Chapter 390


    Chapter 390 She’s Just a Child


    Isabe always held the most prominent ce in his heart.


    What had he said back then? He said that Natalie wouldn’t owe Isabe anything else after she gave


    up her eves for her.


    What a joke!


    If Natalie had wanted surgery, she would have undergone it long ago.


    Why wait until now?


    When Natalie exited the medical room, Ka stood in the hallway. Upon seeing her, Ka approached


    with evident nervousness and apprehension.


    “Mommy.”


    Natalie was silent, but the child’s persistence in calling her Mommy genuinely made her feel pity for the


    girl.


    Ka Walker had been the child’s name since she could remember, and it was possible… That her


    birth had been nned a long time ago.


    Perhaps Ka was a pawn from the very start.


    When Cedric emerged, he saw Ka cautiously reaching out to hold Natalie’s hand, her eyes


    full of hope and anticipation.


    The moment Natalie felt Ka touch her, especially noticing Ka’s striking resemnce to Isabe,


    she impulsively raised her hand to get away.


    Ka was caught unaware by the sudden movement and fell to the ground.


    Cedric’s eyes narrowed.


    “Natalie!” His furious shout echoed throughout the vi, leading to another chaotic scene.


    The servant responsible for Ka’s care rushed forward, cradling the frightened child.


    ‘Madam, what are you doing? She’s just a child!” The servant’s eyes were filled with


    resentment as she shielded Ka from Natalie.


    Natalie’s mind was nk.


    She hadn’t done it intentionally!


    However, Cedric’s grip on her wrist jolted her back to reality.


    “Come here!” Cedricmanded, his eyes zing with fury.


    Natalie was silent.


    The rage in the man’s tone made it seem as if, in that instant, she had once again be that


    terrifying wornan from his memories!


    It was just like how he used topare her to Isabe. Natalie had appeared so vicious, ready to harm


    the weak. She was a malicious woman, and he… had repeatedly misjudged her. Outside the door,


    Cedric forcefully pushed Natalie away, causing her to nearly stumble and fall.


    The man looked at her with bloodshot eyes.


    “Natalie, she’s just a child!” His roar shattered the usual tranquility of Peach Garden.


    “I know, you don’t have to remind me.” Natalie’s voice remained calm, but beneath that calm was an


    impending storm.


    Cedric’s rage was evident in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Natalie apart. Yet, she stood her ground


    without fear.


    “I know she’s just a child. I was also well aware of Isabe’s identity. You don’t need to remind


    me.‘


    At this moment, Cedric’s reminders felt eerily simr to his past reminders about Isabe!


    She stood there, calm andposed. It was the kind of tranquility that seemed as if she had let go of


    everything.


    Under this calmness, Cedric’s anger slowly dissipated, reced entirely by a sense of


    heartache visible in his eyes.


    With a smirk, Natalie said, “You don’t need to remind me, alright?”


    “Natalie, why must you be like this? You should-


    “I should forget about everything that happened with Isabe in the past, right? Do you think


    I need you to keep score? If you want to settle scores, let’s do it now, once and for all!”


    From their past lives to the present, could he really tally it all up?


    Natalie continued tough mockingly. “What right do you have to discuss our past?”


    Her calm yet mocking demeanor shook Cedric to his senses.


    Just as he was about to step forward, Julian’s car arrived. The vehicle’s headlights shed, illuminating


    the tension on Cedric’s face.


    The smirk on Natalie’s face became even more pronounced and sardonic as she continued, Cedric,


    whatever you think I was, just ept it. No need to dig up the past, right?”


    “And as for Ka, if you think I might harm her by being close, then Simeria!”


    ke her and leave


    Cedric’s mind buzzed with confusion. Natalie’s eyes conveyed calmness, irony, and finally, indifference!


    It was a kind of indifference that suggested she didn’t care at all.


    This newfound indifference from Natalie left Cedric feeling more disoriented than ever.


    He tried to speak, to exin perhaps, but found himself at a loss for words.


    An exnation, huh?


    They had tried to exin things between them before, but it had always been a series of


    mimunications.

    Now…


    “Nat, about Isabe, she-”


    Before Cedric could finish, Natalie had already boarded the car and mmed the door shut.


    Cedric was left standing there as a cold gust of wind swept by.


    For a long time, he remained rooted to the spot, unable to snap out of his daze.


    He realized the depth of Natalie’s animosity towards Isabe and Ka. To Cedric, it seemed like a


    choice between her and Ka–either Natalie was present or Ka was, but not both.


    Yet, Natalie knew nothing. She had no idea what Isabe had done for her.


    She knew nothing!


    Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a new message. It was from Natalie.


    The message read, [She has been called Ka Walker for as long as she can remember. Do you really


    think there’s nothing wrong with it?]


    Cedric’s eyes widened upon reading the message, and he felt as though he were suffocating.


    In the car, Natalie massaged her temples. She realized Cedric was stubborn and would only


    meticulously analyze situations when they benefited or harmed him directly.


    Emotionally, however, that man had always been rather dense.


    Natalie felt it necessary to remind Cedric: while it was true that Ka was Isabe’s daughter, there


    was a strong possibility that…


    A possibility of what?


    That Ka might have been manipted from a very young age? But who could really say?


    After everything she had been through, Natalie never considered anyone straightforward, especially


    those se to her


    Upon returning to Lotus Vi, the nanny was still with Luna, who seemed wide awake.


    “You’re still up?” Natalie observed the restless child on the bed, her smile radiating warmth.


    Seeing Natalie return, the nanny respectfully stood up and exined, “She only slept for half an hour


    around seven. She’s still quite energetic.


    Natalie nodded in understanding. She knew that if Luna napped close to bedtime, she wouldn’t sleep


    until around midnight.


    “I’ll bathe now, and then you can rest once I’m done,” she informed the nanny.


    “Of course, madam,” the nanny replied with a nod


    Before heading to bathe, Natalie cuddled the giggling child in her arms. Theughter was so endearing,


    and it melted away her tension.
