Chapter 314 Still Unwilling to Let Go
Natalie’s parents!
Yes, Natalie’s father. In the past, Isabella loved her father deeply because of her mother. Due to this love, she felt entitled to everything her father left behind.
The news brought by Rebecca was too shocking, and it had caught her off guard.
“I thought you would beg me to take you away.” Yuvan’s eyes dimmed as he looked into
Isabella’s eyes, sharp.
Take her away?
his gaz
He had mentioned taking her away before, but she had refused back then.
Yuvan still didn’t know why she declined at that time.
Yuvan assumed Isabella had no one to rely on when Cedric went to prison, so he offered to take her with him.
Little did he know she had someone backing her
Isabella took a deep breath. “Can you help me?”
She didn’t reply to Yuvan’s words but responded with another question instead.
Yuvan nodded. “Yes, I will.”
“Thank you.”
Thank you, huh?
Yuvan’s gaze deepened as he looked at Isabella. After pondering for a moment, he asked, “Is it that you still can’t let go?”
Let go?!
Yes, everyone around her, anyone familiar with her, knew that she lost herself in that revenge.
Now that she wanted to take everything back, it wouldn’t be easy!
“Yuvan, do you think I’m really that selfish when it comes to him?” Isabella asked bitterly.
Yuvan remained silent.
Clearly, those who were once involved in the situation had their own judgments on who was right or wrong.

Seeing how Yuvan didn’t say anything, Isabella felt the bitterness in her soul deepened.
“Help me with this, okay? Thanks.”
After Yuvan left, Lily came in.
“How did it go?”
“How did what go?”
“Did he agree to help you?”
Isabella was silent, but the air around her turned colder. She was clearly suppressing her
emotions when she next spoke.
“Lily.”
“Was it good news?”
“Why are you so devoted to him?”
He was a man who wouldn’t even spare a child. Lily knew just what kind of person he was, yet
she remained so devoted to him?!
In the past two years, Isabella had wanted to escape many times, but her eyes… were her biggest weakness.
“I’m asking the questions here. Did Mr. Sullivan bring you good or bad news?”
Lily didn’t directly answer Isabella’s question. The sharpness in her tone showed that Isabella
had touched a nerve.
“Don’t worry, it’s good news!”
At this point, Isabella was certain that Lily was as stubborn as a mule and as unmovable as a
mountain.
As Isabella expected, Lily relaxed when she heard her words.
After Lily left, Isabella reflected on the events of these years with a heavy heart.
To Isabella, Yuvan was someone she could trust.
She believed he would bring her the most genuine results if he investigated. However, nob*dy
knew how anxious she felt now.
What if the so–called truth overturned everything she knew before?
At that time..!
+25 BONUS
It would be one thing if it were anyone else, but this was her mother.
It was her mother, who Isabella had always considered to be a great woman–a woman who was gentle and always smiling.
At Hillside Villa, it was dinner time.
Natalie glanced at Cedric across the table, who had his brows furrowed. He looked at the dishes. on the table and said, “Your health isn’t good now. Can you handle such spicy food?”
“It’s for you.”
Cedric was stunned. He looked at Natalie across the table, his expression becoming somewhat stiff.
For him…?
In this life, he never ate spicy food.
In his previous life, he occasionally enjoyed some spicy dishes, but it wasn’t a regular
occurrence.
Was she…?
Looking at her calmly drinking her soup, Cedric felt his heart pound wildly in his chest.
“Nat.”
He wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words when he noticed the people standing nearby.
“‘You don’t like it?”
“That’s not it!”
It wasn’t that he didn’t like it. His preferences in this life were completely different.
How did she know he liked spicy food?
Moreover, although he could handle spiciness, be had specific preferences. He wouldn’t eat just any kind of spicy dish. The fried, spicy food on his plate was something he did like, but he
wouldn’t eat it all the time.
“Then it’s fine, right? You’re a guest at Hillside Villa. I can’t let a guest go hungry, can I?”
Natalie emphasized the word ‘guest‘ so heavily that Cedric’s expression froze.
He didn’t say anything. However, when he lowered his head to eat, a surge of emotions mashed through his eyes.
+25 BONUS
Nat… If Nat really was…?
Really was what?
At this moment, Cedric dared not continue his line of thought.
If she was the same as him and had come from his previous life, what would it mean for both of them?
The phone buzzed, interrupting Cedric’s thoughits. Seeing the number, he noted it was Lucas.
He answered. “Hello.”
“Mr. Johnson, the madam is here.”
Madam?!
Natalie heard Lucas‘ words.
Rebecca…!
Cedric frowned and subconsciously looked in Natalie’s direction, only to see her calmly eating.
It seemed like she was completely unaffected. He got up and walked to the side to answer the phone.
Lydia approached and muttered, “Miss.”
“What is it?”
“Madam Heather just called, saying there’s no need to make everything too good for him.”
Upon hearing this, Natalie chuckled. She couldn’t help but admit that Heather was still quite
cute at times.
Rebecca had arrived.
Simeria was already in a state of chaos, and Natalle had no idea what would happen next. Rebecca was capable of causing significant disturbances, and more importantly, she held immense influence in Natalie’s view.
Of course, Natalie didn’t need to worry about anything now. Although Stephen’s attitude was unclear, he knew Natalie had completely cut ties with the Johnson family two years ago.
Cedric returned after answering the phone. He glanced at Natalie with a furrowed brow.
Natalie said, “Is she asking you to stay away from me?”
“I think you should listen to her. After all… she’s your mother!” Natalie’s last words carried a
hint of sarcasm.
+25 BONUS
Cedric’s frown deepened, and his eyes turned colder. Undoubtedly, he couldn’t explain much about the situation with Rebecca. He was aware that he had handled Natalie and Rebecca poorly during his marriage, and he had no words to refute Natalie.
Handling women who held grudges was truly a headache.
After dinner Lydia brought Natalie a cup of fruit tea, as Heather had instructed.
Cedric sighed as he watched. Natalie’s life was now quite exquisite, and the people from the Jarvis family took good care of her.
Then, Irwin called.
Natalie answered. “Irv.”
Her tone was incredibly gentle, and Cedric’s face darkened instantly. Sensing the change in atmosphere, Natalie glanced at the man, then continued speaking sweetly into the phone.
“Don’t worry, I’m not a child.”
Η
“Are you coming over? There’s no need. I can handle it myself. Don’t worry!”
Irwin was coming over?!
The air around Cedric became colder, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes.
