As soon as Cedric finished speaking, the air instantly became silent. Even those apart from Cedric and Natalie, especially Lydia and Xyla, felt their hearts rise to their throats. They all sensed that something was off with Natalie.Naturally, Cedric felt the same! What kind of existence was Blair in his world? Natalie knew, especially after reading the documents. Blair was a presence a thousand times more important than even Isabella or Kayla.Throughout the years...Only now did Cedric mention Blair's name, indicating how deeply he had buried her existence in his heart. The pain associated with her was something Cedric never wanted to face in his lifetime. It was too agonizing. Every mention of her made his heart ache to the point of suffocation.Yet, at this moment... When her name was brought up again, his heart couldn't help but tighten.Blair...! Natalie chuckled coldly. The mockery in her smile made Cedric's chest feel even more constricted."Nat!""Tell
As Cedric got out of the car, he instinctively moved to carry Natalie. However, Natalie called out, "Lydia!""Yes, Miss."Just as Cedric was about to reach out, Lydia hurriedly approached Natalie, extending her hand to carefully assist Natalie out of the car.Listening to the surroundings, Natalie concluded that it was nighttime here.A cool breeze swept in. It wasn't chilly but rather pleasant, giving off the fragrance of flowers, some of which she couldn't name. The scent was delightful, creating a likable atmosphere.Upon entering the courtyard, both Lydia and Xyla held Natalie carefully to support her. "Miss, be careful. There's a threshold!"Threshold? Natalie couldn't help but wonder about the place Cedric had brought her to. There was the smell of wood and a faint odor of paint, unfamiliar but pleasant. It instantly brought a sense of peace to her heart."Sir, you've returned." The butler said as he approached, bowing respectfully to Cedric.Cedric nodded. "I'll be
Back then, Cedric never had the time to accompany Natalie to such leisurely places. Natalie was not particularly against eating. When she returned to Simeria, she found the taste there quite unfamiliar. During her time in Wexford, she also struggled with the food. But thankfully, Irwin was considerate! Without Isabella and Kayla around, Cedric's attention was completely focused on her. If those two were present, Natalie would have had to make do.Thinking about this, Natalie asked, "How long has it been?"Natalie's sudden question made Cedric's heart leap to his throat. Clearly, he understood the implied meaning in her words."Nat, I'm sorry," Cedric said in a deep tone.During this period, he realized how much he had neglected Natalie, especially after she had found out about Blair.He was in complete panic.Past feelings... always carried a heavy weight. When faced with trouble, most people hope not to deepen their past feelings. However, upon reflection, the past feeli
In their previous life...!Initially, she would always cause a mess when she reached out for something.But now? Was it a habit formed from their previous life?She was afraid and terrified of the dark but was also familiar with it! She became adept at performing basic tasks because she had spent too much time in the darkness.A pain spread in Cedric's heart as he watched Natalie.He took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I'm impatient. It's just not the time to face these things now.""...""After you recover... However we settle things between us, I'll leave it to you!" Cedric said firmly.He would leave it to her?"I wish I could cut you into pieces!""I'll make sure to hand you the blade when it's time, alright?" That should be enough, right?With that, would Natalie cooperate with him and get treated?Natalie fell silent. When she heard Cedric's words, she stiffened, and the discomfort in her chest intensified.So, that was how Cedric was now.It made Natali
Cedric escorted Natalie back to her room, where Lydia and Xyla were already waiting. As soon as Cedric left, Natalie asked, "Have you contacted them?"Natalie was referring to Stephen and Heather."Miss, when Mr. Johnson took us out, he took our phones!" Lydia explained."What?!"Natalie had just relaxed, but her expression instantly darkened upon hearing Lydia and Xyla's words.Was Cedric out of his mind?"Mr. Johnson said that until your eyes are better, we can't contact the outside world!" Lydia said."..."Cedric!What was this? He really hadn't changed from before! He was as reckless as ever!Cedric had secretly taken her away from Lotus Villa in her current condition. If her family didn't know anything, then her parents...!-Natalie was right in her assumptions.From the time they discovered Natalie was missing until now, Heather and Stephen had been tensed the entire time. They hadn't relaxed for a moment since then.When Clyde returned, Heather quickly approach
Heather wasn't present in the study, and Stephen looked at Clyde.He took a deep breath and asked, "What do you think of this?"Stephen was referring to Cedric taking Natalie away.Clyde frowned. "This time, he's really disregarding everything!"For Natalie, Cedric truly ignored everything. They didn't know where Cedric took Natalie. However, with how things were in Wexford, Cedric still took Natalie with him. It indicated that Natalie still held a place in his heart. Their relationship started because of a woman named Blair, but at some point, it changed completely.Stephen sighed after hearing this. "What a misfortune!"Indeed, what else can it be called but a misfortune? Despite everything that had happened, their relationship remained turbulent. If things continued like this..."Luna has been looking for her mother every day." When Stephen mentioned Luna, it was a heartbreaking topic. Thinking about how Cedric had disregarded everything for Kayla's sake...Even
When Natalie woke up the next morning, the rain was still dripping steadily on the roof. It was still falling after an entire night.The warmth beside her remained...!When Cedric heard movement, he hugged her and asked, "Are you awake?""Get off me!"She had been unable to resist falling asleep last night, but why was Cedric still here?!He was so shameless...!But as Natalie moved, Cedric gripped her hand tightly and said, "Don't move. It's cold!"When Natalie extended her arm out of the blanket, she indeed felt a chill. In Yuloria, people often said it was very comfortable during the summer. That was because the courtyard houses were built with stones, which provided good insulation. It would be warm in winter but cool in summer...! Cedric got up and said, "Don't move." In contrast to Natalie's irritability, his tone was full of patience, as if they hadn't had such moments in a very long time. Cedric seemed to treasure this time with Natalie.Natalie was immediatel
Did Natalie dislike it because Cedric was here with her?Once, she had been most eager to stay in a place like this with him."Have Lydia come over!" Natalie could keenly feel Cedric's presence, but she didn't want to feel it at all.She just wanted...! However, Cedric still insisted, "I just told you, Lydia and Xyla went out. They went to find something you'd love to eat. The breakfast here is special, so the kitchen wasn't prepared."Natalie fell silent.She also calmed down.However, this kind of silence and compliance were not what Cedric wanted. She was quietly waiting.She was willing to wait quietly and not willing to ask him for help!Even though Cedric had been busy in the past, he knew Natalie's routine after she got up in the morning."I'll help you to the bathroom.""No need!" Natalie's tone was icy."This is not good for your health. Be good, okay?" Cedric said."You took Lydia and Xyla's phones, didn't you?" She didn't want to continue this topic with
