Ch. 511..520
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 511-She Guessed It All Natalie shook her head. “It’s not that cold!” Everything Irwin had prepared was top–notch. Though she looked a little puffy and resembled an actual penguin, Natalie genuinely didn’t feel the cold much.
Irwin looked at her and smiled.
There was a skiing resort in Mount Elven where winter holidaymakers gathered. Irwin had brought her here via helicopter.
Looking down, they saw a vast area filled with crowds, exuding sheer joy.
“So, this used to be your world,” Natalie remarked as she looked below.
Irwin was slightly stunned when he heard that, and he fell silent.
He tightened his grip on Natalie’s hand and sighed deeply.
“Nat, we agreed not to talk about the past this month.” “But are you truly present?” Natalie remarked piercingly, her gaze into Irwin’s eyes becoming even more profound.
Irwin remained silent.
Indeed, was he truly living in the present at this moment?
“She holds a significant place in your heart, doesn’t she?” Again, Irwin remained silent.
Natalie’s hand in his suddenly felt heavier.
Natalie observed a flicker of change in his eyes. She could decipher every nuance.
Being naturally perceptive, Natalie had always sensed a deep–rooted conflict between Irwin and Cedric.
What was so confidential that they couldn’t tell her?
A decade was a long time. In that time, Cedric had never breathed a word about it in her presence, and he’d always been evasive about his relationship with Irwin.
And Irwin had kept her in the dark as well!
Given that he had promptly whisked her away from Wexford upon sensing Casey’s impending discovery, it was evident he was desperate to hide something from her.
“Nat!” 15 BONUS “Regardless of the conflict, it’s between you and Cedric, isn’t it? Why so secretive about it?” Since she had to investigate it, it meant the matter at hand was undoubtedly complicated. Cedric and Irwin must have wiped all traces from back then.
Apart frein the involvement of another woman, what could be the reason?
As for that woman’s identity and significance, Natalie was at a loss.
“You…!” Irwin gazed at Natalie in disbelief.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected Natalie to figure it out. But then again, what else could make both Cedric and Irwin so anxious about Natalie knowing besides another woman?
The helicopter landed on a helipad at the ski resort, yet they didn’t disembark. The two locked eyes in profound silence for what felt like an eternity.
Finally, Irwin broke the silence. “Since you know, you should understand why I didn’t want to tell you. Because…‘ 11 “Because what? It doesn’t matter anymore!” Natalie interrupted him, cutting him off mid- sentence.
At her words, Irwin’s eyes darkened noticeably. novelbin “It’s irrelevant,” she reiterated coldly, looking straight into his eyes.
A woman!
Hah…!
Things had reached a point where there was no longer a need to stay in Mount Elven, especially since Natalie had finally caught on.
They returned by helicopter. Once they reached the manor they had been staying at, Irwin instructed his men to pack up for a return to Wexford.
Natalie sat quietly on the couch, holding a coffee cup. Her eyes were calm yet profoundly deep.
No one could tell what was truly running through her mind. Whatever emotion was surging within her, she buried it deep down, and no one could discern its nature.
Irwin took a seat beside her, inhaling deeply as if trying to find the right words. Yet, at that moment, he seemed utterly speechless.
“What was her name?” Natalie finally broke the silence.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 512-Overwhelming Resentment Irwin’s swallowed harshly, feeling as if there was something stuck in his throat.
Too calm Natalie’s tone was too eerily calm.
Irwin’s gaze rested upon her serene profile, and he felt choked up inside. “Nat!” “Is it a taboo?” Natalie’s lips curled into a smile, but that very smile was enough to unsettle anyone.
The glint in her eyes was as chilling as a blade.
Irwin averted his gaze from her face and uttered, “Blair Russell.” “Blair… That’s a beautiful name.” However, that name struck a nerve with Natalie at this moment.
Irwin tried to say something more, but words failed him.
