A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 541

"You never thought of it then, did you?"

Whether in this life or the previous one, Cedric never considered stopping regarding what happened at Scarlet Villa.

He hadn't even paused to think about throwing her into prison.

And even when he considered using Luna to save Kayla, he hadn't contemplated stopping.

So, what right did he have to ask her to halt?

"If it were her, would you still act this way?"

Natalie was obviously talking about Blair!

The mere mention of Blair seemed to still the air, making it palpably tense. Even across the phone, Natalie sensed the man's breathing become heavier.

"Would you?" The chill in Natalie's voice deepened as she probed.

On the other end of the line, Cedric felt his entire being tighten, the weight of the question pressing down on him.

Would the situations with Isabella or Kayla have unfolded if it had been Blair?

"You wouldn't, right?" Natalie didn't wait for Cedric's response but continued with her biting sarcasm.

The world seemed to collapse around Cedric in this stormy moment.

The two were locked in a standoff, their emotions evident even over the phone.

"Cedric, you're heartless!"

"Nat," Cedric began, attempting to find words. But at that moment, he found himself speechless.

Was he heartless?

In Natalie's eyes, he was beyond that.

"Don't call me again. Your words are meaningless to me," Natalie concluded before ending the call.

In the silence that followed, every inch of Natalie's body felt taut, her back drenched in a cold sweat.

The weight of her question about Blair had clearly unsettled Cedric. His hesitation and breathlessness spoke volumes about the place Blair held in his heart.

On Cedric's end of the phone, a tumult of emotions churned in his eyes.

She... didn't know.
