Chapter 355


    Chapter 355 Has to ept That Child


    When Natalie arrived at the office, Wendy approached with a massive stack of documents.


    As Natalie gazed at the mountain–like pile of files, it reminded her that it was the beginning of the


    month when an endless stream of documents needed handling.


    “Wendy.”


    “Yes, Ms. Walker!”


    “Book a flight for me three days from now to Snow City, secretly,” Natalie instructed.


    The image o


    of Cedric appearing at the school gate with Ka shed in her mind. It made her realize that this


    unpredictable man might not leave Simeria anytime soon.


    Not only that, but he also nned to enroll Ka in school here.


    With this situation, Natalie naturally couldn’t allow her child to return to Simeria.


    When Natalie had told Cedric there wasn’t any child between them, he still insisted on pestering her.


    So, if he found out about the child, Natalie’s peace would undoubtedly be disrupted even more!


    “Yes, ma’am!” Wendy nodded, a bit sympathetic toward Natalie. Natalie would surely be workingte


    for


    these three days at thepany.


    Natalie immersed herself in work, and in the morning, Jason arrived. She was too upied to entertain


    him. Jason mentioned that a renowned stic surgeon hade to Simeria and wanted her to find


    time


    to meet.


    Natalie replied dismissively, “What’s there to be afraid of when my scars are always covered?”


    She seemed indifferent to the scars and didn’t have any intentions to have surgery for them.


    But wasn’t she being too insensitive about it?


    “I’m telling you, you’re beyond help!” Jason didn’t know what to say to Natalie anymore.


    Annoyed, Natalie retorted. “Can’t you see I’m busy?”


    With her ns to go to Snow City, she wanted to finish all her work immediately. It left her no time to


    deal


    with Jason


    Seeing her impatience, Jason stood up and said, “If Mr. Jarvis asks me to look for another doctor for


    you,


    you’re on your own! I can’t be bothered anymore”


    Jason was usually a polite gentleman, but he was irritated by Natalie’s attitude.


    Natalie just smiled as Jason left.


    She buried herself in the files once again. By lunchtime, she hadn’t noticed how quickly time flew when


    one was busy.


    “Ms. Walker!” Wendy entered, sounding a


    hit tense.


    Natalie was engrossed in the documents and didn’t sense the tension in Wendy’s tone.


    She simply asked, “What is it?”


    “Mr. Johnson is here!”


    At the mention of his name, Natalie paused in her actions. She sighed.


    Didn’t that man ever give up?!


    Before she could say anything, Cedric had already entered with Ka.


    Knowing how much Natalie was affected by Ka, Wendy couldn’t help but feel that Cedric was either


    thoughtless or too domineering!


    But would Natalie ept this show of force?


    “Ms. Walker.” Wendy looked worriedly at Natalie.


    “You can leave,” Natalie said.


    “Yes, ma’am.”


    After Wendy left, Ka looked timidly at Natalie, her eyes filled with caution. Natalie understood the


    pressure the child felt toward her.


    Even so, Natalie’s expression remained unpleasant.


    If Cedric was such a great man, he shouldn’t bring Ka with him! It made her seem like a viin.


    “Why are you here?” Natalie’s tone wasn’t weing.

    Cedric led the child to sit on the side. He said, “Ka insisted on bringing this for you.”


    At his words, Natalie noticed that Ka was holding a thermos. As Cedric spoke, she cautiously


    approached Natalie’s desk, holding the thermos.


    She remained silent, just looking at Natalie.


    Those eyes. were genuinely pure.


    In reality, a ten–year–old understands many things. Therefore, this purity, at this moment, seemed


    impure


    to Natalie


    At the age of ten, Isabe probably harbored nothing but hatred toward her and was already thinking of


    ways to plot revenge


    Bang!


    The thermos mmed onto the carpet, making a mullled sound. The lid flew off, and the dessert inside


    spilled out. It was still steaming hot.


    The air instantly fell silent, then turned cold.


    Ka looked at the overturned thermos on the floor, then at Natalie. Tears overflowed in her eyes, and


    she turned and ran toward Cedric.


    Cedric picked up the child in his arms.


    Natalie was frustrated by the man’s icy expression.


    It was her fault…


    She had identally hit it while reaching for the file…!


    Looking at Cedric’s cold gaze, the apology got stuck in her throat and turned into a chilly silence.


    What was there to exin? How many misunderstandings existed between her and Cedric? What was


    one more?


    Cedric nced at her coldly. He stood up and walked away with the child without looking back. The icy


    footsteps seemed to indicate disappointment in her.


    “Tsk!” Natalie scoffed coldly.


    The irritation on her expression grew as she watched the man leave.


    When Wendy entered, she saw a mess on the floor.


    “Ms. Walker!”


    This was…!


    It was the thermos Ka had been holding. What happened? How did it end up on the floor?!


    Clearly, she wasn’t pleased about seeing Cedric and Ka here.


    Wendy was stunned momentarily and then said, “But… Mr. Jarvis said we shouldn’t stop Mr. Johnson if


    he


    came over.”


    “Uncle did?”


    “Yes.”


    “But that was before he had Ka, Natalie snapped.


    That was right.


    At that time, due to Irwin’s influence, Natalie understood what Stephen meant–it was to make it look


    like something was going on between them for Irwin to misunderstand.


    The crucial issue now is that Irwin is no longer here, and there was the addedplication of Ka.


    “Yes, ma’am!”


    Wendy understood Natalie’s implication and thought Cedric was really unreasonable in this matter.


    Natalie was furious.


    She was alreadycking time, and now she couldn’t have lunch due to Cedric’s disturbance.


    ok Ka to


    In the afternoon, Cedric personally school, then was summoned to Lotus Vi by Stephen.


    In the study, the atmosphere was tense.


    Stephen said solemnly, “Ced, you know what kind of person Nat is. Don’t make it too difficult for her.”


    Although serious, Stephen’s words were still rtively polite, indicating that he wouldn’tpletely


    sever ties due to the cooperation between the two in Wexford.


    However, Heather in Snow City had been calling him continuously. She had shifted from simple


    concerns.


    about Natalie’s well–being to cursing Cedric whenever she called.


    Stephen was also troubled. Although he didn’t explicitly say it, his words were a reminder to Cedric


    If Cedric persisted in choosing Isabe at this point, he shouldn’t make things difficult for Natalie.


    Natalie wouldn’t willingly coexist with anyone rted to Isabe


    “Mr. Jarvis, I’m sorry, but Nat….


    Cedric trailed off and paused.


    When he looked at Stephen, his eyes were intense.


    “She has to ept this child, and there are reasons she must do so.”


    Stephen’s expression instantly darkened upon hearing this,
