Ch. 381..390
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 381-Leon Has Gone to Wexford The night at Peach Garden was exceptionally quiet, accompanied by the sounds of insects and birds. The natural atmosphere unconsciously brought a sense of tranquility.
However, Natalie could not have slept here if it weren’t for her extreme fatigue.
At some point, it didn’t matter how quiet the surroundings were. Whenever Cedric was around, nothing could suppress the turmoil in her heart.
In a daze, she felt someone moving her.
Opening her weary eyes, the man’s distinct profile under the warm orange glow appeared gentle, almost like a beautiful angel.
However, Natalie’s exhaustion vanished in this moment, replaced by a vigilant gaze fixed on Cedric. When she felt his movements, she immediately went from grogginess to alertness.
Slap!
A crisp sound of a slap echoed, landing heavily on the man’s face.
The air around them froze instantly.
The sound of insects became clearer at that moment. Even the slightest pin drop could be heard.
“You lunatic!” Natalie roared.
Images of what happened in the car filled her mind, intensifying the fierceness in her gaze as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Cedric held a tube of ointment, looking at her.
He smiled when he saw the fierce hatred in her eyes.
It was a chilling smile.
“What, I can’t touch?” he mocked.
When Natalie was quiet, Cedric felt guilt and pain. When he faced Natalie’s guarded gaze, he wished to tame her.
Equidn’t he?
Who could if he couldn’t?
Caleb 21 Natalie looked at the mockery in his eyes. There was already a fire in her eyes, but his words ignited it into a burning rage.
She raised her hand to slap him again, but Cedric caught her wrist.
“Still not enough?” “Don’t touch me!” Natalie hissed through gritted teeth.
It used to be a sweet memory when they were intimate in the past, but now… all it did wast make her current resistance and repulsion even stronger.
“Who can touch you, then?” Cedric’s tone was sharp and icy.
Natalie was silent.
Who could touch her?
“Anyone can, but not you. I don’t think you have the right to question me about this, right? What? Are you interrogating me now?” Natalie retorted.
Yes, he was interrogating her!
She could hear it in his tone.
What right did this man have to interrogate her?
Who did he think he was?!
“Natalie!” “Do I need to remind you? We’re divorced.” Natalie said, emphasizing the latter part of her sentence in a biting tone.
Cedric was silent.
Her words grated on his nerves. He harshly gripped Natalie’s chin with his slender fingers.
“Hah… If you didn’t remind me, I might have forgotten it!” “Then please remember it well from now on!” Natalie’s words were as icy as her gaze. “Don’t ever do such disgraceful things again.” They held each other’s gaze, and the coldness reflected in their eyes was like ice.
Cedric gripped her chin harder, and the resentment in Natalie’s eyes grew colder.
After a while, the man sneered and released her. He stood up and slammed the ointment onto The bedside table.
+25 BONUS He sarcastically asked, “Do you think Premier Garden can hold on for long? And Clyde…!” Thinking about Clyde, a chill filled Cedric’s heart When did Natalie’s life become so complicated?
Clyde was now living with the Jarvis family!
“Natalie, your uncle is a cunning old fox. You gave birth to Caleb’s child, and Clyde has moved into Lotus Villa. He really knows how to play his cards well.” The man’s tone was chilling. What was even colder… was Natalie’s heart.
Her gaze was heavy with resentment, and her l*ps were tightly pursed.
Her silence, in Cedric’s eyes, seemed like she was admitting to everything he said.
Bang!
Cedric slammed the door behind him, leaving behind a chilling atmosphere.
Natalie sat on the bed for a long time. Her expression became colder and more distant.
This was the relationship between her and Cedric, whether in this life or the past… There were plenty of misunderstandings that couldn’t be resolved and explanations that couldn’t be believed between them.
Was it because they were biased in their hearts?
Or was it…?
Natalie didn’t want to think about it..
Wasn’t it because of this that her passion and warmth towards him gradually faded?
Natalie called Julian.
When she went downstairs in her pajamas, she saw Kayla sipping water. Upon seeing Natalie, Kayla’s eyes flickered with fear.
Natalie averted her eyes after sparing the girl a glance. However, as she reached the doorway, she heard something fall and the sound of something shattering.
Natalie turned back to see the glass Kayla had been holding on the floor. The glass shards had cut her and left a bloodied streak on her small leg.
“Sob, sob…!” Kayla instantly burst into tears.
The servants who heard the commotion rushed out. When they saw Kayla’s injured state, the scene descended into chaos. novelbin Cedric also came down when he heard the noise.
As he ran towards Kayla, Natalie felt that his anxious demeanor was an eyesore “Daddy. Sob !” “What’s going on? How did she get hurt?” “Sob, sob…” Kayla looked at the doorway with a pitiful and aggrieved appearance.
Cedric followed her gaze and saw Natalie standing in the doorway with an indifferent expression.
At that moment…. his eyes were cold and filled with profound disappointment.
As Natalie observed the disappointment in his eyes, a mocking smile curled on her l*ps.
She turned around gracefully.
At that moment, her face was rigid and cold.
She left behind the chaos and exited the place!
The rage in Cedric’s chest intensified. His face grew colder, and his resentment flickered angrily in his eyes.
He only restrained himself because of Kayla.
Inside the car, Natalie stared at the dim lights outside in silence.
“Julian.” “Yes, Miss.” “Any news from Leon?” During this time, Leon was like a burden in her heart that she couldn’t put down.
So far, he hadn’t returned.
Julian responded, “Leon went to Wexford per Mr. Jarvis‘ instructions. He didn’t report to you. as it was an urgent matter.” Upon hearing this, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as it wasn’t related to Malcolm’s disappearance.
Bianca was now in Malcolm’s hands, and Natalie could sense her growing hatred towards Malcolm the last time they spoke.
Bianca wouldn’t leave!
But Natalie still felt uneasy.
“Keep an eye on Lord Malcolm’s side for me.” “Understood.” Julian nodded.
Bianca…!
Bianca was the strongest woman in Natalie’s heart. The fact that Malcolm had humiliated her so much… Natalie thought that Malcolm should pray that Bianca never found a way to turn the tables on him.
Otherwise, Bianca would undoubtedly bring about Malcolm’s downfall!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 382-Is He’s Threatening You?
Back at Lotus Villa, Clyde was still awake.
When Natalie entered, he was on the phone. His expression was unpleasant, and he seemed to have mentioned Wexford.
Natalie’s heart tightened once again.
When Clyde saw her, he hastily said something to the other end, then hung up and walked towards Natalie.
“Why are you back so late? And in your sleepwear?!” Clyde asked. 9 Instead of answering his question, Natalie changed the subject and asked, “Is there another issue in Wexford?” At the mention of Wexford, Clyde’s frown deepened. He wasn’t a talkative person, and he still needed some time to get used to the recent change in his status since coming to Simeria.
The only person he probably spoke more often to was Natalie. They looked identical and had been in the same space since the moment they came to life.
Even after being separated for so many years, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them, tugging at their hearts involuntarily.
“It’s not a big issue. You don’t need to worry,” Clyde said.
“Is it Cedric?” Natalie’s tone became sharper when she asked this question.
