Chapter 50

Natalie stood frozen, her gaze fixed on Roger's sickly, pale face. She said nothing. "Why are you here? I don't want you here. Ms. Chapman takes care of me just fine. You divorced Daddy. Stop clinging to us," Roger spat, his tone dripping with disdain. Natalie's heart clenched for a fleeting moment, only to harden again. This boy wasn't hers—he belonged to Imogen. To Natalie, Roger might as well be dead. Her only child was Sarah. "Regretting the divorce, Natalie?" Imogen sneered, her voice sharp and theatrical for Rowan and Roger's benefit. "Trying to use Roger's illness to win favor? Stop dreaming. Next week, the divorce will be finalized. You and Rowan stopped being husband and wife long ago." "Don't be late next week," Natalie replied coolly before stepping into the lift bound for the health screening center. That afternoon, Natalie officially joined Lumiere after submitting her health examination results. Henry Hodges, the design director, personally escorted her to her desk.
