Obviously, it was Cedric!
He was the man she least wanted to encounter.
“Waaah! Waaah!” Luna cried out from a short distance away.
Upon hearing her child’s cries, Natalie’s initial cold demeanor melted away, and she seemed
disoriented.
“Luna, it’s okay!” Rushing to her daughter, Natalie enveloped her in aforting embrace. “Mommy,
I’m scared!”
“Don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here.”
“There’s a bad guy… A bad guy!”
Luna’s fear stemmed from seeing Cedric. Observing the mother and daughter embrace from a
distance, especially hearing the child’s description of him, filled Cedric with a bitter taste.
A bad guy–that was how he was remembered in Luna’s eyes.
Yes, that was the memory he left behind for her.
“Yes, he’s a bad man. Don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here,”
With Natalie around, no one would hurt Luna!
She was determined to protect her daughter from anyone who wanted to harm her!
Cedric watched them from a distance, feeling as if his heart was being ruthlessly torn. He felt
suffocated by the pain.
When they heard themotion, Agnes and the servants rushed over. Their hearts pounded fast upon
seeing Cedric.
Heather and Stephen had also rushed out..
Upon seeing Cedric, Heather’s voice dripped with hostility.
“What are you doing here?!”
Stephen intervened and said, “Go check on Nat.”
“Mommy,e quickly!” Her daughter beckoned, waving her hands. Natalie followed her shadow.
However, for reasons unknown, she stumbled. Unable to see clearly, she lost her bnce and leaned
forward uncontrobly.
Natalie felt her heart leap into her throat, thinking she was about to tumble. Then, a sudden force

Heather and Stephen had also rushed out..
Upon seeing Cedric, Heather’s voice dripped with hostility.
“What are you doing here?!”
Stephen intervened and said, “Go check on Nat.‘
Suppressing her feelings of resentment toward Cedric upon hearing Stephen’s words, Heather rushed
towards Natalie.
“Are you okay, Nat?” Heather crouched down, taking Luna from Natalie’s arms.
Natalie shook her head weakly, “I’m fine.”
“I’m fine!” Natalie imed.
But internally, her emotions were in turmoil.
She had sent the Schneider family in Cedric’s way primarily to ensure that he would never find peace
again. Her intent was to keep Cedric away from her life forever.
So, she hadn’t anticipated seeing him here!
Without even asking, Natalie knew the situation back in Wexford. Amidst the chaos, Cedric’s sudden
appearance only intensified the tension!
“Come with me,” Heathermanded, clutching Luna tightly with one arm while pulling Natalie along
with the other.
In that moment, Heather embodied the fierce protectiveness of a mother and grandmotherbined.
She wanted no possibility of further interaction between Natalie and Cedric. Heather could never
forgive Cedric for the state Natalie was now in!
Taking hold of both Natalie and Luna, Heather moved swiftly. Her defensive stance against Cedric
looked as if she were guarding against a thief.
After they left, only Stephen and Cedric remained.
Stephen met Cedric’s gaze, his expression less than weing. “I thought you’d be entirely upied
over in Wexford by now.”
