Chapter 266 Not Natalie, Wrong Girl
Lucy was startled by Jensen’s sudden outburst.
“Mr. Jensen, what’s wrong with you? I’ll call a doctor!”
She saw that his palm was cut and immediately grew anxious.

Jensen’s eyes had been full of expectation, but the moment he saw Lucy, he froze; it was as if all the strength and spirit had been drained from him in an instant. He copsed onto the sofa, his face pale.
“How could it be you? Why isn’t it my
Natalie?”
He muttered the words under his breath.
Lucy didn’t catch it and instinctively asked, “Mr. Jensen, what did you say?”
But Jensen didn’t respond.
His mind was filled with images of Natalie’s smile, her voice, and the way sheughed and chatted with Baron.
<i>No</i><i>! </i><i>Natalie </i><i>is </i><i>mine</i><i>! </i><i>How </i><i>could </i><i>someone </i><i>useless </i><i>like </i><i>Baron </i><i>deserve </i><i>her</i>? Jensen suddenly lurched to his feet and stumbled toward his phone.
At that moment, only one thought consumed him. <i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>Natalie </i><i>back</i>, I <i>can’t </i>live <i>without </i><i>her</i><i>! </i>
Like a madman, Jensen tried calling Natalie, but she had already blocked his number.
In desperation, he grabbed Lucy’s phone and dialed again.
When Natalie saw the unfamiliar number, she frowned slightly.
Her parents and Baron were due home soon, and the kids had gone out shopping with Flynn. Over the past few days, Flynn hadpletely won them over.
For once, Natalie was alone at home. Oddly, she felt a rare sense of peace, mixed with a faint sense of anticipation.
But the call from that unknown number made her think of Jensen.
She couldn’t understand what was wrong with himtely.

When they had been together, he had never acted like this. More often than not, she was the one calling him after making dinner, asking if he’de home to cat.
At times, Natalie couldn’t shake the feeling that she had cheapened herself.
Why else would Jensen have gone behind her back and married Sharon while he was still with her–counting on the fact that she loved him too much to walk away.
Now, with both of them long separated and living entirely different lives, he was the one who couldn’t seem to let go. He carried on as if he were devoted, as if she had always been the only
one.
Maybe he was fooling himself. Or maybe he still believed she was the kind of woman who could be fooled so easily.
Natalie gave a coldugh and hung up the call.
Hearing the dead tone in his ear, Jensen felt a crushing weight in his chest.
Using Lucy’s phone, he sent her a message: “Natalie, I’m drunk. My stomach hurts so badly. Please, have pity on me. Won’t you see me? Even if you just say one word to me, that would be enough. I miss you so, so much. I’ve already divorced Sharon, I swear! Her child is gone too- there’s no one standing between us anymore. Can’t we start over?”
Jensen’s eyes burned red.
When Natalie heard the notification, she opened the text and saw it was from him. Without a word, she deleted it, blocked the number, and didn’t reply.
Clutching the phone, Jensen waited desperately for her response. He would have been content with even a single word.
But as the minutes ticked by, the phone stayed silent, as if broken.
His expression darkened.
“Lucy, is your phone out of credit? I’ll top
up
it for you.”
Before she could answer, Jensen recharged it with five hundred.
Lucy had been about to say there was still credit left, but she closed her mouth instead.
Once the bnce came through, Jensen stared unblinking at the screen. But the silence remained.

Watching him, Lucy finally suggested, “Mr. Jensen, maybe try calling again?”
“I did. No one picked up.”
Jensen looked like a child abandoned, pitiful and wounded.
Lucy pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Ms. Stone, for all her gentle appearance, was someone with a firm mind. Once she made up her decision, it was nearly impossible to change.
But Lucy dared not voice that thought aloud now.
Jensen, getting no response, redialed the number he knew by heart. This time, all he heard was the cold message informing him he had been blocked.
His face crumpled.
It was the same as being left on “read” in WhatsApp.
Natalie had seen his message, but she no longer pitied him, no longer replied. She truly treated him like a stranger.
That single word–stranger–cut through Jensen’s chest like a de.
<i>How </i>had <i>it </i><ie </i><i>to </i><i>this</i><i>. </i>Once, they had been each other’s lifeline, bound together more deeply than anyone else.
And now it was over–no longer lovers, no longer a bond–reduced to strangers. <fn9bd1> This content belongs to Find~Novel</fn9bd1>
Jensen gripped the phone tightly, veins bulging in his hand.
Lucy, nervous for her phone, quickly reminded him, “Mr. Jensen, that’s my phone.”
