    Chapter 498 I Can’t Handle You


    Ten years!


    Indeed, a decade could change so much. It was enough time to achieve one’s goals and even


    transform oneself.


    And he…!


    Wexford was the turning point.


    When Irwin realized how desperately he wanted to keep certain things from her, he knew… he had


    completely fallen.


    In truth, he had sensed something before. But back then, he had refused to acknowledge it, willing to


    do anything to achieve his goals.


    “Did you have something to do with Ka’s illness?” Natalie asked, her voice icy, not softening even a


    bit despite Irwin’s tone.


    “Nat!” Irwin eximed.


    “The incident with Luna and Ka… It was also part of your n, right?”


    Was it?


    The answer was yes!


    He knew exactly what disgusted her. So, he understood what could damage her rtionship with


    Cedric.


    He knew what to do so that their rtionship would bepletely shattered.

    He had achieved his goal!


    Natalie was a an intelligent woman. Even if the matter had been unrted to Irwin, she would inevitably


    link it to him after his decade of maniption.


    “Believe it or not, that had nothing to do with me. I achieved my objectives then and had no reason to


    go further,” Irwin stated.


    Natalie was silent, and her sharp gaze softened slightly upon hearing his response.


    As Irwin knew, Luna was what mattered most to her. If she discovered his machinations had harmed


    Luna, her reaction toward Irwin would be more catastrophic than with Cedric.


    “It’s best if it’s as you say,” Natalie replied coldly.

    “Ka has been discharged from the hospital,” Irwin added.


    Natalie was silent as her gaze out the window became colder.


    “Her days by your side have been good, right?”


    It had been a long time of plotting…!


    Irwin was silent, slightly taken aback.


    From Natalie’s and Cedric’s interactions, it was evident how much she detested Ka. After all, being


    Isabe’s daughter, it was a wonder Natalie showed any patience toward her at all.


    Irwin took a deep breath. “I’ve never met that child.”


    “You’ve never met her?” Natalie repeated..


    “She’s not that important to me,” he replied.


    Natalie fell silent.


    Irwin was indeed aplex man. Recognizing Natalie’s aversion to Ka, he had purposefully


    distanced himself from the child.


    While Ka lived under his protection, the circumstances differed greatly from Cedric’s involvement.


    Yet, Irwin’s exnation did little to ease Natalie’s mood.


    “Promise me,” he began, “At least for the duration of our stay here, put aside your thoughts. about


    those ten years. Can you do that?”


    To both Cedric and Irwin, those ten years were a significant obstacle!


    “Is it that important?” Natalie questioned.


    “Otherwise, our stay might be prolonged.”


    “Are you threatening me?”


    “Nat, I can’t handle you,” Irwin admitted.


    Obviously, Irwin found that he was helpless toward Natalie since she had set foot on Wexford soil.


    Natali smirked coldly.


    Couldn’t handle her?


    He had plenty of ways to do so, such as keeping her in the dark about Casey’s findings, bringing her to


    the pristine snowyndscapes of Mount Elven, and ensuring she remained. isted from the outside


    world!
