Ch. 441..450
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 441-Must Save Her Before this, if Irwin approached Natalie, it was to expedite the emotional rift between Cedric and Natalie!
But this time, it’s different.
As the words fell, Cedric looked deeply into Kyle’s eyes, a hint of seriousness apparent.
Kyle bowed respectfully, saying, “After all, Madam turned against us previously because she knew about Mr. Frazier’s manipulation.” Knew?
Yes!
Natalie knew, and Cedric… had known all along. That’s why he repeatedly warned Natalie that Irwin wasn’t a good person Approaching her had to be with an ulterior motive, but Natalie wouldn’t hear of it back then.
After she knew, she turned against Cedric!
And now, Natalie and Irwin were together again?
Could it be as Kyle said?
Was this time… different?
In what way would it be different?
These thoughts churned incessantly in Cedric’s mind, each one hitting him like a blow.
The air seemed to freeze again!
Cedric’s aura grew colder and heavier. Just as he was about to say something, a doctor rushed over.
“Mr. Johnson, Miss Kayla is in critical condition and has been taken to the emergency room!” Everyone took a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this news.
Things were really getting out of hand!
By the time Kyle and Lucas reacted, Cedric had already dashed out. The emergency room’s light was glaringly red, piercing to the eyes.
Inside was Kayla, and Cedric felt his heart rise to his throat.
Soon after, a critical condition notice was sent out, “No matter what, save her! If anything happens to her, none of you will live!” The hysterical shout echoed down the corridor.
When Lucas and Kyle arrived, they saw Cedric fiercely tearing up the critical condition notice and throwing it to the ground.
Clearly, he wouldn’t accept….
He wouldn’t accept the news of Kayla’s critical condition.
Why was everything going wrong now?
An assistant rushed in, and soon after, one of the doctors came out. He patiently said to Cedric,” Mr. Johnson, the emergency treatment is ongoing. We will do our utmost-” “Save her.” “But Miss Kayla had previously suffered significant trauma, accelerating her deterioration…” The doctor’s words trailed off.
Upon hearing that Kayla had been stimulated, Cedric’s emotions stormed like a raging tempest.
Stimulated? Why?
Was it because of the night when Natalie and the Jarvis family rushed to the hospital and caused a scene in Kayla’s room?
Apart from that incident, was there another reason?
Natalie, Natalie..!
The pain in his heart spread intensely.
“Your Excellency…” Lucas noticed the bloodstains seeping from Cedric’s chest wound, and his heart tightened.
He was injured?!
Kyle also saw it.
These past few days, due to Cedric’s unstable emotions, his wound threatened to reopen at any moment. It had been tended to countless times.
And now, this time..!
Save her, she must live! Cedric stared intently at the doctor before him, each word dripping with urgency wing look in his eyes made the doctor Finally, the doctor nodded.
He went inside Cedric seemed to slump against the cold wall, breathing heavily. Kyle approached him, “The wound has reopened. I’ll call the doctor!” Lucas observed Kyle’s immediate reaction.
It was clear that such occurrences had become a frequent event these days.
Kyle hurried off!
Lucas stepped forward, “Your Excellency.
He parted his l*ps, intending to say something. However, the words were stuck in his throat upon seeing the emergency room’s red light.
Wexford was in à critical situation!
Cedric had to return as quickly as possible.
Compared to Cedric’s frenzy, things had been calm on Natalie’s end for a few days.
Ever since Luna was brought back, Cedric hadn’t visited.
Life been relatively peaceful for them without his presence. However, Natalie knew… it was just a temporary peace!
She received news that Kayla was critically ill.
This… was the calm before the storm.
Just then, the butler, Agnes, rushed into the children’s playroom, “Miss!” “What is it?” Natalie raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Agnes‘ grave expression, a sense of foreboding washed over her. As expected, the next moment, he uttered, “Mr. Johnson has arrived.” Natalie was silent.
As the words fell, her expression darkened slightly.
She then glanced at the nanny attending to Luna, “Spend some time with her.
As you wish, Miss.
tale stood up,addressing Agnes, “You stay here too” “Of course.” Given the past incidents, Natalie felt the need for at least three people around whenever she was away from her child.
With three caregivers present, she still felt uneasy. So, she asked Agnes to remain with themnovelbin After all, given how crazed Cedric had become for Kayla, who knew what he might do next?!
Downstairs, Cedric sat on the couch, looking disheveled. His white shirt appeared messy, and were those bloodstains on his chest?
At this moment, his disarray resembled Natalie’s from a week ago.
She had frantically raced between hospitals, nearly overturning every operating room to ensure Luna wasn’t subjected to surgery.
Seeing Cedric like this, a hint of satisfaction welled up in Natalie’s heart.
He… deserved this!
“Before I came here, she was in critical condition!” Upon hearing footsteps, Cedric didn’t turn to look at Natalie.
His voice was calm yet eerily silent.
However, that silence couldn’t mask the pain in his heart.
Standing firm, Natalie’s voice was icy cold as she said, “In that case, you should be by her side at this time.” Cedric was silent.
Upon hearing this, anger replaced the chill on his face.
She… how dare she!
With crimson eyes, he stared at Natalie as if she were a stranger. Natalie met his gaze nonchalantly, Hadn’t he given her that exact look a long time ago?