Finally, he murmured, “Nat, it’s not good for a woman to be too clever in matters of the heart.
Not good?
Natalie sneered but said nothing more.
That cold sneer made Irwin’s heart tightened.
In Wexford, Cedric had been frantically searching for Natalie, turning almost every possible location Irwin might have taken her upside down.
Finally, when he discovered they were in Mount Elven and was about to rush there personally, Lucas informed him, “They’re already on their way back.” Cedric froze, eyebrows twitching at the news.
“Where’s Casey now?” Casey!
Now that Natalie was returning, Clyde, who had been so uncooperative, would undoubtedly pass on the news to her.
“You forget that Mr. Yarbrough already knows,” Lucas replied.
1/3 +15 BONUS So, it was a secret that couldn’t be kept.
These past days had been tormenting for Cedric, and Lucas’s words felt like an explosion in his mind.
Irwin had taken Natalie away, and the anxiety gnawing at him was palpable!
Now that she was finally coming back…!
His feelings were overwhelming. Thinking about how he would need to face her soon… He took a few deep breaths, but he couldn’t shake off the heaviness in his heart.
On the plane, Natalie sat silently by the window. novelbin Irwin wanted to approach her but felt an unmistakable aura of rejection emanating from her, keeping him at bay.
Beneath her seemingly calm demeanor, no one could fathom the tumultuous emotions churning within Natalie.
After obtaining Blair’s name, Natalie didn’t pose any further questions. Yet, answers that should have naturally surfaced began to unfold.
Irwin took a deep breath and said, “Nat…” Natalie interrupted, “Did Cedric get close to me because of her?” Irwin’s heart felt like it was caught in a vice, choking him momentarily. Before he could respond, Natalie continued, “Never mind. I will… uncover everything, bit by bit!” A decade–long relationship.
Ten years of emotions.
How laughable it seemed now!
Upon hearing Natalie’s determination, Irwin felt as if his heart had leaped into his throat.
She would uncover everything bit by bit?
And then what?
Given her recent actions driven by revenge against both him and Cedric, what would she do if she discovered that their entire decade–long relationship was built on deception?
To Irwin, it seemed Nátalie’s resentment had surged to an overwhelming level due to Luna and Irwin’s decade–long deceit and machinations.
2/3 +15 BONUS If Natalie were to learn that Cedric’s closeness to her was also influenced by Blair, then… “Nat, things aren’t as you think. His feelings for you were genuine,” Irwin said, his voice quivering with an undertone of strain.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 513-All Because of Her Genuine?
When Irwin uttered those words for Cedric, Natalie laughed. Her laughter was icy and dripping with sarcasm.
“Is anything you two tell me even real or genuine anymore?” Genuine?
What was genuine?
After years of lying, one would even start to believe in their own falsehoods.
Wasn’t that the case with Irwin and Cedric?
Genuine… hah!
“What exactly were you three to each other?” Natalie’s tone was chillingly cold, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Irwin fell silent, unable to respond.
What had they been to each other?
In that fleeting moment, profound pain surged in his eyes. It vanished as quickly as it came, replaced by a stoic calm.
“Never mind. As I said, I’ll unravel everything, bit by bit!” She repeated the words she had said moments ago. Her teeth clenched, her voice dripping with venom and resentment, causing anyone who heard it to wince.
Irwin looked deep into her eyes. At that moment, the emptiness in his heart felt more profound than ever before.
She was…!
This was why, despite their intense animosity toward each other, neither Irwin nor Cedric ever let their true feelings surface in front of Natalie.
They never used it against each other, knowing full well the devastating impact it would have on Cedric if Natalie were to find out.
Cedric also knew it.
So, while Cedric and Irwin harbored animosity towards each other, they never let it affect this particular matter.
1/3 Finally, they were back in Wexford.
+15 BONUS Irwin handed Natalie her phone. His eyes betrayed a mix of emotions, but Natalie snatched the phone from him with force. novelbin Irwin remained silent.
