Chapter 47 Humble
After all, Angela was in a miserable state and couldn't come out for a while.
Gabriel looked at Natalie with deep eyes, his sharp features carrying a complex sense of inquiry. "Why didn't you tell me about how the Kensington family treated you?"
"What?" Natalie raised an eyebrow, her eyes indifferent, as if she didn't expect him to say that.
"Why did you never tell me?" If she had told him, he would have definitely stopped his family from treating her that way.
He definitely would have.
Gabriel's intense gaze firmly locked onto her, not wanting to miss any trace of emotion on her face.
Natalie laughed. "It's all in the past. We're divorced now, and I don't want to bring it up again."
What's the point of saying it anyway? They would only continue to humiliate her even more.
"Since we're divorced, let's talk about it. I need to know why we divorced for no reason," Gabriel suppressed the intense pounding in his chest and looked at her with deep eyes.
"For no reason?" Natalie tugged at the corner of her lips and repeated those words.
What a joke!
She suppressed the smile on her face and looked at him coldly. "Gabriel, in the three years we were together, did we ever meet in private? Did you ever give me a chance?"
Wasn't it him who silently condoned the mistreatment she received from others?
Every time they met, it was all about business. Alyssa was always brought up, and her name drove her crazy.
She suddenly remembered the time during their honeymoon when she didn't understand Gabriel's deliberate neglect. She really started to learn how to be a virtuous wife, cooking every day and waiting for him to come home, afraid of disturbing his work and even afraid to call him.
But he didn't come home for several days in a row, and she couldn't help but send him a text message asking if he wanted to try the dishes she made. She never received a reply.
Her countless attempts to test the waters and show goodwill were all ignored by him, making her feel completely humiliated and exhausted.
Later, when she became accustomed to being neglected, she realized that the new house was her own new house, without a male owner.
This marriage had its own purposes!
Now she was finally liberated!
But he insisted on an answer?
If he regarded her as his wife, his family, his friends, would he dare to openly mock her foolishness?
Wasn't Gabriel the one leading those who humiliated her?
His words pierced into his heart like needles, causing him pain. Gabriel frowned, "Actually, you had many opportunities to say..."
Was it her fault?
Natalie sneered.
But she no longer cared. She didn't need anyone's help. She endured because she fell in love with Gabriel. Now she couldn't endure anymore because she no longer loved Gabriel!
"Mr. Kensington, your eyes only see Alyssa. How can they accommodate any other woman? You even put your marriage at stake. I must admire that. But what's the use of saying all this now?"
"Well, Alyssa..." Gabriel frowned, wanting to explain Alyssa's situation to her, but Natalie coldly interrupted him.
"Enough, it's nauseating to hear about Alyssa. Mr. Kensington, let's pretend we don't know each other from now on."
After speaking, she walked away without even looking back, wearing her high-heeled shoes.
Her good mood was ruined. Natalie came out with a slightly darkened expression and happened to see Victor waiting for her after finishing his business.
When she heard others talking about the quarrel between Natalie and Angela earlier, Victor's expression didn't look good. He sighed in relief when he saw her coming out.
Natalie approached with a smile and playfully hung onto Victor's arm. "Is it over? Can we leave early? I'm so tired today."
Victor fondly pinched her nose. "If you're tired, let's go. Don't mind other people."
Natalie narrowed her eyes and smiled. It's always nice to have a big brother...
"Do we need to say goodbye?"
"No need, I've already said it earlier." Victor touched her head. "Let's go, the driver is waiting outside."
She agreed and walked out while holding Victor's arm. As a handsome couple, they were quite eye-catching.
Just as they stepped outside, Charlie caught up from behind. "Mr. Clark, mind if I join you?"
Natalie looked at Victor, who had a cold expression. He was always silent and serious in front of outsiders. "Mind. It's out of the way."
Charlie froze.
Natalie smiled and waved. "Goodbye, Charlie."
Charlie didn't dare to provoke Victor, so naturally, he didn't dare to approach again. He could only watch as the two got into the car. As soon as the side door closed, Charlie hurriedly went up and opened Natalie's door.
"What are you doing?" Natalie was startled.
Many people who were talking near the entrance were also watching the situation here. As an influential figure, Victor could not keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
Charlie half-knelt and carefully picked up Natalie's dress hem, which was stuck outside the car door, and put it inside the car. He looked up at Natalie with a smiling face and said, "Now it's okay, let's go."
It turned out that Natalie's dress hem was stuck outside the car door. Charlie deliberately went over to get it out. In the eyes of the people, his posture was truly humble.
The people on the balcony of the second-floor banquet hall saw this scene. Leo smiled and turned to Gabriel beside him, saying, "Charlie really knows how to chase women. He dares to flirt with Natalie right in front of Victor."
He implied that there might be some ambiguous relationship between Victor and Natalie.
Gabriel's gaze was faint. "Let's go, call a few friends and go for a drink..."