Back then..
Every time Natalie acted out because of Isabella, he would give her that icy, emotionless stare Now, it was for Isabella’s daughter!
“Natalie, how can you be so heartless?” Cedric felt as if he couldn’t even hear his own voice.
oder faced with life and death.
She seemed so indifferent!
The old Natalie would never be like this. Why had she become this way? Even her aura was chillingly repelling.
“It’s not that I’m heartless. I just love my daughter. Is that wrong?” Natalie said.
Her tone remained calm.
She was calmly reaffirming a fact!
Yes, she loved her daughter. She wasn’t a saint, but she was a mother–a mother who loved her child She simply refused to sacrifice her child for someone else.
Was she really in the wrong?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 442-Reprimand The two locked eyes in a silent confrontation.
Seeing the disappointment in Cedric’s eyes, Natalie’s gaze remained calm and unyielding.
“My child’s father doesn’t love her. You wouldn’t want even me to push her to the edge as her mother, would you?” Clearly, her words were directed at Cedric.
As she finished speaking, Cedric visibly trembled.
“I didn’t. I…” “She didn’t eat anything for three days!” Natalie’s icy interruption cut him off mid–sentence.
Cedric fell silent.
Confronted with Natalie’s calm demeanor and sharp words, he felt as if he were suffocating.
“She’s not even two years old! She doesn’t eat food from strangers. Did you want her to die?!” Cedric was speechless again!
He wanted to explain, but words failed him.
Natalie was right. That child… was still so young.
How could she have endured those three days without food?!
“You knew she was your daughter, didn’t you?” Natalie continued. novelbin Cedric remained silent.
Yes, he knew.
It was this knowledge that made his actions unforgivable to Natalie.
His favoritism had reached an intolerable extreme.
Nat.” “Have you ever asked me what formula she drinks? Do you know you can’t change a child’s formula without transitioning gradually? Have you asked what she likes to eat?” No, Cedric never asked any of those things.
To avoid her inquiries, he deliberately let his phone die and avoided the confrontation t know her formula how t give her nutrient solutions!” Natalie’s words were calm but cutting. They were like daggers aimed at Cedric’s heart, painfully piercing through.
It made him clearly realize how Natalie was now….
Looking at Natalie, Cedric tried to say something, but… Natalie was unaware that during Luna’s time on nutrient solutions, two needles had broken off inside her. Yet, even under such circumstances, Cedric didn’t relent in his decision for Luna to undergo surgery for Kayla.
“I know you blame me and hate me. But Kayla…” “So, because Isabella’s daughter was dying, you decided to risk our daughter’s life?” Natalie laughed bitterly, the irony and calmness coexisting. The pain in her words struck Cedric’s heart like a sharp blade.
“Nat.” “Cedric, for my daughter, I will stop at nothing!” Natalie’s voice was resolute and fierce.
Cedric fell silent.
A tense silence filled the room.
Once upon a time, regardless of how much Natalie despised him, that hatred was primarily based on avoiding any interaction with him.
But this time was different.
She was determined to confront him head–on, no matter what.
This incident had pushed their relationship onto a dangerous path that was suffocating and fraught with risks.
Cedric stared blankly at Natalie. “Nat…!” He had originally come here for Kayla. However, faced with the composed Natalie, he found himself tongue–tied.
Natalie could practically read his thoughts, and she couldn’t help but smirk. After all, the first thing Cedric had told her when he arrived was about Kayla’s critical condition.
Now, Cedric was so hesitant to speak.
“I didn’t expect you’d have the audacity to come find me,” she remarked sarcastically +15 BONUS This was the part that made it unthinkable.
How could he be so callous? How could he approach her for Kayla’s sake?
Just how cruel was Cedric?
How extreme was his bias toward everything related to Isabella?!
“Nat, about Kayla…” Cedric began, but the pain in his heart hindered his words.
What about Kayla?
Cedric had already told her everything previously!
Drawing a deep breath, he locked eyes with Natalie’s icy gaze. “Now that you’re a mother yourself, you understand a mother’s significance in her child’s life. And in her heart, you’re her mother. Can you not be so cruel to her?” Natalie closed her eyes, masking all her emotions A mother, huh?
That was right!
Because of Irwin’s manipulation, Kayla… assumed that Natalie was her mother.
“I sympathize with her, but I won’t sacrifice Luna for her. Leave,” Natalie responded when she opened her eyes, her voice icy and resolute.
Yes From a mother’s perspective, she did feel pity for Kayla. However, she wasn’t willing to be ensnared in someone else’s schemes, especially considering Kayla’s connection to Isabella.
Witnessing Natalie’s determination, Cedric felt a pang of pain. Before he could utter another word, his phone vibrated–it was a call from the hospital.
Casting a fleeting glance at Natalie, he answered the call.
Natalie couldn’t hear what was said on the other end, but she could tell the person was speaking urgently.
