Isaac Vaughn suddenly felt a pang of panic!
Realizing it, he tightly gripped Natalie Kendall’s arm, trembling with effort.
Natalie’s gaze fell on his hand and then followed it to his face.
His complexion was pale, as if he was having trouble catching his breath.
"Little Ear, can you not treat like this?"
To be honest, Natalie couldn’t understand Isaac.
Hadn’t they already laid everything on the table?
His manipulation of her had already beco blatantly obvious.
So why did he still persist in pretending, acting as if he truly loved her?
Did he think she was that foolish?
That she would still believe it?
"Little Ear, I’m sincere."
If he could, Isaac was willing to cut open his heart to show her.
But perhaps even if he did, she would only see it as a piece of rotten flesh and toss it into the trash without a second glance.
He deserved all of this.
Natalie looked at Isaac.
Her eyes showed no trace of emotion.
He was finally tasting the flavor of karma.
Before, she couldn’t hear his lies, and now she couldn’t hear his love.
She pulled her arm away from Isaac and started to leave.
As soon as she reached the living room, Isaac hugged her from behind.
He wrapped his arms around Natalie’s slender waist, his palms overlapping on her belly, breathing close to her ear, his face gradually burying into her neck.
His hot breaths puffed rhythmically against her shoulder and neck, pressing against her artery.
She was locked in his embrace, like being trapped in a cage she couldn’t escape.
"Isaac." Natalie called his na coldly, the tone not just cold but also annoyed.
Isaac gritted his teeth: "Little Ear, I love you, I really love you."
"Do you?"
With just those light words, Natalie shattered him completely.
"Isaac, you are so shaless. When we were together, you only wanted to use to get what you wanted. Now you’ve succeeded, you’ve gotten it, yet you still won’t let go. Why should I want soone like you?"
"I don’t want it."
"This version of you, I don’t want at all."
"Even if there wasn’t another soul in this world who loved , I wouldn’t want soone like you to love ."
"Please, don’t love ."
"I find it disgusting."
With that, Natalie pushed Isaac away and entered the bedroom.
The door slamd shut.
Isaac stood there rigidly, his complexion shifting from pale to flushed, as if he had been slapped hard.
He began to feel unsteady, as if sothing inside him was crumbling apart.

Natalie had contacted Grandma Rivers, taking Jordan Rivers to the station.
Jordan knew he was being sent away, there was no crying or fuss, just reddened eyes.
From the mont they got into the car, he clutched his backpack tightly, head lowered in silence, not speaking a word to Natalie.
Natalie had her laptop on her lap, focused intently on her docunts.
Forty minutes later.
The car arrived at the station.
Within minutes, the window was knocked on with urgency.
Grandma Rivers’ worried face appeared in the window.
Natalie opened the car door and got out, walking around to the other side to open the car door.
Jordan was imdiately pulled into a hug by Grandma Rivers, "Oh my! You almost scared the soul out of !"
"Cough, cough! Miss Rivers."
Natalie turned to look at Jordan’s aunt, Lily Rivers.
This ti, she was all smiles and flatteries, completely different from the hostility and disdain she’d shown during their last eting.
"Miss Rivers, I heard you run a large company?"
Natalie understood her intent.
She wanted money.
Glancing at Jordan in Grandma Rivers’ arms, she took out a card and handed it to Grandma Rivers: "Take him back. I hope we don’t et again in the future."
