Chapter 30 Rebecca’s Arrogance

After returning home, Natalie received a call from Stephen. Natalie informed him that she would not be returning to Simeria for the time being, but would instead open a studio in her field of expertise. Stephen immediately promised to support her.

Throughout the years Natalie spent with Cedric, he had never allowed her to work, shaping her into a full- time housewife who had learned to endure and comply with everything. Her daily life revolved around managing in–law relationships and household chores.

Everyone envied her for marrying Cedric and living a life where she was pampered. However, only those who had actually experienced being a full–time housewife in a wealthy family knew how challenging it

could be.

With Stephen’s support, her new venture would be much smoother.

When Bianca returned in the evening, she found Natalie earnestly sketching on a piece of paper while

holding her pig in one hand.

Bianca approached and smiled. “I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to survive after divorcing Cedric,

but it seems I was wrong.

Natalie glared at Bianca, not in the mood for her teasing. “Who in this world won’t be able to survive after

a divorce?”

It was as if she had become worthless after marrying Cedric. But in reality, Cedric had shaped her into someone who could do little more than please the Johnson family and attend to their needs!

However, now that she was on the verge of leaving him, her hand holding the paintbrush didn’t tremble.

“Fair point, but you’ve impressed me,” Blanca commented.

Natalie replied, “Dinner is ready. It’s in the pot.”

Bianca laughed. “Wow, you can cook for yourself now? Well done!”

Natalie felt a bitter pang in her heart. “I was not entirely useless in the Johnson family, you know.”

When Rebecca wasn’t around, Natalie had an easier time. However, every time she returned to Johnson Manor, she wished she could hide in the kitchen.