In front of him, Natalie dialed Casey’s number. Just as she started the call, Irwin spoke before she could.
“Casey isn’t in Wexford.” “How swift you are with your information!” Natalie’s voice dripped with irony.
Irwin remained silent.
When had it begun? Every time something related to her came up, he was always the first to know.
The call went through.
Casey’s respectful voice came through, “Miss.” “You’re not in Wexford?” “I’ve sent the information to your email,” Casey replied calmly, having discerned Natalie’s tone from the other end of the line.
Natalie responded, “Alright.” Then, she promptly ended the call.
Irwin had been by her side all this while.
Natalie moved to a nearby sofa and opened her mobile email. Numerous recent emails were displayed, but she scrolled down until she found Casey’s email.
The moment she opened it, she sensed the subtle change in the man’s breathing from a distance.
The email contained detailed information, spanning over ten pages. Clearly, Casey had meticulously organized and explained the entire situation.
Half an hour passed, and Irwin remained rooted in place while Natalie sat calmly on the sofa.
However, the tension was palpable, with Irwin’s anxiety reaching its peak.
Observing Natalie’s serene demeanor, he understood that beneath that composed exterior, her heart was anything but tranquil.
2/3 +15 BONUS Finally, Natalie broke the silence with a chilling laugh. “Hah.” Irwin remained silent.
“Remarkable… Truly!” Natalie continued, her eyes fixed on the screen of her phone where a particular photo caught her attention–undoubtedly the subject of the information, Blair Russell.
She looked up at Irwin, and the calmness in her eyes vanished, replaced by a storm of emotions.
The emotions that surged within her were unleashed like a beast–sarcasm, icy coldness, danger–all converging in a malevolent gaze directed at Irwin.
“Blair?” Natalie waved her phone, the photo on the screen nearly causing her to mistake it for herself.
The resemblance was uncanny.
Blair and Natalie.
They were two distinct individuals but entangled with the same person.
What kind of spark would this collision create?
A decade…!
She remembered her feelings during the time with Isabella, now realizing how ludicrous they had been.
It wasn’t just laughable.
It was something more.
“Nat,” Irwin approached swiftly, taking long strides until he was beside her.
Then, he lifted her from the sofa and pulled her into his embrace.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 514-So It Was Like This The grip he held her in was overpowering.
At this mcinent, Irwin distinctly felt the chilling coldness emanating from Natalie–so icy that it was bone–chilling.
It wasn’t just her temperature… even her aura felt distant.
Despite being right before his eyes, in that fleeting instant, she seemed miles away. She felt farther than Irwin had ever felt before.
She had distanced herself entirely.
This sensation was unsettling for Irwin, and he despised feeling this way. This was precisely why he had never allowed Natalie to learn about Blair despite any animosity he shared with Cedric.
A decade of vengeance… Somehow, that revenge had morphed over time. Blair was initially part of a plan–to strike Cedric when Natalie was at her most vulnerable, deeply in love.
But an unexpected presence, Isabella, entered Cedric’s life, causing a rift between them.
Watching Natalie struggle with her emotions had shifted Irwin’s original intentions.
Inside Natalie, it felt as if a wild beast was thrashing about, her nerves entirely on edge!
Coldly, she let Irwin hold her, offering no words or response.
“It’s all in the past. It’s different now! That person…” Irwin began, but Natalie’s icy interruption cut him off.
“It all began because of her.” It all began because of that woman.
At that moment, memories of her time with Cedric in Verde City flooded Natalie’s mind, alongside memories of Irwin’s interventions on her behalf.
Irwin had saved her time and again in Verde City.
And it wasn’t like she and Cedric didn’t share good times. However, it was no wonder how such a seemingly strong bond had shattered so easily in the face of Isabella.
It turned out the love he felt wasn’t truly for her.
It was directed at another through her.
1/2 Such a foundation was bound to crumble.