I got it.” Cedric’s voice trembled as he responded to the caller on the other end. After hanging up, he looked at Natalie. Nat, just let me- Before he could finish, Natalie splashed a glass of cold water fiercely onto Cedric’s face, meeting despairing gaze with a chilling one of her own. +15 BONUS “I don’t know what Isabella did to you, but she seems so crucial to you,” Natalie began, her tone sharp and deliberate. Cedric was at a loss for words. “But, Cedric, don’t expect me to conform to your presumptions. Also, don’t look at me like that!” she continued in an unwavering tone. Cedric remained silent. “We’re no longer connected. It’s been that way for a long time. Whether you’re burdened with despair or debts, it’s none of my concern!” Her words flowed cold and heartless, echoing her sentiments. Indeed, no reasoning could sway Natalie now. As she had once told Cedric, whatever pain he endured in this life was his own doing. And as for Isabella, even if she met an end while unconscious, it would be her due retribution. After all, the retaliation Isabella had directed at Natalie, including the fire at Scarlet Villa, was undeniably real. Given these undeniable events, one couldn’t expect Natalie to be swayed by anythi “Natalie, Isabella did all this for you-” Cedric began again, trying to reason. “Wasn’t I clear enough?” Natalie interrupted, her gaze piercing. The coldness in her eyes left Cedric with a stark realization no matter what he said or did, he couldn’t change Natalie’s mind. Though her words seemed light, she didn’t know how much Isabella had suffered in her final
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 443-What Does Sacrifice Even Mean?
Natalie took life too lightly!
Did she think losing one’s life was so easy for someone?
Otherwise, why this indifferent attitude?
However, Cedric seemed to forget that life and death were incredibly heavy burdens for Natalie.
The blaze at Scarlet Villa and the detention center..!
She could vividly remember even now… what it felt like when the flames burned her… And the injuries she had suffered…!
How did Cedric have any right to accuse her of being cold–hearted?
Comparing her suffering to what he and Isabella endured, what did their sacrifices even mean?
He claimed he did it all for her.
Natalie pondered if Cedric thought he was responsible for her rebirth too.
Yet, even if that were the case, so what?
The moment he threatened Luna, any warmth between them turned to ice.
Cedric left.
Natalie seemed indifferent to Kayla’s situation, engrossed in playing with Luna when Irwin arrived.
“I heard you were looking for me?” Irwin approached and said in a gentle tone as he casually interacted with Luna.
Luna usually avoided strangers. Unexpectedly, she seemed to adore Irwin. When she saw him, she reached out for him to hold her.
Taking Luna into his arms, Irwin remarked, “She’s lost weight.” Natalie was silent, but this comment startled her. It instantly reminded her of Luna’s distressing days with her biological father.
Luna had cried for three days in her sleep after she returned. It was obvious that she had been Frightened by her time with Cedric rob you can tell she has lost weight, while her own father couldn’t.
Cedric couldn’t tell?
More accurately, he didn’t care enough to see it, right?
But then again, Cedric’s thoughts were consumed by Kayla’s life–and–death situation, leaving little room for concern about Luna.
After a brief interaction, Irwin handed Luna to her nanny.
“So, why did you want to see me?” He reached for Natalie’s cold hand.
Over the past two years, Natalie’s health seemed to deteriorate, her hands always cold to the touch.
Despite the efforts of the Jarvis family to improve her health, the damage seemed irreparable.
“I heard you’re returning to Wexford?” Natalie inquired.
Wexford?
Irwin had suffered many losses previously in Wexford. That was also when his friendship with Stephen started to change.
Yet, Irwin’s demeanor remained unchanged, and he still visited the Jarvis family as always.
However, their relationship was obviously strained due to the half of the documents. Irwin had even told Natalie she had no right to negotiate terms with him in the last phone call.
Since their falling out, Natalie realized Irwin was a man with many layers she had yet to uncover “Yes,” he confirmed.
Natalie fell silent.
Wexford was proving to be more complicated than Natalie initially assumed.
“I’ll accompany you,” Natalie decided, gazing squarely at Irwin.
Irwin was silent. But the moment Natalie said that, the air around him seemed to become colder.
His gaze locked onto Natalie’s, deeper and more inscrutable than before.
She wanted to go to Wexford with him?
Why?” His voice, already deep and enigmatic, grew even more so.
The last time, she’d been unwilling to set foot in Wexford regardless of his persuasions.
He had even tried to bring her there by force!
Did she now see something that she didn’t before?
bet it was the chaos in Wexford or concerns about Cedric, she had never fully oraspad thi +15 BONUS intricacies of the situation.
Natalie moved towards the French window, her eyes distant and cool.
After a moment, she said, “Because Cedric plans to return to Wexford.” Irwin was silent.
Cedric was returning? The very notion seemed to freeze him over.
“Do you understand the implications of this decision?” Irwin’s voice tightened with urgency.
Hearing that Cedric intended to return to Wexford, he doubted Natalie was going there for Cedric’s sake Everything that had unfolded recently, she’d witnessed it all because of Irwin.
“Irwin, your schemes have borne fruit,” Natalie intoned with a deep gravity.
Schemes?
Indeed, it had all started as a plan.
But plans often took unexpected turns…!
“If you truly mattered to him, you wouldn’t be privy to all this!” he retorted.
A bitter smile touched Natalie’s l*ps, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.
“You’re right, she admitted All of this stemmed from Cedric, didn’t it?
Meeting Irwin’s eyes again, there was a depth there that even he struggled to fathom.
