Ch. 421..430

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 421-The Invisible Explanation As Irwin had said, all the injuries Cedric inflicted upon her were undeniably real.

But in Natalie’s eyes, Irwin’s schemes were even more terrifying than Cedric’s.

“Let go of me.” She struggled to break free from his grasp, but Irwin’s grip around her slender waist only novelbin tightened further.

She was delicate.

The more she struggled, the tighter he held her, rendering her motionless.

His deep voice rumbled above her, “Did you get the file?” Natalie was silent, and her heart grew colder!

All her struggles ceased at his words.

“How much do you really know about Cly?” she asked.

“No matter how much, it’s just some files. Rest assured… I’ll help you destroy the ones in Cedric’s hands.

After that, no one will threaten you again.” Hah!

Was he joking?

No one would threaten her again?

Yet, here he was, doing exactly that.

Eventually, Irwin released her.

When Natalie left, Irwin personally escorted her to her car. Just as the car door closed, he whispered, Nat, if I wanted you to know who I truly am, I wouldn’t do it the way I did in Meridiania.” The atmosphere, already tense, grew colder at his words, Whenever Irwin mentioned that day at Meridiania, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

oaze towards Irwin was loy.

touched her cheek You, like Yves, place too much trust in whit you see and hea +15 BONUS There wasn’t much explanation, but the warmth in his tone made it almost impossible not to trust him.

Yes, Irwin wasn’t that kind of person.

No matter how fearsome he might seem, he always faced things head–on. If he wanted to show her that side of him, he wouldn’t explain.

And now…!

“It doesn’t matter what kind of person you are,” Natalie retorted coldly.

Indeed, none of this mattered to her anymore.

Irwin sighed in resignation.

He stood up, shutting the car door behind her.

At that moment, both of them returned to their respective worlds, their expressions reverting to their usual demeanor.

Irwin stood still and watched as the car disappeared into the distance. The chilly wind tousled his hair, lending him a disheveled yet captivating appearance.

Especially after Wexford, those around Irwin could sense Natalie’s growing distance from him. This wasn’t because of Stephen. It stemmed from Natalie’s own inherent defensiveness and sensitivity.

“Indeed, My Nat… how could she be a simple person?” His tone was tender, almost affectionate.

Irwin had initially plotted against Cedric as revenge, but over time, his intentions had shifted.

He genuinely wanted Natalie away from Cedric. It was why he ensured her safety by inadvertently shielding her from any harm that came her way.

Given the traps he set, he knew every potential outcome.

it wasn’t because Irwin felt something for Natalle, why would he protect her?

was filled with lingering Irwin’s feelings for Natalie were genuine!

their manipulation, getting her to comply might prove challenging.

Especially now, with all the uncertainties around them.

“Of course not.” Irwin lit a cigarette and turned to walk away.

Had Irwin just…?

untrustworthy.

So, what was that about his recent demeanor towards Natalie?

He knew she couldn’t be trusted, but he still treated her so gently… He even sounded so indulgent!

Could it be that Irwin was…?!

“There’s a decade between them,” Irwin said with a profound tone.

And this… was the final time!

Once, Isabella had been part of his scheme.

What about Isabella’s daughter now?

Irwin wanted Natalie to see the emotions that were not part of his schemes. He wanted her to clearly see her place in Cedric’s heart.

Sometimes, the pain wasn’t deep enough!

Until pushed to its limits, one wouldn’t truly understand!

Feelings spanning a decade might not necessarily hold paramount importance in someone’s heart.

Cedric losing Natalie had nothing to do with anyone else!

If Natalie truly held the most significant place in his heart, then no matter who Intervened or what conspiracies arose, they wouldn’t be separated.

“She’s too sensitive,” Irwin replied.

Indeed, Natalie was overly sensitive.

Ever since Cedric, she pushed her self–preservation mechanisms to the absolute limit.

After the incident in Meridiania, she managed not to call Irwin even once, showing how determined she was to protect herself.

She could truly distance herself as if she had no connection to the situation.

Such a heart… was hard to come by.

And Irwin was determined to get it.

By the time Natalie returned to Peach Garden, it was nearing ten in the evening.

Cedric stood outside, illuminated by the cold glow of the streetlights, looking utterly desolate.

When Natalie stepped out of Irwin’s car, an overwhelming chill seemed to emanate from him.

Without waiting for her to react, he grabbed her wrist firmly, his voice carrying a restrained intensity, “You went to see Irwin?” “Yes.” “Do you know that he-.” “I do,” Natalie interrupted Cedric before he could finish, her gaze unwavering.

At that moment, the depths of Cedric’s eyes reflected a restrained ferocity.

In contrast to Cedric’s intensity, Natalie was calm as she slowly pulled her wrist free from his grip.

“Since you know, why did you still see him?” “Cedric! Amidst the man’s intense questioning, Natalie cut him off with a cold and sharp tone.

As her vision of the world blurred around her, her thoughts were clearer than ever.

She looked at Cedric and said, “Who you are to him has nothing to do with me.” So, he could stop acting as if she needed to know, understand, or care about something!

didn’t need anything, nor did she need to be considerate of anything.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 422- Unbridgeable Differences Cedric stared at the Natalie before him, feeling as if she had become a complete stranger.

It was as if she no longer cared about anything at all.

