Clearly, with Clyde back, this meant there was one more person to protect Natalie. It had to be said that Natalie's height was a factor in this. Previously, Heather and Stephen couldn't help but worry when looking at Natalie. Even though she could independently manage Regal Horizons International, they still lived in constant fear.With Clyde's return, it seemed like an additional reassurance for them. They felt that Clyde could still protect Natalie well even if they weren't around."She's not very stable yet," Natalie said, placing Luna on the ground. Watching the child lose balance for a moment, Natalie couldn't help but find her daughter adorable."She probably hasn't fully woken up yet," Heather said."Yeah." Hearing Heather's explanation, Natalie's gaze softened as she looked at her daughter.But there was also a sense of guilt in her heart. After all, she had been involved very little in Luna's growth."I need to go out for a while. I'll be back soon.""Make sure to
Natalie didn't know how she got back to Lotus Villa. Heather knew nothing, whether it was about Stephen or Clyde. They tacitly refrained from telling Heather what was happening outside, no matter how chaotic it might be."Mom.""Back already?" Seeing Natalie's relatively calm complexion, Heather felt relieved.Natalie nodded. "Yes."In reality, she was about to explode inside, but looking at Heather, who seemed oblivious to everything, she made a considerable effort to keep those emotions hidden.Heather glanced at her and said, "Go to the kitchen and check if everything for Luna is ready.""Sure." Natalie nodded and went inside.Now that Luna was already eating solid food, Heather took even more care in this aspect.After giving instructions in the kitchen, Natalie went to the study. Clyde was there."Dad's not here?""Yeah.""Is it serious?" Natalie approached Clyde, looking at him.Upon learning from the phone call that Cedric had actually interfered with Clyde's g
As she watched Luna sitting on her, Natalie wished she could throw Cedric to the dogs!"Nat, you can't treat her like this!" Cedric spoke with a heavy tone, and all his patience had run out, now sounding cold. It was as if Natalie not going over would result in something terrible."I told you, I-""Mama. Want!" Luna interrupted, snatching the phone from Natalie's hand and clumsily fidgeting with it. The call got abruptly cut off.Natalie stared at Luna, her mouth twitching."Sweetie, you're amazing!" She hugged Luna, unaware of when the child had learned to snatch phones. It was no wonder Heather hadn't been using her phone much lately. It seemed the Luna had started snatching and playing with it.Children's visual membranes were particularly fragile, so naturally, they couldn't watch too many electronic products.-Meanwhile, Cedric was now exploding with rage. His eyes glinted with coldness as if he could kill someone."Natalie!" He hissed through gritted teeth.She h
"Is the situation between you and him really as serious as the rumors say?" Natalie asked Caleb.Natalie had witnessed what kind of existence Premier Garden Corporation was in Verde City when she was there. However, Cedric managed to intervene and disrupt that."It's not as serious as the rumors say, but I need to find out the reasons behind this," the man sitting across from her replied, his expression darkening slightly.He couldn't recall offending Cedric, but the latter was now coming at him with such intensity, almost as if he wanted his life.Caleb could sense that something complicated was happening.When he mentioned finding out the reason, Caleb noticed a distinct change in her expression. He asked, "Do you know the reason for this?""Yes, I do."Caleb stayed silent and stared at Natalie.Looking at the sharp and hawk-like eyes of the man, Natalie didn't know how to continue. Cedric was such a wicked man!Why wouldn't he just die? Now, Natalie wished Cedric we
"Caleb, you should return to Verde City first. I'll handle things here!" Natalie didn't want to continue discussing Irwin, so she ended the conversation this way.This was a confrontation between her and Cedric, and she couldn't compromise!Caleb nodded. "Okay."He would agree for now. Obviously, it was because he didn't want to put Natalie in a difficult position. As Natalie was about to leave, Yvonne hurriedly entered and said, "Mr. Spencer, something happened!"While saying this, she subconsciously looked at Natalie.Natalie's heart tensed because of Yvonne's words.Caleb also glanced at Natalie, but he asked Yvonne, "Is it Cedric again?""Yes, sir!"Natalie felt a bit overwhelmed.Cedric...!He kept backing her into the corner, not even giving her a chance to catch her breath!Rubbing her aching temple, Natalie said, "Caleb, I'll handle this. Again, I'm sorry."Apologizing at this moment was practically useless.After all, Natalie couldn't compensate for the actual
As for why there were clothes for her at Peach Garden, Natalie didn't ask a single word...!It was because she didn't care about anything Cedric did now.Cedric looked at her and said, "Let Susan come over to check on you first."Just now, he clearly felt that something was wrong!He was too reckless! When he lost control, he became even more ruthless and had likely injured her.Natalie turned to the side. "Get out!"She coldly spat out those words, clearly not wanting to see Cedric.But Cedric didn't leave. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed.He said, "Nat, I drove Irwin away from you. Naturally, that means I can drive everyone away! Except for me, you have no other choice."He lit a cigarette as he spoke.As he finished speaking, Natalie's whole body instantly stiffened.Her face turned ashen.Irwin...! She didn't want to speak much about his grievances with Irwin. They could handle their own affairs. She didn't want to be involved!But Caleb..."I'll listen to
The night at Peach Garden was exceptionally quiet, accompanied by the sounds of insects and birds. The natural atmosphere unconsciously brought a sense of tranquility. However, Natalie could not have slept here if it weren't for her extreme fatigue.At some point, it didn't matter how quiet the surroundings were. Whenever Cedric was around, nothing could suppress the turmoil in her heart. In a daze, she felt someone moving her.Opening her weary eyes, the man's distinct profile under the warm orange glow appeared gentle, almost like a beautiful angel. However, Natalie's exhaustion vanished in this moment, replaced by a vigilant gaze fixed on Cedric. When she felt his movements, she immediately went from grogginess to alertness.Slap!A crisp sound of a slap echoed, landing heavily on the man's face.The air around them froze instantly.The sound of insects became clearer at that moment. Even the slightest pin drop could be heard."You lunatic!" Natalie roared. Images of
Back at Lotus Villa, Clyde was still awake. When Natalie entered, he was on the phone. His expression was unpleasant, and he seemed to have mentioned Wexford.Natalie's heart tightened once again.When Clyde saw her, he hastily said something to the other end, then hung up and walked towards Natalie."Why are you back so late? And in your sleepwear?!" Clyde asked.Instead of answering his question, Natalie changed the subject and asked, "Is there another issue in Wexford?"At the mention of Wexford, Clyde's frown deepened. He wasn't a talkative person, and he still needed some time to get used to the recent change in his status since coming to Simeria.The only person he probably spoke more often to was Natalie. They looked identical and had been in the same space since the moment they came to life. Even after being separated for so many years, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them, tugging at their hearts involuntarily."It's not a big issue. You don't n
