On the wedding day, Natalie woke up a little after five o'clock in the morning. The makeup team had been waiting here since last night. Luna, who usually loved to sleep in, got up early because she had something on her mind.Watching Natalie wear the wedding dress, Luna looked at her with starry eyes. "Mommy, you look so beautiful!""Sweetie, where did you go just now?" Natalie gently held the child in her arms.Luna nestled against her and then touched Natalie's beautiful wedding dress. "I was with Uncle Austin. He fed me milk."Hearing that Austin took the child to have breakfast, Natalie felt warm inside. He... was really thoughtful!"Luna, do you like Uncle Austin?""I do. Can Uncle Austin be my daddy from now on?"Natalie was speechless. She didn't know how to respond to Luna's question. Everything happened so suddenly. Why was she here, wearing bridal makeup and a wedding dress Austin had picked out for her? It was all because Cedric had returned!If...If Cedric
Cedric had returned, yet it didn't change anything. He never expected the Jarvis family to agree to Austin...!He never expected Austin to give up so much just to marry Natalie.He lost... but as Stephen said, he didn't lose unfairly.-The wedding was grand.Cedric held the invitation Natalie gave him and entered. When he saw the grandeur of the wedding, his mind was swept away."I don't care what kind of wedding we have as long as I'm with you."Those were the words Natalie said to Cedric during the simple wedding they had under the interference of the Johnson family.But now, thinking back...Could Cedric really not have afforded anything better for her?He had the ability to overcome the obstacles, but he never truly took them seriously. He believed being with Natalie despite the challenges was the best he could offer her. However, there was a man who faced greater challenges and still managed to give her a beautiful wedding that many envied.Inside the makeup room, Ce
Irwin had tried to stop Natalie. Cedric had returned to stop the wedding.However, the outcome between Natalie and Austin remained unchanged. Everyone said Austin was using Natalie. In Simeria, whoever wanted Natalie must have been after the influence of the Jarvis family behind her. But everyone was wrong.After the wedding, Austin took Natalie and Luna away from Simeria. He gave up all the benefits of the Jarvis family and left behind the chaotic Entes family."Stop drinking!" Irwin grabbed Cedric's wrist, and Cedric looked at Irwin through blurred eyes."Have you forgotten you just had surgery for your eyes?!"Cedric was supposed to be resting in recovery, but he rushed back upon hearing that Natalie was marrying Austin.When Cedric was reminded about his recent eye surgery, he smiled bitterly."If I had known that I would see her marry someone else with my own eyes after the surgery, I would have rather not undergone it at all."Irwin fell silent.Yes, Cedric had witne
Irwin remained silent. He tried to hide the pain in his deep eyes fixed on Cedric, but it was unmistakable.Was it painful?Regarding Blair's matter, yes, it was painful.But concerning Natalie, the pain... was worse!He took several deep breaths but was unable to suppress the heaviness in his chest. "Natalie is important to you and equally important to me."What about Blair?At this point, Irwin didn't want to recall those unbearable memories. He only knew that he had ultimately lost in his entanglement with Natalie.And now, he was in a wretched state.Cedric was silent. There was a hint of fierce danger in Cedric's eyes as he looked at Irwin."But you let her be with someone from the Entes family."Irwin fell silent.That was indeed the case. There was no denying it.When Cedric left, he had no intention of returning to Natalie's side. He had entrusted her completely to Irwin. However, in the end, Irwin couldn't stop Natalie from getting involved with the Entes family.
Natalie stood by the French window, gazing at the picturesque scenery outside. She could hear the sound of the nearby waterfall roaring in her ears. The refreshing scent of nature was everywhere.They were in Dawnvale and staying at Westhill Enclave.Austin embraced her from behind. "Nat."Natalie turned around and said, "This place is really nice!"They had been here for three days already. Everything here was well arranged, and it seemed that Austin had made all the preparations before their marriage."Do you like it?""Yeah, I do."Since arriving here, Natalie found that these three nights were the best she had slept in years. There was nothing here. They were far from the hustle and bustle, giving her a sense of deep inner peace."I sent the Entes family's seal to Zane. Consider it a gift to Bianca."Natalie had been relaxed, but she instantly stiffened at his words. She turned around and looked at Austin with shock in her eyes."You've had the seal all along?"Initially
"Don't say anymore, Nat!" Austin held her tighter. He seemed to want to use his intense body warmth to thaw Natalie's completely cold heart. Cedric had used Isabella and Kayla to push Natalie into an iceberg. Later, Irwin's schemes regarding Blair plunged Natalie into an icy abyss.Even if Natalie wanted warmth now, she couldn't find a trace of it in her world.When Natalie was at her wit's end and unable to find any warmth or way out, Austin approached her like a madman. He swept away all the concerns in everyone's hearts and brought her out of that suffocating world."No one can hurt you again." Austin comforted the trembling Natalie continuously. At this moment, Austin felt Natalie resembled an injured little animal in his arms. Natalie's heart was covered in wounds. Regardless of how she protected herself before, she had completely broken down emotionally and was showing him her most vulnerable side."What if you're the one who hurts me?" Yes, what if it was Austin?
Perhaps Cedric had considered letting go. But when he tried, he felt too reluctant to do so.Ultimately, he repeatedly found himself utterly unable to let go.-After Bianca hung up the phone, Neil entered the room."Lady Bianca, Lord Malcolm is here."Bianca instinctively put away the items when she heard Malcolm's name, and a hint of gloom entered her eyes."Let him in.""Yes, ma'am." Neil respectfully nodded and left.Soon enough, Malcolm entered.The man exuded an icy chill.Bianca met the dangerous gaze of the man fearlessly. As she looked at him, her heart surged.She wanted everything to end."Did Austin send something to you?" Malcolm broke the silence first. His tone was sharp, cold, and even more dangerous. His eyes were like those of a hawk, and they seemed poised to crush Bianca.When she heard his words, Bianca smiled mockingly."What do you mean?""Give it to me!" Malcolm said in a sharp and commanding tone.Bianca's smile widened at his harsh words.So
In the dining room, Natalie and Luna had just sat down when Austin returned. Natalie began to rise when she saw the man, but Austin gently said, "No need to get up.""Daddy!" When Luna saw Austin, she slid down from her chair and ran towards him. Natalie's heart trembled as she watched Luna run towards Austin. Clearly, after their time in Dawnvale, Luna and Austin's relationship had grown stronger. Natalie could see how much Luna longed for a father's love during this time.Seeing Austin scoop the child into his arms, Natalie couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. Luna was adorable and innocent. How could Cedric ever bear to hurt her? How could he even consider using Luna to save Kayla? Did he ever consider what might happen if something went wrong during the surgery?Perhaps he never thought that mistakes would happen, and that was why he acted so boldly.Regardless, it didn't matter anymore.It was all over now, and Natalie silently celebrated.As a woman and a mo