Once, she had cared for nothing but him.

But what about now?

“Then what matters to you? The child you have with Caleb?” Yes, Caleb’s child.

Witnessing her tenderness and affection for the child, no one would believe she was indifferent.

Natalie looked at him, her eyes shimmering with cold light.

“And what matters to you?” she retorted.

“You…” “Once it was Isabella, now it’s Isabella’s daughter! I’m no longer the most important person to you. Do you still harbor the illusion that you can occupy that special place in my heart as you once did in the past?” The air turned still, a chilling silence enveloping them.

In the past…!

Now, memories of the past felt suffocating.

In those seven years, they had been inseparable.

Yet, who could have foreseen the rift that would come after marriage?

Indeed, the heart has two chambers–one for happiness and one for sorrow.

And for them, happiness had been overwhelmed by sorrow.

Initially, happiness resonated loudly, but as time wore on, sorrow became hysterical.

Now, the sorrow felt like a vast chasm, with those three years erecting walls that kept them apart.

Do you really have no regard for those seven years?” Cedric’s voice trembled with suppressed emotion.

Every time Natalle spoke so bluntly in his presence, It became clear to Cedric that in Natalle’s world, he Dionificance Those seven years seemed like a fleeting dream.

“When you repeatedly chose Isabella, did you ever consider those seven years?” Natalie shot back sharply.

Cedric stood rooted to the spot, trembling.

His grip loosened, and Natalie effortlessly shook off his grip before moving inside. Her retreating figure appeared distant, emanating an unsettling coldness.

It was suffocating to look at her.

On the couch, Kayla held a little pig in her arms.

Natalie wondered where Cedric got it from. It looked exactly like Ginger!

At that moment, Kayla’s face, so reminiscent of Isabella, seemed to morph into the very woman’s features. In Natalie’s eyes, Kayla’s timid gaze… seemed to instantly change into the defiant look that Isabella would give her.

A chilling sensation surged through Natalie, prompting her to swiftly and forcefully grab the pig from Kayla’s embrace.

Without a word, she headed upstairs. Her actions had been swift and decisive.

The moment Kayla realized what happened, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

“Miss, please don’t cry,” Chloe, who was looking after Kayla, felt a pang of sympathy.

She increasingly felt that Natalie was so narrow–minded. How could Natalie not even accommodate a child?

Chloe wondered what had drawn Cedric to Natalie in the first place. Now, that woman was living under the same roof and making everyone’s life miserable.

Kayla buried her face into Chloe’s embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shh, it’s okay. Please don’t cry, Miss!” Chloe comforted.

When Cedric walked in, he immediately sensed the tension. His face darkened instantly.

What’s going on? His voice tightened as he approached Kayla, wrapping her gently in his embrace.

Casting a glance at Chloe, who hesitated. Cedric’s voice turned icy. “Speak.” was Madam Chice stammered.

Hearing Natalie’s name, Kayla’s tears flowed even more, her innocent eyes full of grievance. Cedric’s temple throbbed visibly.

That woman!

“Shh, it’s alright now,” he cooed to the tearful Kayla, though internally, he was boiling with anger.

Natalie was seriously…!

He had never realized this side of Natalie, one that couldn’t even tolerate a child.

“Daddy,” Kayla whimpered, her voice choked with emotion.

“I’m here,” Cedric assured her.

“Mommy doesn’t like me. She took away my piggy,” Kayla’s voice trembled with sorrow.

The veins on Cedric’s forehead seemed to pulsate even more vigorously. By now, he had a good understanding of why Natalie had gotten angry.

“Daddy will get you another one,” he promised.

“Okay,” came Kayla’s subdued reply, but the sorrow in her voice was obvious. The way she repressed her emotions tugged at one’s heartstrings.

Finally calming the distraught child and heading upstairs, Cedric found Natalie lost in thought, cradling the pig on a chaise lounge.

Taking a deep breath, he approached her. “So fond of this pig, aren’t you?” At his words, Natalie snapped back to reality in an instant.

Natalie looked at the pig in her arms, a hint of ironic amusement curling her l*ps.

“You always have a unique way of gifting,” she remarked.

Was this his way of belittling someone?

Was that why he gave such gifts?

Cedric sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette and taking a deep drag.

He spoke in a restrained tone, “I agreed to send her away, so why must you behave like this?

paused, visibly taken aback, emotion flashed in her eyes as she regarded Cedric. His sudden proclamation sounded Send Kayla away? novelbin To Natalie, such a thing seemed impossible. But now Cedric… was claiming he would do just that?

“You’d send her away?” Natalie sarcastically questioned, her disbelief evident.

Her initial reaction was one of disbelief.

Now, it seemed even more improbable.

After all, wasn’t Isabella immensely important to him?

“Yes,” he confirmed.

“Have you told her?” Natalie probed further.

She was well aware of how clingy Kayla was. Despite her resentment towards Isabella, Natalie couldn’t help but feel a tinge of pity, especially seeing the child’s innocent eyes.

Thus, after enduring Kayla’s presence, she decided to send her away.

Undoubtedly, once Kayla realized she’d be sent away, she wouldn’t remain as calm as Natalie had seen.

Sure enough, a hint of internal struggle crossed Cedric’s eyes.

“Nat…!” “If you can’t bear it, then don’t. As you said, she has no relatives in this world, and she’s so pitiful,” Natalie said.

