Chapter 308 The Explanation He Wants.
Cedric stood at the office door, his gaze fixed on the scene inside. His eyes were narrowed, and anger burned throughout his b*dy.
His ch*st heaved continuously as he hissed through gritted teeth, “Natalie!”
At the sound of her name, Natalie snapped back to reality, instinctively distancing herself
from Irwin.
Irwin turned to look at Cedric with a fleeting hint of provocation in his deep gaze.
Cedric’s already enraged eyes now glowed a burning crimson.
“Irv, you should go back for now,” Natalie said as she stood up. She could already feel a headache coming on.
Didn’t Cedric go to Isabella?
Wait… why did she suddenly feel like she had done something wrong?
Damn it!
Irwin didn’t make things difficult for Natalie. He stood up and glanced at her before touching
her soft hair.
In a doting tone, he said, “I’ll consider your request from earlier. Think about what you can
offer me in return.”
Natalie’s ch*st tightened.
Irwin wanted something in return, and… they both knew exactly what he wanted.
Before Natalie could respond, Cedric had already entered her office and forcefully pushed Irwin’s hand away from her head.
“Her only request to you is to get lost!”
“Cedric!”
Natalie’s tone was solemn. At this moment, not only did her head ache, but she also felt an overwhelming urge to tear Cedric apart!
What on earth was this damn man saying?!
Her ch*st heaved continuously in anger.
The scene at this moment was unprecedentedly chaotic.
Irwin was usually a serious man, and he was now looking at Cedric with a mocking expression.
“The person she most wants to get lost is you!”
Cedric and Natalie were speechless.
This was the first time they had seen Irwin fighting back against someone so bluntly. After dropping a bombshell, he left, leaving Natalie to clean up the mess on her own.
Now, only Natalie and Cedric were left in her office. Natalie lit a cigarette and started smoking.
She looked at Cedric with an unreadable expression on her face.
Cedric was already irritated, and he became even more furious at her silence.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
“Do I need to explain myself to you?”
Natalie’s tone was icy, and it caused Cedric to t
up further.
This damn woman!
Their eyes met, and they stared intensely at each other.
Cedric was angry, and Natalie was indifferent.
When did she start being so fearless in such matters?!
Undoubtedly, Cedric… couldn’t react!
In his previous life, he had never divorced Natalie. His mind was stuck in that time, so…
Did what he just witnessed count as Natalie cheating?
“Natalie, you weren’t like this before!”
Right after he said those words, the temperature dropped several degrees.
Natalie’s gaze towards him grew even colder at his words.
He had said similar things to her before.
Back then, how had she responded?
“Do you remember what I was like before? I could say the same of you! You weren’t like this before!”
Cedric was silent. At her words, he stiffened.
They stared at each other, and a myriad of emotions flashed through his eyes.
He couldn’t stop his hands from trembling as he grabbed Natalie’s collar.
Sheat
“Nat? You…”
She what?
What was he trying to say?
It was already absurd that he could come to this world, but he was also somewhat grateful for
the chance.
But… was Natalie the same?!
Cedric looked at Natalie, trying hard to find something in her eyes.
However, he found nothing.
Her eyes were like the vast expanse of stars and seas. It was so deep that he couldn’t discern anything.
Natalie gripped his wrist, feeling the strong and powerful pulse. Slowly, she pulled his hand down, and Cedric let her go.
The scrutiny in his eyes grew more intense.
Was it really her?
Since coming here, since seeing her again… he felt that everything about her was different.
Everything had changed..
She was no longer the Natalie from his previous life. But if she were the same as him, that would explain the changes in her.
He hoped she was the same woman from his previous life.
But at the same time, he didn’t want that.
Because if this Natalie was from his previous life
Then, the conflicts and gaps between them would be deeper and harder to bridge.”
“Nat.”
“What?”
“Do you think… people can come back to life after death?”
When he asked this question, Cedric looked into Natalie’s eyes.
However, he was disappointed once again.
Natalie’s answer was nonchalant and indifferent
“I think you’re still dreaming!”
Come back to life?
No! He believed that people could come back to life because of his rebirth.
In her eyes, Cedric saw only disappointment and nothing more.
Even so, he didn’t give up.
After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the heaviness in his chest.
He wouldn’t repeat this question.
Instead, he asked, “What did you and Irwin talk about just now?”
He deliberately avoided thinking about the scene between Natalie and Irwin and only focused on what Irwin said to her before leaving.
Irwin had said he would consider it.
But what would he consider?
Bianca’s situation?
But what did he want in return? It was easy to guess!
A cold glint flashed in Cedric’s eyes.
Cedric was sharp as always, and he quickly figured out the reasons in a short time.
Irwin…!
“It has nothing to do with you!” Natalie replied.
That was right. It truly had nothing to do with Cedric!.
Previously, Natalie had only agreed to interact with Cedric because he had information about Bianca.
And now, it would end also because of Bianca!
Irwin had brought news about Bianca, so Natalie wouldn’t need to put up with Cedric anymore.
When he heard her cold response, Cedric said, “Don’t agree with him. He only has impure Intentions toward you!”
“Hahl
Impure intentions?
Natalie sneered and said, “Do you remember the storm when we drove to Peach Garden last
“What do you mean?”
When Natalie suddenly brought up the incident when she drove during the storm, it caused Cedric to stiffen subconsciously.
Natalie continued, “That day, it wasn’t that we were lucky to escape unharmed. It was
because…”
“Because what?”
When Natalie brought up the storm that day and Irwin, it made Cedric’s heart race, and a thick. sense of unease overwhelmed him.
Natalie was looking at him with an unprecedented calmness, yet Cedric could feel the mockery in her silence.
Natalie continued, “It was because Irwin’s people were driving in front of me. They turned on the hazard lights and guided us all the way to the Peach Garden intersection.
They had avoided heavy traffic and stayed in front of her, allowing her to see clearly and maintaining a speed she could keep up with.
Cedric was silent.
At this moment, it felt like his world had collapsed on him. Even his heart felt like it had been
crushed!
Undoubtedly, in Natalie’s heart, Irwin was the one who always protected her thoroughly. Meanwhile, Cedric… had pushed her time and time again into dangerous situations!
