Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 939

Clair was livid. She grabbed whatever was close and hurled it all at Natalia. As she did, she screamed her head off. "Natalia, I've been treating you like a god all these years and look at what you've given me. I'm telling you, your marriage isn't up to you, whether you like it or not, you have to marry Marcus."

Seeing the unhinged Clair, Natalia felt a sense of satisfaction. She knew exactly what would tick Clair off, and said it anyway. "Marcus isn't someone you can just hand off to me!"

That line undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Clair grabbed the nearest thing and smashed it towards Natalia's head. With a loud crash, a cut opened on Natalia's forehead, blood spreading quickly, blooming like a rose.

This sight brought some sanity back to the raging Clair, and she put on her loving mother act again. "Natalia, I didn't mean to hurt you... I was just really angry. Your forehead is bleeding, let me help you clean it up, okay?"

Natalia sneered. "You already hit me, and this isn't the first time you've done this. Don't bother apologizing. I don't want your act anymore."

"Natalia, what are you talking about? How could you talk like that?" Clair approached Natalia, trying to wipe the blood off her forehead.

Natalia pushed Clair's hand away and glared at her. "Back off! And don't touch me! I don't want to see you or anyone from the Reese family again!"

Natalia's rejection pissed Clair off even more. "Natalia, do you know who you're talking to? Do you realize what you're saying?"

Natalia decided she'd had enough. "I know exactly what I'm saying! I'm sick of you, sick of everyone in the Reese family..."

Clair slapped Natalia's face hard again. "Seems like I spoilt you too much before. You've become too wilful. From now on, stay in your room and think about what you've done wrong. Don't you dare step out of this room without my permission."

Natalia retorted, "Even before this, I wasn't allowed to leave my room freely."

They kept her locked up for days. She could leave her room, but not the Reese mansion. She felt like a bird trapped in a cage, not only robbed of her freedom, but now they wanted to clip her wings.

Clair couldn't accept this disobedient Natalia. "Did Cornelia say something to you? Is she trying to drive a wedge between us? Natalia, I'm your mother, no one in this world loves you more than I do. But you choose to believe a stranger over me. I'm truly disappointed in you!"

Clair tried to play her old tricks again, but this time, Natalia was completely immune.

"You never treated me as a person, and now you want to pin the blame on Cornelia. Cornelia never tried to ruin our relationship. Because she doesn't give a damn about you, you're not worth her effort."

For the first time, Clair couldn't refute Natalia and stormed off in a huff. When she reached the ground floor, she called for the butler. "I need to take a trip. I might be gone for a few days. While I'm gone, take good care of Ms. Reese. She hasn't been feeling well lately, and she needs to rest in her room. Make sure she doesn't leave. She's been thinking of dieting, so only serve her one meal a day. She wants vegetarian, and you need to control her portion."

Although she said it was for dieting, the butler knew better. It was just another scheme to starve Natalia, and this wasn't the first time it happened.
