Chapter 411 The Art of Being Impartial
Just as Cedric was about to pick up his phone to remind Natalie that a week had passed, the sound of an engine echoed from the villa entrance.
Bang!
It was followed by the sound of a car door slamming shut.
He stood up and swiftly approached the entrance.
He saw I
Natalie holding a suitcase, standing not far away, while the car that had dropped her off was already gone.
At that moment, Cedric’s lips curled into a brief smile. Hastily, he took the suitcase from her and held her other hand.
It felt as though he was holding the whole world.
Her hand remained delicate, soft, and slightly cold.
“Why is it so cold?” Cedric’s tone was gentle but carried a hint of reproach.
Having studied medicine before, he naturally knew that if a girl’s hands were too cold, it could indicate poor health.
Natalie remained silent.
Though she had moved to Peach Garden and had her own plans, acting tenderly towards Cedric as she did before was something she couldn’t do.
“Why didn’t you bring the child?” Cedric asked.
Seeing Natalie’s silence, he wasn’t bothered.
Perhaps this was the attitude he deserved.
“How would you rate your skills in being impartial?” Natalie sarcastically retorted.
At her words, Cedric froze.
He looked into Natalie’s eyes.
The icy sarcasm in her eyes pierced him. Merely moving here wouldn’t make it easy for her to accept everything.
At that moment, Cedric realized this clearly.
Natalie coldly pulled her hand away from Cedric’s warm, broad palm. The moment his hand. was empty, Cedric felt as if his heart had also emptied.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the heaviness in his chest.
“Nat, whatever you think of me, please… don’t show that side to the child.”
He was referring to Kayla
Over time, Cedric had observed that Kayla. Due to her early lack of security, she was extremely sensitive. If she saw this side of Natalie, it would undoubtedly deepen her trauma.
Natalie chuckled..
Her laugh was cold, mocking, and dangerous.
The danger in her eyes made Cedric’s heart tighten.
“Let’s try to get along, okay?” Cedric’s voice carried an unprecedented humility, almost pleading.
Yes.
He was acting so humble!
Had Cedric ever been this humble?
He had made mistakes in the past. He had disappointed her, and now he wanted her to come
back.
Even if he had to kneel on the ground, what of it?
“She really adores you. Just a glance from you makes her happy for a long time,” Cedric said.
Indeed, Kayla was a sensitive child.
Growing up without much security, she deeply yearned for a mother’s love.
Yet, even as Cedric’s tone became so humble, Natalie coldly reminded him, “Is love that will be lost worth anything?”
Cedric fell silent.
Love that would be lost?
she…!
“Nat, since I’ve brought you back, I never planned on letting you leave my side again.”
“I’m not her mother!” Her tone remained icy.
Each word was bitten off with such weight that Cedric felt Natalie was so cruel at that moment.
However, what he didn’t know, or perhaps had forgotten, was just how cruel he had been when he had Natalie give her eyes to Isabella.
How deeply had he wounded Natalie then?
“Do you need an explanation?” Before he could speak, Natalie cut in, her eyes fixed on Cedric. Since you’ve also remembered our previous life, you should know everything about Isabella. Even if she sacrificed her life for me, I would never forgive her!‘
“Nat.”
“Because it was her who set Scarlet Villa on fire.‘
Cedric fell silent again.
A buzzing sound filled his head, and his mind went blank instantly!
Natalie’s smirk widened when she saw his reaction.
“You knew, didn’t you?”
Even though he knew, he still demanded this of her.
It seemed that Isabella had done everything after that to earn his forgiveness. So, she hadn’t sacrificed anything for Natalie, had she?
Even if she did, it was only to get Cedric’s forgiveness.
It wasn’t for Natalie’s sake.
On this point, Natalie was crystal clear.
“Cedric, I promised to move here just to be by your side. Don’t be too greedy for anything
more.”
“Having you by my side is already enough!” Cedric replied with a bitter tone.
That was right.
Just having Natalie by his side was enough.
This was a rare chance for him!
All his previous methods had failed, making this opportunity truly invaluable to him.
Natalie’s lips curled into a cold smile.