He had always prided himself on reading people, yet now he found Natalie an enigma Her decision to accompany him to Wexford–what was the real motive behind it? novelbin Natalie cut through the tension, her voice sharp and determined. “I have one question for you.” Irwin “What?” How many of your schemes remain unfinished?” Isabella’s proximity to Cedric and Kayla appearing at Natalie’s side–all of these were part of Irwin’s manipulations.
So, how many more were left unfinished?
But what else was left?
+15 BONUS My goals have been achieved; there’s no need for further scheming,” he said, approaching her. He gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a gesture both intimate and captivating.
“One last question.” “You’re quite insatiable, Nat.” “Your issues with him aren’t just about Wexford, are they? What deep–seated enmity exists between you two?” Natalie’s question was direct, as she surmised that there must be something monumental between Irwin and Cedric.
Otherwise, why would Irwin’s schemes span a decade?
Irwin chuckled. It was a deep and resonant sound.
Evading Natalie’s direct inquiry, he said, “Are you sure you want to come with me to Wexford?” Natalie was speechless.
He was evading her. This made Natalie more certain than ever that the rift between Irwin and Cedric ran deeper than she’d initially thought.
Reflecting on a photograph she once saw in Stephen’s study, the camaraderie between the two had seemed genuine!
The smiles, the genuine warmth in their eyes–what could have possibly escalated their relationship to such a point of animosity?
Irwin was not a man who did things casually, and his decade–long scheming against Cedric spoke volumes.
“Fine,” she conceded, deciding not to press further.
If Irwin chose to keep his reasons hidden, she would respect his privacy.
A softer expression appeared in Irwin’s eyes.
“So, are you using me this time?” Using?
That was right!
Irwin knew exactly why Natalie wanted to go to Wexford with him. Given Cedric’s bold moves, Natalie had no intention of simply letting things slide.
– Given your past manipulations of me, is this even a concern?” Natalie retorted.
Tsuppose this levels the playing field,” he retorted “You have quite the nerve!” Natalie’s tone carried a hint of indignation.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 444-You’re in for It “Level the playing field?” Irwin’s words seemed too casual. He played with a strand of her hair. It had a pleasant scent, evident from the slight satisfaction on his l*ps.
“Is that unacceptable?” His voice softened.
No one could resist his gentle approach.
But Natalie shot back, “Are you prepared to endure a pain a thousand times greater than mine?” Indeed, pain!
Irwin’s words seemed trivial. novelbin While Cedric was the root cause of everything that transpired between them, there was no doubt that Irwin played a significant role behind the scenes.
The extent of Natalie’s suffering was known to no one!
Level the playing field?
Forgiveness?!
Why bother seeking forgiveness if he had done it in the first place?
Natalie… would never forgive all the people involved in this.
If you inflict it, I’ll endure it.” Irwin said. He gazed deeply into her eyes, masking emotions that Natalie couldn’t quite decipher.
It was fleeting, a momentary lapse that made Natalie question herself. Irwin seemed so unpredictable, and she knew better than to trust him.
Her journey to Wexford with Irwin was merely a ploy to deeply unsettle Cedric using a man she deemed most manipulative.
“Hah… Let’s not delve too deep. That’s not like you,‘ she remarked.
Irwin was silent.
As the conversation moved forward, a fleeting emotion appeared in his eyes.
“Her emotional fortress was indeed formidable.
It seemed that Irwin couldn’t break through it, no matter what he did But if she was willing to go to Wexford, there would be ample opportunities, right?
“Can you bear to leave Luna behind?” Irwin inquired.
Luna!
Anyone familiar with Natalie knew of her deep affection for her daughter. Given the length of their stay in Wexford, would she leave Luna behind?
Natalie replied, “Of course not.” Yet, she had to go to Wexford.
Maubo we Irwin began, could-” “No need!” Natalie interrupted, refusing even to entertain his suggestion.
She would never allow Luna to grow up under the same sky as Cedric, especially considering his suffocating favoritism toward Kayla!
Leaving Luna in Simeria… was the best choice!
“Nat, actually I can…” “When are we leaving?” Natalie interrupted Irwin once again.
He could what?
Natalie wasn’t interested!
Irwin could see that Natalie was completely indifferent to feelings and relationships now. The only thing she had in her heart was Luna.
She would never allow anything or anyone to hurt Luna.
Meanwhile, Bianca approached Natalie upon hearing about her impending trip to Wexford.
“Have you truly decided?” Concern clouded Bianca’s eyes.
Taking a sip of her coffee, Natalie nodded firmly. “Yes.” She was going!
At this point, Natalie realized that unless she sorted things out completely, neither she nor Luna would ever find peace.
“He hasn’t tried to take Luna from you, has he?” Bianca looked at Natalie with probing eyes, her voice tinged with tension.
Upon hearing Bianca’s question, Natalie chuckled +18 BONUS The laughter was bittersweet.
When Luna was born, she had been afraid to keep her close, fearing that Cedric would snatch the child away.
But this time, he had indeed found out. He also took her…!
But he hadn’t taken Luna because he loved her.
He had taken Luna to save Kayla.
“His world revolves around Kayla. Why would he try to take Luna from me? Bia, do you know… I never imagined that Cedric would one day take Luna from me to save Isabella’s child,” Natalie said.
Indeed, it was a revelation!
No one had anticipated that Cedric’s intention in taking Luna was to save Isabella’s daughter.
