Chapter 481 He’d Be Pleased
Cedric couldn’t do it?!
No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t.
He just wasn’t willing to do it!

Isabe was so important to him, and so was Ka!
How could he bear to do such a thing?!
Natalie turned and walked inside.
“Nat, do you have to do this?”
Cedric was talking about Ka. Ever since Ka came into his life, Natalie seemed unwilling to let go
of anything pertaining to her.
Ka was just a child!
Seeing Natalie’s intense hostility towards the child and thinking about Ka’s dependence on Natalie,
Cedric immediately felt a pang of pain go through his heart.
Natalie didn’t answer his question and continued walking in.
How exactly were things between Natalie and Ka?
Cedric had already clearly seen it before, so it was surprising that he could still ask such a question
now!
At noon, Irwin had yet to return.
At the table, a young maid brought the soup Natalie usually drank at Lotus Vi and prepared some
dishes that Natalie loved.
“What kind of dish is this? It’s crispy and delicious.”
Unexpectedly, Natalie enjoyed the taste.
Natalie took a closer look at the dishes on the table. It seemed to be the first time Natalie had tried
them, but the taste was well thought out.
“It’s lotus stem. Do you like it, Miss?”
“Yes, it tastes good. I didn’t know this could be eaten,” Natalie said, observing the many tiny holes in
the stem, simr to lotus roots but finer.
“If the master knew you liked it, he’d be so pleased,” the young maid said with a smile.

Seeing Natalie’s approval, she clearly felt relieved.
Natalie looked outside at the rain pouring down again andmented, “With this kind of weather, it’s
surprising that these can grow here.*
She was speaking the truth. After all, as far as she knew, lotus nts requlied good weather. especially

Lotus roots might be fine, but lotus flowers and others needed better conditions.
“It was all brought over from Verde City,” the young maid exined.
Natalie was speechless.
Verde City?!
When she heard those two words, her heart trembled slightly.
After Irwin returned, his eyes softened when he heard Natalie enjoyed lunch.
“She also had some snacks in the afternoon,” the young maid reported every detail of
Natalie’s daily routine to Irwin.
Irwin listened carefully. Evidently, he was screening what Natalie liked to eat.
Upstairs, Natalie popped an almond into her mouth. She was already tired of this taste, but there
wasn’t anything better to eat right now. So, she tolerated it.
Suddenly, Irwin appeared behind her and gently pulled her into his embrace.
‘Did hee to see you today?”
‘Don’t you already know?” Natalie’s tone grew cold.
Irwin responded, “Wexford is chaotic. I need to ensure everything is in order here for you.”
His voice remained gentle, devoid of any discernible emotion.
Natalie scoffed, “You always say the nicest things, don’t you?”
Having known Irwin for so long, Natalie had to admit that his sweet talk was incredibly potent
and terrifying.
She turned around, and Irwin tightened his grip around her waist.
“I’m saying these things for you.”
“Yes, sure. For me!” Natalie said through gritted teeth.
Irwin felt exasperated.

This girl… What would it take to satisfy her?
Natalie’s cold fingers traced his features, “How many girls have you deceived with such tenderness?”
Irwin was silent.
This little vixen!
Natalie had always been a well–behaved woman, but what was this action about?
He firmly grasped her mischievous hand.
“I’ve never deceived anyone else, only you.”
And he… regretted the deceit.
With such a charming tone, most women would willingly fall into his hands upon hearing such words.
They would probably even willingly die for him.
Yet, Natalie seemed to despise this deception of his!
Just as Irwin was about to hold her tighter and lean in, Natalie suddenly turned her head away. “Nat,
you..
