And have to smell his smoky old-fashioned ways.
In their entire relationship, she had never once felt cherished or loved.
She was the only one who had loved, the only one who had given, and in the end, her reward was a brutal death for both her and her unborn child.
She was someone who could love fiercely and let go completely.
But thinking about it now, she was still so angry, so unwilling to accept it.
Sebastian had taken her love for granted, treating her opinions as if they were nothing. He never respected her, never cared for her.
On their wedding night, after dropping her off at home, he had told her coldly, "Natalie, I married you for our grandfathers’ sake. But I will never love you."
He left right after saying that. Not long after, he had the car accident. For two long years, she had taken care of him, attending to his every need.
And that damn Sebastian had repaid her with nothing but neglect and contempt.
Looking back, she really couldn't compare to Joanna. One phone call from Joanna, and he would drop everything and rush to her side. He was always there for Joanna, doting on her, protecting her. That was what real love looked like, wasn't it?
Even in this new life, she could still feel that heart-wrenching pain of being ignored, of being utterly insignificant to him.
Natalie took a deep breath. Stop it. Don't think about it anymore. I am good, I am exceptional, and I deserve someone who will give me their whole heart.
But her connection with Sebastian went far deeper than this. She had known him long before, but he didn't remember her.
Natalie’s eyes snapped open as her phone buzzed with a message from him.
[Natalie, if you come home, I will go explain to your mother. You weren't lying about last night.]
