A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 As Long as It’s Within My Power 

The journey Clyde had undertaken to reach this point was fraught with twists and turns, not to mention the myriad pains and moments of despair he had endured

How he managed to overcome it all was beyond imagination

Enough, it’s all in the past now!Clyde patted Natalie’s back, trying to console her

However, from an angle Natalie couldn’t see, a glint of sharpness flashed in Clyde’s eyes

It took a while before Natalie felt comforted by Clyde. As she settled, Clyde stepped out to make a phone call

The voice on the other end answered promptly, Sir!” 

Who has been investigating me?” 

Even though he had meticulously erased his past, someone determined enough would undoubtedly uncover it

Yet, no one would dare to expose such sensitive information casually

Based on her reactiondid Natalie discover something

Otherwise, given her nature, she wouldn’t have reached out to him and called him Bro, let 

alone embrace him

The only plausible explanation was that someone was using his past against her

The voice on the phone soon replied, It’s Mr. Johnson.” 

At this revelation, a shadow crossed Clyde’s eyes

I got it,he replied in a chillingly cold tone

So, had Cedric used Clyde’s past to threaten Natalie? Was Cedric truly at his wit’s end, and had nothing else to use against her

Yes, that must be it.. 

Otherwise, why would Cedric do such a thing

At lunchtime, Cedric had brought Kayla home to eat

But an unexpected visitor arrived

It was Clyde

+25 BONUS 

You eat first. I need to attend to a guest,Cedric instructed

Okay,Kayla obediently nodded

To her, it seemed like the morning’s events had faded away. But those who spent time with her knew better. When a child was hurt, their psychological scars would linger for a very long 

time

In the tea room, Cedric remarked, I never thought you’d be from the Jarvis family!” 

Though both had distinct identities in Wexford, their paths hadn’t crossed much. Still, they were aware of each other’s deeds, given the intricacies of Wexford

Lifting the teacup before him, Clyde took a sip. He said in a chillingly indifferent tone, Neither did I expect you to do such things to her 

Her being Natalie

Cedric knew full well that Natalie’s vulnerability lay in her familial ties

She had once lost everything, which made her value familial bonds all the more

Yet, who would have thought that Cedric would stoop so low as to use this against her

Upon hearing this, Cedric was stunned. You know?” 

Your despicable tactics will only push her further away from you,Clyde sneered as he glanced critically at Cedric

And Clyde spoke the truth

Wasn’t everything Cedric was doing driving Natalie further and further away from him

There weren’t many feelings left between you two to start with. But with all this manipulation, you might just lose her completely,Clyde remarked

Was there even any feelings left

Deep down, Cedric knew

If Natalieif she had come from another world, her feelings for him might have dwindled to nearly nothing

Otherwise, why would she bear Caleb’s child

I’m sorry, but I have to do this,Cedric said, each word heavy with emotion

Indeed, he understood Clyde’s implications, but he couldn’t let go

With his current mindset, Cedric was determined to use any means necessary to keep Natalie by his side. Now, his obsession with Natalie had reached unprecedented heights. Regardless of 

+25 BONUS 

He only wanted Natalie by his side. Everything elsedidn’t matter anymore

Clyde chuckled a cold, mocking laugh

And what can you offer her?Despite understanding Cedric’s disturbing fixation, Clyde still 

asked

If Cedric was so insistent on Natalie, then what could he truly offer her

Anything she wants. As long as it’s within my power, I would give it to her, Cedric declared

In that case, get that child out of Simeria,” Clyde retorted mockingly, looking directly at 

Cedric

Indeed, anyone privy to this relationship would know that Cedric only had a few choices to choose from. He had no other options

To have Natalie, he’d have to send Kayla away

If he chose Kayla, then Natalie wasn’t someone who would easily compromise

Cedric felt a coldness in his chest, gripping him tightly

You see, you can’t even provide that,Clyde said, noticing Cedric’s silence

You truly don’t understand,Cedric retorted

And who says we need to? We just need to know what’s acceptable and what’s not,Clyde responded coldly

That was their stance. It was also Natalie’s stance

Indeed, Natalie didn’t need to understand everything

Could she even accept Kayla, let alone Cedric himself

A sharp pain gripped Cedric’s heart, and soon, a cold glint flashed in his eyes

You truly are stubborn,Clyde remarked, observing Cedric’s demeanor

He realized that no matter what he said now, he wouldn’t be able to convince Cedric

Cedric had become a man who wouldn’t listen to reason

As Clyde stood up, Cedric finally spoke, If it were you, how would you choose?” 

If it were Clyde

Clyde cast a condescending glance at him, stating clearly, I would never let myself reach the point, you’re at now.