Bianca looked at Natalie with a mixture of pity and concern. She wanted to say something comforting but found no words. Eventually, she sighed, her tone tinged with resignation.
The relationship between Natalie and Cedric felt like a continuous trial, with every encounter bringing its set of challenges. The Johnson family had given her enough trouble, and just when things seemed better with them, Cedric’s actions dragged her into turmoil.
This trip to Wexford was undoubtedly Natalie’s attempt to rise from this abyss.
“What about you and Lord Zane? That matter…” Natalie inquired.
I haven’t seen him since that day,” Bianca replied.
Zane had been unusually occupied lately, and discussing such matters over the phone seemed inappropriate.
“Be careful with Lord Malcolm!” Natalie cautioned.
She was still worried about Bianca, especially when she thought about the latter’s current situation. Natalie remembered how terrible Malcolm was and couldn’t help but worry more.
Bianca smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Natalie grasped Bianca’s cold hand, at a loss for words Two years!
Natalie was well aware of how Bianca had spent the two years by Malcolm’s side.
Given Bianca’s nature, Natalie knew she wasn’t going to let things go so easily.
However, it was extremely dangerous to go against a man like Malcolm, and Natalie couldn’t stop worrying.
+15 BONUS Later, after receiving a call, Bianca left. But as soon as she stepped out of Lotus Villa, Conrad intercepted her.
His eyes bore a mysterious intensity as he said, “Ms. Sanders, Lord Malcolm wishes to see you.
“Mind your tone!” Ms Sanders?
Conrad’s expression shifted momentarily. Then, he respectfully bowed to Bianca.
“I’m currently unavailable,” Bianca said.
Meet Malcolm?
Did that man think he could see her whenever he wanted? Did he think things were still the same as usual?
Hmph!
“Stop going to the hospital,” Conrad said in an icy tone just as Bianca stepped into her car.
The hospital?
Indeed, Bianca had been frequenting the hospital recently Why?
Whenever she heard Malcolm leaving the hospital, she would rush over immediately.
There was an irreconcilable conflict between her and Jade.
On two occasions, Malcolm’s men had tried to stop Bianca, but she had assertively pushed her way through.
It was easy to guess what had happened between her and Jade during those times.
Now, Jade’s condition was critical!
With her delicate health, she couldn’t withstand the commotion Bianca caused.
Hence, every time Malcolm received news of a disturbance, he had to rush back.
Several crucial matters had been delayed due to Bianca’s actions, leading to growing discontent among those around him.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 445-And to the people at Malcolm’s side, it was evident that Bianca’s actions were deliberate!
At this crucial juncture for the Entes family, her current actions, being Zane’s wife, undoubtedly aligned with Zane’s interests.
Bianca smirked at the frosty Conrad. “Tsk, is Lord Malcolm’s right–hand man trying to command me now?” “Lady Bianca!” Conrad’s tone grew sterner.
Bianca’s expression instantly cooled. “So, you still remember that I’m the seventh lord’s wife? Anyone unfamiliar might think you’re my master from how you talked to me.
“I wouldn’t dare!” “He’s not at the hospital now?” “It’s risky for you to act this way. Lord Malcolm doesn’t have time for your antics,” Conrad responded He noted the provocative glint in her eyes and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Bianca caught Conrad’s reaction, and her smirk widened.
Her antics, huh?
What, Malcolm couldn’t handle a little play?
“You’re mistaken. I’m merely returning the favor. Once, I had no time for Malcolm’s antics either.” Back then, was Bianca not swamped?
She had been overwhelmed with work and endless legal battles.
But in the end? novelbin Malcolm ruined everything!
“Since I have nothing else to do because of him, shouldn’t I entertain myself with him? What do you think, Conrad?” Bianca’s smirk deepened when she saw Conrad’s face darken further. With a graceful swivel, she climbed into her car and departed with an enviable grace.
After Bianca left. Conrad remained rooted in place, lost in thought.
When a woman became ruthless and unpredictable, there was hardly any telling what would ben to the men around her.
Coincidentally, Malcolm was present when Bianca arrived at the hospital!
His intense gaze was fixed on her, and the cigarette in his hand had burned down to its butt. There was a dangerous air around him, and it seemed like he had been waiting for her.
Bianca paused momentarily, then smirked. “I thought you weren’t here.” Malcolm responded, “Bianca, everything should be done in moderation!” “And do you understand the concept of ‘moderation‘, Lord Malcolm?” Bianca’s l*ps curved into a smile, but the warmth didn’t quite reach her eyes.
Undoubtedly, her current demeanor radiated a challenging aura.
With a casual flick, Malcolm sent the cigarette butt sailing through the air in a graceful arc, landing it precisely into the ashtray.
“Impressive, isn’t it?” He smirked at her.
Bianca could clearly feel the danger radiating from the man’s smirk.
“Quite impressive,” Bianca said dismissively.
“Do you think something else would be just as accurate?” Malcolm challenged.
“Why not give it a try?” she retorted.
Malcolm fell silent, and the tension in the room thickened noticeably.
He had to admit that Bianca really gave off a fearless vibe at that moment!
Bianca stepped forward, reaching out to straighten Malcolm’s slightly disheveled collar.
She smirked and said, “It seems you were in quite a rush to return here, huh?” The people around them sucked in a cold breath.
Bianca was really courting death…!