+15 BONUS As for Irwin, had it not been for the face she wore, their relationship might have been entirely different…!
“Nat,” Irwin murmured, his heart racing as he processed Natalie’s icy words.
Both he and Cedric knew the ramifications of Natalie discovering Blair–just as it was unfolding now.
Stripped of all emotions, she felt like a frigid doll.
With her strong–willed nature, how could she ever allow herself to become a mere stand–in for someone else?
Yet, truth be told…! novelbin Both Irwin and Cedric had to admit… at the very beginning, Natalie was nothing more than a substitute.
“So, this is how it is,” Natalie exhaled deeply after a long pause, her voice dripping with irony.
So, this was it! Now, everything that had transpired made sense.
Before Isabella, Cedric’s feelings for her had crumbled at the slightest push.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 515-It’s Time to End When it came to Isabella’s daughter and her own, he chose Isabella’s without hesitation.
No matter how many years had passed, she wasn’t the one he truly chose. So when the moment of decision came, he easily leaned towards the other side.
The strength of Irwin’s embrace tightened once more.
“Nat, it’s not what you think…” “Are you speaking for yourself or for him? Your relationship truly is something else!” Natalie’s biting words cut off Irwin’s attempt to explain.
He was speaking up for Cedric?!
Indeed, in Natalie’s eyes, wasn’t everything Irwin was doing right now merely an attempt to justify Cedric’s actions?
The seemingly broken duo still, at crucial moments, seemed to think of each other!
“Nat!” “To go to such lengths for a woman, was it worth it?” “You…” “It was no wonder Blair was intolerable!” Natalie looked at Irwin with a chilling gaze.
A shiver ran down Irwin’s spine.
With an even more menacing tone, Natalie continued, “She… deserved to die!” “Natalie!” Irwin’s voice deepened instantly.
“She had it coming!” Natalie roared.
The dangerous undertone in Irwin’s voice made Natalie smirk sarcastically. Blair was undoubtedly a unique figure.
Irwin wasn’t certain about the details of the information, but if it held Natalie’s attention for half an hour, it was significant.
Whatever Natalie needed to know, she probably did by now.
And Blair? What sort of person was she? Over the years, she remained a painful memory in both Irwin’s and Cedric’s worlds.
The shifting emotions in Irwin’s eyes only intensified Natalie’s sense of irony and madness.
But as Irwin prepared to speak, Natalie’s phone vibrated before a word could escape his lips.
1/3 +15 BONUS It was Heather calling.
Taking several deep breaths, Natalie managed to suppress the storm of emotions welling up inside her. She moved to the side to answer the phone.
“Mom.” “I finally got through to you.” “What’s wrong?” “Cedric’s people came and tried to take Luna. Given the chaos in Wexford right now, your father thinks… he might be trying to threaten you. Be careful.” Natalie remained silent. The storm that had just been suppressed violently surged again upon hearing Heather’s words about Luna.
They tried to take Luna?!
He…!
“I understand.” “Nat, Cedric isn’t a good person. The fact that he tried to take away Luna is just…” “Don’t worry. I’m fine!” It was only a few words, yet they were spoken with such urgency that Heather could feel her pain.
Previously, Stephen had wanted to give Cedric a chance.
But now… not even half a chance existed in her world for Cedric.
Apart from hurting Natalie, what else could he do after all these years?
After exchanging a few more words with Heather, Natalie hung up the phone.
She stood by the French window with Irwin not far behind her. At this moment, all signs of tension had disappeared from him.
“You knew, didn’t you?” Natalie’s voice was sharp.
“Nat.” novelbin “You knew his people were coming for Luna?” Turning to face him, the hatred and anger in Natalie’s eyes were palpable.
All the patience she had maintained over the years was now completely gone. There was no holding back anymore.
Seeing the hatred in her eyes, Irwin felt suffocated.
Taking a deep breath, he began, “Nat, he…” 2/3 +15 BONUS But before he could finish, Natalie turned around and stormed off. Watching her furious departure, Irwin quickly followed.