“What about you?” “Me?” Natalie found it laughable at this point.

She looked at Cedric and said sarcastically, “You seem troubled!” Look, the moment she spoke, he was tempted!

It was evident how difficult this decision was for him.

And hel Not only did he want to keep the child, but he also wanted Natalie to feel sorry for Kayla, thus accepting “It makes no difference to me whether you send her away or not. There was never anything between us, she declared, her words absolute and final.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 423-Misunderstandings Rekindled At this moment, to Cedric, Natalie’s resolute stance was undoubtedly because of Kayla.

Taking a deep breath, he fiercely drew on his cigarette before stating to Natalie, “I’ll send her away as soon as possible.” What was once a definitive statement had now become a vague promise.

This indicated just how significant a place Kayla held in Cedric’s heart due to his relationship with Isabella.

The crux of the matter wasn’t about sending Kayla away. It was evident that Cedric genuinely couldn’t bear the thought of parting with the child.

Natalie fell silent.

For them, this was a pointless topic.

As Cedric rose to leave, he issued a warning in his tone, “Don’t see Irwin again.” Bang!

Before Natalie could even react with a word, Cedric had already left.

She remained seated, placing the pig on the chaise longue with a wry smile.

Don’t see Irwin?

He was seriously… First, Caleb, and now Irwin.

That night, Natalie tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She was jolted awake by a commotion outside- hurried footsteps followed by the roar of an engine.

The next morning, when she descended the stairs to the dining room, it was eerily quiet without Cedric and Kayla.

Approaching the breakfast table, she noticed a meager spread that was far simpler than when Cedric was around. Just some plain soup and a few side dishes, looking hastily put together.

are they? Natalie asked coldly, addressing the butler standing nearby.

way, responding in a chilly tone devoid of respect, Miss had a high fever last to the hospital, and the nanny went along A sharp glint flashed in Natalie’s eyes as she abruptly rose, causing the chair to screech uncomfortably against the floor.

Seeing her stand up, the butler hurriedly inquired, “Are you heading to the hospital?” Though phrased as a question, the tone suggested Natalie ought to be at the hospital.

With a mocking smirk, Natalie replied, “Do I need to tell you where I’m going?” The butler instantly paled at her words.

As Natalie strode out, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being treated dismissively just because Cedric and Kayla were absent.

It wasn’t that she cared about these things, but these kinds of people made her uncomfortable.

Over the years with Cedric, she had tolerated such disrespect far too often.

After her time with the Johnson family…!

She wouldn’t let just anyone dictate her actions or endure such treatment.

Pausing at the door, she threw a final question over her shoulder, “Has he mentioned when he’ll be back?” novelbin The butler said, “Miss has been running a fever for two consecutive nights, and her condition is critical.” The implication was that time was of the essence.

A chill deepened in Natalie’s eyes.

She spun around and headed straight upstairs. From below, the butler asked, “Are you still having breakfast?” “Feed it to the dogs! Natalie snapped back, making her way to her room.

Memories of Irwin and Cednc’s faces intertwined in her mind. Soon enough, Bianca’s name flashed on The call connected swiftly. “Nat.

of Zane gets hold of those documents will it be enough to bring down Malcolm? Natalie cut straight “What do you mean?” “Those documents. They’re crucial for anyone related to the Entes family, right?” The people in Wexford, Irwin, Cedric, and some members of the Entes family were all searching for it.

So, it was obvious the documents held significant importance.

“Nat, you…” Bianca started but trailed off.

“As long as Malcolm is taken down, Zane will release you, right? He’ll set you “Yes.” free?” “Good, I got it.” “What are you planning?” What was she planning?

To rid herself of these treacherous men! It didn’t matter which of them had betrayed her or used her.

All of them should just go to hell!

She resented Cedric and Irwin deeply.

One used her, while the other betrayed her, wanting her to accept another woman’s child.

So what if Irwin didn’t see her the same now?

He had started everything by manipulating her!

His betrayal was also real!

Since her arrival at Peach Garden, Natalie hadn’t ventured into Cedric’s study. It wasn’t because she cared about him, but because she didn’t want to go along with Irwin’s schemes obediently.

But circumstances had changed.

Bianca needed it!

After ending the call with Bianca, Natalie stormed into Cedric’s study, fl*pping it upside down. Irwin had Oven her an inkling about the content of those crucial documents.

sound of a lock turning echoed in the room, and Natalle froze b*dy stiffened as she looked toward the entrance. Cedric stood there, a chilling aure “What are you looking for?” His voice trembled, eyes turning a fiery red.

Wexford had made them hypersensitive to their surroundings lately, making the study a particularly sensitive spot.

When he saw Natalie in the study, and several drawers opened, it obviously looked like she was looking for something.

“I asked you, what are you searching for?!” Cedric’s tone grew more forceful as Natalie remained silent.

With determined strides, he approached her, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

“What do you think?” Natalie retorted, meeting his gaze.

“Are you siding with Irwin?” His words weren’t a question but an assertion filled with conviction.

Was she siding with Irwin?

Taking a deep breath, Natalie studied the man before her. “Do you believe I would stand by Irwin?” “Yes! And you’re doing it right now!” Silence fell after his roar.

