Chapter 411


    Chapter 411 The Art of Being Impartial


    Just as Cedric was about to pick up his phone to remind Natalie that a week had passed, the sound of


    an engine echoed from the vi entrance.


    Bang!


    It was followed by the sound of a car door mming shut.


    He stood up and swiftly approached the entrance.


    He saw I


    Natalie holding a suitcase, standing not far away, while the car that had dropped her off was already


    gone.


    At that moment, Cedric’s l*ps curled into a brief smile. Hastily, he took the suitcase from her and held


    her other hand.


    It felt as though he was holding the whole world.


    Her hand remained delicate, soft, and slightly cold.


    “Why is it so cold?” Cedric’s tone was gentle but carried a hint of reproach.


    Having studied medicine before, he naturally knew that if a girl’s hands were too cold, it could indicate


    poor health.


    Natalie remained silent.


    Though she had moved to Peach Garden and had her own ns, acting tenderly towards Cedric as


    she did before was something she couldn’t do.


    “Why didn’t you bring the child?” Cedric asked.


    Seeing Natalie’s silence, he wasn’t bothered.


    Perhaps this was the attitude he deserved.


    “How would you rate your skills in being impartial?” Natalie sarcastically retorted.


    At her words, Cedric froze.


    He looked into Natalie’s eyes.


    The icy sarcasm in her eyes pierced him. Merely moving here wouldn’t make it easy for her to ept


    everything.


    At that moment, Cedric realized this clearly.


    Natalie coldly pulled her hand away from Cedric’s warm, broad palm. The moment his hand. was


    empty, Cedric felt as if his heart had also emptied.


    Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the heaviness in his chest.


    “Nat, whatever you think of me, please… don’t show that side to the child.”


    He was referring to Ka


    Over time, Cedric had observed that Ka. Due to her earlyck of security, she was extremely


    sensitive. If she saw this side of Natalie, it would undoubtedly deepen her trauma.


    Natalie chuckled..


    Herugh was cold, mocking, and dangerous.


    The danger in her eyes made Cedric’s heart tighten.


    “Let’s try to get along, okay?” Cedric’s voice carried an unprecedented humility, almost pleading.


    Yes.


    He was acting so humble!


    Had Cedric ever been this humble?


    He had made mistakes in the past. He had disappointed her, and now he wanted her toe


    back.


    Even if he had to kneel on the ground, what of it?


    “She really adores you. Just a nce from you makes her happy for a long time,” Cedric said.


    Indeed, Ka was a sensitive child.


    Growing up without much security, she deeply yearned for a mother’s love.


    Yet, even as Cedric’s tone became so humble, Natalie coldly reminded him, “Is love that will be lost


    worth anything?”


    Cedric fell silent.


    Love that would be lost?


    she…!


    “Nat, since I’ve brought you back, I never nned on letting you leave my side again.”


    “I’m not her mother!” Her tone remained icy.


    Each word was bitten off with such weight that Cedric felt Natalie was so cruel at that moment.


    However, what he didn’t know, or perhaps had forgotten, was just how cruel he had been when he had


    Natalie give her eyes to Isabe.


    How deeply had he wounded Natalie then?


    “Do you need an exnation?” Before he could speak, Natalie cut in, her eyes fixed on Cedric. Since


    you’ve also remembered our previous life, you should know everything about Isabe. Even if she


    sacrificed her life for me, I would never forgive her!‘


    “Nat.”


    “Because it was her who set Scarlet Vi on fire.‘


    Cedric fell silent again.


    A buzzing sound filled his head, and his mind went nk instantly!


    Natalie’s smirk widened when she saw his reaction.


    “You knew, didn’t you?”


    Even though he knew, he still demanded this of her.


    It seemed that Isabe had done everything after that to earn his forgiveness. So, she hadn’t sacrificed


    anything for Natalie, had she?


    Even if she did, it was only to get Cedric’s forgiveness.


    It wasn’t for Natalie’s sake.


    On this point, Natalie was crystal clear.


    “Cedric, I promised to move here just to be by your side. Don’t be too greedy for anything


    more.”


    “Having you by my side is already enough!” Cedric replied with a bitter tone.


    That was right.


    Just having Natalie by his side was enough.


    This was a rare chance for him!


    All his previous methods had failed, making this opportunity truly invaluable to him.


    Natalie’s l*ps curled into a cold smile.


    “Since this is what you want… I’ll grant your wish!”


    Thest part of her sentence was emphasized with particr weight.


    As she finished speaking, she stepped forward. Her departing figure seemed filled with an icy chill


    Cedric stood frozen in ce for a long time. He was unable to snap out of the daze induced by


    She would grant his wish?


    C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    Those words relentlessly pounded in his mind, tearing at his sanity. He was acutely aware that


    Natalie’s granting of his wish was not to be taken at face value.


    Inside the house, Ka sat at the dining table. The moment she saw Natalie walk in, she was so


    startled that the spoon in her hand ttered into her bowl.


    “Miss?” Chloe called out.


    Chloe was the servant attending to Ka. Seeing Natalie’s entrance and Ka’s reaction, there was


    concern in Chloe’s voice and a subtle hint of dissatisfaction toward Natalie.


    As Natalie entered the dining room, Chloe asked, “Ms. Walker, what brings you here?”


    “Chloe!” Chloe’s words were abruptly interrupted by the stern butler.


    With amanding tone, the butler dered, “Thisdy is our mistress. You will address her as


    Madam!”


    “Yes, sir!”


    Though the butler said that, Chloe’s gaze at Natalie was tinged with disdain and resentment. It was as


    if Chloe looked down upon someone who mistreated a child.


    The butler quickly arranged for Natalie’s tableware. Not expecting her arrival, breakfast preparations


    largely catered to Ka’s preferences. Everyone at Peach Garden had observed Cedric’s attitude


    toward Ka, so the care for her was evident.


    When Cedric returned, he noticed Ka subconsciously moving away from Natalie. He handed the


    suitcase to a nearby servant, approached Ka, and sat beside her.


    In his silentfort, Natalie clearly felt the tension in the child ease considerably.


    Natalie took a sip of her milk, then frowned deeply as she mmed the cup onto the table. The


    atmosphere, which had previously rxed, tensed up again at Natalie’s displeasure.


    “What is it?” Cedric shot a displeased nce at Natalie after seeing the frightened look on Ka’s face.


    Natalie replied sharply, “There’s sugar in it!”


    She didn’t like sugar in her milk–it was a habit she had maintained since being reborn in this


    world.