“Is he threatening you?” Clyde hissed through gritted teeth.
Natalie remained silent.
Watching the fleeting resentment in the man’s eyes, she smiled. She reached out and patted the man on his shoulder.
“You…!” Clyde started.
“Don’t worry, I’ve been through this with him for so many years. I’m almost used to it,” Natalie said.
The difference now was that there used to be a connection between them, and now there.
wasn’t.
So, her heart had grown cold.
None of the man’s actions could hurt her.
A flicker of anger and tenderness flashed in Clyde’s eyes involuntarily when he heard Natalie’s Clyde had someone investigate the days between Natalie and Cedric over the years.
“Don’t succumb to his threats. He’s just a mad dog causing trouble with his random bites,” Clyde advised “Pfft…” Hearing Clyde’s description of Cedric, Natalie couldn’t help but chuckle.
She had to admit that this description was quite accurate!
“Yes, he’s a mad dog!” “Get some sleep,” Clyde said.
It seemed he still had matters to attend to, so he picked up the phone and walked away.
Natalie’s eyes softened as she watched him walk away.
Yes, he was her brother.
Though Clyde seemed a bit reluctant, especially since he did his own DNA test after she told him about hers, it didn’t change the fact that they were siblings.
Back in her room, Luna was already asleep The nanny was by her side. When she saw Natalie enter, she greeted her respectfully, “Miss.” “You can get some rest. I’m here now.
“Yes, ma’am.” The nanny hurriedly left the room after her dismissal.
Luna’s face looked like a little angel in the dim light, and her innocent expression was truly charming Natalie hadn’t noticed it before. But now, she could see a trace of Cedric as she watched the peaceful expression on Luna’s face, especially in her small nose and mouth.
Luna was like a carbon copy of the man.
Images of what happened in Peach Garden lingered in her mind–Cedric protecting Kayla and how he looked at Natalie with those eyes…!
It was really too similar.
It was how he had looked at her when he was protecting Isabella back then.
How laughable!
Natalie took off her nightgown and threw it in the trash, cleaning herself thoroughly in the bathroom before coming out.
Cedric had given that to her in Peach Garden. She didn’t want anything that belonged to him..
She picked up Luna and listened to her warm and even breaths. She could even clearly hear Luna’s heartbeat.
“Sleep well, my little moon.” Natalie gently k*ssed Luna’s forehead, her and affection.
eyes full of tenderness Despite the annoyance caused by Cedric’s constant pestering during this time, it was also the happiest time for Natalie.
Being able to sleep with her child every night and feel the child’s breath and warmth was something she cherished.
But thinking about the potential challenges in the future, a hint of deep concern flashed in Natalie’s eyes.
However, it was followed by a firm resolve.
Early the next morning, around seven o’clock, Luna’s biological clock woke her up.
Crawling onto Natalie, she said, “Mama! Mama! Milk! Want milk!” Natalie opened her eyes groggily. She stared at Luna, who was lying on her, and her eyes softened.
She smiled. “Okay, wait a moment.” Placing Luna on the bed, Natalie got up and went downstairs to prepare milk.
Heather was already awake. When she saw Natalie, she was surprised.
“You came back last night?” “Yeah.” “I thought you wouldn’t come back. That’s why I had the nanny stay in the room with Luna.” Heather originally planned to have Luna spend the night with her. However, since they returned to Simeria, Luna surprisingly insisted on staying in Natalie’s room. So, she refused to sleep in Heather’s room last night.
Habits were terrifying, especially when it came to children. Heather couldn’t sleep in Natalie’s room, so she eventually let the dedicated nanny stay with the child.
While preparing milk for the child, Natalie said, I’ll be with Luna every night.” No matter how late, she would come back!
She probably felt this way because of a parent’s concern for their children and the children’s reliance on their parents!
Heather nodded but remained silent. The atmosphere at that moment was noticeably heavy.
Back in the room, Luna had a messy bedhead and was waiting on the bed. When Natalie handed over the milk bottle, Luna immediately rolled on the bed and drank. novelbin As Luna drank her milk, her little legs curled up in the air. Natalie’s heart couldn’t help but soften at the sight.
Just then, her phone on the bedside table vibrated The sudden noise startled Luna, and Natalie quickly picked up the phone. Seeing it was Cedric’s call, she instinctively hung up.
However, as s soon as she hung up, the man’s call came in again!
Natalie closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and answered, “Hello.” “Kayla’s wound from last night got infected, and she has a fever.” Natalie was speechless.
What wound?!
” She had seen what happened yesterday. It was just a scratch from the glass shards.
Could that cause an infection and fever?
Natalie coldly stated, “I didn’t hurt her!” Cedric acted like he always did when talking to her about Isabella.
However, Natalie was not the same as she was back then.
She was indifferent and cold when faced with questions like these now.
Cedric’s breathing seemed to become heavier on the other end of the line.
“I didn’t say you hurt her!” “Then why are you calling me like this? Aren’t you trying to imply that I hurt her? Otherwise, what’s the meaning of this?” The more she spoke, the more sarcastic Natalie’s tone became.
“Nat, why do you have to be like this?” “Is there something wrong with being like this?
How else did he expect her to act? Should she bow and submit to him like before?
What would she get in return?
Even if she explained in a weak and gentle manner like before, would he believe it?
No, he wouldn’t believe it at all!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 383-Past and Present Silence filled the air.
Even through the phone, one could feel the coldness of the confrontation between them.
After a while, Cedric took a deep breath and said, “Children are fragile when sick. She has been calling for you since she started to have a fever.” “She’s calling for her mother, not me.” Natalie’s tone grew colder.
To Cedric, Natalie’s current self seemed like a stranger. It felt as if they had never known each other.
“Kyle is on his way,” Cedric added as his tone became more assertive.
Natalie chuckled coldly.
“Why are you laughing?” Cedric asked.
“Cedric, do you know what you look like right now?” Before he could respond, Natalie continued, “You used to repeatedly force me to do things for her mother.” “Do you remember what you made me do? Her mother is now dead, so you’ll do anything for her child, huh?” The air fell silent once again.
Once, it was Isabella. Now, it was Isabella’s daughter!
The Cedric in this life…!
It seemed like he would never let go of Isabella in his heart.
It was silent for a long while. Just as Natalie was about to hang up, the man on the phone. spoke again, “Her name is Kayla.” “In her heart, you’re her mother!” “I’m not her mother!” Natalie exploded with anger and hung up the phone without another Word.
She wished she could scream, but she gritted her teeth and endured it because Luna was with Natalie could be kind to anyone, but never to Isabella’s daughter.
Even after hanging up the call for a long time, Natalie couldn’t calm herself.
No matter what her feelings for Cedric were now, a high wall seemed to rise in her heart whenever she thought of Isabella.
There seemed to be a voice in her consciousness that kept telling her it was impossible.
Completely impossible.
There was no chance she and Cedric would ever get back together.
Enough.
It was enough!
She had been burned alive twice, and she could still vividly remember the pain.
“Máma,” Luna called out to Natalie and handed her the empty milk bottle.
No matter how much anger Natalie harbored towards Cedric at that moment, seeing her child’s innocent eyes made it all disappear.