Cedric’s fists clenched, his entire b*dy shaking. Before Natalie could respond, he continued in a rage, “Is it because you unexpectedly had a child with Caleb that you feel guilty towards Irwin?” Natalie remained silent.

“Do you even have a heart, Natalie? Do you know what kind of person he is? What do you have to feel guilty about?” Cedric roared.

In Cedric’s mind, Natalie’s actions stemmed from guilt towards Irwin.

Ultimately, she was siding with Irwin.

Even if I wronged you in those three years, did the seven years mean absolutely nothing to you?” Those seven years were filled with happiness.

Could she disregard them so easily?

on years she was his world. She was his rock!

d with a mix of pain and sorrow, “Even if you feel that twin was wonderful, As Natalie stood there in silence, the fiery anger in Cedric’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable sadness,

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 424-The Illegitimate Daughter?

His sanity was constantly being challenged.

After his burst of anger, Cedric laughed.

It was maniacal, and it sounded… so tragically heavy.

Then, it seemed like something within Cedric’s world had died.

He suddenly calmed down, his voice chillingly composed, “Was Clyde just an excuse? You came for Irwin, didn’t you?” He used to believe that in Natalie’s world, nothing mattered more than her child and the members of the Jarvis family.

However, Caleb, as the father of the child, held importance, and Irwin seemed to have an irreplaceable position in her heart.

Now, in Natalie’s world, everyone seemed more important than Cedric.

Was there anything sadder than that?

Cedric had always thought the ten years of emotions between him and Natalie were insurmountable. He believed that these emotions were his strongest leverage against Natalie.

But he was wrong.

She had changed.

“After everything, would Irwin accept being the stepfather to your illegitimate daughter?” The aftermath of his madness was pure sarcasm.

With every word, Cedric hoped to awaken Natalie. Hearing him refer to Luna as an illegitimate daughter, a coldness spread in Natalie’s eyes.

Don’t be naive, Cedric mocked. “Given Irwin’s status, how could he accept that you have a daughter?” You wouldn’t accept her either, would you?” Natalie swiftly countered.

The look in her eyes was calm… but it was also chillingly cold.

edric remained silent.

Under Natalie’s gaze, he continuously questioned himself internally.

Could he accept her daughter?

“You can’t accept it either, right?” Natalie repeated.

Cedric had wanted Caleb to take Luna away, which indicated… that he wasn’t as magnanimous as he pretended to be.

Even though he kept pestering Natalie to accept Isabella’s child… In reality, he could never accept Luna’s existence either.

“Irwin may not accept her, but he’s willing to let me raise the child in the Jarvis family. And you? You’re such a hypocrite!” Cedric was silent.

“You tell me to accept Isabella’s child, yet you secretly demand Caleb take away my child! You’re not exactly noble yourself, Cedric!” So, Cedric should stop mocking Irwin.

Neither of them were good people, so why attack each other like this?

Cedric remained silent, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Their gazes locked, confronting each other.

Cedric felt deeply disappointed in Natalie, feeling as though Irwin had taken an unshakeable place in her heart.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed–it was a call from the hospital.

Kayla’s continuous high fever had meant a several–day stay, and Cedric had planned to visit her with some clothes.

But who would have thought…?

“Hello?” He answered, and whatever was said on the other end made his expression even colder than before.

His entire b*dy couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably.

said into the phone with quivering l*ps, “I’m coming right away!?

He hung up and rushed out without even glancing at Natalie. It was evident that something serious had happened at the hospital.

And at the center of it all was undoubtedly Kayla.

Who else in this world could make Cedric lose control like this?

Other than Isabella, it was her daughter.

“Illegitimate daughter?! Hmph…” Thinking of how Cedric referred to Luna, Natalie found it profoundly ironic.

Given his deep affection for Kayla, how could Luna be his daughter?

Perhaps Cedric might even make grand claims or expressions about blessings or favor for Luna just to make a show of it, without genuine sincerity.

If he did that… Hah!

It wasn’t clear what had transpired at the hospital, but Cedric didn’t return for three consecutive days.

Kyle visited once, and Natalie couldn’t find the other half of the documents in the study. She had no idea where it might be.

Perhaps it wasn’t even in Peach Garden. After all, with Cedric owning so many properties, who knew where he might have kept it?

During these three days, Natalie didn’t stay much at Peach Garden. Since the fallout with Cedric, she had mostly been at Lotus Villa during the day.

“Luna, open your little mouth,” Natalie said, offering a spoon to Luna.

However, Luna immediately turned her head away.

Concerned, Natalie looked at Heather. “Her appetite hasn’t been great these days.” Yeah, we’ll give her some medicine later,” Heather responded.

whenever she had free time, Heather would read parenting books. She had almost mastered imations regarding a child’s health. Sometimes, she would share experiences “Cedric has been at the hospital these days?” Natalie had mentioned it upon her return on the first day.

If he had been at Peach Garden, Natalie might not have come back every day.

Natalie nodded. “Yes.” “It seems the child’s health is genuinely deteriorating. She’s ten years old and still not showing signs of improvement despite the treatments.” Natalie remained silent.

Yes, it seemed that Kayla’s health was bad.

But it wasn’t like Natalie cared.

Heather knew Natalie was indifferent towards the child, but she felt the same way. Accepting Isabella’s daughter wasn’t as simple as Cedric imagined.

