Love’s Second Act by Alvis Midden

Chapter 9 

Calvin came back in the afternoon 

Only after making several calls in the study did he come out, catching sight of Natalie looking s loungewear. 

In her arms was a mini pig dressed exquisitely in a pretty dress. 

Calvin stepped forward, snatched the pig from her, and threw it on the couch. Natalie immediately glower unconcealable fury, 

She mentally remarked, “What? Just because Yvette is kidnapped, he’s gonna flare up at me? Then, she questioned, “What are you doing?” 

Thave something to ask yout 

Then, ask. Why did you have to throw Jeffrina aside 

Calvin was about to lose his cool again, thinking. I’m so terribly stressed right now, yet she’s actually arguing with me because of a pig 

This woman seriously has the ability to make me lose my temper at any time” 

He sat down and threw the pig even further away. 

Natalie scowled at him, went to pick up the pig silently, and comforted it in her arms. “It’s okay. Jeffrina. Let’s just ignore the lunatic.” 

Her words only served to make the already furious man even more enraged 

“What did you say when you met Yvette today?” The anger in his tone was now unmistakable. 

Natalie gazed at him as a sharp glint flashed across her eyes. 

She couldn’t help thinking. This is that tone, all right. 

When Yvette was kidnapped in the last life, he also came back in a hurry and questioned me in the samne tone as now! 

Back then, Natalie had been so hurt when Calvin interrogated her because of his mistress. 

Now, however, there was only coldness left in her heart. 

“I dont think that’s what you should be asking Instead, you should ask your dear sister what she said to Yvette!” 

“What do you mean by that

Chapter 

“An Natalie prompted, wanting to see if the current him would accuse her of kidnapping Yvette. 

She recollected the things he had said in the last life. 

At that time, when he interrogated her, her first response was to deny it. However, Calvin told her, Tknow you’re mad, but this is all a misunderstanding. Tell me where she is 

Back then, he instaruly assumed that Natalie was the one who kidnapped Yvene. 

Even until now, Natalie could still clearly remember how confident he seemed when he alleged it was her doing. The iciness in her heart intensified. 

“Sure enough life’s easier when one’s in the dominant position he reflected. 

Right then, Calvin, who was initially aggressive, stood up and said somewhat panickedly. “I gotta go, I won’t be coming back for dinner. 

Natalie looked at his mildly staggering back view and shut her eyes. 

“What a great husband this is. If I’m right, he’s currently.. losing his mind because of Yvette’s kidnapping, huh?” she pondered. 

In the past, the man only had eyes for Natalie. 

Even though she simply cut her fingers while slicing an apple, he would nervously observe whether she had any sequela in the following days. Alas, at present, his concern no longer belonged to her. 

Two hours after Calvin left, Rebecca called 

She criticized Natalie through the phone, “Do you even have the temperament of the lady of the Jeffords family? Do you know how much money the company will lose if this causes a decline in stocks?” 

Natalie did not say a word. 

Rebecca continued, Tve taught you before. It’s typical for people with Calvin’s status to put on a show with women outside.” 

Though Natalie did not check the news, she knew how big of a sensation Yvette’s kidnapping had caused by now. 

The other party had planned out the entire scheme and gave her no opportunity to react at all. 

In the previous life, this was how Natalie was driven crazy. 

Back then, she was immersed in the grief of losing Calvin and had no experience in coping with public opinion 

In a frenzy, she fell into the trap laid out by the other party time and time again. 

At this moment, however, everything overlapped, and she no longer felt the panic and fear she did before