Shoving thoughts of Cedric completely from her mind, Natalie picked up Luna and went to the bathroom. She carefully washed Luna’s face and little bottom, applying lotion with great care.
She did everything meticulously.
“Mama!” Luna kept calling out for Natalie as she obediently stayed in her arms.
Natalie k*ssed her daughter and said, “My little princess is so cute.” After changing Luna into a pretty little dress and carefully arranging her hair, they headed downstairs. Heather couldn’t help but smile when she saw the adorable child.
“Come here, let me see,” Heather said.
“Okay.” Heather truly cared for the child. During the day, Luna remained quite attached to her. At the. breakfast table, however, both Clyde and Stephen were absent.
“Where are they?” Natalie asked, puzzled.
Normally, Stephen would be present for breakfast Heather replied, “I don’t know what they’ve been busy with lately. Cly and Stephen have been in and out. Oh, but let’s not bother about the men’s affairs,” Heather, perhaps now that Clyde had been found, was less concerned about external matters.
Wasn’t that what parents were like?
What else could bring greater happiness and content ment when their children were safe and sound by their side in their old age?
The nights of weeping were over for Heather. Now, she could enjoy spending time with her granddaughter.
When Clyde got married, there would be even more grandchildren to care for.
How wonderful…!
After breakfast, Stephen and Clyde returned. Their expression was somewhat unpleasant, and it was evident that something had happened outside.
Natalie glanced at Heather, but it seemed as though she hadn’t noticed or pretended not to.
She played with Luna, seemingly unbothered.
Natalie turned to the housekeeper and said, “Willow, please prepare some food for a late breakfast.” For Stephen and Clyde to have returned at this hour, they likely hadn’t eaten anything this morning.
Willow nodded.
In no time, Willow had prepared the food for Natalie. Natalie carried the tray upstairs. When she arrived at the study door, she found it slightly ajar.
She overheard Stephen’s solemn voice from inside, “Didn’t Nat tell him about your relationship with her?” Him? Who?
Clyde responded, “Don’t bother about him.” “Still…” “I know what you’re worried about, but Cedric is unsuitable for her.” Clyde interrupted before Stephen could finish.
Natalie was silent.
Stephen was referring to Cedric!
What had Cedric done to Clyde?!
Thinking back to the morning’s argument over the phone, Natalie’s heart sank Cedric! He..!
Before she entered, she heard Clyde continue, “That person is too extreme. We shouldn’t let her know for now. She finally has some time to spend with the child.” Clyde’s tone was grave.
Stephen also nodded, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.
Indeed, the pressure Natalie had been under for the past two years was beyond words.
Now that she finally had time to spend with Luna, they should let her have some peace.
Natalie quietly went downstairs. When Willow saw Natalie bringing down the breakfast untouched, she was puzzled.
“Miss, what’s the matter?” “Willow, I’m not feeling well. Please take it up for me.” Natalie said, putting down the tray and walking towards the door without waiting for Willow’s response.
Willow looked bewildered.
Julian wasn’t around, so Natalie had the driver take her directly where she wanted to go.
When she arrived at Peach Garden, the butler informed her that Cedric had stayed with Kayla in her room the entire night.
Anger surged in Natalie’s chest.
She headed upstairs and directly to Kayla’s room.
Standing at the door, she saw Cedric carefully feeding Kayla soup. The tenderness in his eyes was almost overflowing.
“Well, aren’t you just so caring!” Natalie sarcastically remarked, shattering the harmonious scene inside → Cedric and Kayla turned their heads to look at Natalie simultaneously.
Natalie stepped into the room, her heels clicking in a muffled sound against the carpet.
When Cedric saw the coldness in Natalie’s eyes, he furrowed his brows. Kayla sensed the danger emanating from Natalie and instinctively moved behind Cedric, seemingly afraid.
It appeared as though she feared Natalie.
‘Don’t be afraid,” Cedric reassured Kayla softly and stepped forward to face Natalie.
In his eyes, there was a warning.
Why?
Was it because Kayla feared her?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 384-Bianca Got Married?!
“Let’s talk outside!” Cedric said as he grabbed her wrist and walked towards the door.
However, Natalie shook his hand off. She looked at Kayla with a mocking glint in her eyes.
She had to admit that Cedric was really good to Isabella’s daughter. Every detail in this room showed careful consideration.
Natalie’s mockery became more apparent as she said, “You’ve done so much to Cly and Caleb just to force me to see her, right?” Cedric was silent.
Cly?! Caleb?!
The chill that was already present in the man intensified when he heard Natalie’s sudden reference to Clyde and Caleb.
The look in his eyes towards her became colder.
Natalie walked past him and approached the bed Looking down at Kayla lying on the bed, Natalie’s eyes were filled with disdain.
Seeing Natalie’s gaze, Kayla subconsciously didn’t dare to move. When Cedric saw Kayla instinctively curled into herself, his anger rose again.
“Natalie.” His tone became heavier.
Natalie sat in the chair Cedric had just vacated and picked up the small bowl he had left behind. There was still some soup left in it. Scooping up a spoonful, she brought it to Kayla’s mouth and said coldly, “Open your mouth.” At this moment, her sharp tone and dangerous gaze seemed as if she were feeding Kayla poison.
Kayla was afraid and dared not open her mouth. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
When he saw how sad Kayla looked, Cedric’s anger burst forth!
“Natalie, you-” Natalie coldly interrupted him before he could finish his sentence, “What, is this wrong?” Cedric fell silent.
The atmosphere in the room became colder and more dangerous.
They stood there, frozen, and the one suffering the most was probably Kayla.
Cedric couldn’t restrain his anger anymore.
He stepped forward and pulled Natalie up from the chair before angrily saying, “Outside! Now!
Clank!
The bowl fell to the carpet, and the soup splattered all over. In an instant, the room was a mess.
“Sob, sob!” After such a commotion, Kayla was scared and started crying.
Charlotte used to care for her. As a servant, Charlotte specifically stayed with her, so she never encountered such scenes.
But since coming here, she has experienced the beginning of life’s trials.
First, there was the rumored disapproval of her mother. Then, she witnessed the discord between her parents.
These scenes made her feel frightened and unbearable.
When Cedric heard Kayla’s crying, his anger towards Natalie rose. Finally, he pushed Natalie away forcefully.
He approached Kayla and gently drew her into his arms. “Shh, it’s okay, Kayla.” However, no matter how he comforted her, Kayla seemed not to hear. She trembled violently as she sobbed.
“Get out!” Cedric roared at Natalie, finally unable to hold back his anger.
Natalie stared into Cedric’s cold eyes and felt that everything was just as it should be. In the past, he looked at her with such eyes because of Isabella.
Now, he was doing the same because of Isabella’s daughter.
Once, she used to be so heartbroken when he looked at her this way.
No one knew what kind of pain Natalie endured during that time. This man was her husband, and he didn’t understand her at all.
They had been so close, but he was like a blind man. He was never able to see the sorrow she hid Inside.
And now, he attempted to add more pain to her life because of Isabella’s daughter?!
It was different now.
His gaze remained the same, but Natalie had changed.
She coldly declared, “Since you’re asking me to leave, don’t ask me to see her ever again!” With that said, she turned around without hesitation.
