Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 580

“You don’t need any more wine. Just stay here in my arms.”

Natalie felt a knot of anxiety, but Terence suddenly tilted her head up, making her meet his gaze.

In the hazy moonlight, his deep eyes were like stars, reminiscent of the night sky she used to gaze at as a child.

Like a startled kitten, Natalie said weakly, “I’m sorry, I must be hurting you. I should get up.”

She tried to move, but Terence’s firm yet gentle hand kept her head resting against him.

“I know you’re upset. I should have protected you better.”

His voice was low and magnetic, laced with guilt for not being able to shield her from more pain.

Just a moment ago, Natalie had been embarrassed to be in his arms.

But hearing him blame himself, she said emotionally, “It’s not your fault. You always know what I need, and you’re always there to help me. Meeting you was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.

“If it weren’t for you, I’d probably have been crushed by now, with no way to get back on my feet.”

Natalie knew that without Terence, she would be a complete and utter mess.

Because the Ward and Cross families had blacklisted her, she couldn’t find a job. She might have given up and gone back to them, begging for scraps.

If that had happened, it would have been a miserable existence. Without Terence, she might not have been able to live with any dignity at all.

Hearing her say that meeting him was her good fortune, Terence’s heart skipped a beat.

Meeting her was his good fortune, too.

“Then let’s celebrate our mutual luck.”

Terence took another large gulp of wine. Natalie tried to stop him but was too slow.

“That wine is really strong. You’ll get drunk.”

Natalie remembered Mrs. Lockwood’s mysterious comment, calling the wine something scandalous because it was so potent.

Terence’s eyes narrowed slightly. Wouldn’t it be better if he was drunk?