Cedric was truly delusional!

Once this period passed and he fully came to terms with it, he would realize that it was ultimately… impossible!

Natalie couldn’t even accept Cedric. So, how could she ever accept Isabella’s daughter?

I’ll head back now,” Natalie said, rising from her seat. “Remember to give the medicine to Luna in a bit.” “Yeah, I know. Don’t worry,” Heather reassured her.

With Heather looking after the child, Natalie felt genuinely at ease.

As Natalie departed, her phone buzzed.

It was Irwin.

She hesitated, choosing to decline the ca

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 425-Prophecy Fulfilled As this thought crossed her mind, a complex worry flashed in Natalie’s eyes.

Eventually, she picked up her phone and called Clyde, who answered promptly.

“It’s me,” came the man’s deep voice on the other end.

“You’re with Caleb?” Natalie asked.

“Yes.” “Is there something going on?” Hearing that Clyde was indeed with Caleb made Natalie’s heart race. Although Clyde was her brother, Natalie couldn’t help but admit that Clyde was also dangerous after learning about Wexford!

And as for Caleb, he was primarily a shrewd businessman to Natalie. That was why she was worried.

“What are you afraid of?” Clyde seemed to have the ability to look into people’s hearts.

That single sentence revealed Natalie’s concerns.

“Cly, Caleb-” “Whatever he does has nothing to do with you.” “Yes, it has nothing to do with me.” Upon hearing Clyde’s words, Natalie snapped back to reality. While she had previously complicated things for Caleb, she had done her part to make amends.

So whatever happened now between them should not concern her anymore, right?

After ending the call with Clyde, Natalie felt a bit downcast. As she neared Peach Garden, Bianca called.

“Bia!” Natalie answered.

“Shall we meet tomorrow?” “Alright.” Things were now different for them in Simeria. They were both free, and they could meet whenever they wanted.

After ending the call with Bianca, Natalie arrived at Peach Garden.

When she exited her vehicle, she noticed Cedric’s car parked in the yard.

He was back.

The thought of facing both Cedric and Kayla made Natalie irritable. Every time she faced them, she couldn’t control her temper.

Walking to the entrance, Natalie felt an uneasy atmosphere. The butler and servants looked at her with serious expressions.

Clearly, her interactions with Cedric had made everyone here uncomfortable. They harbored some resentment towards her.

Ignoring their stares, Natalie entered the house, immediately noticing the thick scent of smoke.

It was Cedric.

He sat on the sofa, smoking. The ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts.

She didn’t see Kayla anywhere.

Natalie headed upstairs, showing no intention of consoling Cedric.

Even if he died from frustration, it had nothing to do with her. Her attitude toward Cedric was now as cold as ice.

“Sit down. Let’s talk,” Cedric finally spoke as Natalie reached the staircase.

She paused. When their eyes met, she saw a hint of pain and struggle in his.

At that moment, a sense of unease washed over Natalie.

“What do you want to talk about?” Her tone remained icy.

Such coldness from Natalie intensified the struggle in Cedric’s eyes.

Natalie raised an eyebrow.

“We can speak once you’ve sorted out your thoughts,” she said, impatiently turning to head upstairs.

“She’s sick!” Cedric exclaimed.

Natalie halted, her entire demeanor becoming even colder. “I know.” She was aware of the child’s illness. Everyone was. Yet, her stance remained unchanged, even with the he had shown no intention of visiting:

That was her attitude toward the child and, by extension, Cedric.

So what?

Had he been restraining herself all this time, only to finally snap?

“It’s not what you think,” Cedric added.

Then, what could it be?

Didn’t that child merely have a fever or cold? Could there be an unseen ailment?

“She has leukemia,” Cedric revealed.

Leukemia?

Natalie was taken aback.

The disease seemed to have afflicted many in recent years, with its causes still unclear.

“So, you won’t send her away?” Natalie’s voice was chillingly firm as she closed her eyes.

The onlookers gasped, shocked that Natalie could remain so heartless, especially given the child’s condition.

She seemed more concerned about her own interests. Was the child’s presence hindering her in some way?

How could there be such a cold–blooded and ruthless woman in this world?

Natalie appeared heartless in their eyes, and her coldness was outrageous.

Cedric was at a loss for words, his emotions swirling just like everyone else’s.

Natalie’s icy demeanor seemed to permeate the room, leaving him speechless.

He opened his mouth to speak, but… he had no words.

As Natalie took a step forward, Cedric stood frozen in the hallway. Despite the world seemingly crashing down on him, he couldn’t shake off Natalie’s chilling aura.

She was just too cold.

In the room, Natalie dialed Irwin’s number. He was probably busy with something, as the call rang until the 3/5 Nat, Irwin greeted.

Is it real? Natalie’s voice was icy, and Irwin was puzzled.

“What?

Was what real?

Natalie’s voice deepened as she asked, “Is Kayla’s illness real?” Without a doubt, the moment Cedric mentioned leukemia, Natalie couldn’t help but suspect it might be another one of Irwin’s schemes.

If there was a plot that could span a decade, Natalie believed in Irwin’s terrifying capabilities.

To her, Irwin was perhaps the most formidable man alive.

Given his ruthlessness, what was using a child to him?

“She’s sick?” Irwin’s voice echoed surprise on the other end of the call, but Natalie remained firm.

