A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 Her Taboo 

It wasn’t that Cedric was fixated on her! 

It was clear that he was just being biased. He wanted to give Kayla a mother, not just a stepmother, right? 

This favoritism truly made others jealous. 

It was Isabella before, and now it was Kayla. 

“What does it feel like to be consumed by flames?” Cedric suddenly looked at Natalie, his sharp and piercing, as if he could see through everything. 

Natalie was silent. Upon hearing this, her face turned pale. 

s eyes 

“The fire in the detention center… It burned so much. It was agonizing!” She emphasized the term ‘detention center‘ particularly hard. 

Cedric fell silent, and the intensity in his eyes deepened further. 

“Then, what does it feel like to be in darkness?” 

He stressed each word heavily. 

Undoubtedly, things had been chaotic recently. Cedric had too many affairs on his plate, but that didn’t mean he had forgotten everything Natalie had said. 

Perhaps… he was testing her? 

However, seeing the hint of vulnerability in Natalie’s eyes and her slight tremble, Cedric seemed to have confirmed something. 

As he looked at Natalie, a storm seemed to rage within his eyes. 

No one knew the emotions raging inside Cedric at this moment. 

Previously, he had hoped Natalie wasn’t reincarnated! At least that way, she would have been spared from so much pain. 

But now, seeing the vulnerability in her eyes, he knew… she had experienced it all. 

“Nat,” he spoke again, his voice trembling. 

Natalie remained silent, staring back at him. 

After that brief moment of emotions in her eyes, she displayed an icy, silent demeanor. 

Stepping forward, Cedric firmly grasped Natalie’s shoulders. 

Despite their close proximity, Natalie continued to look at Cedric, saying nothing. 

“Nat, you.. 

“I’m exhausted,” she finally said, sensing his probing gaze. 

She felt conflicted! 

From her past life to the present.. 

What kind of twisted fate existed between her and Cedric? 

He was truly terrifying. 

Calling him clingy would be letting him off easy! Once this man started pursuing something, 

he would haunt it relentlessly. 

Even in death, he wouldn’t let go. 

Cedric gazed at the emotionless Natalie, his lips trembling. 

But in that moment, words failed him. 

In the end, Cedric left without getting the answers he sought. 

No one knew the turmoil raging within him. 

Natalie had indeed confirmed all his suspicions! 

After tonight’s revelation, the pain and suffocation in his chest were unbearable. 

His Nat…! 

He never expected how hard it would be to face the woman who had come from another 

lifetime. 

“Kyle.” 

“Yes, Your Excellency.” 

“If a woman were to hate you, what would you do?” 

Yes, hate! 

If she wasn’t from his previous life and had kicked up a fuss about getting divorce, it would have just been about her being hurt by Cedric’s turmoil and how it had affected their marriage. 

But Natalie was different. 

How exactly was she different? 

She hated him! 

Everything made sense now. 

He had always wondered why. 

Before the last trip to Wexford, he already had suspicions but quickly dismissed them. 

He truly didn’t want Natalie to be from their previous world because if she was, it meant she harbored deep–rooted resentment against him! 

When did she arrive? 

The divorce…! 

Yes, it must have been during their divorce. After observing how she handled public opinion, why didn’t he realize it? 

He should have known. 

In his past life, Natalie had been alone at Scarlet Villa. She had cried while facing public scrutiny! 

However, in this lifetime, her retaliation was fierce, and her resolve to leave him was firm. 

How would she have been so different if she hadn’t come from their past life? 

“Are you referring to Madam?” Kyle asked knowingly. 

Everyone around Cedric knew Natalie despised him deeply, to an unimaginable extent. 

Otherwise, why wouldn’t she even let him acknowledge their child? It wasn’t just about Wexford; it was the hate she felt. 

“In Madam’s heart, Ms. Morgan… is a taboo!” Kyle finally said, taking a deep breath when he noticed Cedric’s silence. 

Yes, Isabella was a taboo. 

Once it was Isabella, now it was Kayla. 

Cedric’s mind went blank for a moment, and his eyes narrowed in that instant. 

Without a doubt, Kyle was right. 

If Natalie truly hailed from their previous life, then Isabella was undoubtedly a taboo in 

Natalie’s heart. 

No matter what, she couldn’t accept Isabella. 

But that was because she didn’t know what role Isabella truly played in her world. 

If she knew, she would probably..! 

Realizing this, Cedric said, “Go back!” 

“Your Excellency?”
