Chapter 309


    Chapter 309 Never Been Right


    Cedric looked at Natalie, and she also stared back at him.


    They stared intensely at each other, and their hearts tightened rapidly…!


    “Nat, I… That day, actually…”


    “What? If I had told you,


    would you have driven yourself?”


    Cedric was rendered speechless.


    In a situation where she remained silent and faced potential emergencies, Irwin could still help her


    avoid all dangers.


    And Cedric?


    She had been right there in front of him.


    He had considered himself the most important person in her life. But in the end…!


    “I’m sorry.”


    Natalie was silent.


    Cedric was apologizing?!


    What a miracle!


    Cedric had never apologized to anyone, yet he was doing so right now! To her! 2


    It was more than a miracle!


    “I ept your apology.”


    She said it casually, but Cedric knew this ease was because she didn’t mean it.


    The two of them faced each other in silence. Cedric tightened his grip on her. He couldn’t


    conceal the pain in his eyes, and Natalie frowned at him.


    “Was that also wrong?”


    “You”


    Well, I’ve never been right anyway!”


    Cedric was silent.


    Never been right?


    That was true!)


    In the past, Cedric had never listened to her seriously, no matter what she said.


    But now, what right did he have to me her?


    Now, they couldn’t talk about the past. If they did, they would surely be at odds.


    Just then, Isabe called again!


    Natalie smiled, “See, now there’s more than just Irwin between us!”


    Isabe had always been between them.


    Unable to bear it any longer, Cedric smashed the phone!


    The fragments scattered, and one particrlyrge one scratched Natalie’s leg.


    Blood oozed out from her wound, and Cedric’s chest tightened at the sight.


    “Nat…”


    Concern was evident in his tone.

    He instinctively wanted to check her injury, but Natalie turned around and coldly said, “Do you want to


    check my injuries again?”


    What did this small injury matter now,pared to the ones she had suffered two years ago?

    That was the implication behind her words.


    She had survived injuries that had almost burned her to death!


    When did it start? Since when did being near him mean she would be in danger of getting hurt?!


    At the presidential suite in Morina Hotel, Isabe handed the phone to Lily after hearing the call go to


    voicemail.


    Lily dialed again and handed the phone to Isabe.


    Isabe’s face was pale, and she felt numb.


    When she heard the call go straight to voicemail, she breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and returned


    the phone to Lily.


    “It’s off.”


    In an instant, the atmosphere around Lily turned cold.


    She said, “The master said he doesn’t care how you do it. You must get Mr. Johnson toe to you


    today.

    “He’s with Natalie again, isn’t he?” Isabe said coldly.


    Lily remained silent.


    But Isabe smiled!


    She probably guessed that every time she was asked to contact Cedric, it meant Cedric was with


    Natalie.


    Lily asked, “Do you have any other way to contact him?”


    “No!” Isabe said without hesitation.


    She had lost all patience. She had done so much for that person, and so far, she hadn’t seen that child.


    How could she not be angry?


    However, that child was her weakness that constantly tugged at her heart. It made her no longer able


    to think independently


    Immediately, Lily yed a recording for Isabe to hear. The hysterical tone in that recording made


    Isabe’s heart pound.


    She mmed the phone hard and screamed, “He’s a bastard!”


    “Do you have any other way?”


    Isabe’s chest heaved continuously, and her face turned significantly paler.


    Did she?!


    “Lily.”


    Before Isabe could speak, a maid called out to Lily from outside.


    Lily’s face turned cold again. “What is it?”


    “There’s ady here to see Ms. Isabe. She says her name is Ms. Carter.”


    Ms. Carter?


    Reba Carter!


    Reba had gone hysterical two years ago and wanted to destroy everything because of Cedric’s


    imprisonment.


    Now, she was here to see Isabe?!


    Here’s your chance.”


    In an instant, Lily’s icy demeanor disappeared as she said to Isabe, “She’s a key figure. I


    +25 BONUS


    She was referring to Isabe’s abilities not only to captivate men but also to handle their families.


    Isabe already felt uneasy, and the heavy feeling in her chest only intensified after hearing Lily’s


    words.


    Lily left, and soon, Reba entered. When she looked at Isabe, her expression was cold and hard.


    After a moment, Reba said, “I didn’t expect we’d have the chance to meet again.”


    “Yes. I thought you’d never want to see me again in this lifetime.”


    Two years ago, Christina went to prison. Cedric also went to prison. The once glorious Johnson family


    in Verde City seemed to have fallen in that moment.


    Reba was the most infuriated.


    However, Isabe also thought this woman was truly pitiful. Reba had spent her entire life nning


    her children’s path for them, but she never knew what was best for them.


    She also never understood her children.


    Two years ago, the Johnson family was shattered


    If it weren’t for Ivan’s favor supporting her, Isabe believed this woman would have rushed to her and


    torn her apart with her bare hands.


    Reba would have done it, even if her hands weren’t exactly clean from all the deeds she had done


    in the past.


    Reba pulled out a chair and sat down before Isabe. The distance between the two decreased,


    and Isabe could clearly feel the older woman’s unstable breathing.


    “Are you here to have me take Christina’s ce in prison?” Isabe asked bluntly.


    Yes, Christina!


    Although Christina wasn’t Reba’s biological daughter, Reba had always treated her as her own.


    Even after the events of two years ago, Reba was still contemting how to get Christina


    out


    Despite iming it was for the Johnson family’s reputation, the girl she had raised held a special ce


    in her heart. Even though she scolded and punished her, Reba still held affection for the young girl.


    Justead of responding to Isabe’s question, Reba said, “Isabe, leave Cedric!”


    Isabe was silent, but she smiled somewhat sadly after a few moments.


    Before she could speak, Reba continued, “I know you got close to him for revenge against Natalie. I


    just didn’t expect you to develop feelings for him. If you truly love him, stop harming him.”


    Cedric’s head belonged to Natalie.


    As long as Isabe persisted in entangling herself with them, they would never have a good.


    life.


    Isabe sneered, “So, you’re capable of makingpromises too!”


    She had thought otherwise.


    Isabe’s words caused Reba to stiffen.


    Yes, Reba… was also capable of makingpromises.


    Even though Reba had hated and despised Natalie so much before, she was now willing to give in.


    She only did it because… Cedric’s heart only had room for Natalie.


    Cedric had given up everything for Natalie two years ago and willingly epted all the punishments.


    No one knew how painful it was for Reba to witness such a scene.


    Now, Cedric had left prison because of Natalie. Naturally, Reba didn’t want any unexpected


    complications in this rtionship.


    She would only find peace if their rtionship was restored and they had a good life.
