Cedric figured it out.
She... was deliberately provoking him!
Knowing he had a bad temper, she wanted to provoke him so that he would leave.
She... didn't want to see him!
She couldn't stand even feeling his presence!
"No matter what you say, I won't leave," Cedric declared.
Natalie fell silent.
He figured it out?!
"After all, it's been so many years," Cedric said.
Regardless of the nature of their relationship, they had a certain level of understanding between them, right?
They had been together for a decade!
Regardless of how they started, Cedric thoroughly understood what he should know about her.
Natalie remained silent.
Lunch passed in such a tense atmosphere.
Although Natalie used to love Yuloria dishes, they tasted bland with Cedric around.
She had said too much, hadn't she?
That was why Natalie didn't talk to Cedric after that. She didn't answer any of his questions.
She completely ignored him!
Cedric bought her the best-known snacks from Yuloria, saying that whenever one came to Yuloria, they must try them.
However, Natalie didn't take a bite.
"Nat." Cedric looked at her and felt even worse than before.
He knew!
The incidents between him and Natalie were already irreparable. Now, after she found out about Blair, she... probably wouldn't open up her heart to him for a while.
"If you can't maintain a cheerful mood, your eyes won't be able to recover fast. If that happened, you won't be able to get rid of me as soon as possible. You'd better think about it," Cedric warned.
Natalie was silent.
Indeed.
After Natalie went to Wexford, she realized Cedric had spent all those years in Verde City to escape that place.
Yet, after so many years, he still had to go back to face it!
Now...!
"Is that so?" Natalie mocked.
"Yes!"
He answered in a more resolute manner than before!
However, Natalie knew better.
It wasn't possible.
For Cedric, Wexford represented the abyss of utter despair. It was a depth from which escape seemed impossible.
Whether it was him or Irwin, it was a whirlpool filled with moments of helplessness.
If that wasn't the case, the matter about Blair wouldn't have been suppressed to this extent, and he wouldn't have to face Wexford again after so many years!
