As the final days approached, it became increasingly agonizing for Irwin.
Natalie could almost feel how suffocated Irwin was. It was a testament to the torment he endured.
Yet, in the face of Irwin's torment, Natalie remained silent.
"Do you feel anything?" Irwin's emotions were barely concealed in his words.
"No," Natalie replied, her response unchanged.
It was unclear how many times Irwin had asked this question during this time, just as Natalie didn't know how many times she had replied with the same answer.
As she finished speaking, Natalie keenly sensed the urgency emanating from the man.
Such urgency was unlike any other time...!
It was as if he's enduring something...!
They were too complicated!
Natalie naturally didn't know why Irwin was feeling this way.
After breakfast, Irwin made a phone call from his study. It was an hour-long conversation whose recipient remained unknown.
When he emerged, the gravity in his demeanor was obvious.
"I'm taking you somewhere," Irwin said after taking a deep breath.
"Where to?" Natalie's response was calm compared to the depth in Irwin's tone.
"The city hall," Irwin replied.
Natalie fell silent.
Lydia and Xyla exchanged nervous glances before turning their attention back to Natalie. She sat in her wheelchair, and her hands unconsciously clenched.
In the end, she chuckled.
Her laughter dripped with irony.
"I know you're worried about me using your father. Don't worry, I won't use anyone this time," Irwin assured.
"Is that so?" Natalie's question dripped with sarcasm, amplifying the discomfort already festering within Irwin.
Doubt.
Yes, that's what it was—the unmistakable aura of doubt.
Natalie exuded an aura of distrust towards both him and Cedric, which was evident in her tone and demeanor.
Perhaps Cedric also saw it.
Even though he forcefully stayed by her side, all he received was this bitter taste.
And they... had brought this upon themselves!
They deserved it!
In the car, Natalie offered no resistance. She was cold—dangerously so!
"Are you really going to marry me?" Natalie asked calmly.
Yet beneath her calm demeanor, a storm brewed. It was evident to anyone listening.
"Of course," Irwin replied firmly, his words resolute.
Natalie fell silent for a moment. Just when Irwin thought she wouldn't say anything more, Natalie spoke again.
"Hopefully, you won't regret it."
Irwin paused, sensing the tumultuous emotions swirling within her at those words. However, he didn't deserve the concept of 'regret' in his world, especially when it came to Natalie.
Initially, Irwin thought it would take some effort to persuade Natalie to marry him. He hadn't expected her to offer no resistance at all.
Inside the city hall, numerous couples preparing for marriage glanced at Irwin and Natalie. They were captivated by Irwin's striking appearance.
Yet when they saw Natalie with her empty eyes as she sat in her wheelchair, they cast envious glances her way.
