How could Heather forgive Cedric when her daughter was hurt like this?! She even wished Cedric would disappear!
It seemed like Natalie could only find peace once he was gone...!
Since Natalie returned to their side all these years, all Heather saw was Natalie trying to break free from Cedric...!
But what about him?
While he was devoted to Isabella, he kept pestering Natalie, even disturbing her peace at times.
No mother could stand by and watch that.
Heather was genuinely furious!
However, there was nothing she could do about Cedric's behavior.
-
In the backyard, Cedric watched the lively figure of his daughter catching butterflies in the distance.
His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, but his heart... was constantly in turmoil.
Luna looked so happy here, clearly enjoying herself. The Jarvis family truly cherished her like a treasure!
She looked very small, probably due to being born prematurely.
"Lara, I caught one!" Luna caught a butterfly and ran happily to a servant.
Lara smiled, "You're getting faster, Miss Luna. You even managed to catch a butterfly."
"I'm great, right?"
"Yes, very great."
The praised little girl smiled even brighter.
"Lara."
"Yes, Miss?"
"I want watermelon."
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Luna was truly adored here. They granted almost every request of hers, but Heather often felt helpless because of the girl's fragile health. She couldn't have too many cold things but loved ice cream.
Luna released the butterfly. She loved playing with them but never wanted to hurt them.
When the watermelon she wanted arrived, it wasn't Lara who approached her with it.
When Luna saw Cedric, a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes, and she instinctively looked for people around her.
But there was no one else in the place.
So, her gaze towards Cedric became more guarded.
Cedric's heart ached when he saw how cautious his daughter was around him.
"Do you want some watermelon?"
Cedric looked at his wary daughter and forced a smile on his face.
However, Luna shook her head.
She didn't speak or allow him to come near at all.
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
He wanted to tell her he was her father!
But the words stuck in his throat.
Did he have the right?
Yes!
At this moment, Cedric was clear and acknowledged this fact.
He... had no right.
As Natalie repeatedly told him, he had no right.
However, even after saying that, Luna still looked at him suspiciously. She even backed away when he approached.
"Don't move. I won't come closer," Cedric said helplessly as he watched Luna's guarded demeanor.
Finally, he placed the watermelon plate on the stone table and took several steps back.
