Chapter 1073
They had to cancel last time because Anya was critically ill, and she and Ronald had been swamped lately.
Nathan smirked slightly. “And then?”
Yulia clenched the fabric of her clothes, “The annual conference is just around the corner. I can’t delay it anymore.”
No more delays.
Nathan sneered, “So you’re saying, you’re planning to give yourself to him tonight?”
His mocking words felt like icy needles piercing her heart. It was as if her blood had stopped flowing. She felt cold
all over.
The car seemed to speed up without her realizing it. The scenery outside the window was retreating faster and
faster. They were about to catch up with Damon’s car in front.
“Congrats, you’re about to get what you want.”
Yulia’s eyes quivered slightly, then she also put on a sarcastic smile, “Thanks.”
Thanks? Ha. How considerate.
Nathan didn’t speak anymore. The atmosphere in the car became chilly.
“Drop me off at the office first. I’ll handle things there before heading to the hotel.”
“Alright.” Damon agreed. Thinking of the man staying at the hotel, his brows furrowed, “Call me if anything
happens.”
Chloe nodded slightly, her ears twitching a bit. She glanced at the rearview mirror. Nathan’s car behind them
seemed to be racing wildly up the mountain road, the roar of the Aston Martin engine deafening.

Damon also looked at the rearview mirror. Nathan’s car was about to overtake them, and the honking suddenly
became harsh in the quiet suburban road. Damon’s face darkened slightly. He gently steered the car to let Nathan’s
car pass.
“Did he have a fight with Yulia? Hurry up and follow them. Don’t let anything happen.”
“It’s okay,” Damon said indifferently, “He knows what he’s doing.”
Chloe watched as Nathan’s car swiftly turned the corner ahead, making her heart skip a beat.
If she were in that car, she might have been okay with it. But that was Yulia. How could such a gentle and calm
woman handle such a shock?
Luckily, they didn’t have an accident. Nathan’s car paused for a moment, then continued on. Yulia held tightly to the
handle on the car roof, her face pale. “Could you…slow down a bit?”
Her other hand was clenching her clothes at her chest tightly, her voice trembling.
Nathan glanced at her, smirked coldly, “Don’t worry. I’ve put up with you for so long. Now that we’re finally getting
a divorce, I wouldn’t let you die at this moment. I don’t want to be a widower.”
He said so, but seeing Yulia scared, he gradually slowed down.
Yulia didn’t want to bother with him, but she felt an insurmountable pressure in her heart. She rubbed her temples,
trying to ignore the suffocation in her heart, and took a deep breath. “Nathan, do you have to insult me like this to
be happy?”
“Yes.” Nathan looked straight ahead, a sarcastic smile on his lips, “Should I praise your loyalty instead?”
Yulia’s eyes widened. She suddenly felt her eyes dry and wanted to rub them.
She knew what he meant. She seduced him into bed, forced him to marry her, but now she was flirting with her ex–
boyfriend, and might even do something with him tonight….

Nathan had already made it pretty subtle. Ha…
“Nathan…” Yulia paused.
She felt her eyes warming up, and her throat souring. She quickly suppressed her emotions and said, “It was your…
idea…”
“Yes. It was my idea, but not every woman would agree. Only you would.” He said it nonchalantly.
Yulia looked at his resolute profile, shut her mouth, and didn’t say another word. The more she said, the more
hurtful it would be.
Slowly, she calmed down. She turned her head to look out the window and didn’t speak for the rest of the trip.
As soon as they entered the city, Nathan parked the car on the side, irritated.
“Get out.” He said suddenly.
Yulia didn’t respond. She unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door.
The morning chill hadn’t completely dissipated. When she opened the door, Nathan felt a gust of cold wind. But
soon, the car warmed up again.
Nathan watched the woman in the trench coat standing by the flower bed, his irritation not subsiding. He hit the gas
and drove off.

Yulia watched the traffic on the road, not blinking in case her tears would fall. At this moment, her phone in her bag
started ringing. She sniffled, took out her phone, and answered.
“Hello.”
“Yulia, I brought you some brownies. How long before you get to the office?”
“…” Cars honked on the road.
Ronald frowned slightly, “Where are you right now?”
Yulia bit her lip, “I’m at the entrance of the south side of the city…”
To avoid Damon and Chloe seeing her, she went behind the flower bed.
Ronald paused for two seconds, then said seriously, “Find a warm place to wait for me. I’ll pick you up.”
“No…”
“Yulia!” Ronald cut her off softly, “Wait for me. I don’t want you to catch a cold.”
Being in the cold, hearing his gentle voice felt like salvation. She even started to crave this warmth. As long as
someone could accompany her, she wouldn’t be in such pain.
*… Alright.”
Yulia nodded over the phone. She blinked, and a tear slid down unexpectedly, even surprising her. She quickly wiped
her eyes, then hung up the phone.
This place was at the boundary of the suburbs and the city, with nothing but a forest park.
Ronald hadn’t reached the office yet. He turned around on his way there and drove over, taking over twenty
minutes.
Yulia waited outside for over twenty minutes. When Ronald saw her figure, he quickly opened the car door and went
over.
“Why are you here so early in the morning?”
Yulia shook her head, not speaking.
She was wearing a scarf, and a thin layer of dew covered her long eyelashes, creating a special kind of beauty.
