifted her onto his shoulder.

“Hey, you...”
She was stuffed into the car as if she were a bag of potatoes.
“Cedric Johnson! You shameless man!” Natalie tried to pull the car door open, but it was locked.
The man radiated coldness as he grabbed her ankle and forcefully pressed her onto the backseat.
The driver, seeing the situation, quickly fled the car.
Natalie struggled, “Let go of me, you... Ugh! It hurts!”
The pressure on her jaw made it hard for her to breathe.
