Chapter 413 Why Are You So Worried About Him?
Natalie had always been a decisive person. Her ability to manage Regal Horizons International spoke volumes about her capabilities.
But Cedric’s actions were beyond comprehension!
She had once lived freely in Simeria.
But who would have thought that Cedric…?
Caleb didn’t know all the details, so he couldn’t fathom how Cedric could ask Natalie to accept
Isabella’s daughter.
Had Cedric truly lost his mind?
That was Isabella’s child!
Everyone knew about the events in Verde City. Natalie couldn’t even forgive Cedric. How could she ever accept Isabella’s child?
“Caleb, return to Verde City. I’m begging you!” Natalie’s voice was filled with suppressed
anger.
Caleb replied, “Don’t worry about me. I know what I need to do.”
“Caleb, I can’t bear to see you involved in this matter. Do you understand?”
“Let’s leave it at that!” Without waiting for Natalie to speak further, Caleb hung up.
Natalie exhaled deeply, suppressing the heaviness in her chest. As she turned, her phone slipped from her grasp. It hit the ground with a thud, echoing the weight in her heart.
Suddenly, Cedric appeared at the doorway, his face dark and intimidating.
“Were you talking to Caleb?” he asked, his voice dripping with menace as he approached.
Instinctively, Natalie retreated, but Cedric closed in, cornering her. She looked into his cold. eyes, feeling the pressure of his presence.
With a grip as cold as his demeanor, he held her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
“Do you only have eyes for him now?” he whispered menacingly.
“Let go… Ugh!”
Before she could finish, Cedric twisted her chin, causing her intense pain. Without waiting for her reaction, he released her and said, “Considering you had his child, it’s no surprise.”
Cedric had heard Natalie’s conversation with Caleb just now. She was so worried that Cedric would hurt Caleb…
Wasn’t that laughable?
In the past, she…
She had never displayed such concern for Cedric before. He could feel her emotions from where he stood at the door. It was as if her heart was bleeding in worry for Caleb.
Natalie tried to speak, but ultimately decided not to say anything. She couldn’t provoke Cedric further, especially regarding Caleb.
“Why so silent?” Cedric’s anger intensified as he watched her remain mute..
“What do you want me to say?”
‘Since you’re asking him to leave, get him to take the child with him!”
Natalie was silent.
The air grew thick with tension, a palpable silence enveloping them both.
Their eyes locked, and an intangible weight filled the space. It grew colder and more oppressive by the moment.
The moment the words left Cedric’s lips, regret washed over him.
What had he been thinking?
He only wanted Caleb gone. But if
Back then, he already knew.
He had watched her consume medicine after medicine. Despite her aversion to its bitter taste, she had persisted. Her brows had furrowed in discomfort each time.
He had wanted to stop her, to tell her he didn’t need a child if it meant risking herself.
As long as he had her…!
But she had been resolute.
Yet, the harsh reality of the child’s arrival had been cruel.
“After all that struggle to conceive, I learned this cruelty from Isabella herself. Cedric, it seems you haven’t changed one bit from our past life,” Natalie said, her voice laden with bitterness and accusation.
If outsiders were to discover that he had gone to such lengths across lifetimes just to be with her, they’d surely believe his love ran deep.
Little did they know…!
The truth was, he believed he had done something touching. But he was unaware that he remained unchanged deep down and was just nursing a lingering sense of resentment.
“Nat.”
Witnessing the icy chill in Natalie’s eyes and hearing her words, Cedric felt genuinely panicked.