“Did you have anything to do with it?” “No.” came the immediate reply from Irwin.

Was he really not involved in it?

“Nat, you really need to change this habit of yours!” “It’s like being bitten by a snake once and fearing the rope for ten years,” she replied, speaking her truth.

Because of Irwin’s manipulations in the past, anything happening around her now made her automatically suspect his involvement.

How could Kayla have such a severe illness like leukemia?

Irwin said, “Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with me. All I know is that the child wasn’t well.” He had ensured the child received the best care while she had been with him, leaving no room for negligence.

Was it truly unrelated to Irwin? novelbin If not Irwin, did the child inherently have some issues?

After ending the call with Irwin, Natalie stood in the darkness, lost in thought for what felt like an eternity.

What exactly was leukemia?

She wasn’t entirely sure. But one thing she was certain of, whatever the illness… it must be agonizingly painful.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 426-Threats and Arrogance Speaking of pain, the one who was suffering right now was Jade.

In the end, Bianca came to the hospital.

She stood near Malcolm, staring at the pale face of the woman lying in the hospital bed.

Malcolm said, “As long as you sign the surgical consent form, I’ll have someone immediately take you back to Verde City once the operation is over!” Verde City.

Bianca’s home.

It was also the place that inflicted the deepest scar on Malcolm’s heart. Over the years, no one dared mention it in his presence.

Yet now, he mentioned it to Bianca…!

It was evident that Jade held some significance in his heart.

A sardonic smile crept onto Bianca’s l*ps as she looked at Malcolm and remarked, “It seems she truly is on death’s door, isn’t she?” Malcolm remained silent, his eyes instantly brimming with a rage that bordered on bloodlust.

But Bianca, noticing his reaction, merely laughed. It was a cold, icy sound.

“As the saying goes, everyone gets their just deserts.” Π “Do you think you’re more powerful than fate itself, Lord Malcolm?” If Bianca had done wrong, she would face the consequences.

How could it be his right to come after her and seek revenge?

“Faye had a good marriage, but she went and got herself killed!” “Shut up!” At the mention of Faye, the danger in Malcolm’s eyes intensified. If it were any other woman standing before him, they would have been too terrified to speak.

+15 BONUS But Bianca?

She showed no fear!

With a chilling smirk, she continued, “Your actions were ruthless. Perhaps you’ve been fortunate, with retribution falling upon those around you. Of course…” As she paused, the tension in the room thickened.

Gazing at Jade on the hospital bed, Bianca’s smile deepened, “It’s not like she’s innocent either.” As Bianca mentioned earlier, everyone would get their just deserts.

Why would Malcolm be an exception?

Malcolm’s fury surged. In the next moment, he had her by the neck, pinning her against the wall.

His cold breath brushed against her face as he hissed, “Do you think I’m seeking your approval?” Every word dripped with danger.

Did she truly think so highly of herself?

Coldly, Bianca met his icy gaze. “What? Can’t resist the urge to tie me to the operating table?” Malcolm remained silent.

Bianca’s smirk grew colder. “I’d actually hope you’d try it. That way, I wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of dragging you down.” A palpable chill settled in the room after she said that.

“You’re too arrogant!” Malcolm’s tone was deadly.

He was indirectly mocking her overconfidence.

Bianca pushed his hand away from her neck, nonchalantly adjusting her attire. “Then let’s see tomorrow… what kind of image you’ll present in Simeria.” “Are you threatening me?” In Simeria, there was no one who dared threaten Malcolm!

Bianca retorted, “Of course not. I wouldn’t dare. I’m merely informing you that I’m the seventh lady of the Entes family. And in the future…!” She didn’t finish her sentence, but the implied threat was evident.

+15 BONUS Mockingly, she continued, “If I undergo surgery tonight, I might just become the seventh queen in the future!

Malcolm’s eyes shimmered with a cold glint.

Bianca pushed him away, approaching the hospital bed. As she looked into the lifeless eyes of the woman lying there, her smirk grew even more pronounced.

Malcolm had humiliated her in the past, and seeing him in this state now brought her immense satisfaction.

Splash!

Bianca grabbed a nearby water glass from the bedside table, pouring its contents onto Jade’s unconscious face.

“Bianca!” Malcolm roared in anger.

With a scathing glance, Bianca said, “You remember my name? I feel so special!” She could see the danger in the man’s eyes, and she knew he wanted to tear her to pieces.

Clang!

The glass shattered loudly as Malcolm threw it to the ground, his anger palpable.

Bianca spared one last glance at the furious man before she turned and headed for the exit.

Was he furious?

Absolutely!

She wished Malcolm would collapse and die from sheer rage.

Once she left, the room was filled with an ominous atmosphere.

Ever since Bianca married Zane, it seem.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 427-Irreconcilable Differences The two locked eyes.

At that moment, it felt as if even the surrounding air had become thin, making it so unbearable. and causing one’s entire b*dy to tense up.

“So?” After a pause, Natalie stared coldly at Cedric, her icy gaze growing more dangerous by the second.

Cedric responded, “The expert team mentioned that their compatibility is exceptionally high.” At that moment, even without Cedric spelling it out, Natalie grasped the implications of his words.

From the genetic bank, the compatibility between Kayla and Luna was significant.

What was his intention?

Clang!