However, a chilling voice came from behind her, If you don’t know how to get along with her, don’t appear in Peach Garden again.” Hearing this, she paused. Her already cold heart was now shrouded in anger.
Even at this stage, that man still insisted?!
She had truly underestimated Cedric.
Unyielding to the end!
The threat in his words was evident.
While Natalie thought things through, Caleb and Clyde wouldn’t have easy days during this time.
Even though Cedric couldn’t uproot them directly, he would surely do it gradually.
Natalie turned slightly, the cold glint in her eyes shining brightly as she hissed, “Cedric, we’re enemies from now on!” Must it come to such a point?
Fine!
Then why not go completely crazy?
Having said her piece, Natalie turned away without another glance at Cedric. Her heavy footsteps echoed her inner turmoil.
After Natalie left, only Cedric and Kayla remained in the room.
Kayla continued to tremble in Cedric’s arms, evidently frightened.
“Shh, it’s okay!” Cedric softly comforted.
However, for Kayla, there was no easing. The more she reacted this way, the angrier Cedric becarne.
Natalie was different now!
She had truly changed…!
How could she be like this?
Kayla was just a child, yet she…?
However, Cedric didn’t know how much hurt Natalie had endured from Isabella in the past.
That resentment extended to her daughter, and it was so profound that Natalie couldn’t even put on a facade.
In the car, Natalie received a call from Bianca.
From the other end of the line, Bianca said, “Nat, I got married!” “… Who did you marry?!” Natalie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Bianca’s words. She had suffered too much from the painful outcome of marriage. So, having gone through such suffering, she didn’t see marriage as something desirable.
Because of that, she didn’t wish the same for Bianca, especially since Bianca was currently entangled with Malcolm.
What kind of marriage would that be?
It was hard to imagine.
However, Bianca surprised her when she continued, “I married the Entes family’s seventh son, Zane!” Natalie was stunned. novelbin There was a moment when she couldn’t process it Zane… Zane…?!
This name kept echoing in Natalie’s mind, and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.
The seventh lord of the Entes family, Zane!
Who could have thought that this mysterious seventh lord was once Natalie’s most reliable assistant?
Of course, now wasn’t the time to dwell on Zane’s identity.
The most important thing was Bianca’s situation!
Bia, you… What?!” Natalie wanted to say something, but she couldn’t find the right words.
The seventh lord… was the sixth lord’s younger brother!
Wasn’t Bianca trapped by Malcolm’s side?
How did she end up getting involved with the seventh lord?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 385-Irreconcilable Differences “Why don’t you come and have a drink tonight with me? Even though there’s no wedding, I still hope you can enjoy the happiness of my marriage,” Bianca said calmly over the phone.
However, Natalie sensed bitterness beneath this calmness. She had witnessed the entanglement between Bianca and Malcolm firsthand and had experienced Malcolm’s dreadful side.
Yet now, out of the blue, Blanca had married Zane?!
In this short span of time, what had transpired?
Marriage had always been sacred in Bianca’s eyes, influenced by her past profession.
Natalie knew that Bianca and Zane weren’t close. So, what had Malcolm done to push Bianca, who had always regarded marriage highly, into marrying the seventh lord?
“Where are you staying now?” “I’m your neighbor. I’m staying behind Hillside Villa.” “Alright, I got it.” The area around Hillside Estate had four directions. Natalie occupied the east side and was unaware of who resided in the remaining three.
Unexpectedly, the seventh lord was at her back.
Zane!
After ending the call, Natalie couldn’t come to her senses for a long time. The seventh lord was a mysterious figure. Yet, he had been working in the inner parts of Regal Horizons International all this while.
In that case… What was his purpose for staying at Natalie’s side?
When Natalie arrived at Lotus Villa, she still hadn’t returned to her senses.
Clyde was out, leaving only Stephen in the villa.
Stephen frowned when he saw Natalie coming in. “Did you go to see him again?” “Dad” “Did you two argue again?” Stephen continued to ask.
Natalie was silent.
She didn’t say a word.
Since Kayla came to Cedric’s side, Stephen had not met up with Cedric again.
Natalie didn’t want her family to worry about these matters. She merely said, “I’ll handle it.” Having said that, she escaped and went upstairs Stephen watched Natalie’s retreating figure and sighed, unsure of what to say.
The entanglement between her and Cedric had been going on for so many years.
And Cedric… everything he did now seemed evil. To put it bluntly, there were no limits to what he would do. Everything he did now was to force Natalie to return to his side.
However, how would he achieve that?
Stephen frowned when he recalled Cedric’s words. Regardless of what Isabella had let go of in the final moments, or what sacrifices she made for Natalie, the harm she had done to Natalie was something Natalie could never forget in her lifetime.
As a result, Natalie couldn’t let go of everything.
Cedric, on the other hand, not only wanted Natalie by his side but also wanted her to accept that child.
However, he was well aware that what Isabella had sacrificed for Natalie was nowhere near enough to make amends for the harm done to her.
It was an incredibly difficult task.
Now, he seemed to have run out of options regarding Natalie.
After returning to her room, Natalie looked through a document. She picked up the phone and called Caleb.
He answered promptly, “Hello.” “Where are you?” “You…” “Are you still at Engel International Hotel?” “Yes.” “I’ll come see you right away.” Without waiting for Caleb’s response, Natalie hung up the phone. She changed into a different outfit before leaving.
As she reached the main gate, Clyde returned from outside. He stepped down from the Maybach, radiating an air of elegance. Yet, within that sophistication, there was an undeniable.
sense of hurt.
“Are you going out?” Clyde asked.
“Yes, just a quick trip,” Natalie replied.
“What’s it about?” “I have to meet a friend. Dad is at home. You can go in.” Natalie didn’t answer Clyde’s question directly. Having said that, she turned to leave. However, after taking just a few steps, Clyde’s voice reached her ears.
“If you want to continue life like this with your daughter, stop getting involved with Cedric.” Natalie was silent.
Stop getting involved with Cedric?
She never wanted to get involved with him!
Yet, it seemed like he was an ever–present specter, always disturbing her world.
“If he finds out about the child, you’re well aware of what he’s capable of.” Indeed, Natalie was well aware.
Once Cedric learned about Luna’s existence, he would undoubtedly do unbearable things to Natalie.
“I understand,” Natalie said in a grave tone.
However, just as she took a few steps forward, Clyde spoke again.
“Also, be wary of Abigail. I hope you understand.
Natalie was silent.
Abigail Schneider!
What kind of existence was that woman?
It was similar to Jocelyn in Rebecca’s eyes back then.
So, it would be better if Natalie didn’t get involved with her, the situation in Wexford, or the person behind.Cedric!
Otherwise, she would repeat the mistakes she made in the Johnson family.
“I understand. You can rest assured.” Natalie didn’t want to discuss Cedric or anyone else. Right now, she only knew one thing–she had to quickly resolve the issue with Caleb.
As for Clyde, Stephen was there. So, it wouldn’t be a major problem.
But Caleb was innocent.
This matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible!
At the presidential suite in Engel International, Natalie and Caleb sat opposite each other. Natalie handed the documents she brought to Caleb.
“These documents are related to Mr. Shaw’s company in Wexford,” she said.
