A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 705

What kind of presence is Bianca in Natalie's world?

Only those who have truly experienced Natalie's past know.

For example, Cedric!

Even though Cedric and Natalie got into heated arguments back then, and he never liked strong and stubborn women like Bianca... he understood Bianca's role in Natalie's life.

He would also be aware that no matter how chaotic Simeria became, it would be impossible to stop Natalie from going to see Bianca if the latter asked for her.

Previously, Natalie managed to navigate around Malcolm to save Bianca from Malcolm's clutches.

But what about now?

Despite Irwin's concerns, he ultimately took Natalie to Verdant Villa.

As they were about to exit the car, Irwin firmly grasped her wrist.

"What is it now?" Natalie's displeasure with Irwin's attitude grew. He didn't want her to come, and now that she was here, what was he trying to do?

"Don't agree to anything she says," Irwin said.

"Compared to her, I think I need to be more cautious of you!" Natalie's words carried a heavy weight, leaving Irwin feeling suffocated.

Staring into Natalie's icy eyes, Irwin felt a pang of hurt. Natalie shook him off and stepped out of the car, limping towards the villa.

Irwin's expression darkened, and there was a wounded glint in his eyes under the dim night.

Even Dylan could sense Irwin's change.

"Sir..." Dylan addressed Irwin tentatively.

He, too, understood Natalie's current disposition from her attitude.

And if Irwin wanted Natalie to change...

It was impossible.

Irwin asked, "What do you think he would have done if he were in my place?"

Obviously, Irwin was referring to Cedric!

Dylan fell silent.

Bringing up Cedric inevitably led to memories of how unbearable Cedric's presence was to Natalie. Her demeanor towards Cedric might be even worse than it was towards Irwin now.

Natalie's icy demeanor whenever Cedric was mentioned sent chills down one's spine.

"Give her some time," Dylan replied cautiously.

In Dylan's opinion, Natalie had faced too many upheavals in her life. Also, she had just recovered her vision. It had also been only a short time since she had discovered the truth about Blair.

So, if anyone expected her to change her attitude at this time, it was simply impossible.

Irwin sighed. "Some wounds may heal with time, but others... can they truly heal?"

Could they truly heal?

The most common advice given to those wounded was that time healed all wounds.

But could Natalie's wounds truly heal?

The revelation about Blair felt like someone reaching into Natalie's chest to crush her heart.

It wasn't a wound that could be healed... What was there to heal when it felt as if her heart had been crushed outright?!

She had spent ten years with Cedric. Except for the final three years that Irwin had destroyed with his schemes, the preceding seven years undoubtedly held the most beautiful memories between them.

However, those seven years of beauty were also shattered when Blair emerged.

In such circumstances, could she really get better with just time, as Dylan suggests?

Could she truly recover?

Undoubtedly, this question lingered in Irwin's mind.

"He wouldn't leave without a reason," Irwin said meaningfully after a pause.

Cedric saw too clearly. It wasn't just despair over Natalie's attitude. It was more about seeing too clearly. He knew Natalie wouldn't forgive him because of it, and he understood that seeing him only caused more pain for her.

That was why Cedric had handed her... over to Irwin!

"In fact, the people who stay by her side are the ones truly seeking redemption, isn't it?" Irwin said bitterly.

Dylan frowned. Undoubtedly, Cedric was currently suffering in the darkness. But Irwin, who stayed by Natalie's side, seemed to be facing retribution for everything that happened in the past,