Natalie threw her spoon on the plate, her eyes filled with malice as she observed Cedric’s evident struggle.

Yet, his inner turmoil appeared ironic and revolting to her.

She understood.

Coldly, she questioned, “So what? Just as you once asked for my eyes to save Isabella, are you now planning to use my daughter to save Isabella’s child?” “Nothing can happen to her!” “And so you’re putting my daughter at risk?” The past and present events are intertwined at this moment.

Isabella, and Isabella’s daughter!

Natalie, and Natalie’s daughter!

Cedric’s scheme was truly cunning.

“I’ve checked. As a donor, she won’t be-” Being Natalie overturned the entire dining table, revealing the depths of her anger. Her petite frame trembled as she stared at Cedric, her visage now fearsome!

“Cedric, listen carefully. Don’t even think about it!” Her words dripped with danger and warning.

Unless Natalie lost her mind, she would never agree to use Luna to save Isabella’s daughter.

He wasn’t worthy!

She knew he favored Kayla, but who would have thought her suspicions would become reality?!

He was really ready to sacrifice Luna to save Kayla without a second thought.

Their eyes met. The conflict in Cedric’s eyes gradually calmed, and his eyes hardened.

“I wasn’t consulting you The chill in Natalie’s b*dy intensified. Upon hearing the warning in his words, no one knew just how tumultuous and resentful Natalie’s heart was at this moment.

Once, she had closed off her heart to Cedric with a determination never to interact with him again.

But now, she wanted revenge.

She realized it!

As long as this man remained in her life, she would never find peace.

“So, you’re informing me now?” “Nat, it’s a life!” The man emphasized each word, coldly reminding her.

Clearly, at this moment, Cedric also realized that Natalie… would never agree, and Kayla’s condition couldn’t afford to wait He just wanted this matter to end quickly. novelbin No matter how much she resented him deep down, he wanted this matter to conclude as soon as possible Natalie looked at the man before her. She was furious!

When people hit the limit of their anger, they would become calm And what about my life in the past?” He claimed that Kayla’s life was invaluable ‘Cedric, in the past, I was worth less than dirt to you! Where did this sudden sentimentality come from?” Yes, it was all an act.

People often said people would realize the value of what they didn’t have and cherish what they lost This man was merely pretending He pretended so well that he might have even convinced himself.

“We’ll never get along!” Natalie exclaimed, then turned to leave At this moment, Natalie saw the evolution of her relationship with Cedric from complete estrangement to the current irreconcilable state.

Yes, they were undoubtedly at odds.

If extreme measures were necessary to resolve this situation, then so be it She would confront it head–on!

Back at Lotus Villa, Natalie dialed a number The person on the other end quickly answered, and Natalie said, “Abigail, it’s me!” “Natalie?” Natalie closed her eyes so no one would see the cruel glint that flashed in her eyest Cedric’s words echoed in her mind.

He wasn’t consulting her!

Hali!

He intended to use Luna to save Kayla, and he wasn’t even consulting her?

“Come to Simeria immediately” She said while trying to reign in her emotions “Have you thought things through? Abigail asked t’s not about what I want ‘ Natalie once wished to avoid getting tangled in Wexford’s webs U But if she had to so be it thai Ste in to Lotus Villa, Aghes informed her that Stephen and Clyde were at the company, Heather had taken the children out, and Irwin was waiting for her.

When she heard Irwin was here, a shadow crossed Natalie’s eyes. Closing them briefly, she reopened them with a piercing focus!

In the conservatory, Irwin studied the flourishing orchids.

Natalie sat on a rattan chair. The comforting scent of tea wafted around her, yet the darkness in her heart remained.

“Orchids prefer cold Grown like this, their blooming season will be short,” Irwin remarked.

“I know nothing about flowers, Natalie replied absentmindedly.

Irwin studied her, then sat opposite her.

He sipped his lukewarm tea and asked, “What’s wrong? Has he made his choice?” Natalie’s gaze instantly sharpened.

Looking at this man who seemed to have everything in control, she became wary.

“Are you still not over it,” Irwin asked.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she replied, although she knew precisely what he meant.

Irwin, on many occasions, could be even more stubborn than Cedric. Clearly, he didn’t feel the need to provide many explanations about that night at Meridiania.

In his view, what he said should be enough for Natalie to understand Unfortunately for him, Natalie was indifferent.

So naturally, she would avoid the topic more.

Irwin asked, “Have you let go?” This time, he was referring to Cedric.

Natalie set down her teacup and said flatly, “It’s irrelevant whether I’ve let go or not.” “You may have moved on, but he Mr. Frazier Natalie interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

“Sorry, Irwin said.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to retrieve that half of the documents you’re looking for, Natalie Given how things had escalated with Cedric, she doubted she’d ever want to return to Peach Garden again.

She had expected Irwin to use Clyde’s past against her regarding the missing document. However, he surprised her with his straightforwardness “It’s fine,” he simply said Natalie paused, clearly taken aback!

Her gaze towards Irwin now carried a more probing intent.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 428-Manipulation and Testing It was fine?

Previously, Irwin had threatened her just as Cedric had, using Clyde’s sordid past to make her retrieve half of the documents from Cedric.

But now, he he actually said it was fine?

Natalie was silent.

She stared quietly at the man opposite her.

Irwin crushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and then stood, moving closer to her. The closer he got, the more guarded Natalie became.

