Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 70

The next day.

Nathan arrived early at the Public Affairs Directorate, but after waiting for a long time, Isabella’s figure never appeared.

His assistant and driver, who stood by, mused, “Mr. Nathan, if you ask me, I don’t think Mrs. Moore truly wants a divorce. I think she’s just trying to get your attention by threatening to divorce you. She probably didn’t expect that you’d actually agree to it, so now she’s hiding away.”

Nathan’s eyes darkened.

At this point, even he couldn’t understand Isabella. She had been insisting on the divorce, but now, she didn’t even show up at the Public Affairs Directorate? What was she playing at?

While waiting for Isabella, Nathan was instead greeted by Victoria.

Victoria hurriedly got out of a taxi and rushed over to him. “Nathan, don’t wait any longer. Isabella won’t be coming…”

Nathan smirked. “Isabella, you dare play me?”

Angrily, he ordered his assistant, “Go immediately and bring Isabella back. I’m determined to divorce her today!”

“Yes, sir,” the assistant responded sharply.

Nathan didn’t notice the panic in Victoria’s eyes as the assistant left. Victoria quickly spoke, “Nathan, Bella is deliberately stalling the divorce because she knows about our secret…”

Nathan’s face immediately turned as dark as ink.

For years, he had been cautious and careful, never daring to cross any lines with Victoria. He was afraid that any scandal would ruin his reputation and harm his promising future.

But a month ago, after Isabella pushed him to his limits, he lost control, got drunk, and in the heat of the moment, he made a mistake with Victoria, leaving undeniable proof of his infidelity during their marriage.

Victoria had always been in poor health, and Nathan never intended for her to suffer the pain of childbirth. But she had begged him to keep the baby, and the doctors had warned that after an abortion, it would be difficult for Victoria to get pregnant again. In the end, Nathan agreed to her request.

Nathan had thought that if he quickly divorced Isabella, he could marry Victoria, and when the baby was born, he would simply announce that it was a premature birth to cover up his affair.

But, despite all his careful planning, he hadn’t expected Isabella to be so well-informed.

“How does she know about this?” Nathan thought, unable to comprehend.

He turned to Victoria, furious. “Why did you reveal the news of your pregnancy?”

Victoria felt extremely wronged. “Nathan, I didn’t tell anyone. I only told Lucy, you know she’s my best friend. We talk about everything. I didn’t think she would leak it.”

Victoria’s eyes filled with fear.

“Is it her? Lucy?”

Nathan’s face darkened, his voice sharp with anger. “You told someone else about this? How could you be so foolish?”

Victoria looked at him with terror, apologizing profusely, “I’m sorry, Nathan.”

Nathan’s tone was filled with despair. “It’s too late to talk about this now. We need to shut Isabella up before she causes any more damage.”

Victoria quickly added, “She wants me to return everything you gave me during our marriage, all the assets.”

Nathan scoffed, “That’s absurd. Those assets are mine. I’ll give them to whoever I want. Why should I give them back to her?”

Victoria hesitated, clearly uncomfortable. “She said that when she married you, she didn’t get any benefits; instead, she lost a kidney. If we don’t resolve her grievances, she’ll drag the divorce out, and your child will be born out of wedlock.”

Nathan had never been so manipulated before. His face turned blue with anger, but he loved Victoria too much, and he cherished their child. In the end, he chose to compromise.
