Chapter 707


    Natalie had a pretty good idea of who was at the door–Jeremy’s parents, Eleanor and Morton, who


    had been like family to her for as long as she


    could remember.


    Desperation gripped her as she realized the only way forward was to bring their parents into the


    situation. After all, they were the ones who cared most about their well–being.


    Jeremy’s parents entered first, followed closely by Jeremy himself. When their eyes met, Natalie’s


    eyes grew red. Her emotions were a tangled mess -seeking a divorce seemed ruthlessly decisive,


    yet her heart was breaking with every beat.


    Jeremy’s gaze was steady as he looked at Natalie. He had watched her grow up and knew it was


    nearly impossible for anyone to change her mind once she had made her decision. Despite this, he


    could not ept the end


    of their marriage. For him, divorce was simply not an option.


    Seeing Jeremy’s resolve made Natalie’s heart ache even more. They understood each other too


    well, and this situation was cruelly painful for


    both.


    “Nath, Jeremy made a mistake. Regardless of whether he was set up, he has wronged you. We


    have disciplined him and ensured that everyone in hispany will be thoroughly vetted going


    forward.


    “Such incidents won’t happen again. You know him better than we do; he’ll never forget his


    promises to you before marriage. Your parents are holding him to them. He won’t dare to forget,”


    Eleanor said.


    Eleanor moved closer and enveloped Natalie in a tight hug. To Eleanor, Natalie was like a daughter.


    The betrayal Natalie felt pained Eleanor deeply, and she shared in the hurt and anger as if it were


    her own.


    She knew Jeremy wasn’t entirely at fault. His position made him a target, and at times, it was simply


    beyond his capability to defend against every possible scheme. Unfortunately, this was one of those


    rare instances


    2/2


    where he was set up.


    Morton couldn’t fathom the logic behind it. Why Jeremy? Why not someone else?


    Morton, known for his stern demeanor, spoke to Natalie in a softer tone.” We understand how


    painful this is for you, but Jeremy deeply regrets his actions,” he said kindly.

    He continued, “You’ve been inseparable since childhood, a model couple for many, and this setback


    is a major challenge, especially soon after your marriage. Nath, I know this is a huge difficulty, but


    could you find it in your heart to give Jeremy another chance?”


    Eleanor and Morton’s eyes were filled with hopeful anticipation, their demeanor warm and


    affectionate. Their gentle approach only deepened Natalie’s heartache.


    Kate and Damon were momentarily at a loss for words.


    “No matter how things unfolded, the fault lies with me. Nath, please give us both some more time,”


    Jeremy pleaded, his voice almost desperate. For someone as proud and sessful as Jeremy, this


    was a humbling plea.


    Eleanor and Morton felt a pang of difort seeing him so vulnerable. The situation was incredibly


    cruel for everyone involved.


    Natalie’s vision blurred as tears welled up in her eyes.


    “The damage has been done,” Damon said, his voice steady. “While forgiveness is a step, it might


    not be enough. Nath has already extended forgiveness, but I believe some time apart could help


    them both gain perspective.”


    Kate remained silent, her heart aching as she watched Natalie cry. The thought of their divorce was


    unbearable.
