Our Relationship Died When My Mom Did Chapter 13
Erik's lips twitched. He was the one who currently held the VP position.Just as the standstill grew tenser, a timid female voice came from the entrance."Is this where Robert Harmon works?"The instant I heard that voice, I rushed straight for the entrance.It was Sophie's voice! Why had she flown all the way here?I found her slowly making her way inside, her belly unmistakably showing beneath her maternity dress.My heart skipped a beat as I hurried over to support her. "Slow down, Sophie. What are you doing here?"Natalie was utterly dumbfounded. In fact, the entire office was completely stunned. Some of them caught on quickly and immediately started showering me with compliments."Mr. Harmon, I had no idea you were already married and with a baby on the way, too! You're living the dream, man! We're all jealous!""Exactly! Your wife is gorgeous, Mr. Harmon! You're one lucky man."Sophie's ears turned bright red. She lowered her head shyly and squeezed my hand."I wanted

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind me.Natalie came running up, breathing heavily. When she saw me, she slowed down and smiled, looking almost proud of herself."I knew you'd be here, Robert."She pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the dust from Mom's tombstone with practiced ease.I blinked, asking, "Have you been taking care of my mom's grave all these years?"She lowered her eyes, her long, thick lashes hiding her expression."I heard about what happened to your mother from the townspeople," she said quietly. "I'm sorry. I know you were hurt, and it was understandable that you were so sad that you wanted to get away from me."Contrary to what she'd come up with in her head, I honestly hadn't taken the overseas assignment just to escape her."Thank you. But I didn't take the overseas assignment because of you," I said frankly. "I did it for myself, for my youth, and for all the hard work I'd put in."She suddenly threw herself into my arms, wrapping both arms tightly around

Since I was in a great mood, I casually said to Natalie, "Congratulations, Ms. Crenshaw."But all of a sudden, she slammed on the brakes, and I lurched forward. Thankfully, I managed to catch myself with my hands.Before I could ask what happened, she turned around and glared at me, looking absolutely livid.Erik's gaze flicked between us for a second before he chimed in."Robert, why are you being so formal? Don't tell me you're still mad because Nat and I are close? She's missed you so much these past few years. She even deliberately added overseas business trips to her schedule just so she could—""Erik! Why are you telling him that?" Natalie cut him off, though her words were clearly directed at me. "Some people are just completely heartless. They're still jealous over the smallest things that happened years ago. How petty."Huh? Who was jealous? Me?While I was still out of sorts, Erik seized the opportunity to ask, "Robert, you must've been pretty popular overseas, right?"

Once I officially started working, I felt completely at ease—both physically and mentally.There was no one trying to trip me up or deliberately make things difficult for me. It felt incredible. As long as I put in the effort, I would actually see tangible results.After just one month, I was promoted to an executive role. That was a position I hadn't been able to reach in the ten years I'd worked back home, despite submitting five promotion requests.Meanwhile, Natalie was frequently making the news headlines.Of course, she and Erik still came as a pair. The two of them attended all kinds of events as husband and wife, openly showing off their affection and earning praise from everyone as a match made in heaven.It seemed Natalie had finally figured things out and realized that Erik was the person she'd truly loved all along.That was for the best.Seeing the two of them being affectionate with each other didn't stir anything inside me anymore. I was completely at peace.Just

LeAnn had arrived with Erik in tow to drag Natalie back.At the sight of her stern mother, fear instantly filled Natalie's eyes, and she immediately let go of my suitcase.I sneered inwardly. Now that was the Natalie I knew.Before LeAnn could say a word, she swallowed hard and instinctively backed away from me. She kept looking back as she walked away. Then, all of a sudden, she stopped and said firmly, "Robert, I'll wait for you. It's only a three-year overseas assignment. I'll wait for you at home!"I only found the whole thing utterly ironic and couldn't even be bothered to spare her a glance.Did I ever say I wanted her to wait?Besides, she clearly still hadn't realized that I had already cleared out all my things from the house. There wasn't a trace of my existence left behind.My home had vanished the day Mom passed away.I turned around, boarded my flight, and never looked back.…After landing, I went to grab dinner with Lucas Winter, the colleague who had come to

Natalie was 30 years old, but because of how her family had coddled and spoiled her, she still acted like a child. She believed that as long as she cried and apologized, everyone in the world would forgive her.The old me was happy to see her mature at her own pace. I wanted her to stay carefree forever. But the current me was just utterly disappointed.She had come all this way and pleaded with me, not because she loved me, but because she was afraid of losing an obedient, well-behaved toy.But the world wasn't just going to bend to her whims. It was time for her to grow up.I looked at her, my gaze utterly calm."Go home. Stop joking around. You worked very hard over the past ten years just to make sure you can inherit the company. Now that it's practically within your grasp, you're telling me you'll just give it up?"The adrenaline rush that had pushed her to chase me down began to wear off. Her grip on the suitcase handle tightened, and she pressed her lips together, looking
