    Chapter 516 It’s Time to End


    Irwin’s head was throbbing intensely now.


    This was why Natalie could never find out! Once she did, many things would spiral out of control.


    And that was precisely where they were now: a state ofplete chaos!


    Natalie’s entire body trembled.


    The ten years of their rtionship had already beenpletely overturned in her heart.


    Now, knowing that Cedric’s people were nning to take Luna too, it was as if the wild beasts deep


    within her had finally been unleashed. She had suppressed these feelings for so many years.


    She wasn’t a saint!


    How could she keep suppressing everything after all that had happened?!


    Smack!


    ” “I


    The crisp sound of a p echoed as Natalie used all her strength to p him across the face. Her


    sharp nails left bloody marks on his skin.


    The air stood still.


    For a long while, Irwin stood motionless, unable to respond. By the time he came to his senses, Natalie


    had already left.


    Upon hearing that Natalie had returned, Cedric looked at Ka. The child had an unusually pale face


    and was holding a doll.


    Ka had been discharged from the hospital. The surgery had been sessful, but perhaps due to the


    severity of the illness, her face was still very pale.


    Cedric gazed at her. “Ka.”


    “Yes, Daddy?”


    “After this busy period, would you like Daddy to take you out to y for a while?”


    After experiencing this ordeal, Cedric realized the immense pressure children faced. The academic


    stress alone was overwhelming!

    Just looking at her homework gave him a headache, let alone for such a young child.


    Looking deep into her eyes with tenderness, he saw the eager nod from the little one.


    “Sure!”


    Children, after all, love to y. Hearing about an outing lit up her face, bringing warmth and healing to


    Cedric’s heart.


    The butler came in to report that Natalie had arrived. The gentle smile on Cedric’s face instantly


    vanished as he turned to Ka.


    “Ka, why don’t you go y with the nannies for a while?”


    “Okay.”


    Ka was indeed sweet and obedient. Nodding, Ka went on her way.

    “Where is she?”


    “We showed her to the garden,” the butler replied.


    Given the conflicts between Cedric and Natalie concerning Ka before, Lucas had instructed the


    servants to keep an eye out.


    So, whenever Natalie arrived, a check on this side was customary. As Cedric was with Ka, the butler


    came to report promptly on Natalie’s arrival.


    In the garden, the scent of flowers was delightful.


    As Cedric approached, he saw Natalie seated calmly on a wicker chair, holding a freshly served cup of


    coffee. Steam rose from the cup, indicating its warmth.


    “You’re back,” Cedric said,posing himself as he approached, his eyes radiating gentleness.


    It had been an unbearable few days for Cedric!


    With Irwin involved, unexpected things were always a possibility.


    But just as he settled down…


    Ssh!


    Suddenly, Cedric felt a burning sensation on his face. The coffee that had been in Natalie’s hand was


    now sshed all over him.


    The cup crashed onto the table loudly..


    At that moment, the calm facade on Natalie’s face shattered. She looked at the disheveled Cedric, her


    inner anger still unresolved.

    Their eyes met, a storm brewing within his.


    “Have you had enough fun?” Natalie asked with a biting tone.


    Cedric remained silent, taken aback by the sudden question.


    Fun?


    “Enough of this tender act. It’s time to end the charade,” she dered coldly.
