SWNOVELS Chapter 10
Chapter 10 I Will Fulfill Your Desires Today
Natalie replied calmly, “I won’t be moving back.”
The butler was stunned for a moment. He quickly persuaded her, “Mrs. Chase, please don’t be angry at Mr. Chase. Mr. Chase hasn’t been absent as before. He has been coming home every day.”
Natalie wouldn’t let herself dwell on her feelings for Henry anymore. She brushed it off casually.
“Of course he’s willing to come home when I’m not around.”
“Mrs. Chase…” Just as the butler was about to say something, the sound of the car engine came from outside the gates.
Natalie and the butler looked in the direction of the gates simultaneously.
Henry got out of the back seat of the car casually. He looked as dazzling as he always did.
He was dressed in a finely tailored dark gray suit. All in all, he exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.
His stunning looks were extremely captivating. It made it impossible for anyone to look away.
He walked past Natalie without even glancing at her. “Come to my study.”
Natalie tightened the grip on the item in her hand. She trailed behind him afterward.
Throughout the entire journey to the study, Henry had never once stopped to wait for her nor turned to look at her.
He had no idea how exhausting this one–sided marriage was.
When they entered the study room, Henry sat on the couch. He lifted his gaze to look at Natalie. “What did you want to discuss?”
He was fully prepared to forgive her.
But that was only if she had shown enough sincerity in admitting to her mistakes.
Natalie placed the folder she had been clutching in front of Henry. “I need you to sign this.”
Henry stared at the folder for a moment. He could guess the contents inside. Still, he tried to keep his tone under control. “What is that?”

“It’s the divorce agreement. I’ve already had a lawyer draft it. I’ve already signed it. You should sign it too. That way, we’ll both be free,” Natalie explained calmly.
She made it seem like getting a divorce was just a miniscule matter for her.
Yet, the divorce agreement she handed to him felt like a punch to his gut.
At that very moment, Henry couldn’t help but feel like a fool.
Why did he even think of buying Natalie a gift to coax her? Wasn’t he the one to admit that she wasn’t worth his effort?
His efforts in getting her a gift made him feel like a fool!
While Henry was thinking of coaxing Natalie, she had gone ahead to hand him the divorce agreement so ruthlessly!
Natalie noticed Henry’s tense expression. The rage in his eyes was like a volcano on the edge of erupting.
Yet, she didn’t back down. Instead, she asked with a smile, “Henry, don’t you want to sign the papers? Could it be… that you actually have feelings for me?”
Before Natalie could finish her sentence, Henry ripped the agreement into shreds.
“Natalie Shepherd! You’d better not push it!”
Henry glared at her disapprovingly. His eyes were filled with rage. “Let me make it clear. You’d better watch your behavior while I’m still willing to give you a
chance.”
Natalie had anticipated this outcome.
She handed him another stack of papers while saying, “I printed extra copies. You can tear them at your own pace. When you’ve had enough, remember to leave your signature on one of the copies.”
Henry was enraged. He exuded a chilling air.
Yet, Natalie continued to provoke him. “Call me whenever you’re ready to the courthouse to settle the administrative aspects of the divorce. I’ll be right there.”
She completely ignored Henry’s anger.
Just as she wanted to turn around and leave, Henry grabbed her arm.
Then, he forcefully pinned her to the couch.
Natalie was stunned.

No! She was]
That was why she needed to stop him!
When this thought crossed Natalie’s mind, she tried to push him away. “Henry Chase! Let go of me! Don’t touch me!”
Henry sneered coldly. He insulted, “Have you been too lonely recently that you’ve resorted to these tactics to get what you want? Today, I’ll fulfill your desires!”
Natalie couldn’t even begin to imagine how roughly he might manhandle her when he was furious.
Moreover, he had already started to rip at her clothes.
Natalie couldn’t let anything happen to her baby!
She struggled even harder. “Henry, I don’t even like you! Stop being such a narcissist! Let go! Let go of me!”
Henry gripped her chin. He continued to taunt her. “It seems that constant pestering didn’t work. So that’s why you’re trying to play hard to get now, hmm?
The moment he was done speaking, he pressed his lips onto hers forcefully.
This was the first time Henry had initiated a kiss.
But it wasn’t a gentle kiss like Natalie had hoped for in the past.
Instead, his kiss was aggressive. It felt like a form of punishment to her.
Natalie didn’t want things to get out of control, but she was too weak to struggle. She could only raise her hand and slap him hard.
“Henry Chase! Stop it!”
At that moment, everything around them seemed to stand still. The atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
Henry didn’t react immediately. He maintained the position of his face slightly turned against her.
She had struck him quite hard. There was a faint handprint on his face.
His expression gradually darkened.
“Whether or not I’m putting on a show can be proven once you’ve signed the divorce agreement. Don’t worry. I won’t ever bother you again once we’re divorced.” Natalie’s gaze was resolute.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Henry aside and got off the couch.
Her foot happened to step on something.
It was a delicate jewelry box.
The box had fallen out of Henry’s pocket a moment ago.
The lid of the box was open. It revealed a lovely necklace inside.
Natalie had seen this necklace in a magazine. It symbolized “the love of my life“.
She wondered who Henry planned to gift this necklace to.
But she didn’t dwell on this thought any further. Instead, she left in a hurry.
On the other hand, Henry slowly turned his head after Natalie left. His gaze landed on the tightly shut door.
Natalie would definitely come back looking for him later. He was very sure of that!
This was Henry’s first time getting slapped in all 27 years of his life.
Moreover, this slap felt like a stab to his heart. It left him in shock for a while.
Henry took a considerable amount of time to regain his composure.
He sat on the couch and picked up one copy of the divorce agreement.
It was then he found that Natalie hadn’t demanded anything from him as the divorce settlement.
This was somewhat unexpected to Henry.
He thought that she would at least demand some benefits for herself. For example, a certain amount of money.
Henry gradually furrowed his brows. He really didn’t understand this woman.
To be exact, he never understood her from the start.
Suddenly, his train of thought was interrupted by a knock on the door.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Chase, there’s someone here for you. She claims to be Ms. Weaver,” the butler reported from outside the door.
Juliet?
What was she doing here?
