[Mrs. Scott just beat up Sophia.]


    Watching the video, Natalie felt an unexpected wave of relief wash over her.


    She texted Luna back.


    [Come on back. Nothing more to see. When I left the Scott family, I gave Wendy a heads-up. She started looking into it and set this all up to trap Nathan. We can just sit back and watch them tear each other apart now.]


    [Fine. But you shouldn''t have warned her. They''re both vicious and disgusting. Why help them at all?]


    Luna, annoyed, put her phone down and drove off.


    Sophia limped back up to the second floor and found Nathan lying on the sofa, scrolling through his phone. The memory of Wendy witnessing her humiliation sent a fresh wave of rage through her.


    She stormed over, ready to unleash her fury, but Nathan spoke first. "Go make lunch. I''m hungry. Nothing rich or heavy, I can''t eat that right now. Make something light."


    He had been feeling increasingly unwell and didn''t dare eat anything too rich.


    Sophia froze, then let out a bitterugh. “Nathan, I married you to live a life offort, not to be your servant. I spent years living in the shadows, and you expect me to wait on you now? Impossible. I''ll order you some takeout."


    "Takeout?" Nathan''s brow furrowed. He sat up, ring at her. "Sophia, how could you make me eat takeout? Wendy would never let me eat takeout."


    “Heh...” Sophia sneered, her eyes filled with resentment. "Nathan, when you were hitting me, Wendy was standing right outside watching. You embarrassed me, you humiliated me, and now you expect me to cook for you? Dream on."


    "She was good to you, yes, but you''re divorced now. She has nothing to do with you. She probably wishes you were dead. You really think she''s going to make you lunch?"


    "Nathan, have you woken up from your dream yet?"


    Her mocking tone grated on him, and his eyes shed with anger. Then her words sank in. "Wait, you said Wendy was outside the vi watching us?"


    "That''s right! So if you want to eat, you might as well go eat dirt." Sophia shot back, then spun around and mmed the bedroom door.


    Nathan, however, was suddenly thrilled. Did this mean Wendy still had feelings for him? Was she worried he wasn''t eating or sleeping well in the cold?


    Wendy had always been so thoughtful.


    He rushed to the window, but there was no one there. Dejected, he went to the kitchen.


    Seeing the sink full of yesterday''s unwashed dishes, Nathan wanted to


    unw self something to eat but


    makey


    had


    no idea where to start.


    He had been pampered by Wendy for over two decades and waspletely useless in a kitchen.


    Wendy never would have let him cook. The house always had maids and a chef, and he could have whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.


    But now, he couldn''t even get a single


    thought about it, the angrier he


    and he went to picko


    bmeal. The more Nathan


    another fight with Sophia


    Life after the divorce wasn''t what he had imagined. It was just daily chaos.


    "Sophia, get out here and make lunch! I''m hungry!"


    "Get lost! I''m not your servant...”


    Afternoon.


    Natalie finished reviewing all the documents. The high-intensity work didn''t bother her much.


    She was healthy now and felt she could aplish anything.


    She shut down herputer, stretched, and after sending a quick message to her family''s group chat to eDthem know she was fine, she headed home.


    Once in the car, Natalie checked her family group chat again. Only Owen was still ignoring her.


    Natalie felt a pang of sadness. Owen still hadn''t forgiven her.
