My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1756

Natalie realized she had been overthinking. She had also underestimated the subtle influence of constantly being surrounded by a certain type of people.

When one was immersed in the same environment for too long, it would become nearly impossible to remain unaffected or to hold on to one's ideals.

For Natalie, it all felt normal now.

She let out a bitter laugh. It wasn't a big deal. All she could do was acknowledge that Austin had good fortune with women—and wish him well.

A few minutes later, she parked her car by the side of the road and booked a flight on her phone. Her priorities were simple now—she wanted a divorce from Austin and custody of their children.

She knew getting custody wouldn't be easy, but this was the right moment to divorce. While Austin still had some lingering feelings for her and a sense of guilt, this was her only chance to take the children back home.

…

Two days later, Skylar drove Natalie to the airport.

Skylar asked, "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Natalie looked thinner over the past couple of days, but her eyes now held a newfound determination. "I miss the kids. I'll be back soon—probably."

"Have you made up your mind?" Skylar asked.

Natalie replied firmly, "Yes, there's nothing to hesitate about. If we drag this out any longer, we'll end up despising each other. If it gets to the point of discussing divorce or a separation, we'll just end up throwing dirt at each other. No need to make things uglier."

Skylar nodded, her gaze drifting to the crowds flowing in and out of the airport. Still, she couldn't hide her concern. "If anything happens that you can't handle, call me, okay?"

"I will, I promise. Stop worrying about me." Natalie's eyes glistened, but she forced a smile.

She couldn't bring herself to tell her parents about the situation. The only person who knew was Skylar.

And Skylar was the only one who could say, in moments like this, that if Natalie couldn't handle something, she should ask for help. But Natalie was determined to manage it on her own.
