Cedric was fated to have a complicated destiny because of Wexford!
And his father... was the same.
-
Natalie returned to Hillside Villa for dinner. The lights in the villa had mostly been changed.
After their trip to Evergreen Peak, Lydia and Xyla returned to Hillside Villa to take care of things.
At this moment, Natalie said, "I still like bright lights!"
She spoke the truth!
Lydia and Xyla exchanged glances. "We like it too."
Natalie smiled.
So, that was how it truly felt to see the light. This was why a person needed always to take care of their eyes.
Losing one's sight would truly mean losing one's whole world!
Just then, the phone on the table vibrated. Natalie glanced at the number and saw that it was Irwin.
She answered, "Hello."
"Where are you?"
"Hillside Villa."
"Dylan will come to pick you up."
"Irwin, I told you..."
"Nat, I've said what I had to. I'll only be here for three days."
So, did they have to put on a show for these three days? To let everyone in the Entes family know that they were truly married?
Natalie fell silent, and the suffocating feeling in her chest intensified at his words!
"I think you know what matters more."
Should she know?
Even if she didn't, his constant nagging made it crystal clear.
"Fine!"
Without waiting for the man on the other end of the phone to say anything else, Natalie hung up.
Undoubtedly, she was unwilling to interact with Irwin, let alone see him. However, it seemed that the man wouldn't let her off easily.
After hanging up the phone, it didn't take long for Dylan to arrive in his car.
Natalie couldn't bring herself to show a stern face to Dylan and eventually got into the car.
Natalie remained silent inside the car as she gazed out the window.
Halfway through the journey, Dylan, who was driving, suddenly said, "Don't hate him!"
Natalie was silent.
Upon hearing this, she looked at Dylan with a complicated glint in her eyes. Yet, beneath that complexity, there was an endless coldness.
Dylan could tell that Natalie had a strong reaction whenever these matters were brought up. In fact, he could only imagine what she felt when she discovered the truth behind everything that had happened!
Dylan kept his eyes on the road ahead and continued, "Actually, you're not a shadow to him. You're his solace!"
Solace?
When Dylan said these words, there was a hint of bitterness in his tone. He had personally witnessed how much pain and madness Irwin had experienced because of that person.
Irwin had gone through such madness, and he had also experienced so much pain after he discovered the truth...!
Over the years, Dylan had always wondered if Irwin could make it to the end if Natalie hadn't existed. Or if Irwin met Natalie before Cedric did, then perhaps Cedric wouldn't have had any chance afterward.
When Irwin learned about Natalie's presence, Blair's shadow had always overlapped with her.
Irwin would watch Natalie from afar with a complicated glint in his eyes, but there was also a comforting solace.
At some point, Irwin began to look at her differently, unlike before.
Then, he... stopped!
The schemes, the hysteria, were meant to make Cedric taste the bitterness of losing his beloved...!
However, in the end, those schemes took on a different twist.
Irwin stood by Natalie's side.
