The night always made people's hearts quiet down, just like the moonlight.However, for Natalie, the quiet of the night might be the hardest to endure.After the video call with Luna, the world around Natalie quieted down, but her inner turmoil lingered.Then, Abigail called."Nat, I'm in Simeria," Abigail said when Natalie answered.Natalie was stunned to hear that."You're still here?" Hadn't it been several days since Abigail arrived?The Schneider family must be after Cedric handed everything over to Irwin. It was impossible to say that the handover didn't affect them in the slightest.Obviously, Natalie hadn't expected Abigail to stay in Simeria for such a long time at this critical juncture."Aren't you coming to see me?""..." Natalie was speechless.She had no idea that a woman from the Schneider family could act so coquettish!-Half an hour later, Natalie arrived at Hillside Villa. Abigail had been staying in Natalie's residence since she arrived from Wexford.
Everyone had their own pride when it came to emotions.This pride was sacred...! Natalie once believed that no matter what Cedric did for Isabella in the end, at least he had been sincere to her during that period of affection.But now, looking back, that so-called sincerity was just laughable.At this moment, Abigail wanted to say something to comfort Natalie, but nothing came out.Finally, she sighed, not knowing what to say.Then she looked at Natalie. "I thought you knew long ago. I thought those two had given you a more reasonable explanation."Now, Abigail could see that those two probably never gave Natalie any explanation.That was why Natalie was so hurt.Why didn't Abigail say anything earlier?First, she thought Natalie might already know. Second, even if Natalie didn't know, it would be different if she found out from someone other than Irwin and Cedric.There would have been a sense of deception.When information came from someone a person trusted, it was comp
Irwin stared at Natalie silently for a long time. It was as if he was trying to see through her indifferent face, directly into her soul!He wanted to see if her heart had truly turned cold, even frozen.If that wasn't it, how could a woman who was once so gentle become like this?He had envied Cedric like a madman when Natalie had smiled so gently at him once.How could this have happened?She had turned into someone who remained unmoved no matter what he said, even exuding such coldness...!After a long while, Irwin finally said, "How could you...?" How could she say such things? As Irwin looked into Natalie's eyes, he wanted to see through those eyes. He wanted to see what lay deep within Natalie's soul, but he saw nothing."What else do you expect? How else should I describe your relationship with Cedric? Should I remind you what things were like back in Verde City?""...""What the hell is with the situation now? Cedric entrusted me to you? Why? Because of his guilt t
There were so many memories in Natalie's life that she didn't want to recall. Each one was a bloodstained reminder. And now, Irwin had the audacity to claim that all of it had been settled?!Where did he get the nerve to utter such words?"Irwin, it seems there's nothing left to say between us!" Natalie's tone grew calm. Despite the turmoil inside her just moments ago, Natalie had finally regained her composure.There was never much to say between them anyway, and the fact that they could talk at all now was progress.Just as Natalie was about to turn away..."Your eyes...!" Irwin began. But then, he stopped abruptly, and Natalie whipped around, her gaze sharp.Her eyes? For a long time, her eyes had been a very sensitive topic. Being the astute person she was, Natalie couldn't pretend that she hadn't picked up anything from Irwin's words.She had sensed it long ago."Were they Cedric's?" Natalie asked pointedly.Irwin suddenly became quiet. In that instant, his mind wen
After drinking several glasses of wine, the heaviness in Natalie's heart eased slightly. Looking at the slight change in Natalie's complexion, Bianca asked, "Can we talk now?""Bia!""Yeah?""Don't bother with emotions or feelings!"Bianca's heart churned upon hearing Natalie's indifferent yet firm tone. It seemed like a warning from Natalie, drawn from bitter experiences."If I do, does that mean there's no chance for regret?" Bianca asked."Probably not."Natalie reached for another glass of wine, but Bianca grabbed her delicate wrist. "Don't drink anymore, okay?""Bia.""Yeah?""I can only feel at ease when I'm with you."Bianca felt a pang of bitterness at Natalie's words."Same here."Bianca felt like she was no longer free, especially after joining the Entes family. But with Natalie, she always managed to relax involuntarily."But you can't drink anymore," Bianca said and took away the glass from Natalie's hand. "Didn't you want to take care of your eyes?"She
However, the weather here was so damp and always humid.Lucas would clean the items they use daily. When it rained for a long time, many things would develop small patches of mold. It looked very unpleasant.If Cedric could see it, his obsessive cleanliness disorder would probably torment his mind."Is she getting close to Lord Austin?" Cedric spoke again after a long silence, his tone colder than before.Lucas nodded. "Yes, sir."After Lucas replied, the air around them turned cold."What about Irwin?""He's in Simeria, but it seems he can't stop her either." Lucas's tone was full of worry and helplessness when he mentioned this.Even if they weren't in Simeria, they could imagine what was happening there. Natalie probably didn't care about anything now, which worried Cedric the most."They've divorced.""..." Cedric was speechless.Natalie had finally thrown away the last layer of protection, cutting off all ties with the past. Nothing from the past seemed to fit into he
Each time Cedric thought of Luna, his heart felt even more tormented...! At this moment, he even pondered...If he hadn't insisted on using Luna to save Kayla when he found out she was his, would things between him and Natalie have escalated to this extent?But alas, he couldn't turn back time and undo his actions to find out...!-In Simeria, Natalie had been getting closer to Austin recently. They often went out and dined together, almost as if they were publicly acknowledging their relationship."I've been attracting quite a lot of hostile gazes lately," Natalie said.And all of it was because of the man sitting across from her, who was so handsome that any woman standing by him would feel inferior."Nat, are you mad at me?" Austin asked."..." Natalie was speechless.Could this man even tell she was being sarcastic?But the dangerous aura that Austin exuded before seemed to completely disappear when he was close to her."I'm not mad! I just don't like this," Natalie sa
Such a scene only further agitated Irwin, whose mind was already reeling...!"Does it hurt?" Austin asked.At this moment, there was endless tenderness in the man's tone. He spoke as if Natalie was a treasure he cherished deeply.Yet Natalie withdrew her hand from the man's palm indifferently. She said nothing, her aloof attitude speaking volumes.Irwin felt nothing, but his eyes reddened at the sight of Natalie and Austin's interaction."Natalie," Irwin practically hissed through gritted teeth. He didn't know what to say to Natalie at this moment, clearly not expecting this kind of scene.Natalie turned around and walked away.Just as Irwin was about to follow, Austin moved first, leaving Irwin standing there.At that moment, Irwin's legs felt as heavy as lead. He wanted to move forward yet was unable to summon any strength!When Dylan came over, he saw Irwin emitting an overwhelming aura as if he were in a tumultuous storm."Sir.""She has no heart!"Dylan had remained by
