Knowing My Ex-Wife After The Divorce Novel by Yetta Horace

Chapter 7



The gynecologist recognized Natalie as soon as she walked in. The doctor seemed surprised, but continued with the exam as Tobias had instructed.

Natalie was cooperative throughout the check-up. When it was over, Tobias went with the doctor to get the report. That was when Natalie spotted Elle in the waiting room, holding her own report.

Natalie squinted to see the three words on the paper: Pregnancy Check Report.] ‘Elle is pregnant too? Natalie wondered. A mix of feelings flooded her..

Elle had bounced back well after her surgery. Her face was still a bit pale, but there was more color now; she looked much better and seemed happy.

“What a surprise to see you here,” Natalie said casually.

Elle suddenly looked nervous and covered her belly with her hands. “Natalie, please, you have to let Tobias go.”

Natalie raised an eyebrow, glancing at Elle’s stomach. “Are you pregnant?”

Elle nodded shyly.

Natalie chuckled, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Tobias sure is in a hurry, huh? With your condition, you really shouldn’t be pushing it.”

Elle bit her lip. Tm sorry, I know you and Tobias…

“Don’t worry, I don’t have feelings for him anymore. We’re divorced, and I won’t interfere, Natalie reassured her.

A look of relief crossed Elle’s face, but Natalie didn’t linger on it. Just then, Natalie felt a chill and didn’t need to turn around to recognize the footsteps behind her. When she did turn, she found herself staring into T**s deep-set eyes. She decided to take charge. “Hey, you’re back. What did the results say?”

“You’re healthy. You’re not pregnant, Tobias said, studying her closely, leaving Natalie unsure if he was disappointed or relieved.

She guessed maybe he felt relieved. “If that’s all, I’ll take off: Natalie didn’t want to stick around and turned to leave.

As soon as she was out the door, Tobias looked at Elle’s report. “What’s this?”

“I picked it up for a friend, Elle replied quickly.

“Okay,” he said, not asking more questions. “You really should stay still for a bit. Your health isn’t the best.”

Elle nodded but couldn’t help glance back where Natalie had just left. “If Natalie were pregnant, would you marry her

“No,” “Tobias said firmly. “I won’t be with anyone from the Guzman family.”

Elle felt a wave of relief wash over her, but her caution didn’t fade. Natalie was someone who needed to be handled, once and for all.

–In a quiet corner, Natalie texted Finch, complimenting him on a job well done. Before she and Tobias went for the check-up.

she had asked Finch to change the report results.

“Boss, you’re really pregnant, right? And it’s with the Reese family?” Finch exclaimed, clearly surprised.

“Yeah, Natalie replied, lightly touching her stomach. Her icy gaze softened for a moment. She had always wanted a child, but she never thought it would be with Tobias Now that it was happening, she accepted it. As long as she left the country.

Tobias wouldn’t have to know.

Thinking about this, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. “Athena, I’m ready to go with that plan you suggested about moving abroad. I can join that project.

Six years later, at the airport, a little girl in a pink dress dashed ahead, her cheerful voice ringing out. “Mommy, hurry up! Auntie Maddie has been waiting for us forever!” Her bright, sparkling eyes shone like amber, and her small face beamed with joy.

A woman followed closely behind, slowly taking off her sunglasses to show her delicate features. Her slightly droopy eyelids gave her a chill, relaxed look. “Okay, you little troublemaker, stop rushing me,” Natalie yawned, dragging two suitcases along as she walked at her own pace.

Not far away, a large crowd had gathered. Natalie frowned; she wanted to avoid the crowd. But her daughter ran right toward it, leaving Natalie no choice but to chase after her. Just then, she heard a familiar deep voice above the noise. “I’m not planning on getting married right now?

Natalie stopped in her tracks and scanned the crowd. Sure enough, at the center was Tobias. As the head of the Reese family, he had taken the company to new heights over the years and became a media sensation.

Though she didn’t keep up with the news, she had heard bits and pieces-that the Reese Group was doing well, that Tobias was happy with the woman he had loved for years, and that they had two kids together. The press kept pushing for a wedding announcement.

Today, it seemed like reporters were all over that topic.

As Tobias showed visible annoyance and frowned in silence, someone in the crowd shouted, “Mr. Reese, there are rumors that you have a secret ex-wife. Is it true that you’re divorced?”

Natalie couldn’t help but click her tongue in disbelief. After all this time, her status as the background ex-wife still held some weight.

She thought Tobias wouldn’t reply, but to her surprise, he casually responded, “Yeah”

The voice was soft, but every reporter in the room heard it.

Of course, Natalie was in that group, completely shocked. She thought Tobias would just deny the claim.

Suddenly, a wave of panic swept through the crowd.

“Hey, watch it, kid!”

“Where did that child come from? Be careful, don’t step on her!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

‘Don’t push me! Everyone, just hold on!”

Then there was a loud crash, mixed with a child’s cry. Natalie recognized that sound right away. When she looked back at Tobias, she was stunned to see him bending down, arms wide, catching a little girl-if was her daughter, Yara Guzman. The father and daughter just bumped into each other like that.

“Waaa! Uncle, that was scary!” Yara’s face was wet with tears, clearly shaken.

“Are you okay?” Tobias asked protectively, checking her over.

Yara shook her head. “I’m fine! It just surprised me. Now that you’re holding me, I’m not scared at all!”

Tobias shot a cold glare at the crowd. “How did a kid get in here? Who’s responsible if something happens?”

“Uh, well, we didn’t really notice…

“Sorry. Mr. Reese….

The reporters and bodyguards all looked down in embarrassment. They hadn’t even seen her when Yara slipped in.

Natalie couldn’t help but smirk. She knew exactly what her daughter was thinking. Seeing this handsome guy triggered Yara’s instinct to make a sence again. But Yara did not know that Tobias was indeed her father.

Except for Natalie, no one noticed the playful spark in Yara’s eyes. All they could see was **s gentle side as he held her.

“Mr. Reese is so nice, keeping the kid safe.”

“It’s clear Mr. Reese really cares for kids; he must be a softie at heart.”

The crowd showered him with compliments, but Tobias didn’t respond. Instead, he leaned closer to Yara. “Where is your family?” He wasn’t big on kids, but there was something about this one… it felt like they were always meant to be this close.
