Natalie felt her heart leap into her throat, thinking she was about to tumble. Then, a sudden force gripped her waist, and a familiar touch enveloped her.
The moment she steadied herself, she pushed him away without even needing to think...
Obviously, it was Cedric!
He was the man she least wanted to encounter.
"Waaah! Waaah!" Luna cried out from a short distance away.
Upon hearing her child's cries, Natalie's initial cold demeanor melted away, and she seemed disoriented.
"Luna, it's okay!" Rushing to her daughter, Natalie enveloped her in a comforting embrace.
"Mommy, I'm scared!"
"Don't be afraid. Mommy's here."
"There's a bad guy... A bad guy!"
Luna's fear stemmed from seeing Cedric. Observing the mother and daughter embrace from a distance, especially hearing the child's description of him, filled Cedric with a bitter taste.
A bad guy—that was how he was remembered in Luna's eyes.
Yes, that was the memory he left behind for her.
"Yes, he's a bad man. Don't be afraid. Mommy's here,"
With Natalie around, no one would hurt Luna!
She was determined to protect her daughter from anyone who wanted to harm her!
Cedric watched them from a distance, feeling as if his heart was being ruthlessly torn. He felt suffocated by the pain.
When they heard the commotion, Agnes and the servants rushed over. Their hearts pounded fast upon seeing Cedric.
