Cedric was fated to have aplicated destiny because of Wexford!
And his father... was the same. -
Natalie returned to Hillside Vi for dinner. The lights in the vi had mostly been changed.
After their trip to Evergreen Peak, Lydia and X returned to Hillside Vi to take care of things.
At this moment, Natalie said, "I still like bright lights!"
She spoke the truth!
Lydia and X exchanged nces. "We like it too."
Natalie smiled.
So, that was how it truly felt to see the light. This was why a person needed always to take care of their
eyes.
Losing one''s sight would truly mean losing one''s whole world!
Just then, the phone on the table vibrated. Natalie nced at the number and saw that it was Irwin.
She answered, "Hello."
"Where are you?"
"Hillside Vi."
"Dn wille to pick you up."
"Irwin, I told you..."
"Nat, I''ve said what I had to. I''ll only be here for three days."
So, did they have to put on a show for these three days? To let everyone in the Entes family know that
they were truly married?
Natalie fell silent, and the suffocating feeling in her chest intensified at his words!
"I think you know what matters more."
Should she know?
Even if she didn''t, his constant nagging made it crystal clear.
"Fine!"
Without waiting for the man on the other end of the phone to say anything else, Natalie hung up.
Undoubtedly, she was unwilling to interact with Irwin, let alone see him. However, it seemed that the
man wouldn''t let her off easily.
After hanging up the phone, it didn''t take long for Dn to arrive in his car.
Natalie couldn''t bring herself to show a stern face to Dn and eventually got into the car.
Natalie remained silent inside the car as she gazed out the window.
Halfway through the journey, Dn, who was driving, suddenly said, "Don''t hate him!"
Natalie was silent.
Upon hearing this, she looked at Dn with aplicated glint in her eyes. Yet, beneath that
Dn could tell that Natalie had a strong reaction whenever these matters were brought up. In fact, he
could only imagine what she felt when she discovered the truth behind everything that had happened!
Dn kept his eyes on the road ahead and continued, "Actually, you''re not a shadow to him. You''re his
sce!"
Sce?
When Dn said these words, there was a hint of bitterness in his tone. He had personally witnessed
how much pain and madness Irwin had experienced because of that person.
Irwin had gone through such madness, and he had also experienced so much pain after he discovered
the truth...!
Over the years, Dn had always wondered if Irwin could make it to the end if Natalie hadn''t existed.
Or if Irwin met Natalie before Cedric did, then perhaps Cedric wouldn''t have had any chance afterward.
When Irwin learned about Natalie''s presence, ir''s shadow had always ovepped with her.
Irwin would watch Natalie from afar with aplicated glint in his eyes, but there was also aforting
sce.
At some point, Irwin began to look at her differently, unlike before.
Then, he... stopped!
The schemes, the hysteria, were meant to make Cedric taste the bitterness of losing his beloved...!
However, in the end, those schemes took on a different twist.
Irwin stood by Natalie''s side.
While plotting against Cedric, he also protected Natalie time and time again. He wanted Cedric to taste
what he deserved. Yet, he didn''t want Natalie to get hurt.
He changed!
It was as if he had be apletely different person.
Irwin was no longer solely focused on scheming against Cedric. His heart... was thoroughly shaken.
Natalie hadpletely pried open the tightly sealed, icy heart of his.
"Hah!"
In response to Dn''s words, Natalie just snorted coldly.
Sce?
Of course, it was sce!
After all, her face bore an eighty percent resemnce to ir''s.
When Dn heard Natalie''s response, he knew she hadn''t let it go, not even a bit!
There was too much.
Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
In her world, too much had happened.
"Whether you believe it or not, he had feelings for you long ago and never intended to hurt you."
If Irwin hadn''t harbored feelings, then despite her resemnce to ir, he wouldn''t have repeatedly
saved her from perilous situations.
His heart was cold and devoid of warmth!
It was difficult for anyone to enter Irwin''s heart after that incident, but Natalie was different!
When Dn saw Irwin helping her, he knew... Irwin had indeed developed feelings for Natalie, and he...
couldn''t bear it!
However, at that time, it seemed everything with Cedric had already be irreversible, so Irwin kept
intervening time and time again.
Natalie said she was just a substitute!
At first, that was true...!
However, she was no longer just that.
"Mr. Warren, please stop!" Natalie''s tone grew stern.
Clearly, she didn''t want to say too much on this matter. Some things didn''t need to be said much.
After all, things had already reached this point.
Dn frowned as he looked at Natalie.
"Don''t be too cruel to him."
Yes.
To Dn, Natalie''s current attitude towards Irwin was cruel. Even to Cedric, it was cruel! They had both
let her down and ced all the me on her. And now, they were slowly returning everything to her.
They were trying their best to make it up to her!
Naturally, they didn''t want her to spend the rest of her life consumed by hatred. They hoped she could
live a little more freely, even if it meant using the most extreme measures to ensure she wouldn''t suffer
any harm in thetter part of her life.
"Cruel?" When she heard these words, Natalieughed sarcastically.
She said, "Mr. Warren, don''t you think it''s cruel that a woman had to protect her child with her life after
being hurt by her husband?"
"Or do you think I should endure all those cruelties on my own?"
It''s one thing for her to suffer alone, but to involve her child...!
Nobody knew how Natalie truly felt when she found out others orchestrated all the cruelty she had
endured.
Now, Dn was saying she was cruel!
Was she cruel to Irwin?
Or did Dn not know what Irwin had done to her in the past?
Was that why he drew such a conclusion?
Dn fell silent. From this brief conversation, he could sense that Natalie had deep-seated grievances,
and making her let go of everything in her heart might not be so simple.
In the end, silence prevailed.
The rest of the journey was made in silence, and they arrived at Maple Peak without exchanging
another word.
However, when they went in and saw who was inside, Natalie''s already unpleasant expression sank
even further.
The atmosphere instantly became chilly!
