Isabella held such significance in his heart. If Cedric ever had the chance, she would be the only one he'd cherish.And he would only leave the pain for Natalie and her child!"Nat…" Cedric's heart bled continuously as he listened to her words.He didn't deserve it! Even if he was suffering, he didn't have the right!He didn't have the right to raise Luna as she grew up.None at all!As she said, he didn't deserve it.No one knew what kind of inner turmoil Cedric experienced during his time with Natalie. Each time he looked at Natalie, his heart seemed to ache like a sharp blade was cutting it.The sensation was so painful!-At noon, Natalie had to drink the bitter medicine again.After Irwin arrived, he spent a full two hours in the study with Cedric. No one knew what they discussed. But when they emerged from the study, Natalie could sense the weightiness in the air, indicating the severity of the situation in Wexford."Xyla.""Yes, Miss." Xyla approached respe
How much had he invested in her, only to want to wash his hands of it all now?Suddenly, he grabbed her slender waist. Amidst the dizziness, she found herself in his arms.Warmth enveloped her, and then came the onslaught of kisses!Natalie struggled, but the man's grip tightened. He was being more ruthless than before! At that moment, his presence seemed filled with resignation, silent agony, and something even more sinister. It was as if he wished to merge her into his very bones.Warm fingertips grazed her cheek as Cedric said, "If this is what you want, I'll grant it."Since the dilemma in Wexford was meant to trap him, let her watch! If this could bring her a bit of relief, then he... would grant her wish."You're not granting anything. This is your just punishment!" Natalie's tone was icy!Her hollow eyes held no emotion, but her words dripped with venom. As Cedric held her, he could feel her presence but no warmth.She seemed devoid of warmth... or perhaps, any war
Irwin had passed on Frederick's information to Cedric!Then, Cedric left her side! Even a fool could tell what Irwin had outlined to her was a fact. However, Cedric was given a multiple-choice question! Ultimately, Cedric had to choose between her and Wexford...And he naturally chose Wexford!There was a suffocating feeling in Natalie's chest. It was an uncomfortable sensation... and wasn't easy to endure!"You know, you're very clever!" Irwin said coldly."Even if I know, so what? Am I supposed to follow your arrangements?"Danger simmered in Natalie's tone.Irwin fell silent.Supposed to?Undoubtedly, this was a multiple-choice question for Cedric! But for Natalie? It was also one! But she also had the right not to choose anything."Irwin, don't you understand by now?"Understand what?"You better pray I never get the chance to see again, or... I'll tear you and Cedric to pieces!" Natalie hissed, her words dripping with danger.Irwin remained silent.So, sh
Cedric probably didn't know what kind of image he held in his daughter's heart right now. No, in fact, he did know...! It was precisely because he knew that his heart was in great agony as he made his way back from Yuloria!He had thought about so much.These years...He not only hurt Natalie but ultimately also hurt their child. He even became a villain in the child's eyes!-In the study, Stephen looked at Cedric with a furrowed brow.There was a glint of darkness in his eyes. "Don't blame me either!"Obviously, he was referring to Natalie's situation! Just now, Stephen made it clear that Cedric should leave Natalie.Indeed!Cedric couldn't get any approval as he stood before the father of his beloved woman.The entire Jarvis family didn't want to hand Natalie over to him! They didn't want any relationship between them anymore."Irwin is with her now," Cedric said with a heavy tone.Stephen fell silent. He was already in a bad mood, and hearing Cedric say such thi
How could Heather forgive Cedric when her daughter was hurt like this?! She even wished Cedric would disappear!It seemed like Natalie could only find peace once he was gone...!Since Natalie returned to their side all these years, all Heather saw was Natalie trying to break free from Cedric...!But what about him?While he was devoted to Isabella, he kept pestering Natalie, even disturbing her peace at times. No mother could stand by and watch that.Heather was genuinely furious!However, there was nothing she could do about Cedric's behavior.-In the backyard, Cedric watched the lively figure of his daughter catching butterflies in the distance. His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, but his heart... was constantly in turmoil.Luna looked so happy here, clearly enjoying herself. The Jarvis family truly cherished her like a treasure! She looked very small, probably due to being born prematurely."Lara, I caught one!" Luna caught a butterfly and ran happil
Cedric told Stephen that after he heard about the possibility from Edward, he made that decision.He never thought of letting Natalie spend the rest of her life in darkness. He would handle everything as quickly as possible and make her regain her sight quickly."He's punishing himself too!" Stephen finally said after a long time and sighed.Heather fell silent, and her breath hitched at Stephen's words. Was he punishing himself? Undoubtedly... Stephen was right. Cedric was punishing himself. He was atoning for the evils he had committed in that way! But his sins were so grave. Could he be redeemed?!-After Cedric left, Luna came into the house. She hugged Heather tightly and said, "Grandma, I didn't eat anything from the stranger just now.""You're such a good girl, Luna," Heather praised.As she listened to Luna's words, Heather felt a pang in her heart. This was all Cedric's doing, the retribution he brought upon himself! No wonder no one pitied him. He... wa
Never?!Such an explanation seemed so feeble now.And Irwin had especially shocked Natalie today! He... actually spoke well of Cedric... Just because they both like the same woman.Enemies could also be... friends!?Such a result was truly ironic and laughable."Nat, you don't need to be like this." Irwin felt a pang of anguish when he saw Natalie in this state."Enough!" Natalie's tone was icy.Clearly, Blair was like a taboo to her, especially after the humiliation from Cedric and Irwin over the years.Blair's emergence made Natalie fully realize what kind of presence she was in Cedric and Irwin's world.She wasn't as important as outsiders thought, nor was she what she presumed herself to be. Natalie had just been indulging herself, hadn't she?In fact, her presence in Irwin and Cedric's world over the years was laughable and pathetic."Nat, I'm not someone who likes to explain. You should know I'm telling the truth.""Who knows what schemes you're plotting again!"
Every moment was tormenting. The relationship between Cedric, Irwin, and Natalie is now murky. Meanwhile, the Entes family had reached a critical point in Simeria!Once Cedric returned to Wexford, the situation with the document escalated. Things between Malcolm and Zane were also at a critical juncture!At Verdant Villa, cigar smoke swirled in the man's hand. When Bianca entered the room with the kitten, she noticed the man's heavy gaze. When Zane saw her, he composed himself."It seems you've taken good care of this little one. It's growing well," he remarked.He recalled how he had found the little thing on the road and how it looked like a tiny ball then. Its fur hadn't even grown out fully yet.But now, in Bianca's hands, its fur had grown beautifully. Though it was still small, it radiated with life.Bianca sat beside Zane with the kitten in her arms. "The growth cycle of small animals is short, but raising a child is different."Children required much effort when it
