Five Years Later, He Goes Wild for Her Again의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

Natalie slowly set down her fork. She guessed that there was no way for her to finish the rest of the food anymore.She grabbed a paper napkin and wiped her mouth with it. Then, she said in a cold, indifferent, and nonchalant tone, "I'm 27 years old this year. I'm not 17. Why do you think that I'm going to listen to you? Do you even know what human rights are?"Lara had come from a rural background in the village and received very little education. She was a very traditional and conservative woman raised under the old patriarchal social system with outdated beliefs that favored sons over daughters.Lara also believed that women should always listen to whatever their parents told them, support the men in the family, and be good housewives and mothers to them by being responsible for all the cooking, cleaning, and childbearing in the household. They were also responsible for maintaining family harmony, no matter what.In Lara's head, it was only right that a woman's parents decide wh

Natalie was momentarily dazed. Was Austin worried about her?However, no matter what the truth was, she couldn't bear to make him even more anxious and upset."I think you have the wrong idea. I just ran into my mom near the company. She pinned me to the ground and beat me up."Austin was shocked. He pried her hands away from her stomach and asked, "Is your lower abdomen hurt as well?"Natalie was a little speechless. She was obviously clutching her upper abdomen. Maybe he only misunderstood her because she was all curled up on the couch and looking disheveled."My stomach just hurts."Austin sighed lightly. He felt the weight on his chest lift as he relaxed a little. However, he was still worried about her."Did she hit your arm?""She pinched it," Natalie answered nonchalantly, closing her eyes to try and suppress the cramping sensation in her stomach. Her voice trembled as she continued, "Do you have any stomach medicine?""I do," Austin replied, getting up at once to fetch

Natalie went back to her room, showered, dried her hair, and stood by the window, gently lifting the curtain to look across the street.The lights were already out in Betty's apartment.Natalie's stomach was rumbling loudly with hunger, and she could also feel the pain vaguely coming back. With how things were going, she had to eat something before going to sleep that night. Otherwise, she was going to suffer from another round of stomach cramps.Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, followed by Austin's tender voice."Natalie? Have you gone to bed?"She felt her chest tighten as she went over to the door, answering through it, "Not yet.""I made supper. Do you want some?""What kind of supper?" Natalie asked, gulping and feeling the hunger getting worse."Beef congee."This was one of Natalie's favorite dishes, and she could feel herself drooling in an instant."Alright. I'll be out in a bit."She went back to her wardrobe, pulled on a thin cardigan, and walked o

"You've got some nerve, Natalie. Just you wait!" Emily exclaimed. Her face turned pale as she brandished her finger at Natalie's nose. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm telling Aust's parents about you living with him under the same roof! They will definitely do something about it!"Natalie didn't feel the least bit threatened by Emily's usual tattling threats. She simply watched Emily calmly, like she was watching a circus monkey perform.Emily was about to leave after that. However, Natalie stopped her."Wait a minute," she said, calling out to Emily.Emily immediately spun around and barked, "What else do you want from me!"Natalie pointed at the spilled soup and broken pot on the floor. "Clean this up before you go."Emily scoffed and folded her arms across her chest, facing Natalie head-on. She then said condescendingly, "Who the fuck do you think you are, Natalie? Who gave you the right to tell me what to do?"Natalie stood up and put her phone in her pocket, picked up

Natalie smiled bitterly, hesitating for a long time before deciding to leave the pomegranate on the bench. Then, she got up to leave."Natalie?" a surprised male voice called out.She turned around and immediately saw Zeke hurrying up to her enthusiastically with his dog on a leash. She stared at the huge, ugly pit bull next to him and took a few steps back in fear.Zeke knew that she was afraid of dogs and hurriedly stopped his pit bull from getting any closer. He stopped a small distance away from her and called out to her excitedly, "You're here looking for me, aren't you?""No.""Hestia's already married. And you don't know anybody else other than me in this neighborhood, do you?" Zeke replied confidently, slipping his hands into his pockets while still holding onto his dog's leash. He looked at her with a disdainful smirk."Just admit it, Natalie. You came here to look for me."It was so absurd and laughable, yet Natalie couldn't find it in herself to laugh. She just turned
