Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan)

Outside the ward, Victoria's frail body leaned weakly against the wall, as she heard Mrs. Hill belittling herself, a strong sense of bitterness surged in her heart.

Is she really not better than her younger sister at anything?

She stood there, listening intently to the sounds inside, secretly hoping for Nathan's careful protection. But this time, for a long, long time, there was no response from Nathan.

Victoria felt anxious. She was afraid that Nathan would be easily influenced and truly believe his mother's words, and in turn, she started to think that his ex-wife was better.

Nervous and uneasy, she finally lost control and pushed the door open.

In the ward, Mrs. Hill sat on the bed. She looked at her coldly.

Nathan knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

Victoria's sudden appearance shattered the hard-earned peace between the mother and son. Mrs. Hill exclaimed in annoyance, "Who let you in?"

Victoria knelt beside Nathan, her face filled with devotion. "Mom, I beg you, Nathan has been busy with work lately and his health is not good. Please understand and don't make him kneel down. If you have any grievances, pour them all on me, I will bear them for him."

Nathan was moved to tears and immediately helped Victoria up with concern. He firmly said to Mrs. Hill, "Mother, Victoria and I have already gotten married. Whether you like her or not, I will never separate from her."

Mrs. Hill saw that Nathan had made up his mind and became so angry that she closed her eyes.

"Go away, from now on, you are not allowed to come back to the Hill family."

Nathan froze for a moment, a touch of disappointment crossed his handsome face.

"Mom..." he choked out, calling.

"Get lost," Mrs. Hill snapped.

Nathan pulled Victoria and left reluctantly.

Walking out of the hospital, the sky was covered in gloom, as if Nathan's mood.

Victoria was chosen so firmly by Nathan that she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes, but she

managed to conceal her little joy well and shifted her hatred onto Thea.

"It's all because of my sister. If it weren't for her intentionally calling mom over, mom wouldn't have known about our marriage. She wouldn't have gotten sick out of anger."

Nathan gritted his teeth and said, "Thea!"

He bit down on the words with such force, as if he wanted to crush them.

***

The prince of the Gao Ling flower suddenly descended to the mortal world and, unprecedentedly, hosted

a party. He invited all his close childhood friends, classmates, and dear friends from the business world. He wanted to borrow the help of these brothers to jointly suppress Thea.

Don't let her ride on his head and show off.

There were a total of twelve people, gathered around a large long table, with imported fruits placed on the table. Before Nathan clarified the purpose, everyone freely talked about recent interesting events. Finally, the topic naturally shifted to the latest trending topic.

"Nathan, I heard that you and your wife got divorced?"

Nathan elegantly took a sip of his drink, appearing indifferent. "You all know, Isabella was never someone who could be seen in high society. I felt embarrassed during the years I was with her. Now, I can finally rid myself of her."

If it were in the past, his group of friends would definitely be happy for him, and they would also add a few words of agreement, saying "It's good that he left, he should have left a long time ago."

But today, everyone was surprisingly silent.

Nathan felt strange. "Why aren't you all speaking? Weren't you all advising me to divorce her earlier? You used to say that she wasn't even worthy of me.'

"This too shall pass."

Nathan's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.

In just six words, their roles were reversed, exposing him and Thea.

He used to be the unattainable male god that Thea couldn't reach, but now he has fallen from the clouds, while she has become the unattainable flower on the high peak.

Nathan kicked while pretending to be confused, "What does that mean?"

Guillermo's mouth is always faster than his brain. "Oh, Nathan, don't you understand yet? The former Isabella, poor, uncultured, and unattractive; now Thea, beautiful, fair-skinned, and a successful career woman. Nathan, in my opinion, you made a mistake divorcing this marriage."

He was Thea's number one fan and

spoke endlessly about her. "You

ver

don't know MS. Thea now, she has transformed completely, even more beautiful than those top stars. Not only does she have a great figure but she also has a good temperament. The key is that she is capable, even my grandfather can't stop praising her when he mentions her, saying that her business skills surpass her peers by a large margin. He even predicts a promising future for her. She is destined to achieve something."

After Guillermo opened his mouth, everyone was no longer afraid of offending Nathan and spoke freely. "We really misjudged it. No one expected that Isabella was actually a hidden gem, just a little polishing and she shines brightly."

"Yeah, Mrs. Brown has such high standards. I never expected Isabella's work to catch her eye." "Don't you know? Isabella disappeared for these few years, actually diligently learning from Master Jasmine. I heard that Master Jasmine took in many students, but only allowed her to learn secretly by her side. Isabella's stage name abroad is Thea, and she has already become very famous."

The wine glass in Nathan's hand suddenly shattered, emitting a loud and sharp sound. Instantly, everyone fell silent.

The praise from friends to Thea felt like slaps on his face. After all, he was the foolish one who couldn't recognize a gem when he saw one.

His friends quickly comforted him,

"Nathan, don't be angry. In my opinion, Isabella still loves you. The so-called love is as deep as hate. She is divorcing you just because she is unhappy with your previous indifference towards her. As long as you are willing to let go of your pride and care more about her, she will still be willing to come back to you. After all, she loved you so deeply before that she even lost her dignity. Such a profound love, how could it just disappear."

After a few sentences, Nathan's restless heart was somewhat soothed.

His mood also eased.

He grasped the essence of this sentence. "The depth of love is equal to the depth of hatred."

Isabella, still loved him, right?

He almost got deceived by her.

But Victoria on the side couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out, "Nathan and I are already married."

Everyone looked at each other, and then there was a sense of déjà vu with a flower inserted in cow dung. Unfortunately, Victoria was the cow dung, and Nathan was the flower.

Victoria did not hear the blessings she wanted, only the silence of social death.

Her face turned red.

Nathan didn't want his crush to be

disliked by his brothers, so he quickly came to Victoria's support. "As you all know, Victoria and I have been childhood friends, and she is my responsibility for life. So, please refrain from mentioning other women in front of her in the future, as it will upset her."

Everyone had a blank expression.

The gathering ended in an awkward atmosphere, and the brothers left early with various excuses.

Nathan experienced the outcome of the scattered monkeys when the tree fell, his face turned dark, and his mood became gloomy.

Victoria kept blaming herself, "Nathan, I seemed to have burdened you."

Nathan embraced her, saying, "They didn't understand the preciousness of our relationship. You don't have to worry about them."