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere grew tense and dangerous!
Malcolm gripped her shoulder tightly and pressed her firmly against the cold wall, Do you think I don’t dare hurt you now?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 446-Malcolm gripped her shoulder tightly and pressed her firmly against the cold wall, Do you think I don’t dare hurt you now?” What Don’t You Dare to Do?
“Of course you dare. What don’t you dare to do? Haven’t you always acted without any boundaries?” Bianca’s smile deepened.
Her breathing was slightly labored with how hard Malcolm was pressing down on her shoulder, but she didn’t show the slightest hint of fear.
She only continued to glare at him with a challenging glint in her eyes.
It made one wish they could gouge out her eyes.
Once, her rebellious spirit seemed fascinating. It had made Malcolm want to tame her.
But now, it just irked him Malcolm only wanted to see how Bianca would look when she finally relented.
Unfortunately this woman was too cunning!
Before he could subdue her, she immediately clung to his dear brother, Zane! She had actually novelbin sided with him!
She had positioned herself directly against him, a situation Malcolm had never anticipated.
He never imagined that he’d lose control over Bianca.
And now, he had no time to play with her!
“Enough already. Just stop it, okay?” Malcolm’s voice was laced with danger.
Bianca responded, “What, you don’t want my kidney anymore?” Her laughter grew even more menacing and mocking.
He had been so insistent on using her kidney to save Jade before this!
Seeing the danger lurking in the man’s eyes, Bianca glanced towards a nearby hospital bed.
“How long has it been since she woke up? How long more can she wait?” Without warning, the pressure on her shoulder intensified Meeting her gaze again, Malcolm saw an even more vindictive smile in her eyes.
This smile was laden with vengeful satisfaction!
She wasn’t siding with anyone anymore.
stesd, she sought revenge!
+15 BONUS Every move she made now was to retaliate against Malcolm for everything he had done to ruin her At the most critical moment for the Entes family, she was like a rabid dog. She relentlessly lunged and attacked, tearing at him without mercy.
During this period, he had witnessed her recklessness!
Just as she had proclaimed, she would stop at nothing! Even if she couldn’t defeat him, she would ensure he faced severe consequences.
For a very, very long time… danger filled the hospital room.
Malcolm’s grip alternated between light and tight. Eventually, he forcefully pushed Bianca away as his rationality shattered.
“In two years, where do you see yourself?” he asked.
“What?” Bianca was puzzled by the sudden change of topic.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions “Where do you see yourself in that position in two years?” That position?
This time, Bianca understood.
A smirk played on her l*ps.
Before she could respond, Malcolm cut in with a dangerous edge to his voice, “A partner?” “You seem to forget something,” she replied “What’s that?” “I was already a partner by thank Indeed, through her own efforts, Bianca had risen to the rank of a partner.
“Tomorrow, go to Zephyr Law Firm! You’ll be their highest–ranking partner,” Malcolm declared.
Bianca let out a cold laugh.
So, was this man admitting defeat? Was this his way of compensating her for her revenge?
But did he truly believe this was compensation?
What’s so funny?” Malcolm’s eyes darkened, sensing something he couldn’t quite fathom.
What a rare sight. To see Lord Malcolm admit defeat!” Bianca teased The words struck Malcolm hard. He had never bowed down to anyone in his life.
+15 BOWEJS Clearly, he was offering her this compensation because she had become a nuisance.
Yet, Bianca didn’t seem satisfied with that Observing the anger evident in Malcolm’s eyes, Bianca continued, “Unfortunately… you’re far too arrogant, Malcolm.” The emphasis on his name was particularly biting.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 447-Malcolm’s already grim expression darkened further. His eyes flared with a crimson hue when she emphasized his name. He suddenly found his name to be so jarring when she spoke it.
“Do you even have the right?” he shot back “Whether I do or not, I’m currently the seventh lord’s wife. Etiquette dictates I should address you as Malcolm,” she retorted coolly.
Her audacity was unparalleled!
“Malcolm, do you think replacing something so valuable with something similar can truly compensate for the loss?“.
“What are you implying?” Was Bianca saying she wouldn’t accept it?
Bianca retorted without hesitation, “When I was a partner, I got there by my own effort! I had everyone’s trust, which was how I obtained my unshakable position! What you’re giving me now… do you think it’s the same? Can what you offer me even compare to what I had?” Indeed, it couldn’t.
Bianca’s reputation in Verde City wasn’t just that of a partner. It was of someone truly trustworthy. With her at the helm, there was no way her client would lose their case.
Could Malcolm’s offering ever match that?
Even if Malcolm now thrust her into the pinnacle of power, it would never equate to what she had achieved on her own.
Malcolm was frustrated when he saw her mocking smile. Before he could say anything, Bianca suddenly leaned closer.
Her warm breath sent chills down his spine.
“You never consider compensating me when you destroyed everything I had, right?” she whispered Malcolm was momentarily speechless, and his anger reached an unprecedented peak.
The provocative tone she used made him feel as if there were no reconciliation possible, making him want to throttle her right then and there, No one had dared challenge him like this before!
His ‘instinctive reaction was to reach out and…!
However, all he was left with was Bianca’s mocking laughter as she retreated, the echoes of her tounts ringing in his ears.
Malcolm slammed a fist into the icy wall, wishing it were Bianca’s head.
