Chapter 382 Is He’s Threatening You?
Back at Lotus Villa, Clyde was still awake.
When Natalie entered, he was on the phone. His expression was unpleasant, and he seemed to have mentioned Wexford.
Natalie’s heart tightened once again.
When Clyde saw her, he hastily said something to the other end, then hung up and walked towards Natalie.
“Why are you back so late? And in your sleepwear?!” Clyde asked. 9
Instead of answering his question, Natalie changed the subject and asked, “Is there another issue in Wexford?”
At the mention of Wexford, Clyde’s frown deepened. He wasn’t a talkative person, and he still needed some time to get used to the recent change in his status since coming to Simeria.
The only person he probably spoke more often to was Natalie. They looked identical and had been in the same space since the moment they came to life.
Even after being separated for so many years, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them, tugging at their hearts involuntarily.
“It’s not a big issue. You don’t need to worry,” Clyde said.
“Is it Cedric?” Natalie’s tone became sharper when she asked this question.
“Is he threatening you?” Clyde hissed through gritted teeth.
Natalie remained silent.
Watching the fleeting resentment in the man’s eyes, she smiled. She reached out and patted the man on his shoulder.
“You…!” Clyde started.
“Don’t worry, I’ve been through this with him for so many years. I’m almost used to it,”
Natalie said.
The difference now was that there used to be a connection between them, and now there.
wasn’t.
So, her heart had grown cold.
None of the man’s actions could hurt her.
A flicker of anger and tenderness flashed in Clyde’s eyes involuntarily when he heard Natalie’s
Clyde had someone investigate the days between Natalie and Cedric over the years.
“Don’t succumb to his threats. He’s just a mad dog causing trouble with his random bites,” Clyde advised
“Pfft…” Hearing Clyde’s description of Cedric, Natalie couldn’t help but chuckle.
She had to admit that this description was quite accurate!
“Yes, he’s a mad dog!”
“Get some sleep,” Clyde said.
It seemed he still had matters to attend to, so he picked up the phone and walked away.
Natalie’s eyes softened as she watched him walk away.
Yes, he was her brother.
Though Clyde seemed a bit reluctant, especially since he did his own DNA test after she told him about hers, it didn’t change the fact that they were siblings.
Back in her room, Luna was already asleep
The nanny was by her side. When she saw Natalie enter, she greeted her respectfully, “Miss.”
“You can get some rest. I’m here now.
“Yes, ma’am.”
The nanny hurriedly left the room after her dismissal.
Luna’s face looked like a little angel in the dim light, and her innocent expression was truly
charming
Natalie hadn’t noticed it before. But now, she could see a trace of Cedric as she watched the peaceful expression on Luna’s face, especially in her small nose and mouth.
Luna was like a carbon copy of the man.
Images of what happened in Peach Garden lingered in her mind–Cedric protecting Kayla and how he looked at Natalie with those eyes…!
It was really too similar.
It was how he had looked at her when he was protecting Isabella back then.
How laughable!
Natalie took off her nightgown and threw it in the trash, cleaning herself thoroughly in the bathroom before coming out.
Cedric had given that to her in Peach Garden. She didn’t want anything that belonged to him..
She picked up Luna and listened to her warm and even breaths. She could even clearly hear Luna’s heartbeat.
“Sleep well, my little moon.” Natalie gently kissed Luna’s forehead, her and affection.
eyes
full of tenderness
Despite the annoyance caused by Cedric’s constant pestering during this time, it was also the happiest time for Natalie.
Being able to sleep with her child every night and feel the child’s breath and warmth was something she cherished.
But thinking about the potential challenges in the future, a hint of deep concern flashed in Natalie’s eyes.
However, it was followed by a firm resolve.
Early the next morning, around seven o’clock, Luna’s biological clock woke her up.
Crawling onto Natalie, she said, “Mama! Mama! Milk! Want milk!”
Natalie opened her eyes groggily. She stared at Luna, who was lying on her, and her eyes softened.
She smiled. “Okay, wait a moment.”
Placing Luna on the bed, Natalie got up and went downstairs to prepare milk.
Heather was already awake. When she saw Natalie, she was surprised.
“You came back last night?”
“Yeah.”
“I thought you wouldn’t come back. That’s why I had the nanny stay in the room with Luna.”
Heather originally planned to have Luna spend the night with her. However, since they returned to Simeria, Luna surprisingly insisted on staying in Natalie’s room. So, she refused to sleep in Heather’s room last night.
Habits were terrifying, especially when it came to children. Heather couldn’t sleep in Natalie’s room, so she eventually let the dedicated nanny stay with the child.
While preparing milk for the child, Natalie said, I’ll be with Luna every night.”
No matter how late, she would come back!
She probably felt this way because of a parent’s concern for their children and the children’s reliance on their parents!
Heather nodded but remained silent. The atmosphere at that moment was noticeably heavy.
Back in the room, Luna had a messy bedhead and was waiting on the bed. When Natalie handed over the milk bottle, Luna immediately rolled on the bed and drank.
As Luna drank her milk, her little legs curled up in the air. Natalie’s heart couldn’t help but soften at the sight.
