Chapter 10 Natalies pulse quickened , and she clutched her chest . You nearly gave me a heart attack ! she declared , her lips a vibrant red as they formed a playful pout , her eyes dancing with a liveliness that Easton had never witnessed . He was more accustomed to a Natalie who was calm and steady always having dinner ready and waiting for him . This spirited version was a pleasant surprise . Easton had been through the wringer when hed lost his sight , and Natalie had been his unwavering support . If not for her conflicts with Jennifer , they could have had a peaceful life together . Noting Eastons silence , Natalie continued . Ex , if youve got issues , maybe a vet can help . You had me sign those divorce papers at Jennifers birthday party, and I left with nothing . You signed them too , and now its final . She gave a scornful laugh and continued , You want me to come back home ? You must be joking . Ive made space for you and your perfect partner . Now , please , just leave me alone . As she spoke , the memories of their arguments over Jennifer came flooding back , and Natalie was reminded of how she always had to be the one to apologize . Overwhelmed by the recollection of her humiliation , she slapped herself sharply . Eastons eyebrows knitted together in concern as he asked , Why hit yourself ? Natalie scoffed , To snap out of it , to stop loving a jerk. This seemed to strike a nerve with Easton , his eyes darkening as he started , Natalie , you- Natalie , your five minutes are up , James interrupted , leaning against the doorframe with a playful grin . His casual charm was a breath of fresh air compared to Eastons more mature appeal . Natalie reached out , cooing , Pick me up . James , with a doting smile , replied , Arms might give out , but I can give you a piggyback . Youve got some heft to you . Natalie slapped his shoulder playfully . Watch it . Saying a woman is heavy is asking for trouble . James was silent , genuinely worried that her words might come back to haunt him . Alright , lets get you home . Your foot is badly hurt , and with the anesthesia , you wont be able to taste anything for a while , he said . So whats the point of cooking lobster for me when I cant taste a thing ? Natalie questioned , finally realizing why her mouth was numb , a sense of dejection setting in . James patted his broad back . A warm feeling washed over Natalie as she lay on his back , her voice choked . James , lets go home . In her previous life , her brother was murdered by a hitman sent by Jennifer . She hoped that by avoiding Easton this time , she could prevent that tragedy . James sensed the strangeness in her tone and felt a pang in his heart as he thought about how much his sister had suffered . Easton looked at them in anger . Natalie , are you going home with him ? Natalie steadied herself , her voice shaky but sweet from the comfort of her brothers care . My dear ex , why do you care where I go ? Were divorced , just like you wanted . Although your looks are refreshing , Im tired of them . James chuckled at Natalies words . He admired this side of her the spirited , tender hearted girl he had looked after since she was a child . Easton stared at Natalie for a moment , then left in anger . Once he was out of sight , Natalie breathed a sigh of relief . James , lets go . She leaned against James back , feeling the warmth of her brothers back . Alright , were heading home , James said as he carried her downstairs , surprised at how light she was . She had seldom reached out to them since she married Easton . He was glad that his sister , who had been blinded by love , had finally come to her senses . Natalie lay quietly on him , her heart aching as she said , James , Im sorry ! James stopped in his tracks , his voice deep . Natalie , why are you saying sorry ?