Outside the Terra Manor’s entrance, he grabbed Natalie’s arm firmly. “Nat, listen to me!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 516-It’s Time to End Irwin’s head was throbbing intensely now.
This was why Natalie could never find out! Once she did, many things would spiral out of control.
And that was precisely where they were now: a state of complete chaos!
Natalie’s entire body trembled.
The ten years of their relationship had already been completely overturned in her heart.
Now, knowing that Cedric’s people were planning to take Luna too, it was as if the wild beasts deep within her had finally been unleashed. She had suppressed these feelings for so many years.
She wasn’t a saint!
How could she keep suppressing everything after all that had happened?!
Smack!
” “I The crisp sound of a slap echoed as Natalie used all her strength to slap him across the face. Her sharp nails left bloody marks on his skin.
The air stood still.
For a long while, Irwin stood motionless, unable to respond. By the time he came to his senses, Natalie had already left.
Upon hearing that Natalie had returned, Cedric looked at Kayla. The child had an unusually pale face and was holding a doll.
Kayla had been discharged from the hospital. The surgery had been successful, but perhaps due to the severity of the illness, her face was still very pale.
Cedric gazed at her. “Kayla.” “Yes, Daddy?” “After this busy period, would you like Daddy to take you out to play for a while?” After experiencing this ordeal, Cedric realized the immense pressure children faced. The academic stress alone was overwhelming!
1/3 +15 BONUS Just looking at her homework gave him a headache, let alone for such a young child.
Looking deep into her eyes with tenderness, he saw the eager nod from the little one.
“Sure!” Children, after all, love to play. Hearing about an outing lit up her face, bringing warmth and healing to Cedric’s heart.
The butler came in to report that Natalie had arrived. The gentle smile on Cedric’s face instantly vanished as he turned to Kayla.
“Kayla, why don’t you go play with the nannies for a while?” “Okay.” Kayla was indeed sweet and obedient. Nodding, Kayla went on her way. novelbin “Where is she?” “We showed her to the garden,” the butler replied.
Given the conflicts between Cedric and Natalie concerning Kayla before, Lucas had instructed the servants to keep an eye out.
So, whenever Natalie arrived, a check on this side was customary. As Cedric was with Kayla, the butler came to report promptly on Natalie’s arrival.
In the garden, the scent of flowers was delightful.
As Cedric approached, he saw Natalie seated calmly on a wicker chair, holding a freshly served cup of coffee. Steam rose from the cup, indicating its warmth.
“You’re back,” Cedric said, composing himself as he approached, his eyes radiating gentleness.
It had been an unbearable few days for Cedric!
With Irwin involved, unexpected things were always a possibility.
But just as he settled down… Splash!
Suddenly, Cedric felt a burning sensation on his face. The coffee that had been in Natalie’s hand was now splashed all over him.
The cup crashed onto the table loudly..
At that moment, the calm facade on Natalie’s face shattered. She looked at the disheveled Cedric, her inner anger still unresolved.
2/3 Their eyes met, a storm brewing within his.
“Have you had enough fun?” Natalie asked with a biting tone.
Cedric remained silent, taken aback by the sudden question.
Fun?
“Enough of this tender act. It’s time to end the charade,” she declared coldly.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 517-No Wonder You Were So Indifferent Cedric stared at Natalie.
There was something shattered deep within his eyes! His heart was in turmoil, as if a storm had erupted inside!
She knew… she knew all of it!
When Casey went to Terra Manor, Irwin had already taken her away.
In fact, Cedric knew back then…!
He knew she would find out eventually. Being around Irwin, nothing was certain.
And in Wexford, she… would come to know about that matter!
It all circled back to the fact that she got entangled in the affairs of Wexford.
After what felt like an eternity, Cedric managed to gather his thoughts and looked at Natalie, murmuring, “Nat…!” “The resemblance is uncanny, isn’t it?” Natalie said, observing the pale–faced man across from her, with a storm raging in her mind.