From the sidelines, Conrad watched in alarm!
The way Bianca continued to provoke Malcolm made him fear for the worst. Especially recalling the way she had pronounced Malcolm’s name earlier… Even from a distance, Conrad could sense the visible change in Malcolm.
This was turning into a disaster…!
He could hardly fathom what would unfold next Meanwhile, Cedric had already taken Kayla to Wexford.
Natalie received news of it shortly after. “The private jet from an hour ago?” “Yes, Miss,” Julian replied respectfully.
Natalie closed her eyes, memories flooding back–images of the child she had seen that day and Cedric’s countless audacious claims.
Then Clyde approached.
Observing Natalie’s furrowed brow, Julian made his exit. Once he departed, only Natalie and Clyde remained in the room.
Clyde broke the silence. “Are you really going to Wexford with him?” By ‘him‘, Clyde was referring to Irwin. Having spent time around Wexford, Clyde was well aware that the dynamics between Cedric and Irwin were far from amicable.
Natalie responded with determination evident in her voice, “Don’t I need to reclaim something?” novelbin In the past, she might have let things slide!
However, Cedric had done something he never should have done in his life… He had targeted Luna!
That was something Natalie couldn’t overlook.
When Clyde heard this, his frown deepened.
“Have you ever considered what Isabella might have done that’s so crucial to him?” Clyde voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 448-It Doesn’t Matter Anymore After all, when one set Isabella aside, Cedric’s relentless pursuit of Natalie showcased his deep intentions.
Yet, every time Isabella’s name came up, matters spiraled out of control. novelbin This had been a question others had posed before.
Bianca had also asked this.
Back then, how had Natalie responded?
“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Indeed, it didn’t matter anymore When Clyde echoed the same question, Natalie’s response remained unchanged.
Why Isabella held such significance to Cedric was of no interest to her. Regardless of Isabella’s importance, messing with Luna was unacceptable!
Clyde observed the evident hostility that clouded Natalie whenever Cedric’s name surfaced, but he refrained from voicing his thoughts.
“Will Julian accompany us?” he asked, changing the topic.
“No, he won’t,” Natalie affirmed.
“And what about Leon? He’s already there,” Clyde pressed.
“No need for him either.” “You…” None of them?
What was she planning?
Natalie reassured Clyde, “I’ll manage everything.” To her, Wexford seemed like a dark abyss. Involving more people would only add to the complexity.
Having looked into Julian and Leon, she knew they bore significant responsibilities toward their families. Even if it was their job…..
But she Forget it!
The fewer people involved in Wexford’s tangled affairs, the better.
“Once we’re there, Daphne Turner will approach you. If you need anything, just let her know.” “A woman?
“Yeah. Clyde nodded, his eyes revealing no emotion.
However, according to his reaction, Natalie knew the person Clyde mentioned was trustworthy. And since Daphne was from Wexford, it meant that if any urgent situation arose, she would likely be of help This time, Natalie nodded without protest. “Alright, I got it.” “When do we leave?” “It depends on Irwin.” With Cedric already taking Kayla back to Wexford, it wouldn’t be long before Irwin settled his affairs in Simeria.
Upon hearing that Natalie would be traveling with Irwin, Clyde felt a surge of concern.
“Be careful,” he warned.
“I will,” Natalie assured with a nod As she had anticipated, it only took Irwin three days to settle his matters after Cedric had taken. Kayla to Wexford.
The timeframe suggested that Irwin wasn’t in a rush. However, Natalie didn’t probe further. During those three days, she remained close to Luna.
The atmosphere at Lotus Villa grew tense. Heather looked at Natalie, struggling to find words.
Eventually, Natalie said, “I’ll come back.” “I know.” “It’s just…” Heather trailed off.
While she knew Natalie’s resilience, thinking about the challenges ahead weighed heavily on her heart.
Natalie reassured the older woman, “Things will work out, Mom.” “Has it really come to this between you two?” Heather’s voice carried a hint of tension.
While Cedric was an unpleasant man, it was a little outrageous that the relationship between him and Natalie had reached this point Natalie sighed deeply, “For now, this step is necessary” Indeed, it was a bridge that had to be crossed Since they couldn’t reach an agreement before this, the events unfolding now couldn’t solely be blamed on Natalie.
“Oh, why did Luna have to have such a father?” Heather lamented, her heart aching for the child.
Even Stephen, who had once been willing to give Cedric a chance, had now reached his limit with him.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 449-A Laughable Compensation At the breakfast table, Natalie carefully fed Luna.
“Little moon, open wide!” Natalie’s tone was playful and gentle. Luna smiled radiantly and obediently opened her mouth, revealing adorable little teeth that melted hearts.
How could anyone resist such a sweet child?
And how could Cedric, of all people?.
Thinking of Cedric, a coldness flashed in Natalie’s eyes. But being beside her daughter, she quickly suppressed it, softening her gaze as she looked at Luna.
The family was enjoying a pleasant moment until a servant entered, disrupting the serene atmosphere.
“Sir, Madam,” the servant began hesitantly.
“What is it?” Heather’s brows furrowed at the sight of the items the servant held.
