Chapter 355 Has to Accept That Child
When Natalie arrived at the office, Wendy approached with a massive stack of documents.
As Natalie gazed at the mountain–like pile of files, it reminded her that it was the beginning of the month when an endless stream of documents needed handling.
“Wendy.”
“Yes, Ms. Walker!”
“Book a flight for me three days from now to Snow City, secretly,” Natalie instructed.
The image o
of Cedric appearing at the school gate with Kayla flashed in her mind. It made her realize that this unpredictable man might not leave Simeria anytime soon.
Not only that, but he also planned to enroll Kayla in school here.
With this situation, Natalie naturally couldn’t allow her child to return to Simeria.
When Natalie had told Cedric there wasn’t any child between them, he still insisted on pestering her. So, if he found out about the child, Natalie’s peace would undoubtedly be disrupted even more!
“Yes, ma’am!” Wendy nodded, a bit sympathetic toward Natalie. Natalie would surely be working late for
these three days at the company.
Natalie immersed herself in work, and in the morning, Jason arrived. She was too occupied to entertain him. Jason mentioned that a renowned plastic surgeon had come to Simeria and wanted her to find time
to meet.
Natalie replied dismissively, “What’s there to be afraid of when my scars are always covered?”
She seemed indifferent to the scars and didn’t have any intentions to have surgery for them.
But wasn’t she being too insensitive about it?
“I’m telling you, you’re beyond help!” Jason didn’t know what to say to Natalie anymore.
Annoyed, Natalie retorted. “Can’t you see I’m busy?”
With her plans to go to Snow City, she wanted to finish all her work immediately. It left her no time to deal
with Jason
Seeing her impatience, Jason stood up and said, “If Mr. Jarvis asks me to look for another doctor for you,
you’re on your own! I can’t be bothered anymore”
Jason was usually a polite gentleman, but he was irritated by Natalie’s attitude.
Natalie just smiled as Jason left.
She buried herself in the files once again. By lunchtime, she hadn’t noticed how quickly time flew when
one was busy.
“Ms. Walker!” Wendy entered, sounding a
hit tense.
Natalie was engrossed in the documents and didn’t sense the tension in Wendy’s tone.
She simply asked, “What is it?”
“Mr. Johnson is here!”
At the mention of his name, Natalie paused in her actions. She sighed.
Didn’t that man ever give up?!
Before she could say anything, Cedric had already entered with Kayla.
Knowing how much Natalie was affected by Kayla, Wendy couldn’t help but feel that Cedric was either thoughtless or too domineering!
But would Natalie accept this show of force?
“Ms. Walker.” Wendy looked worriedly at Natalie.
“You can leave,” Natalie said.
“Yes, ma’am.”
After Wendy left, Kayla looked timidly at Natalie, her eyes filled with caution. Natalie understood the pressure the child felt toward her.
Even so, Natalie’s expression remained unpleasant.
If Cedric was such a great man, he shouldn’t bring Kayla with him! It made her seem like a villain.
“Why are you here?” Natalie’s tone wasn’t welcoming.
Cedric led the child to sit on the side. He said, “Kayla insisted on bringing this for you.”
At his words, Natalie noticed that Kayla was holding a thermos. As Cedric spoke, she cautiously
approached Natalie’s desk, holding the thermos.
She remained silent, just looking at Natalie.
Those eyes. were genuinely pure.
In reality, a ten–year–old understands many things. Therefore, this purity, at this moment, seemed impure
to Natalie
At the age of ten, Isabella probably harbored nothing but hatred toward her and was already thinking of
ways to plot revenge
Bang!
The thermos slammed onto the carpet, making a mullled sound. The lid flew off, and the dessert inside spilled out. It was still steaming hot.
The air instantly fell silent, then turned cold.
Kayla looked at the overturned thermos on the floor, then at Natalie. Tears overflowed in her eyes, and she turned and ran toward Cedric.
Cedric picked up the child in his arms.
Natalie was frustrated by the man’s icy expression.
It was her fault…
She had accidentally hit it while reaching for the file…!
Looking at Cedric’s cold gaze, the apology got stuck in her throat and turned into a chilly silence.
What was there to explain? How many misunderstandings existed between her and Cedric? What was
one more?
Cedric glanced at her coldly. He stood up and walked away with the child without looking back. The icy footsteps seemed to indicate disappointment in her.
“Tsk!” Natalie scoffed coldly.
The irritation on her expression grew as she watched the man leave.
When Wendy entered, she saw a mess on the floor.
“Ms. Walker!”
This was…!
It was the thermos Kayla had been holding. What happened? How did it end up on the floor?!
Clearly, she wasn’t pleased about seeing Cedric and Kayla here.
Wendy was stunned momentarily and then said, “But… Mr. Jarvis said we shouldn’t stop Mr. Johnson if he
came over.”
“Uncle did?”
