When Irwin returned to Maple Peak, Rebecca's eyes were filled with tears of grievance upon seeing him. She was smart enough to know that Irwin was her only reliance now.Irwin sighed. "Rebecca, why did you do that?""Irv, I have nothing left, you know that," Rebecca interjected, her tone filled with pain.Irwin was speechless.Nothing left?The various incidents between Cedric and Natalie over the years had indeed influenced their parent-child relationship to some extent. Cedric was gone, and he hadn't contacted Rebecca once, indicating his profound disappointment in his own mother.Irwin hadn't expected that Rebecca would ultimately come to Simeria.Yet, here they were, facing this situation now…!"I really thought about accepting her. I let go of everything and stopped interfering in Ced's affairs," Rebecca choked out.In Cedric and Natalie's affairs, Rebecca felt she had truly made concessions. And quite a lot of them, too! But why did it still end up like this in the end
Rebecca was truly wrong. Even until now, she had never thought she had done anything wrong to Natalie.Now, Irwin understood why Natalie couldn't forgive Rebecca. Just thinking about the things Rebecca had done in the past...How could Natalie forgive her?"Irv! Irv...!"Seeing Irwin turn to leave, Rebecca panicked. During this time, she realized that Irwin had always been on her side, even helping her. And in Simeria, she absolutely needed Irwin's help. So, seeing Irwin like this, she naturally panicked."I can't leave Simeria!" Just as Irwin was going upstairs, Rebecca grabbed Irwin's sleeve. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at Irwin."I can't leave this place. Please don't do this.""Rebecca!""Take pity on me and help me get that child. As long as the child is with me, I promise not to disturb anyone again," Rebecca said frantically.The Johnson family was formerly so magnificent, but nothing of that former splendor remained. How could she not be anxious? The
Irwin instantly grasped it. Even Cedric hadn't thought it through, but Irwin understood instantly after hearing Rebecca's words!The problem they were most concerned about seemed clear now!If he and Natalie really divorced, who was using whom between the Jarvis and Entes families wasn't so certain anymore!Especially with Stephen behind Natalie, just this fact... made people less worried.Even the worries between him and Cedric seemed so unnecessary now."As long as I take the child away, there's still a chance between you two. You don't want to divorce Natalie, do you?" Rebecca didn't know what Irwin had realized. For the child, she would do anything and say anything. She could even yield no matter what.Irwin remained silent."I know Natalie will suffer when the child is taken away, but enduring a prolonged period of suffering is worse than enduring a shorter but more intense period of pain," Rebecca continued."...""Do you really have the heart to let her spend her li
If Rebecca discovered that those eyes were really Cedric's, she didn't know if she could ever accept it.A dense and continuous ache spread through her, which was truly unpleasant. Hatred surged like a tidal wave, and the world turned upside down."Everything about the surgery has been wiped clean," Calvin said.So, it would be difficult for him to get any details about it.Rebecca fell silent.Everything had been wiped clean?If the surgery was really what they suspected, there must be a way to get information about it."Have Isaac come to see me," Rebecca instructed.Isaac's relationship with Cedric had always been so good. He used to hate Natalie so much before, but now...Clearly, Rebecca also sensed Isaac's change in attitude towards Natalie.So, was this change related to something?And what about the surgery? Was it also related to Isaac?When she thought about that, Rebecca's heart seemed to burst open like a floodgate, and now all the thoughts came pouring in."Ye
However, little did Irwin know that Natalie probably wouldn't want anything now!All she wanted was for Cedric and Irwin to stay away from her. She didn't want to be involved with them anymore.When Stephen returned in the middle of the night, he saw the signed divorce agreement that Irwin had sent over. A complicated glint flashed in his eyes when as he picked it up."Give it to her tomorrow morning," Stephen instructed the butler."Yes, sir," Agnes replied.With that, Stephen ascended the stairs toward his room.It was a relief for everyone now that it was over.-In Yuloria, it continued to rain almost every day. Cedric lay in bed, listening to the rain hitting the roof. The rain was heavy today, and it was really pouring down.After arriving in Yuloria, Cedric couldn't help but notice the gloomy weather. Even when the sun was shining, it wasn't warm enough. Cedric found it difficult to describe, but he felt like he wasn't getting enough sunlight. Additionally, the dayl
When Calvin went looking for Isaac in the night, he couldn't locate him. No matter how anxious Rebecca was, it wasn't until the next morning that Isaac appeared before her.At this moment, Rebecca looked at Isaac and asked, "Tell me, did Ced give Natalie his eyes?"Rebecca was blunt. She obviously wanted to know the truth and nothing else.Isaac frowned at her words."Did he?" Rebecca pressed.Did he or not?!"Rebecca..." Isaac began, but Rebecca's clenched fist slammed down on the coffee table before he could finish.She trembled all over. At that moment, even if Isaac didn't say anything, she had already made up her mind. Bringing Isaac here was just to confirm it!"He didn't!" Isaac looked at Rebecca's reaction and knew that if she discovered that Cedric had done it, she would turn Simeria upside down."You don't need to defend her," Rebecca said coldly. "I'm stating the facts," Isaac insisted."Facts, huh?"What are facts?Rebecca had spoken of facts so many times i
When Natalie arrived downstairs, Calvin respectfully approached her.Natalie couldn't fathom how Rebecca managed to keep people like Calvin by her side for so long. From what Natalie could remember, Calvin had been with Rebecca for quite some time."Mrs. Johnson," Calvin respectfully addressed Natalie."Calvin, I believe your memory is failing you. Allow me to remind you that my relationship with him ended years ago!" The weight behind Natalie's words grew heavier when she spoke the latter part of her sentence.Calvin had always been good-natured and intelligent. He was an outstanding individual. How did Rebecca find such people, much less keep them by her side?"But in Master Cedric's heart, you have always been his wife, and that has never changed," Calvin replied.Wife? When Natalie heard that, she laughed sarcastically.Seriously?"You seem to have forgotten that I'm not," Natalie bluntly stated. Natalie was never Cedric's wife, not in the eyes of the Johnson family
It had to be said that things were truly starting now.As everyone had speculated, things might spiral out of control once she and Irwin end things."Natalie, I thought you wouldn't refuse me," Austin said."But I did, " Natalie replied flatly.As she finished speaking, Austin chuckled. His laugh sounded gentle, but it felt strangely eerie to Natalie!She felt irritated at his response. "I'm hanging up."Without waiting for Austin to respond, she ended the call abruptly.Although she had anticipated this situation before divorcing Irwin, Natalie still felt uneasy.However, even if she had to experience this and more, she wouldn't change her decision. She no longer wanted to be involved with Irwin and Cedric in any way.-Meanwhile, Austin was in Orchid Bay. Since announcing his recovery, many complicated situations have happened around him. However, his sharp instincts had driven away many people.Up until now, even Cole, his subordinate, didn't quite understand why Austin
