Natalie was led out of the tower in a daze by Irwin!
In the car, she keenly felt the coldness and danger emanating from the man.
Dylan was driving. At this moment, if Irwin had been driving, they would probably be speeding past the other cars like the wind!
Dylan could also sense the ominous atmosphere surrounding Irwin.
After a long silence, Irwin finally spoke, "Why him?"
Natalie raised an eyebrow.
In a cold voice, she replied, "Why not?"
"Natalie!" The man's tone grew sterner.
Such a gloomy atmosphere caused even Dylan, who was driving ahead, to flinch. Everyone could feel the car slightly veering off course.
Natalie looked at Irwin. "Did you really take our marriage seriously?"
Her words held a hint of sarcasm.
Irwin fell silent. Upon hearing Natalie's words, his already somber expression darkened even more.
Natalie continued, "You really took it seriously, huh?"
Her tone was even more mocking.
Her words implied that she had never taken their marriage seriously from the beginning.
In the cramped space, the already icy atmosphere became even colder due to Natalie's response.
The sound of a match being struck, followed by the flames igniting, filled the air.
The man lit a cigarette and took several deep drags, filling the previously clear air with thick smoke.
With the window partially down, cold air rushed in, momentarily diluting the smell.
Neither of them spoke.
Undoubtedly, the topic at hand was heavy for them. Whenever this topic arose, Irwin was always enraged.
When Caleb opened the door in his robe, no one knew what kind of impact the scene had on Irwin's heart.
All rational thought escaped his mind at that time.
As they neared Maple Peak, Irwin finally spoke in a restrained tone, "Natalie, how much longer?"
He had enough of this...!
Natalie retorted, "What? It's just the beginning, and you can't handle it already?"
What were their feelings when they imposed all that on her back then?
Irwin thought he was retaliating against Cedric, and that it was a way to scheme against him. Yet, Natalie was the one who endured all the pain.
Did he ever consider letting her off?
No!
Obviously not. No matter what pain Natalie was enduring then, Irwin never stopped.
"When Cedric personally sent me to prison, didn't you think that was enough?"
Irwin fell silent.
Too much... it was all too much!
The grievances piled onto Natalie were too numerous.
What was accumulated resentment? It was those countless injuries that piled up. It wasn't just one or two matters that happened in just a few days. It was countless things that exceeded human endurance, stacking up one by one.
"So, will you keep doing this?" The man looked at Natalie with an imposing and dangerous gaze.
Natalie raised her eyebrows as she looked at Irwin, noticing the hidden resentment in his eyes.
She smirked and said, "What? Is this all it takes for you to want to kill me?"
Indeed, Irwin now truly seemed to want to harm Natalie. In fact, when she had given him that eerie smile earlier, he knew that things wouldn't be simple upon returning to Simeria.
He had no idea what awaited him.
Back then, Irwin probably never imagined facing such a situation.
"Why does it have to be Caleb out of so many people?" Irwin roared with restrained anger.
"Because I like him? Caleb is a good man," Natalie replied.