Ten years!
A decade of feelings…!
Who could have imagined that the one who once held her dear was merely in love with the idea of her, a mere shadow?
Because of their uncanny resemblance, he could still hold her close, even if she was just a shadow.
Cedric remained silent, his gaze fixed on Natalie.
He tried to speak, but words failed him at this moment. He was overwhelmed by the storm in her eyes!
The smirk on Natalie’s lips deepened, and a sarcastic glint flashed in her eyes.
“I think so too,” she remarked.
Cedric felt his heart, already in turmoil, tighten at her words.
An explanation… Yes, he wanted to explain.
He wanted to tell her that things weren’t as they seemed. But as he looked into her icy eyes, 1/3 +15 BONUS There was no way out, not when her gaze spoke volumes.
Any explanation seemed futile!
Yet, in Natalie’s eyes, Cedric appeared not just indifferent but outright dismissive of their shared past.
Such an attitude only confirmed her worst fears.
In his heart, she was, after all, just a shadow.
Facing this reality wasn’t as emotionally taxing for him as one might think. Instead, all she felt was an overwhelming chill!
Natalie’s voice grew icy cold. “No wonder you were so indifferent!” Whether in the past life or this one, this sense of indifference wasn’t just directed towards her but also towards… their child!
The thought of him willingly using Luna to save Kayla made Natalie feel a chilling suffocation in her heart.
Cedric remained silent, and his eyes widened upon hearing Natalie’s words.
He finally managed to say, “It’s not what you think.” In this context, his words sounded feeble and hollow.
“Not what I think?” Natalie laughed bitterly. Rising from her seat, she continued, “I don’t care if you’re indifferent or not, Cedric. But if you dare harm Luna or me, I swear…” As she spoke, a cold fury surged in Natalie’s eyes. Cedric felt his heart being entirely hollowed out. Before he could utter a word, Natalie cut in sharply, “I will tear you to pieces with my bare hands!” With those final words hanging in the air, Natalie turned on her heel and left with a chilling demeanor.
Cedric remained seated on the wicker chair, lost in his thoughts for what felt like an eternity.
She knew.
She knew everything!
When did it start?
When did he start worrying about her finding out about Blair?
Yet, inevitably, she had found out.
2/3 novelbin +15 BONUS And the moment she did, everything spiraled out of control.
His Natalie had never been this out of control before.
Yes… ever since he met Natalie, Cedric had been certain that she was the woman his heart yearned for.
He had vowed to protect her at all costs.
But now… Why had things turned out this way?
When Irwin arrived, Cedric was still seated on that wicker chair.
“Are you satisfied now?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 518-Once Perhaps Irwin could feel a familiar aura, but it held none of the former hysteria that usually accompanied it. Cedric seemed to deflate at that moment.
There was only a mournful undertone in his words.
Irwin remained silent, his heart sinking noticeably at Cedric’s words. A myriad of complex emotions flickered in his eyes.
Yet, amid this complexity, there existed a peace between them that had been absent for many years.
“She’s gone?” Irwin finally broke the silence, his voice carrying a weighty tone.
As the words left Irwin’s lips, Cedric’s gaze sharpened, filled with an icy coldness.
“Irwin, she’s not Blair!” For the first time in many years, Cedric uttered the name directly to Irwin.
Throughout the years, nobody dared mention Blair’s name in front of Cedric and Irwin. Even between them, the weight of that name was palpable.
Because that person… No matter how deep their hatred for each other was, they had never confronted this matter head–on.
Blair…!
It was a name associated with deep memories, buried yet always present whenever they met.
Now, Cedric had spoken it aloud.
Irwin’s already troubled expression deepened further as he looked at Cedric, “I know better than you who she truly is.” Irwin was referring to Natalie.
If things had gone according to plan, Natalie would have known who Blair was a long time ago.