Though the items were elegantly packaged in high–end gift boxes, Natalie and Heather instantly recognized them as top–tier brands they were familiar with due to Luna “Mr. Johnson had his people send these for Miss Luna…” the servant explained, noting the palpable tension in the room. “They left as soon as they dropped off the items, and..!” Since the items were all high–end, so he…?!
Natalie’s expression darkened, “Dispose of them all,” she ordered icily.
She had no desire for whatever Cedric sent, regardless of its luxurious branding. It was a pity to throw them away, but her child…!
Cedric’s choices in the hospital had made him irrelevant in Luna’s life.
What was the point of such gifts after doing what he had done? To buy forgiveness?
“Throw them out!” Heather echoed, her expression equally stern They had no need for these items cluttering their space, especially when Luna’s room was already overflowing.
“Y–yes, ma’am!” How could a mere servant protest if the ladies of the house had ordered the items to be thrown out?
The servant hurriedly took the items away Yet, moments later, he returned, looking even more uncertain “Madam, these items. !” The luxurious items were one thing, but these ?!
Heather took it, inspecting its contents. Inside the folder were property documents, all in order.
She handed them to Clyde. “Deal with this.” The arrival of these items felt like a bitter irony to them. Even without examining them closely, Natalie knew precisely what they were.
What did Cedric think he was accomplishing with these gifts? Did he believe that such compensation would ease his guilt?
Hah! What an arrogant man.
“Alright,” Clyde acknowledged, taking charge of the situation. novelbin Heather moved closer to Luna, gently caressing the child’s head.
“Luna doesn’t need any of this,” Heather murmured softly.
On the other side, Cedric had already transported Kayla to Wexford. Soon after their arrival, the child was swiftly ushered into surgery.
It had to be said that Cedric’s subordinates were efficient.
Inside the vehicle, Cedric exuded an air of nobility as he massaged his throbbing temple.
Then, he asked, “Have those items been delivered?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 450-What’s the Situation?
Even after resolving Kayla’s situation, Cedric found no solace in the first few days.
The tear–streaked face of his daughter haunted his thoughts incessantly.
“I’ve arranged for them to be delivered.” Lucas nodded in affirmation.
Unexpectedly, Cedric had transferred everything he owned in Simeria to Luna’s name!
It made sense. After all, Luna was his daughter.
Cedric felt that it wouldn’t be enough even if he gave her his entire world.
Many witnessed Cedric’s distressing actions towards Luna at the Simeria hospital, but few understood his desperation. Almost everyone around him could understand how important Luna was to him!
At this moment in the hospital, Kayla remained unconscious.
Due to the turmoil caused by Natalie that fateful night in Simeria, Kayla naturally suffered.
“How is she?” Cedric inquired.
“Don’t worry, Your Excellency. Miss Kayla’s condition is gradually improving.” Cedric’s people had transferred Kayla to their specialized hospital immediately upon Hearing this update undoubtedly gave them the most relief they had felt in days.
return Cedric audibly exhaled a sigh of relief and left the hospital.
Lucas followed behind Cedric. Just before exiting the hospital, Lucas had received a call.
“Your Excellency, Madam, she…” Lucas hesitated for a split second, his eyes shadowed with concern.
“What?” Cedric demanded.
At the mention of Natalie, Cedric’s heart clenched painfully. The recent breakdown she suffered at the hospital became a haunting vision, and it tormented him ceaselessly.
How had things deteriorated to such an extent between them?
But in actuality…!
Regardless of the reasons, it was evident that he had caused Natalie’s breakdown!
“She’s coming to Wexford with Mr. Frazier,” Lucas finally revealed.
Cedric remained silent for a moment, processing the information. The already tense atmosphere grew even colder, almost freezing in its intensity.
Natalie was coming to Wexford now?! At this critical juncture?
Did she even realize the state Wexford was currently in? Especially coming with Irwin–what were her intentions? Hadn’t she severed ties with Irwin recently? What was she planning now?
Numerous questions flashed through Cedric’s mind, but Lucas’s next words sent an even chillier wave over him “She’s coming as Mr. Frazier’s fiancee,” Lucas stated.
“Has she lost her mind?” Cedric’s voice was filled with disbelief and a hint of desperation Natalie wasn’t only crazy….
Was this… her revenge on him?
Yes, that must be it!
Cedric was certain of it. Otherwise, why would she come to Wexford like this if she had dropped all pretenses with Irwin?
Lucas sighed deeply. “About what happened to the child… Likely, Madam won’t let it go so easily.” Indeed, the child novelbin No matter what had transpired between them before, Natalie’s predominant response had always. been to distance herself from him.
But this time, she seemed to have become completely different.
She wasn’t avoiding Cedric anymore.
Given the current situation in Wexford, it was the last thing she should be involved in.
Why hadn’t he been transparent about Wexford with her over the years? He had wanted to protect her and to keep her world uncontaminated.
But now, not only was she involved, but she was also ensnared in such a manner that it was deeply concerning.
Lucas sensed the weight of Cedric’s worry and asked, “What should we do now?” Cedric’s voice was low and filled with determination, “What’s the situation now?” “Mr. Frazier is expected back tomorrow, but the news has already leaked!” Lucas replied cautiously.
Tomorrow?” Cedric repeated incredulously The news was already out even before Irwin’s return? The audacity of such a move unmistakably bore Irwin’s signature.
And by all indications, Natalie had agreed with his method!
