A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 793 Protecting You for a Lifetime ] In the dining room, Natalie and Luna had just sat down when Austin returned. Natalie began to rise when she saw the man, but Austin gently said, "No need to get up." "Daddy!" When Luna saw Austin, she slid down from her chair and ran towards him.

Natalie's heart trembled as she watched Luna run towards Austin.

Clearly, after their time in Dawnvale, Luna and Austin's relationship had grown stronger. Natalie could see how much Luna longed for a father's love during this time.

yr CT 'VODUVNUS Seeing Austin scoop the child into his arms, Natalie couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness, Luna was adorable and innocent.

How could Cedric ever bear to hurt her? How could he even consider using Luna to save Kayla? Did he ever consider what might happen if something went wrong during the surgery? Perhaps he never thought that mistakes would happen, and that was why he acted so boldly.

Regardless, it didn't matter anymore.

It was all over now, and Natalie silently celebrated.

As awoman and a mother, she could never forgive Cedric for the pain he inflicted upon them. Perhaps Luna had

been her breaking point, Because of what he did to Luna, Natalie could never forgive Cedric.

While she was lost in thought, Austin came to her side and asked, "What are you thinking about?" Natalie glanced at Austin. He was holding Luna in his arms and affectionately pinching her cheek.

"Iwas just thinking about how happy Lunais." Natalie had been with Luna for many years. Seeing how happy Luna was now, Natalie finally understood what a complete family meant to the child.

Unfortunately, some marriages were destined to fall apart and leave cracks ina child's world, Se

my TV OVIWo "Nat." Austin took her hand, There was a soothing look in his eyes as if he knew exactly what was on her mind.

Natalie felt a bit embarrassed that she had been thinking about such things before Austin. "Sorry, Iwon't do it again!" The past was now firmly behind her.

It felt good.

"It's okay," Austin said as he sat down, still holding her hand.

After all, the past had been too tumultuous for her to stop thinking about it altogether.

After they sat down, Austin served Natalie some of her favorite dishes.

Natalie looked at them and said, "I didn't think these vegetables could grow here with Dawnvale's climate." "They were brought from Verde City." Natalie trembled at the mention of Verde City. That was where she had grown up, so her tastes and habits leaned towards that region.

And this man...

"Let's take it slow since we're settling down in a new place," Austin said gently.

Take it slow? It was evident that Austin was giving Natalie enough time to adjust both emotionally and physically.

Natalie glanced at the man silently. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the words. Finally, she nodded at Austin and said, "Okay. I'll follow your lead." "Silly girl." Austin chuckled.

She wasn't just following his lead. He was carefully protecting her.

Austin could see that even now, Natalie still had a guarded look in her eyes. Her wariness stemmed from the severe hurt she had endured before, making it impossible for her to open her heart fully.

""T went to look at schools for Luna today," Austin said, suddenly changing the subject while Natalie was still processing his previous words.

Natalie was stunned.

wy TI BUNS School?! RYO.

"Luna is at the appropriate age now, and it's time for her to start socializing with her own age group," Austin explained.

But that wasn't what Natalie had meant. She simply hadn't expected Austin to take care of Luna's schooling personally. She had planned to find a school for Luna on her own and wait until Luna became more familiar with Dawnvale before enrolling her.

But even as she was contemplating this, Austin had taken the initiative to start looking.

"How did it go?" she asked.

"TI compared a few preschools, and they're the best in Dawnvale. Shall we

go over and discuss them after lunch?" he suggested.

"Okay," Natalie replied, even as something tugged at her heartstrings.

She never thought she would consult anyone about Luna's affairs. For most people, decisions about children were made between spouses. She had never imagined that someone would truly participate in her and Luna's life.

And now...! After lunch, Austin took Natalie for a walk in the garden while Luna played with the servants.

"Nat n "yes?" "Don't feel pressured, okay? Since I

brought you and Luna here together, I naturally intend to protect you both for a lifetime." Natalie's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Austin's clear, refined face.

Her hand in his involuntarily tensed when she heard his words.

She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came to mind.

"I know what you're worried about.

While you're by my side, none of the things you fear will happen again, okay?" Austin's broad palm rested on the back of Natalie's petite head, and he drew her into his embrace.

He understood Natalie's concern. He also appreciated Natalie's vigilance

towards the situation with Irwin.

Over the years, the Jarvis family hadn't known about Irwin and Cedric's friendship. Because of that, they had actually been trying to set up Natalie with Irwin.

At that time, Natalie's uncertainty about relationships stemmed perhaps from having Luna, so she had always been unsure about matters of the heart.

He was grateful for her uncertainty.

"Lord Austin." "yes?" "Thank you." Though they were already husband and wife, Natalie still hadn't fully come to

terms with the reality even after arriving at Westhill Enclave.

Everything felt like a dream to her, and she feared that the dream would eventually shatter.

Who knew what lurked in the shadows? Just like Irwin back then...! Who could have known that such a huge secret lay hidden behind his sincere protection? In the past, she had faced it alone.

But now, things were different.

She had the Jarvis family's support and Luna by her side. The Jarvis family provided powerful support, but Natalie also felt a deep sense of responsibility for their well-being.

Just as the two were about to continue talking, Martin approached them.

"Lord Austin!" Martin's tone was grave.

Natalie instinctively tried to pull away from Austin's embrace when she heard Martin's voice, but Austin's firm, powerful hand kept her in place.

Natalie was somewhat sad previously, but now she felt embarrassed.

"Lord Austin!" Austin turned and gave Martin a look.

Martin instantly tensed. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have dared to disturb them!