Caleb frowned.
“What’s this?” “There was a discussion with Regal Horizons about supplying them raw materials before, but ultimately, we didn’t take the deal because Simeria’s resources may not meet his requirements. However, I remember Verde City is completely suitable.” Every word Natalie had a purpose. Everything detailed in the document was a record of their previous discussion. Giving this to Caleb would make his work much easier.
“Natalie,” Caleb said hoarsely.
The next moment, Natalie handed another document to Caleb. “If you find something you like, consider it the initiation of this project.” “You…” “I’ll assist you as your shareholder and ensure the success of your collaboration with Mr. Shaw.
Her tone was resolute.
She knew that Cedric’s recent erratic behavior had caused significant losses for Caleb. If Caleb managed to secure a collaboration with Cody Shaw, initiating this project would compensate Caleb threefold.
“You don’t have to do this,” Caleb said seriously “I apologize for Cedric’s actions,” Natalie said, ignoring his words. Her tone became heavy when she mentioned Cedric.
Clearly, these recent events with Cedric had given her quite a headache.
Wheri Caleb heard Cedric’s name, his expression instinctively darkened. Then he said, “It might not be easy for you to escape him.
Natalie had also realized the difficulty of this matter.
She took a deep breath and said, “Things between us ended a long time ago.” Though she said that…!
Everyone around Natalie knew that Cedric’s recent and crazy actions… made it clear that he wasn’t willing to let her go.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 386-The Proof from Yesterday After meeting Caleb, Natalie headed straight to Versant Villa in Hillside Estate, where Bianca. was waiting When she arrived, she saw Zane getting into a car.
Zane looked dignified and imposing, and he was wearing a dark windbreaker. He exuded a chilling aura, his gaze cold and distant.
This vibe was unique to the Entes family. Natalie had felt it before from the fifth and sixth lords.
Now, she was feeling it from the seventh lord, Zane Entes.
As the convoy passed by her, the car window slightly lowered. Zane’s cold, piercing eyes met hers, sending shivers down Natalie’s spine.
This wasn’t the Zane she remembered.
He was no longer Zane Jacobs, her assistant, but Zane Entes, the Entes family’s seventh son!
The car halted, and he said in a deep voice, “She’s waiting for you.” “I see,” Natalie responded, unsure how to address the current Zane.
Zane’s l*ps curled into a faint smile. At that moment, Natalie felt he was even more mysterious than before.
Then, he left.
When Natalie entered the villa, she found Bianca preparing for the evening, despite their meeting being scheduled for later. The festive decorations within the villa gave Natalie a sense of sadness as she looked at Bianca’s lonely silhouette.
“Nat?” Bianca was surprised to see Natalie so early. As they embraced, Natalie struggled with her conflicting emotions.
She felt she couldn’t protect Bianca any more.
Bianca ushered Natalie to a seat, had a servant prepare tea, and then personally brewed it.
Observing her skilled movements, Natalie was both amazed and touched. She’d always seen Bianca as a strong, competent woman, not someone who would master such delicate arts.
“Why learn all this?” Natalie remembered when Bianca couldn’t even cook a proper meal.
Yet here she was, demonstrating newfound skills Bianca remained graceful as she poured Natalie a cup of tea. Her smile was deep and Natalie took a sip. She was no stranger to tea, and she was quite well–versed in it. Back when she was with Cedric, she used to stay alone in Scarlet Villa. On the days she didn’t need to be at the Johnson Manor, she used to indulge in her love for gardening and tea.
“Not bad,” Natalie remarked on the tea’s taste, her tone tinged with a hint of bitterness.
Bianca’s smile widened, and it was imbued with more depth and complexity.
“Did you already register your marriage?” Natalie asked.
“Yeah, we did it yesterday.” Bianca nodded in confirmation.
Natalie was silent.
They had gotten married just yesterday!
“Why?” Natalie asked hoarsely, her voice tinged with concern.
“Nat, as I told you before, I won’t let him get away…..
Bianca was referring to Malcolm!
Natalie’s heart clenched painfully when she heard Bianca’s words. “But you don’t have to sacrifice your entire life for revenge.
“Nat, you just don’t understand.” Bianca interrupted Natalie before she could continue.
Natalie was silent.
No, she understood all too well!
She had once foolishly entered the maze of marriage for love!
She wanted to reciprocate Cedric’s kindness and had done everything to win his family’s favor.
But what did she gain in the end?
Before Natalie could respond, Bianca continued, “After Malcolm took me away, my future was completely ruined. What do I have left in life?” Natalie’s heart tightened further upon hearing Bianca’s pain. She had only known that Malcolm trapped Bianca, but she hadn’t realized the extent to which he had destroyed her life.
Bianca would never have a chance to further her career again. Her achievements as a law firm partner that she had obtained through her hard work… Malcolm had ruthlessly destroyed it all.
Even if Malcolm let her go in the end, Bianca’s expertise would no longer be useful.
When he was ruthless, he really went all out. It was to the point that Bianca didn’t have any room to resist.
“Bia,” Natalie began, her voice filled with sympathy for Bianca, much like Bianca had shown her in the past.
“Enough with the gloom,” Bianca interjected. “You have no idea how furious he was yesterday when he found out about my marriage to his brother.” Natalie was silent.
she dared not imagine!
It must have been a bloody battlefield, and only Bianca dared to do such a thing!
Bianca looked at Natalie and asked, “Nat, he didn’t cause you too much harm before, did he?” Before?
During the time when Natalie had compromised with Malcolm to save Bianca, she had indeed given in to many of his demands.
Yet, Natalie had managed to infuriate him deeply then.
“Not really,” Natalie admitted, “Just a bit of trouble.” But for Bianca, what was a little trouble?
It was only regrettable that she couldn’t ensure Bianca’s escape from Simeria to a life of freedom despite her efforts.
“Don’t worry,” Bianca reassured, determination evident in her eyes. “No matter how much you’ve lost, I’ll help you reclaim everything!” “Bia, stop provoking him!” Natalie exclaimed.
Natalie’s heart tightened when she heard Bianca’s words. From an outsider’s perspective, Natalie saw more than anyone the terrifying nature of Malcolm.
That man was detestable!
If she were in Bianca’s shoes, she’d wish nothing more than to see Malcolm suffer.
But more than anything, she wanted Bianca to be safe.
Malcolm was just too dangerous.
“Oh, you… You’re just too timid,” Blanca remarked.
Natalie fell silent..
At Bianca’s words, Natalie felt a suffocating sensation.
Was Bianca right? Was she always afraid of confrontation?
Back in the Johnson family, she had been cautious Even during her two years at Regal Horizons International, every move she made was calculated and careful.
Had Cedric faced someone like Bianca back then, would Rebecca have dared to act so recklessly?
Considering Bianca’s fiery temperament, she would have probably retaliated fiercely against Rebecca, even if it meant angering Cedric.
“I’ve heard rumors about Isabella having a daughter. Is that true?” Bianca instantly turned serious at the change in topic.
Natalie was silent.
Her already uneasy expression grew graver upon hearing Isabella’s name. The weight in her heart grew heavier.
