Chapter 405 Let Caleb Take Away the Child
In the end, it took Cedric a considerable effort to persuade Kayla to attend school.
Afterward, he headed straight for the kindergarten.
At that moment, Natalie was in a classroom playing games with Luna. She was holding Luna in her arms alongside other mothers. Cedric could see that maternal gentleness about her from behind and through the glass window.
No matter how she had changed, her patience with children remained undiminished.
His fists clenched tightly.
Thirty minutes later, Caleb received a call from Cedric, who informed him about the situation concerning Natalie and the child.
After detailing everything, Cedric uttered, “I hope you can take the child away.”
Caleb stayed silent as he rubbed his forehead.
Thankfully, Natalie had briefed him earlier. Otherwise, this call from Cedric would have been
utterly bewildering. He lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and then asked, “Do you genuinely love her?”
“Caleb!”
“So, you want me to take the child away so she’ll accept Isabella’s daughter?”
A heavy silence ensued.
That was his purpose, right?
Indeed, Natalie had to accept Isabella’s daughter. Cedric didn’t want Kayla to witness scenes.
like today again. Seeing Cedric’s silence, Caleb could make his own conclusions.
He said, “I’m telling you now, even if I take the child away, she won’t accept Isabella’s daughter!”
“Moreover, now that Nat and I have a child, shouldn’t my priority be to provide a complete family for them?”
“Caleb!”
“Cedric, in your single–minded pursuit of this matter, you’ve overlooked the fact that Natalie is a person with feelings!”
Just as Cedric was about to retort, Caleb calmly stated a fact over the phone, “Have you ever
Fair?
How much had Natalie endured and suffered because of him and Isabella?
While Caleb might not know about their past lives, he was aware of the ordeal Natalie had gone through, including the fire incident. All these were due to Cedric’s actions for Isabella.
Now, he was asking Natalie to accept Isabella’s daughter?!
How could she ever agree?
“If I were you, Cedric… I would never appear before her again,” Caleb remarked, emphasizing the taboo associated not just with Isabella but also with Cedric.
On the other end of the phone, a cold glint flashed in Cedric’s eyes.
Despite all of Caleb’s words, Cedric’s sole thought remained: “Take away the child!”
“You’ve truly lost your mind over Isabella,” Caleb remarked.
“You understand nothing! You know nothing at all!” Cedric retorted.
“I don’t need to know everything. All I need to know is that Natalie will suffer through all of this,” Caleb replied.
Indeed, she would suffer.
Did Cedric think this was merely a request for Natalie?
No, for her, it wasn’t just a simple request.
It genuinely inflicted pain upon her.
Yet, why did Natalie always appear so composed?
Wasn’t there a limit to one’s grief?
“Cedric, let me make it clear to you! I intend to provide my child with a complete family. As the mother of my child, I have every right to pursue Natalie,” Caleb asserted each word with
determination.
Cedric was already in a foul mood on the other end of the line, and he became even more agitated upon hearing Caleb’s decision. His entire being exuded a palpable sense of danger!
“How dare you?!” Cedric practically spat out the words.
“If you want to provide Isabella’s daughter with a complete family, you must let go of Natalie. Understand this.” Caleb’s tone grew more serious.
He paused for a moment, allowing the weight of his words to sink in before continuing,
ப
have Natalie, you must let go of everything related to Isabella.”
Cedric was left speechless, weighed down by the gravity of Caleb’s words.
It felt as though heavy stones had been placed upon his heart.
Everything Caleb said was undeniably true!
Natalie would never accept anything associated with Isabella.
For Natalie to be a part of his life, he would have to sever all ties with Isabella.
But how could he, especially considering Kayla?
She was just a child.
How could he make such a decision?
The people uttering these words seemed to be entirely ignorant of the sacrifices Isabella had made, of how she had given up everything, even her life, for Natalie.
How could they claim it had to be one or the other?
Cedric had intended to ask Caleb to take Luna away, ensuring that Kayla wouldn’t witness such
a scene in Simeria.
Little did he expect Caleb to take things a step further.
When Natalie received Caleb’s call and learned about Cedric’s earlier conversation, her heart leaped into her throat.
“Caleb, I’m so sorry…” Natalie began, holding her head in her hands.
She hadn’t anticipated Cedric’s reckless move of calling Caleb like a lunatic.
How could he ask Caleb to take Luna away?