Cedric remained silent, absorbing Irwin’s words.
Before he could respond, Irwin turned and walked away, leaving Cedric pondering.
Who exactly had Irwin been referring to?
Hah… Irwin had actually said he knew better who she truly was?
1/2 And Cedric, he… naturally also knew.
+15 BONUS It was because the more Cedric knew Natalie, the more scared he became of her… finding out about Blair!
It was because… Cedric knew how exactly Natalie was.
After leaving Kritz Manor, Natalie headed straight to the airport. Everything had become clear to her, and she felt there was no reason to remain.
She was waiting for the person she was calling to pick up, and a woman’s playful laughter came through. “You’re such a heartless woman! Are you truly capable of letting go?” The voice belonged to Abigail.
Heartless? Capable of letting go?
Hearing Abigail’s probing question about her feelings, Natalie felt an unprecedented chill in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the heaviness in her chest and said, “Perhaps, once upon a time…” Her words trailed off, left unsaid.
Indeed, once upon a time, it might have been hard for her to let go.
Natalie wasn’t naturally heartless. Circumstances had driven her to this point. She knew the answer to why she had become this way.
“Let’s leave it at that for now. Do as you please from now on,” Natalie replied nonchalantly.
On the other end, Abigail chuckled at Natalie’s response. “If you’re this heartless, I’ll naturally support your decision.” Abigail’s tone grew particularly stern with that last statement.
No one knew exactly what Natalie had given Abigail. In the past, the Schneider family would never have provoked people like Cedric, Irwin, or Clyde!novelbin But now, considering how things had suddenly involved Cedric, one could only imagine the implications.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 519-Stay Here by My Side Was she heartless? Ruthless?
Compared to what Cedric once did to Natalie, these labels seemed trivial.
Suddenly, someone snatched her phone from her hand. Turning instinctively, Natalie met Irwin’s intense gaze.
Natalie was silent.
When she looked at Irwin, the warmth that had long vanished from her eyes seemed even colder now.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected Irwin to catch up with her.
Before she could utter a word, she felt a grip on her wrist. Irwin held her gently yet firmly.
“You…” Natalie felt stifled looking at this version of Irwin.
Irwin said, “I never intended for you to get involved with the situation in Wexford. But now that you’re here, stay by my side.” His words carried weight and depth. Anyone unfamiliar with the situation would’ve assumed they held immense importance in Irwin’s heart.
But Natalie’s eyes were filled with icy disdain.
“Stay here?” “Yes, stay here by my side,” Irwin declared, his eyes reflecting an unprecedented determination.
In the next moment, Natalie forcefully freed her wrist from his grip.
“Nat!” “With things at this point, you still expect me to stay with you?!” Her tone was far different than Irwin’s.
Hers was dripping with sarcasm.
How shameless could they be? Even at this juncture, did they remain unchanged?!
Irwin tried again, “Nat, don’t you understand? The reason why he and I kept-” “Enough!” +15 BONUS Natalie didn’t want to hear anymore. No one knew that upon seeing the document about Blair, Natalie’s heart was in turmoil despite her outward calmness.
More than anything, she felt humiliated!
Yes, humiliation.
Malcolm’s blatant humiliation of Bianca was evident. He would make sure Bianca understood precisely why he treated her the way he did.
As for Cedric and Irwin?
The humiliation inflicted upon her by them was subtle.
During the time she spent with Cedric before Isabella appeared, Natalie believed she loved Cedric, and he loved her in return.
But in those beautiful moments, she knew now that while she truly invested her emotions, Cedric did not reciprocate in the same way.
Blair Russell!
Hmph… Every good thing that happened, even the times Irwin saved her from danger… All of it happened because Natalie’s face resembled another woman’s.
“It doesn’t matter what you say, Irwin!” Natalie hissed through gritted teeth, her voice icy as she glared at him.
The turmoil in her eyes made it abundantly clear to Irwin just how deep her resentment toward him and especially Cedric had grown!
