Unrepairable Love Chapter 601
Elizabeth shot a quick glance at Natalia and gave a small smile. โSo, you finally wrapped up filming? Grandmaโs been under the weather lately. Do you think you could spend some more time with her?โ She plopped down next to Natalia.
Natalia never really liked Elizabeth, mostly because she thought Elizabeth was prettier. And now, with Elizabeth sitting right next to her, she was instantly annoyed.
โDad, can we switch seats?โ she asked Charles, who was sitting beside her.
Charles frowned. โYou havenโt seen Elizabeth in ages. Just chat with her! Donโt lose your temper with your family.โ He knew Nataliaโs temper all too well and always tried to get her to change. But bad habits died hard, and good ones were tough to pick up.
Natalia couldnโt switch seats, and Elizabeth chuckled. โWhy do you seem so scared of me? The moment I show up, you want to bolt. Worried sitting next to me will make you look less pretty?โ She raised an eyebrow and took a sip of water.
Elizabeth had nailed Nataliaโs insecurities.
Natalia snapped. โIโm not! Stop being so full of yourself. Everyone online says Iโm the top beauty!โ
โOkay,โ Elizabeth nodded, dropping the subject.
Natalia felt a pang of guilt. After all, Elizabeth knew Lila, the real top beauty! Elizabethโs simple โOkayโ really got under Nataliaโs skinโit felt so dismissive!
โDad,โ Natalia called out to her father again.
Elizabeth was really over it, thinking how Natalia always ran to Charles whenever she got upset. Charlesโs life used to be pretty chill, but Natalia brought a lot of drama into it.
Elizabeth shook her head and then looked over at Celine. Grant was feeding Celine, and Celine seemed so calm that Elizabeth wondered if she was just faking it.
โIs the research institute still keeping you busy?โ Charles changed the topic.
Elizabeth nodded. โYeah, but Iโm getting the hang of it.โ Though Blair, who Sheldon brought in, was a bit of a pain.
โWhyโd you leave your good job as a doctor to run the research institute? You must be swamped,โ Natalia mocked from the side.
Elizabeth was irritated. โIโm very capable. After this research, Iโve got other plans. My lifeโs gonna be way more exciting than yours. Why donโt you quit acting and join me?โ
Natalia scoffed. She looked down on Elizabeth the most. No way sheโd work with her.
โNo thanks, my lifeโs just fine! As long as she kept her cool, sheโd eventually become a superstar! But she couldnโt help herself. Her online rep just wouldnโt improve. Maybe she just needed a break.
โBut I heard while I was filming that you got divorced?โ Natalia asked, clearly trying to provoke her.
Elizabeth shot Natalia a cold look.
โLooks like your so-called perfect marriage didnโt work out,โ Natalia sneered.
Everyone at the table could hear the tension.
Rose didnโt want to hear Natalia mock Elizabethโs marriage, so she cut in, โLetโs just eat.โ
โWhatโs wrong? Am I wrong?โ Natalia immediately asked Rose.
Rose stayed silent.
Natalia then laughed. โEven if my words sting, itโs the truth. Elizabeth is now a divorced woman.โ
Elizabethโs grip tightened on her utensils, then she looked at Natalia. โSo what if Iโm divorced? Is that supposed to be shameful?โ