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Irwin sat beside her, pulling her still–cold hand towards him “Who do you think is more detestable, a manipulator or a betrayer?” Natalie’s mind went blank instantly.

She stared at Irwin, almost forgetting to remove her hand from his grip!

A manipulator or a betrayer?

That was what had been tormenting Natalie recently.

He… he actually!

“Irwin!” Natalie uttered his name, bewildered by the mention of betrayal and manipulation.

Why would he…? novelbin Irwin’s eyes remained warm as he gazed into hers.

Undoubtedly, the scene of Kayla being sick and how Natalie had been manipulated and betrayed… It all formed a sharp contrast in Natalie’s mind!

Irwin pulled Natalie closer, murmuring, “Nat, that manipulation… was more about gauging his love for you.

Natalie was silent.

Her heart raced, a suffocating sensation engulfing her as Irwin’s words seemed to tear her apart ipulation was detestable, Irwin was right. This entire ordeal revealed the depths of for bet hi If his feelings for her were truly steadfast and unwavering, no number of Isabellas could have driven them to this point However, this ordeal revealed the opposite!

It made Natalie realize that even without Isabella, even with someone else… their world would still be upended.

“Don’t act like you saved me. You’re just as detestable as he is” Natalie pulled her hand forcefully from Irwin’s grasp, her voice icy.

Irwin chuckled softly, his smile reminiscent of a sly fox. “Yes, I’m just as detestable.” “Hmph!” Natalie stood up from Irwin’s embrace and coldly said, “Whatever your intentions were in approaching me, it ends now.” Indeed, it had to end.

Before, when Natalie was unaware of Irwin’s intentions, his manipulation of her was truly just that -manipulation.

“If you’re so guarded, who could possibly manipulate you?” Irwin said gently.

Natalie was silent.

Guarded?

Didn’t he have any idea why she was so guarded?

“What do you really want?” Natalie asked as she took a deep breath and looked at Irwin.

Yes, that was the question.

What did Irwin really want?

Undoubtedly, having Natalie steal the documents wasn’t his primary goal.

Irwin was enigmatic, so much so that even when Frederick disappeared and she gave the information to Malcolm, he didn’t seem to blame her.

Such a profound man caused Natalie to doubt if he truly remained oblivious to her dealings with.

Malcolm.

His eyes were deep, and as Natalie said, even his smiles carried weight.

“Nat, you’re clever. The way you escaped Malcolm’s grasp surprised and pleased me,” Irwin remarked During those chaotic times in Wexford, both Stephen and Irwin were preoccupied, leaving Natalie vulnerable to Malcolm’s manipulations, Malcolm wanted to ally with the Jarvis family to bolster his influence within the Entes family.

Irwin had instructed Yves to bring Natalie to Wexford, but she !

He had to admit that Natalie’s vigilance was commendable. As she couldn’t see through everything clearly back then, she chose to stay close to Malcolm even when the situation seemed dire.

What surprised Irwin more was how she used Frederick’s information to her advantage.

Natalie, noticing the smirk in Irwin’s eyes, paled.

He knew? He knew she had sold Frederick out?!

“You…?!” “How long have you known?‘ Irwin interrupted her thoughts, his gaze penetrating.

When had she started being so wary?

Natalie remained silent. He seemed to know everything but kept mum Why?

Undoubtedly, Irwin knowing about the matter with Frederick deeply affected Natalie. She took several deep breaths but couldn’t shake off the heavy feeling in her chest.

Standing up, Irwin said, “Nat, you only have two paths ahead: manipulation or betrayal…” He trailed off, but Natalie understood his implication.

Her anger flared. “What if I choose neither?” That was right. She didn’t want to choose.

Irwin looked back at her, and his smile… deepened Ultimately, he turned around and left without answering Natalie’s question Natalie was pale and sat in the same place, unable to snap out of her daze for a long time.

Meanwhile, Stephen returned as Irwin exited Lotus Villa. The older man’s face soured upon seeing Irwin After the events in Wexford, Stephen’s suspicions were confirmed So, he distanced himself further from Irwin.

The two men exchanged nods, their past camaraderie clearly strained after the events at Wexford.

As they passed each other, Stephen said, “Don’t come looking for her again.” He was referring to Natalie.

Initially, Stephen believed that the closeness between Irwin and Natalie stemmed from Irwin’s genuine fondness for her.

Irwin’s maturity, stability, and attentiveness seemed like the perfect remedy for Natalie’s past emotional wounds. If he treated her exceptionally well, it could be seen as Irwin making up for the pain Natalie had endured.

However, Stephen realized the bitter truth after he learned about Isabella and Irwin’s connection.

A significant portion of Natalie’s past suffering was, in fact, instigated by Irwin.

Irwin responded, “I’m afraid that won’t be happening.” Stephen was silent.

That won’t be happening?!

Stephen became angry. But before he could say anything, Irwin continued, “I’m sorry I can’t heed. your words.” “Irwin, Nat is…” “I understand your concerns,” Irwin interrupted, “but sometimes, your judgment seems hasty.

Hasty?

Wasn’t it Irwin who manipulated Natalie?

Indeed, such manipulation was unforgivable, both to Natalie and Stephen.

Turning to face Stephen, Irwin asked, “Do you also believe I was only using her?”
