Love after Betrayal (Casper and Natalie) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Natalie was in the guest bedroom upstairs, where she had moved to since Casper regained consciousness.

What an *sshole Casper is! He’s a madman, and so are his friends! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been targeted and had my old wounds reopened.

Her eyes reddened as she felt hurt, and the tears she had held back for a long time fell silently.

Over the past few days, she had been busy reading documents about the company.

Today was the anniversary of her mother’s death, so she was in low spirits in the first place, only to be targeted without rhyme or reason because of Casper.

After crying for a while, she took a hot shower and changed into a set of clean clothes.

She hadn’t eaten well over the past few days, and she had been angry just now, so she was having stomach cramps at the moment.

Now that she was pregnant, she couldn’t let anything happen to her, so she decided to go downstairs and get something to eat.

… When she came downstairs, she was surprised to find that Casper was in the living room.

He was talking to someone over the phone; it seemed that he was dealing with something.

However, the sight of him made her feel uncomfortable, and she turned around to go upstairs.

Mrs. Jenkins came over and stopped her.

“You must be hungry, Madam.

I just made some chicken noodle soup, so come over and have some.”

It was Casper who had wanted to eat chicken noodle soup, but after it was ready, he suddenly said that he didn’t feel like eating it anymore.

When Mrs. Jenkins saw Natalie, she thought that the latter must’ve not eaten anything tonight, and it’d be wasteful to dump the chicken noodle soup.

Natalie hesitated for a moment.

Just then, her stomach growled untimely, causing her to blush with embarrassment.

Fearing that she would feel embarrassed, Mrs. Jenkins hurriedly dragged her to the dining table.

The chicken noodle soup was lightly seasoned, and Natalie didn’t feel queasy upon smelling it.

After eating a few mouthfuls of it, she finally remembered to thank Mrs. Jenkins.

“Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins.”

Casper hung up the phone on the sofa, only to hear Natalie thanking Mrs. Jenkins.

When he heard that, he knitted his brows slightly and turned to look at her in displeasure.

The chicken noodle soup is mine; it’s just that I don’t want to eat it anymore.

Doesn’t this damn woman know that she’s currently living in my house and that I’m the person she’s supposed to thank? He wasn’t an immature person, but he took this issue to heart.

Wheeling himself into the dining room, he said, “Did no one tell you that everything in this house is mine? Don’t thank the wrong person.”

Natalie instantly lost her appetite.

Did he come here just to tell me that I should’ve thanked him? Her lips curled into a sneer.

“Yeah, that’s right.

This is your house, so should I thank you for being targeted by someone else?”