“Let’s go back for now, okay?” Irwin took a deep breath, trying to remain patient.
Instinctively, he reached out to hold Natalie’s hand again, but she violently pulled away. novelbin Even the slightest touch from him now felt repulsive to her.
“Nat,” Irwin murmured, looking somewhat lost.
Without a word, Natalie turned away, leaving Irwin to reach out futilely!
She was close by, yet he lacked the courage to chase after her… Natalie was cold.
No, she was more than that… She was frigid, and it chilled him to the bone.
2/3 +15 BONUS Now that Natalie was aware of the affairs in Wexford, she was returning to Simeria.
There was nothing else she needed to know, so she had no intention of spending even an extra second in that place.
It was no wonder Cedric and Irwin were reluctant to return to Wexford before its complete downfall.
Looking back, the irony was palpable.
The place held their most haunting memories, making it a location they would naturally avoid.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 520-The Relationship Between Two Women Meanwhile, the Entes family was now at a critical juncture.
It was rumored that after the family banquet one evening, the patriarch of the Entes family had collapsed.
Currently, many were gathered around the elderly Entes patriarch. Although Robert showed no immediate response toward Zane, it was obvious that Zane and Yvette’s relationship undeniably affected him to a certain extent!
In these final days of Robert’s life, his thoughts seemed to be shifting constantly.
Inside a studio, Bianca sat on a low table, holding a cup of coffee. Sitting across from her was Yvette, the Entes family’s fourth daughter–in–law, who was married to Alto.
Upon entering, Yvette had a gentle smile, leading everyone to believe that her relationship with Bianca had strengthened after the family banquet.
However, the moment the door to the studio closed behind them, an icy chill permeated the room.
“You know everything, don’t you?” Yvette elegantly sipped her coffee, every movement exuding grace and poise. Yet, her tone was chillingly cold.
Bianca remained silent momentarily, and her eyes darkened before she responded, “You shouldn’t meet him for the time being.‘ Bianca got straight to the point.
After all, the relationship between Yvette and Zane was bound to be exploited by others. Moreover, some were already using their relationship to slander Zane.
In Bianca’s perspective, Zane had to emerge victorious in their agreement. If he lost, it wouldn’t just be him facing the consequences.
Even Bianca would be ruined alongside him.
That was a scenario she dreaded the most.
Upon hearing Bianca’s words, Yvette looked at her with a mix of surprise and disbelief, clearly not expecting Bianca to remain so composed and undisturbed in the face of such matters.
Yvette’s gaze towards Bianca grew increasingly hostile, matched by Bianca’s cold, piercing look.
1/2 +15 BONUS “If you genuinely wish for his well–being, then you should know what needs to be done at this moment,” Bianca retorted, her voice cold and unyielding, every word dripping with determination and wisdom.
Her composure and wisdom were so pronounced that they deepened the shadows in Yvette’s eyes.
After a momentary pause, a sly smile crept onto Yvette’s lips. “And in what capacity are you speaking to me now?”novelbin “What role would you prefer I adopt when addressing you? Do you want me to call you Lady Yvette? Or Yvette, my fourth sister–in–law?” Bianca’s words painted two starkly contrasting identities.
The storm in Yvette’s eyes surged momentarily.
Meanwhile, a confident smile grew more prominent in Bianca’s gaze.
Such wisdom and composure from Bianca unsettled Yvette, stirring a fit of unexpected jealousy within her.
Yes, jealousy.
After all, Bianca was now married to Zane. Consumed by her envy, Yvette wouldn’t let Bianca have it easy, even if Bianca’s marriage to Zane was only a charade.
But in this act, how could anyone mistake Bianca for Zane’s devoted wife? Instead, she seemed more like a strategist, deftly maneuvering her position.
In this scheme, Zane was merely a pawn in Bianca’s strategic game. That was why she could respond so rationally in this situation.