Bianca continued, “Don’t tell me that shameless man who once shielded Isabella now wants you to accept her daughter?” Bia!” “Seriously?” Natalie’s hesitation betrayed her true feelings.
Given the many years of understanding between them, Bianca could read Natalie with just a glance.
Natalie fell silent while Bianca’s anger climbed higher.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 387-Bianca’s Anger Blanca’s voice seethed with rage as she exclaimed, “Why didn’t you just get rid of that child?” The fury in her tone was unmistakable.
Cedric seemed to be an ever–present figure in Natalie’s life. First, he mistreated Natalie, and now he pulled this move.
Natalie sighed. “She’s just a child.” While she had reservations about Kayla and didn’t particularly want to be around her, she didn’t harbor the same extreme feelings as Bianca “Why doesn’t he just leave with that child?” Bianca’s anger was as clear as day. If Isabella’s daughter meant so much to Cedric, he should spend his life with her!
Compared to Bianca’s fiery temper, Natalie appeared more composed.
“It’s up to him wherever he chooses to go with the child.” “You’re really okay with that?” “Yes,” Natalie responded.
Aside from the discomfort she felt when Isabella’s name was mentioned, she remained.
unfazed.
“But with him here in Simeria and close to you, there are bound to be complications,” Biancal warned.
Natalie nodded silently. That was indeed her primary concern.
“Enough about Cedric,” Natalie said, trying to steer the conversation away. She didn’t want to dwell on him. “Let’s talk about you and Zane.” This was an unexpected twist for Natalie. She had often wondered how Bianca would escape Malcolm’s clutches, but she hadn’t expected this.
Seeing Zane earlier, she sensed a wild unpredictability about him. “Why would he agree to this?” Zane wasn’t someone easily controlled. Yet, in a short span, he had agreed to marry Bianca!
Although the seventh lord had always been enigmatic, Natalie had heard rumors. Rumors had it that while the seventh and sixth Lords were close, the fifth and sixth were always at each other’s throats.
Given the dynamics, why would Bianca align with Zane? It would make more sense for her to have joined forces with the fifth lord instead!
“The Entes family isn’t exactly unified right now.” Bianca remarked tersely.
Natalie pondered, realizing that perhaps rumors were just that–rumors.
Were they truly unreliable?
“Then why did he agree?” “Because of Frederick,” Bianca replied.
Natalie’s mind reeled, trying to process this new revelation.
“Frederick?” The mysterious figure by Irwin’s side, holding that crucial half of the documents?
“What’s your connection with Frederick?” Natalie asked.
Things were spiraling out of control.
For the seventh lord of the Entes family to marry Bianca because of Frederick implied that there was some deep connection between Frederick and Bianca.
But how?
“Natalie, in this world, nothing is impossible. That half of the document holds significant importance for every lord of the Entes family,” Bianca responded solemnly.
“And your relationship with Frederick?” As Natalie posed the question, her heart raced.
When she first learned of Frederick, she understood his significance to every lord of the Entes family and what he represented for Simeria and even Wexford.
Knowing Malcolm, Cedric, and now Irwin were all searching for Frederick made it evident he was of unparalleled importance.
Bianca’s claim that her marriage to the seventh lord was tied to Frederick only deepened the mystery.
What was their connection?
The more Natalie thought about it, the tighter the knot in her stomach became.
She began to fear that Bianca had unknowingly entered a dangerous situation and might never escape.
“Bia The silence from Blanca seemed to confirm Natalie’s worst fears. Her voice trembled with unease Bianca said, “Let’s not discuss this further.” “Then what about Lord Malcolm? Is he…” Natalie trailed off and hesitated.
She remembered how Malcolm had once been determined to tear Bianca apart because of Faye.
To Natalie, Bianca’s new alliance with the seventh lord didn’t signify the end of her troubles with Malcolm.
Instead, it might be the start of something even more perilous.
Thinking about the challenges Bianca would inevitably face made Natalie’s anxiety skyrocket.
“Bia, do you have to do this?” Natalie pleaded, hoping against hope that Bianca might consider leaving Simeria.
Simeria was extremely chaotic right now!
Recent events in Wexford had disrupted the calm they’d enjoyed for two years. Things were starting to move in Simeria due to that.
Now, Natalie genuinely feared for Bianca’s safety.
“Nat, I understand your concern for me, but I can’t leave. Do you know what would happen if I did? I’d die!” Bianca replied.
“You…!” “Did you know? Malcolm wanted to use me to save Faye’s sister, Jade,” Bianca revealed.
Natalie’s expression shifted dramatically, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Bianca’s calm countenance. novelbin Natalie couldn’t fathom the emotions Bianca must have felt at that time. Yet now, as Bianca spoke of it, her tone remained eerily calm.
Evidently, she had strategized with Zane and was plotting against Malcolm.
“He actually…!” “Jade was suffering from a severe kidney ailment. What’s the difference between using me to save her and killing me?” Bianca’s voice remained steady.
“He dared to?!” ‘What wouldn’t he dare to do? So, Nat, when I weigh my life and future against fate, these: things seem trivial,” Bianca articulated each word with profound insight, as if she had seen through the intricacies of life.
Such deep–seated pain made Natalie’s heart clench. Previously, she had only seen Malcolm’s vengeful side, unaware of his more sinister intentions behind the polished facade.
The composed manner in which Bianca spoke now was chilling.
But who knew what else Malcolm had forced Bianca to do back then?!
Each word that Bianca spoke tore at Natalie’s mind and caused an unbearable ache in her chest.
“Bia…” Natalie began again, her voice filled with evident pain.
“He ruined my life and future for Faye, and then he wanted to end my life for Faye’s sister!” “Nat, did I give him the impression that I’m weak?” Natalie was speechless.
Weak?!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 388-Rare Moments of Joy Of course not!
Right from the start, Natalie knew Malcolm should pray that he never gave Bianca a chance to turn things around.
Otherwise, chaos would ensue in Simeria.
Given the circumstances, Natalie knew persuading Bianca to leave Simeria she did, as Bianca mentioned, she’d have no future and certainly no freedom.
was futile. Even if Given Malcolm’s intense vendetta against her because of Faye, Bianca would be hunted down no matter where she went.
At that time, the fate awaiting her would be unimaginable.
“Bia,” Natalie murmured, looking at Bianca and feeling the weight of their situation.
Marriage and men were intricate webs. Once trapped, escape might be impossible.
These were things that women should not easily get involved with. Once involved, it would be irreparable and beyond redemption if they made the wrong choice.
“You can’t drink now, right?” Bianca asked as she gently caressed Natalie’s cheek with elegant fingers.
Natalie replied, “Just a little.” Although it was a celebration for Bianca, she insisted Natalie not overindulge. “How about teal instead of wine tonight? Don’t go home if I don’t get drunk. What do you say?” A bitter smile crept onto Natalie’s l*ps as she nodded in agreement. “Deal.” How long had it been since they had a drink together?
In better times, when Natalie was healthier, they’d indulge whenever Bianea had time. Bianca had once said Natalie’s days with the Johnson family were unbearable and that Natalie needed an escape.
Otherwise, she would succumb to depression sooner or later.
The villa’s lights shone brightly at night. Natalie adjusted her special glasses to mitigate the harsh lighting.
