But Rebecca never expected this.She never expected such news to be waiting for her at the end.How could this have happened?How did things escalate to this point?Natalie had repeatedly pressured Cedric!She... hated him!Did she hate him for not protecting her all those years?"If she wants revenge, why not take it out on me? It was me! I was the one who wanted to tear them apart! I was the one who looked down on her!"Rebecca's emotions were completely out of control.Yes, it was her!It was Rebecca who brought them to this point of enmity. She never imagined that the moment two people in love turned against each other would be so hysterical.It was... terrifying!Heather listened indifferently to it all. "It's over. Everything has ended."Yes!It was over!At least, that was how it was in Natalie's view. Natalie had accepted this ending calmly, right?At that moment, Rebecca choked out, "No, it's not. She hasn't gotten her revenge on me yet." Rebecca didn't need
Cedric was fated to have a complicated destiny because of Wexford!And his father... was the same.-Natalie returned to Hillside Villa for dinner. The lights in the villa had mostly been changed. After their trip to Evergreen Peak, Lydia and Xyla returned to Hillside Villa to take care of things.At this moment, Natalie said, "I still like bright lights!"She spoke the truth! Lydia and Xyla exchanged glances. "We like it too."Natalie smiled. So, that was how it truly felt to see the light. This was why a person needed always to take care of their eyes. Losing one's sight would truly mean losing one's whole world!Just then, the phone on the table vibrated. Natalie glanced at the number and saw that it was Irwin.She answered, "Hello.""Where are you?""Hillside Villa.""Dylan will come to pick you up.""Irwin, I told you...""Nat, I've said what I had to. I'll only be here for three days." So, did they have to put on a show for these three days? To let everyone
Irwin had actually...!Natalie turned abruptly and headed straight for the door, but suddenly...Thud!The sound of someone's knees hitting the marble floor heavily, accompanied by Irwin's somewhat stern voice, rang out."Nat!"Natalie paused in her tracks.Her whole body was trembling.Her expression was stormy, and the veins on her hands were visible from how hard she clenched her fists.It was clear how much she hated the person inside the room, or rather, this hatred arose because of Cedric and Irwin.It was such an overwhelming hatred that it sank deep into her bones... and her very soul!After a moment, Natalie finally managed to suppress the anger in her heart slightly. She glanced sideways, and her delicate profile looked so cold and dangerous.Yes, dangerous!Natalie said flatly, "You wanted me to meet her?" Her... Rebecca!Irwin fell silent.At this moment, every word Natalie spoke seemed to radiate with danger.Rebecca choked out, "It was me!"Regardless of
Rebecca never thought things would come to this point today, but now, she was truly scared. She didn't know what happened to Cedric before he disappeared. She didn't know what he had endured!She had endured enough in her lifetime. She didn't want Cedric to also endure such things in life!Rebecca was truly a pitiable person!Her husband left her world by dying back then.Now, her son left her world by disappearing.Rebecca didn't know what happened in between, but she knew it wasn't simple.But... was she even significant in their world? Why didn't she know about such an important matter?No one told her!Or was it that she was nothing to them?"Even if you have nothing, you deserve it!" Natalie said harshly and turned to leave.As she reached the door, she added, "I don't know where he is!"Rebecca fell silent. She instantly collapsed under Natalie's firm words, losing all her strength.Her eyes were hollow.She... deserved it...!What terrible things had she done
Rebecca choked up as she looked at Irwin, Cedric's sworn enemy.Or at least... that was what she thought!"Will you really help me?"Would he really? None of those who seemed to have a good relationship before ever helped her once, so would Irwin... really lend her a hand?Irwin nodded. "Of course!""Why?"Although Rebecca's mind was in chaos now, she wasn't foolish! Everything that Cedric had in Wexford had been handed over to Irwin. Why would Cedric do that!? Everyone who knew about it was confused. They also wanted to know the reason.Rebecca didn't know what happened in Wexford. She only knew that before Cedric disappeared, things were chaotic. All the major families were involved, making it impossible to see the situation clearly.But she never anticipated the Cedric would suddenly disappear. He should have completely controlled Wexford, so why did he suddenly throw everything away?Why did he give it all to Irwin and disappear?"You just have to wait for news about
Natalie smiled.In such a relaxed atmosphere, it was easy for people to unwind. She felt like attending early education classes wasn't just for the children's sake! More than that, it was about easing the postpartum mood for moms."Is it really like that?""Yes! When you have one child, it feels so easy. Then you have another one, thinking it'll be fun, but it turns out the child ends up playing you.""Hahaha! Exactly! Don't underestimate babies! They'll really make you understand what it means to voluntarily give up yourself!"Voluntarily give up oneself? Was having a second child really that bad?At this moment, Natalie also noticed that many second-time mothers weren't wearing makeup.Having one child was already enough to keep one busy. After having a second child, it got even busier, and going out became a hurried and chaotic affair."After listening to you all, I'm definitely not having a second child," Natalie said with a laugh.The group of people continued chatting
With how serious Caleb sounded, Natalie didn't doubt him and replied without hesitation, "Wait for me."Caleb replied gently, "Okay."After hanging up, Natalie neatly packed away the blueprints on her desk and placed them in a drawer. Then she grabbed her car keys and headed out. Glancing at her watch, she realized it was almost time to finish work. If she went to pick up Caleb now, she definitely wouldn't make it home in time for dinner. After all, it took forty minutes to drive to the airport.She called Heather. "You don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight.""Is work too busy? You haven't fully recovered yet, so don't strain your eyes too much," Heather said concernedly.Upon hearing that Natalie wouldn't be coming home for dinner, Heather naturally assumed Natalie was working overtime. "It's not overtime. A friend has arrived in Verde City, and we're planning to have dinner together," Natalie explained."Alright, come back early, and don't drink," Heather instructe
Creak!The piercing sound resonated in the restaurant as Natalie accidentally ground her fork and knife onto her plate.She looked at Caleb in bewilderment and said, "What did you say? I didn't catch that!"Actually, she had heard clearly. But it was shocking. Undoubtedly, when Caleb mentioned Yvonne's resignation at the airport, Natalie hadn't even considered it from that angle. So, Caleb's words came as a bit of a shock.Caleb took a sip of his red wine and said, "It should have been before that.""Before what?"The more he spoke, the more confused Natalie became! Wait, did he mean... Could it be that Yvonne knew she was pregnant before they revealed that Luna was Caleb's child?!Oh no! That was really bad...! If that was the case, then Yvonne's resignation had an entirely different significance."I'll go talk to her and explain!" Natalie exclaimed immediately.A clear explanation was needed for this matter!Natalie hadn't known that there was something betwee
