However, no one expected that Natalie would allow Christina to marry Icarus!It was unlike her, as evidenced by her attitude towards Irwin and Cedric before. Once this woman got tough, there was no room for negotiation!But now...!Natalie smiled. "What? Did you also think I would marry Icarus?"Would she?Based on previous assumptions, it was hard to say.Natalie continued, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."She had seen too much over the years she had been around Cedric and Irwin. The Entes family had a self-centered nature. What did Christina offer besides satisfying Icarus' thirst for vengeance?As long as Natalie didn't yield, would Christina truly have a happy ending with Icarus once he lost interest?Natalie had seen such a situation so many times.Who knew what would happen in the future?At first glance, Christina appeared to be succeeding in life. But in reality, she was headed for another failure.So, there was no need for Natalie to do an
Did she not understand what love was? Who truly understood how to love?Those things no longer mattered, at least to Natalie.Christina's tantrum was completely irrelevant to Natalie. It was neither here nor there.More accurately, Natalie could only endure this treatment in the past and not do anything about it.Now, things were different.If she didn't want her here, Christina wouldn't last more than five minutes! Natalie had allowed Christina to linger longer so that she would make herself angry.It was too easy.Before Christina could spew any more insults, Lawrence dragged her away.Once Christina was gone, the surroundings turned peaceful.Lydia and Xyla greeted Natalie at the entrance. "Miss, come and have some tea."Lydia knew Natalie was returning, so she specially brewed some fruit tea for her."Thank you!" Natalie said."Don't be angry anymore, okay, Miss? It's not worth it for people like that!""You're right. But I'm not angry," Natalie said.She only felt th
How could she be so indifferent? This kind of coldness was truly maddening!"Didn't you always wish I was colder to Cedric?" Natalie asked. "Aren't you satisfied now that I am?"Why would Rebecca be satisfied?When Rebecca hoped Natalie would leave Cedric back then, she genuinely wished Natalie would be a bit colder towards Cedric. That was the way Cedric could possibly give up on her. But this kind of coldness now was different.This coldness now truly felt cruel!"Do you know he might be struggling in the darkness for your sake right now?!"Just moments ago, Rebecca had been acting arrogantly. But after seeing how cruel Natalie was towards Cedric, her heart clenched painfully.How could Natalie be so cold and cruel? She was never like this!"That's what he deserves!"Rebecca was speechless.What... Cedric deserved?!Those words filled her mind in an instant and drove her crazy.Natalie was so heartless... and cruel!That was not all. In Rebecca's eyes, Natalie seemed t
It had been two entire lifetimes. Amidst the turmoil of these two lifetimes, whatever beauty existed between them has ultimately been replaced entirely by agony.What was tragic was that now she found herself needing to put an end to it all in such a manner!It had been too long.After all, if Cedric were indeed to bring Kayla back, then their confrontation would be excruciatingly prolonged!It was truly tiresome.For Natalie, severing everything between her and Cedric was worth resorting to such means.-The next day, the news of Natalie and Austin's wedding was announced, and it was quite a unique matter.They declared it a shotgun marriage. The news said that Austin and Natalie had a daughter long ago, and the child was now grown up.Whose child was it really?Of course, it was Cedric and Natalie's. What was the real story?Was it to make Austin give up potential benefits from the Jarvis family just to have Natalie and Luna?No one knew why Austin, who had been actin
It was a grudge between Cedric and Irwin, and Natalie hadn't been loved. Instead, she was unwillingly dragged into a retaliatory game involving them.From this point of view, it wasn't surprising that Natalie was unable to forgive them."She deserved it!" Rebecca said.When Natalie was mentioned, Rebecca spoke in a chilly tone, which also carried a cold and sinister edge."Back then, I didn't approve of their relationship at all. But she was headstrong and determined to be with Ced!" Rebecca exclaimed with intensity.Calvin frowned at her words. Clearly, he hadn't expected that even upon hearing these things, Rebecca would not have an ounce of pity for Natalie.She only felt a great deal of pity for Christina.That was the difference between people."Let's go." Calvin didn't want to continue this topic any longer.After all, Rebecca should now thoroughly understand the situation. When Calvin said that, Rebecca felt her heart bleed more."How can I leave?"Every time the to
When Irwin left Simeria, he never imagined returning. He believed Natalie would prioritize the Jarvis family for Luna's sake and remain rational no matter what.However, just a short time later, there was news of her marriage with Austin and even of Luna...?When Irwin saw Natalie again, he looked at her with narrowed eyes. "How could you?!""Why can't I? Does leaving you and Cedric mean I can't choose happiness?" Natalie retorted."Is it really happiness?" Irwin asked, his tone tense, even though he tried to suppress it. Yet, his restrained anger was noticeable.Natalie gazed silently at the man across from her, whose eyes were now bloodshot.Irwin got up and strode to her, pulling her off the couch. His eyes betrayed more than heartache."Natalie, we can accept your retaliation against us, but how could you do it this way? She's your daughter!""Are you saying I made the wrong choice for my daughter?" Natalie's eyes shimmered darkly.Irwin fell silent.It was wrong! It was
It had been many years.Despite Natalie's repeated attempts to end things with them, these two men continued to follow her like a curse and always appeared by her side.After observing Rebecca's recent conflicts with Natalie regarding Luna, Bianca believed that Irwin and Cedric were ultimately unable to protect Natalie!Since they came into Natalie's life, she hadn't experienced any peace.Natalie didn't want to talk about her own affairs now, so she asked, "What about you and Malcolm?" "Malcolm?" Regarding Malcolm, Bianca's attitude towards him resembled Natalie's behavior towards Cedric and Irwin.Bianca's cold smile indicated that Zane had brought back something different.Perhaps Malcolm was going to fall soon.Bianca didn't elaborate. She simply said, "Lord Austin's recovery dealt him a heavy blow!" Austin had been lurking for many years, causing confusion with his sudden announcement of his recovery. It caught everyone off guard, and many plans were overturned."Nat
Austin was right.Regardless of her innermost feelings, Natalie resolved to confront every aspect of her later life seriously.For the next two days, Natalie was almost always with Austin. They were selecting wedding gowns, formalwear, and even clothes for Luna. Throughout the process, Austin held Luna in his arms."She can walk on her own for a while," Natalie said as she tried to take Luna from Austin's arms.However, Austin discreetly avoided her and said, "Little girls should be pampered.""Luna.""Mommy, I'm tired!" Luna murmured and clung to Austin's neck.Natalie was speechless, and her expression darkened. Austin instinctively pressed Luna's head against his shoulder, preventing her from seeing Natalie's sinking expression."Let's go.""You're spoiling her," Natalie said. She couldn't help but feel exasperated at his words.After spending these two days together, Natalie realized that Luna seemed to really like Austin. Was it because Luna had never had a father by h