“Nat, I wish I could tear him apart, you know?” Bianca’s words were slurred, and she was obviously already tipsy.
“I feel the same,” Natalie whispered.
Holding Blanca, she gently took away the glass. “Bia, you’ve had enough.” “Just this once, let me enjoy,” Blanca pleaded.
“Bia,” “Nat, just wait. One day, I’ll skin him alive with my own hands!” Bianca grabbed the glass from Natalie and downed the remainder of the wine.
Seeing the fierce determination in Bianca’s eyes, Natalie said, “When the time comes, I’ll hand you the sharpest blade.” “You’re the best, Nat,” Bianca mumbled snuggling closer.
Right now, Bianca needed someone to understand her and go along with her wishes.
Encouraging her to leave would only darken her mood.
Having seen the pain Bianca had experienced beside Malcolm, Natalie knew Bianca wouldn’t think of leaving if she couldn’t drag the man down to hell with her.
“Nat.” “Yes?” “Faye is despicable! She betrayed the sanctity of marriage, manipulating men like Malcolm, They’re both treacherous!” Bianca spat out with disdain.
Natalie remained silent.
She had witnessed Bianca’s talent for hurling insults before. Given her current feelings towards Malcolm, she anticipated Bianca’s verbal onslaughts in future confrontations.
Bianca was intoxicated and continued ranting, “That woman dared to question my work! As a lawyer, I uphold fairness and justice in marriage. She was caught cheating multiple times, and then she blamed me?!” The more Bianca spoke, the more frenzied she became. It was as if she’d tear Faye apart if given the chance.
“Enough,” Natalie intervened.
“Do you know why the seventh lord agreed to work with me?” Bianca asked.
“Because of Frederick?” 6200 “No, it’s because I despise Malcolm! And all those ridiculous rumors! Zane can’t stand him either! He wishes Malcolm were dead!‘ Natalie was silent, but she was taken aback.
Rumors?!
Indeed, the rumors always depicted Malcolm and Zane as close allies. But Bianca’s revelation suggested deeper secrets that no one on the outside knew about.
Given the intricate relationships within the Entes family, it seemed impossible for any of the lords to be on good terms with each other. novelbin When Zane returned, Bianca was already heavily intoxicated.
When Zane saw Natalie, his brows furrowed in concern. The servants saw Zane had returned and hurriedly assisted the drunken Bianca upstairs.
Zane’s expression remained stern as he watched Natalie and finally asked, “Your eyes….haven’t you undergone surgery for them?” Natalie replied with a sigh, “If I regain my sight, won’t someone else be plunged into darkness? I can still see somewhat. It’s better than nothing.” She understood the depths of darkness, having experienced it firsthand. Despite knowing the Jarvis family could arrange her surgery, she hesitated, unwilling to let another suffer as she had.
“I never imagined the esteemed Lord Zane was once my assistant,” Natalie confessed, her voice quivering.
At her words, Zane’s frown deepened.
“Your uncle was always aware,” he replied.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 389-What She Wants Just as they left Hillside Estate and reached the foot of the mountain, the car stopped.
The driver exclaimed, “Ms. Walker…” Ahead, a Phantom obstructed their path, preventing them from reaching the main road. Despite the darkness, Natalie’s blurred vision could discern that the car belonged to Cedric A chill ran down her spine.
With a thud, Cedric emerged from his vehicle and approached her side. The driver recognized him, and an underlying tension filled the air.
“Ms. Walker, we can turn around and…!” “No need,” Natalie said.
If Cedric had gone to such lengths to corner her here, what more could he be capable of? Before she could react further, Cedric had already opened her car door, his demeanor hinting at an unspoken dominance.
In the presence of Zane’s driver, Natalie maintained her composure. She calmly exited the vehicle and entered Cedric’s car.
Then, they drove silently towards Peach Garden.
Over time, Natalie had noticed that conversing with Cedric invariably sparked anger within her.
He, in turn, would become uncontrollable, like a raging beast. She discreetly texted Julian to prepare to pick her up from Peach Garden.
As they neared their destination, Cedric finally broke the silence, “I thought you wouldn’t see Caleb again.” Natalie smirked coldly. “Oh, did you now?” Given his relentless pursuit of Caleb and his attempt to keep him away from her, it was ironic that he should comment now.
In Cedric’s perspective, Natalie was someone who cared deeply and wouldn’t risk harm to others.
The current circumstances perplexed him.
She had said she would never see Caleb again, but she actually…!
What was the logic behind her actions right now Did she intend to reveal the truth about her child to Caleb?
And then what?
Would she marry Caleb to protect him with Regal Horizons International’s power?
These thoughts swirled in Cedric’s mind, intensifying his anger.
“What’s your next move?” he demanded icily.
She replied calmly, “I thought you didn’t have time for me?” Her tone contrasted sharply with his restrained fury.
When Cedric met her eyes, his gaze was sharp and menacing.
She met his stare defiantly with a mocking smile on her l*ps. “What, am I wrong?” That was right!
Where would he have the time to care what Natalie did?
While causing upheaval outside, he played the doting father to Isabella’s daughter at Peach Garden. novelbin “Natalie,” he warned, “Stay away from Caleb.” She remained silent.
His voice dropped lower, “And I suggest Clyde leave Simeria soon, or else…” He trailed off, but the tangible danger emanating from him left an ominous feeling in the air.
After saying that, the man stepped out of his car He swung open Natalie’s car door, grabbing her wrist and pulling her out with such force that she nearly stumbled. In the next moment, Cedric swiftly scooped her into his arms.
“What are you doing?” she exclaimed.
“I’ve brought you here, haven’t I? What do you think?” he retorted.
“You…!” “How long did you spend with Caleb at the hotel today?” “Let go of me!” With a swift motion, Natalie slapped Cedric across the face.
His expression instantly darkened.
His gaze upon her became even sharper.
As he carried her further inside, Cedric whispered, “Since you’ve seen Bianca, you must know the predicament she’s in. Pass on a message from me, hmmm?” “Tell her not to confront Lord Malcolm head–on. She should abandon her schemes. She’s no match for him.” Getting Bianca to abandon her plans?
Natalie knew that wouldn’t be easy. Bianca’s resentment towards Cedric was deep–rooted. Convincing her on this matter might be a challenge, especially if she knew the warning came from Cedric.
When Cedric carried Natalie inside, Kayla was still awake. She was seated at the dining table and nibbling on some fruits, her pallor unmistakably pale from a fever.
Upon seeing Kayla, Natalie’s expression darkened considerably. Sensing Natalie’s changed demeanor, the young girl visibly recoiled in fear Cedric looked down at the woman in his arms.
“Nat,” he said, a hint of exasperation in his voice.
Honestly, Natalie wasn’t much taller than Kayla. In terms of temperament, she often acted quite childish in Cedric’s eyes.
Natalie averted her gaze from Kayla and ignored Cedric. There wasn’t anything for her and Cedric to discuss at this moment.
Cedric wouldn’t ignore Kayla, and how he decided to treat the young girl had nothing to do with Natalie.
Eventually, Cedric brought Natalie to the infirmary.
Seeing the medical team dressed in white coats, Natalie was stunned.
