Chapter 352 What Right Do You Have to Blame Me?
In the dining room, only Natalie and Cedric remained.
Natalie fixed her gaze on the man across from her, attempting to discern his expression.
However, at this moment, she couldn’t see anything clearly. The only thing she sensed was the chilling aura emanating from him.
Click!
The sound of a lighter echoed, followed by the strong smell of gasoline. Natalie narrowed her eyes, her face turning momentarily pale.
She had always known Cedric liked using this type of lighter. In this eerie silence, the sound reminded her
of her memories from her previous life.
The scent of gasoline… was her last memory of Cedric before the raging fire consumed her.
Cedric took two deep puffs and said, “She knows nothing.”
He was clearly referring to Kayla.
“Knows nothing about what?”
“From what she can remember, she has never seen Isabella. She has always been under Irwin’s control.”
Natalie was silent.
Irwin?!
It was as if Cedric had mentioned Irwin deliberately, and Natalie felt uncomfortable when she heard
Irwin’s name. It felt like a reminder of her past foolishness.
“Are you trying to flaunt your power over me?” Natalie sneered.
Why did Irwin enter her life?
It was because of the man before her!
Cedric’s eyes turn colder.
“Natalie.”
“Neither you nor him are any good. Don’t push all the blame onto him!”
“You
Cedric swallowed the words that had been on the tip of his tongue.
His expression changed from cold and rigid to somewhat gentle, and his lips curled up in a bitter smile.
“You’re right. I’m not a good person, just like him. We’re both no good!”
If they had to talk about the harm caused by the people around her, Cedric had inflicted the most on her.
“Do you know where Bianca is?” Natalie asked.
She didn’t want to discuss Irwin anymore. From an unknown point in time, she had become indifferent to
matters of the heart.
Upon discovering Irwin’s deceit, she simply acknowledged it and showed complete indifference.
“Has Lucas told you?”
“Are you trying to threaten me with Bianca again?”
Bianca…
Malcolm had used her to threaten Natalie. Irwin had done the same, and now… Cedric continued the
pattern.
These people… Hah!
Cedric’s presence became more intimidating.
I
“I don’t know when it started, but it seems I can only keep you by my side by resorting to threats.”
Yes, in the past, it wasn’t like this….
However, why exactly?
In Cedric’s heart, it was as clear as day.
“You keep talking about keeping me by your side. Do you know it’s like listening to a bad joke?” Natalie
said as she examined her exquisite nails.
On the way here, she had actually tried to contact Bianca in the car. However, her phone had been turned
off, Just like Leon’s.
That proved that Lucas had spoken the truth.
In Kayla’s heart, you’ve always been a motherly figure, Cedric suddenly said.
As Natalie examined her nails, she paused for a moment. When she looked at Cedric, her gaze became.
even sharper.
‘She’s only ten! Do you know what she felt when you threw her into the orphanage? She sees you as her mother! It made her feel as if you didn’t want her!” Cedric exclaimed.
As Cedric finished speaking, Natalie’s expression became colder.
As far as Kayla could remember, Isabella had never seen her.
In other words, Kayla considered Natalie her mother?!
“Cedric, are you an idiot?” Natalie could no longer tolerate it.
Cedric was silent.
“I’m a motherly figure to her? Why?!”
Why?
Was that really what the child thought?
“Nat, she’s just a child, and what we’re discussing now-” Cedric began, but Natalie cut off his words.
‘Discussing? Is this a discussion? You’ve brought me here clearly just to accuse me!”
Indeed, it wasn’t a discussion.
It was an accusation.
From the beginning, she was accused of being a certain kind of presence in the child’s heart, and then the
issue of the orphanage.
If this wasn’t an accusation, then what was it?
“What right do you have to blame me?” Natalie stood up, turning around to leave.
Cedric remained seated.
He felt cold.
Yes, Natalie was right.
He had no right to blame her,
As Natalie reached the door, she stopped and turned around.
Cedric, let me remind you once again, we’re divorced!”
“So, no matter what wrong choices I make, it’s my own problem. It has nothing to do with you!”
How she had handled Kayla was an example.
He thought she shouldn’t have put Kayla in the orphanage? He thought she was too cruel to a child?
What right did he have to say such things about her?
Just because of his relationship with Isabella?
Just as Natalie took another step, Cedric spoke up with a voice filled with restraint, “Do you know what
Isabella did for you?”
Natalie was silent.
Isabella did something for her?