“What’s going on?” At that moment, alarm bells rang loudly in her mind.
What else could Cedric’s medical team do to her?
Other than forcing her to do things against her will, she didn’t expect anything else from. them!
Didn’t those people from her previous life also do the same? They were all Cedric’s people!
And after her interaction with them, she could no longer see anything.
Cedric glanced at her and said, “We’ve found a donor for your eyes. We need to conduct some tests before the surgery.” Natalie fell silent.
Surgery?
A chill ran up her spine at the term.
She looked at Cedric, her eyes filled with scorn.
Cedric reached for her hand and said gently, “Didn’t you mention wanting the surgery as soon as possible last time?” At that time, it was a transaction between Rebecca and Isabella. Rebecca was the one who had found a donor for Isabella.
Back then, Natalie had mentioned it merely to make Cedric realize her feelings.
But now… Hah!
“Surgery?” “Nat.” “What, you have time now?” Cedric was silent.
When he heard her words, a hard lump formed in his throat.
Her smile was now cold and sinister. “Cedric, do you really think I need you to arrange surgery for me?” What did she truly desire?
He had never understood her.
Now that everything else was taken care of, he finally had time to attend to her?!
The irony of it all!
“Nat, you…!” “Hmph.” Natalie scoffed and turned away.
When she turned around, she pursed her l*ps tightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Oh, Cedric. He was seriously so…!
Were the sins in their previous life still not resolved yet?
What did he think she wanted?
During the incident with Isabella, she merely wanted Cedric to realize what place Natalie held in his heart!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 390-She’s Just a Child Isabella always held the most prominent place in his heart.
What had he said back then? He said that Natalie wouldn’t owe Isabella anything else after she gave up her eves for her.
What a joke!
If Natalie had wanted surgery, she would have undergone it long ago.
Why wait until now?
When Natalie exited the medical room, Kayla stood in the hallway. Upon seeing her, Kayla approached with evident nervousness and apprehension.
“Mommy.” Natalie was silent, but the child’s persistence in calling her Mommy genuinely made her feel pity for the girl.
Kayla Walker had been the child’s name since she could remember, and it was possible… That her birth had been planned a long time ago.
Perhaps Kayla was a pawn from the very start.
When Cedric emerged, he saw Kayla cautiously reaching out to hold Natalie’s hand, her eyes full of hope and anticipation.novelbin The moment Natalie felt Kayla touch her, especially noticing Kayla’s striking resemblance to Isabella, she impulsively raised her hand to get away.
Kayla was caught unaware by the sudden movement and fell to the ground.
Cedric’s eyes narrowed.
“Natalie!” His furious shout echoed throughout the villa, leading to another chaotic scene.
The servant responsible for Kayla’s care rushed forward, cradling the frightened child.
‘Madam, what are you doing? She’s just a child!” The servant’s eyes were filled with resentment as she shielded Kayla from Natalie.
Natalie’s mind was blank.
She hadn’t done it intentionally!
However, Cedric’s grip on her wrist jolted her back to reality.
“Come here!” Cedric commanded, his eyes blazing with fury.
Natalie was silent.
The rage in the man’s tone made it seem as if, in that instant, she had once again become that terrifying wornan from his memories!
It was just like how he used to compare her to Isabella. Natalie had appeared so vicious, ready to harm the weak. She was a malicious woman, and he… had repeatedly misjudged her. Outside the door, Cedric forcefully pushed Natalie away, causing her to nearly stumble and fall.
The man looked at her with bloodshot eyes.
“Natalie, she’s just a child!” His roar shattered the usual tranquility of Peach Garden.
“I know, you don’t have to remind me.” Natalie’s voice remained calm, but beneath that calm was an impending storm.
Cedric’s rage was evident in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Natalie apart. Yet, she stood her ground without fear.
“I know she’s just a child. I was also well aware of Isabella’s identity. You don’t need to remind me.‘ At this moment, Cedric’s reminders felt eerily similar to his past reminders about Isabella!
She stood there, calm and composed. It was the kind of tranquility that seemed as if she had let go of everything.
Under this calmness, Cedric’s anger slowly dissipated, replaced entirely by a sense of heartache visible in his eyes.
With a smirk, Natalie said, “You don’t need to remind me, alright?” “Natalie, why must you be like this? You should- “I should forget about everything that happened with Isabella in the past, right? Do you think I need you to keep score? If you want to settle scores, let’s do it now, once and for all!” From their past lives to the present, could he really tally it all up?
Natalie continued to laugh mockingly. “What right do you have to discuss our past?” Her calm yet mocking demeanor shook Cedric to his senses.
Just as he was about to step forward, Julian’s car arrived. The vehicle’s headlights flashed, illuminating the tension on Cedric’s face.
The smirk on Natalie’s face became even more pronounced and sardonic as she continued, Cedric, whatever you think I was, just accept it. No need to dig up the past, right?” “And as for Kayla, if you think I might harm her by being close, then Simeria!” ke her and leave Cedric’s mind buzzed with confusion. Natalie’s eyes conveyed calmness, irony, and finally, indifference! It was a kind of indifference that suggested she didn’t care at all.
This newfound indifference from Natalie left Cedric feeling more disoriented than ever.
He tried to speak, to explain perhaps, but found himself at a loss for words.
An explanation, huh?
They had tried to explain things between them before, but it had always been a series of miscommunications.
Now… “Nat, about Isabella, she-” Before Cedric could finish, Natalie had already boarded the car and slammed the door shut.
Cedric was left standing there as a cold gust of wind swept by.
For a long time, he remained rooted to the spot, unable to snap out of his daze.
He realized the depth of Natalie’s animosity towards Isabella and Kayla. To Cedric, it seemed like a choice between her and Kayla–either Natalie was present or Kayla was, but not both.
Yet, Natalie knew nothing. She had no idea what Isabella had done for her.
She knew nothing!
Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a new message. It was from Natalie.
The message read, [She has been called Kayla Walker for as long as she can remember. Do you really think there’s nothing wrong with it?] Cedric’s eyes widened upon reading the message, and he felt as though he were suffocating.
In the car, Natalie massaged her temples. She realized Cedric was stubborn and would only meticulously analyze situations when they benefited or harmed him directly.
Emotionally, however, that man had always been rather dense.
Natalie felt it necessary to remind Cedric: while it was true that Kayla was Isabella’s daughter, there was a strong possibility that… A possibility of what?
That Kayla might have been manipulated from a very young age? But who could really say?
After everything she had been through, Natalie never considered anyone straightforward, especially those clase to her Upon returning to Lotus Villa, the nanny was still with Luna, who seemed wide awake.
“You’re still up?” Natalie observed the restless child on the bed, her smile radiating warmth.
Seeing Natalie return, the nanny respectfully stood up and explained, “She only slept for half an hour around seven. She’s still quite energetic.
Natalie nodded in understanding. She knew that if Luna napped close to bedtime, she wouldn’t sleep until around midnight.
“I’ll bathe now, and then you can rest once I’m done,” she informed the nanny.
“Of course, madam,” the nanny replied with a nod Before heading to bathe, Natalie cuddled the giggling child in her arms. The laughter was so endearing, and it melted away her tension.
