Chapter 361 The Child is Caleb’s? 

Inside the room, smoke filled the air. 

Although Natalie also smoked, she disliked the smell of secondhand smoke. 

The man smoked several cigarettes in a row, and now the whole room was saturated with that scent. It 

made Natalie extremely annoyed. 

His silent demeanor was more tormenting than intense interrogation. 

Finally breaking the silence, Cedric said, “The child can’t be Irwin’s!” 

Natalle stayed silent and raised an eyebrow. 

She knew Cedric was a sensitive and suspicious person. That was why she never considered letting 

Cedric know about Luna from the beginning. 

Once he knew, many complications would follow. 

As Natalie had sorted things out in her mind along the way, she was well aware that explaining or not 

explaining this matter was equally problematic. 

So, she could only say, “I have nothing to say.” 

“If the child is really Irwin’s, then your uncle would have sided with him in Wexford, but he didn’t!” 

Cedric had clearly seen the big rift between Stephen and Irwin. 

Natalie inhaled sharply. The divisions were evident not just in Wexford but even in Simeria. 

“Where is the child now?” Cedric asked. 

“It’s none of your business!” Natalie said. 

“I want a paternity test with the child! 

At these words, Natalie stiffened. She glared at Cedric fiercely. 

She couldn’t hide the fact that she had given birth to a child, and admitting the child’s existence would 

only make him more suspicious. 

In this situation…. 

“She’s in Snow City.” 

As soon as Natalie spoke, Cedric briskly stood up. Apparently, he didn’t want to continue the discussion 

with Natalie 

He preferred to let the results speak for themselves. 

But just as he took a couple of steps, Natalie said, “The child is Caleb’s” 

Cedric was speechless. He turned around with sharp, cold eyes. There was even a hint of danger in them. 

“Caleb’s?” 

“Yes.” 

After much contemplation, Natalie ultimately gave this answer. In her and Cedric’s world, Caleb was a 

somewhat indifferent presence. 

She didn’t want to involve Caleb in this mess, but at this moment, he seemed to be the most convincing. 

candidate. 

Suddenly, Cedric gripped Natalie’s wrist fiercely, and his eyes turned crimson. 

“Say it again!” 

“The child is Caleb’s.” 

“You and him…?” 

Everything was in chaos… It was completely chaotic! 

Cedric was now engulfed by anger, and all rationality was rapidly disappearing. 

She had a child with Caleb? Wasn’t this ironic? 

“Yes, I slept with him!” 

“Since the child is his, why did you…?” 

“It was just an accident!” Natalie said, cutting Cedric off. 

An accident? What kind of accident? 

On the night of a social event, someone set me up. He was drunk. You can look into it if you want,” 

also 

Natalie said calmly. 

Cedric looked at the calmness in her eyes, as if this incident was just a long–forgotten accident. 

And that… It didn’t bother her anymore. 

However, the consequence of it was… a child! 

He gradually loosened his grip. 

In his eyes, there was a hint of scattered despair. 

Her entanglement with Irwin and having a child with Caleb… what kind of chaotic relationship was this? 

When did she become like this? 

“Does he know?” 

Finally, Cedric sat down dejectedly and lit another cigarette. But now, the smoke couldn’t conceal the 

gloom in his heart. 

“He doesn’t know.” 

“He doesn’t?” 

“It was just an accident. With how close he and Irwin are, do you think I could tell him?” 

“What 

“What about Irwin? Does he know about the child’s existence?” 

“He does.” 

Irwin knew? He knew about the child’s existence?! 

Before Cedric could ask anything else, Natalie added, “Irwin thinks the child is yours.” 

His expression changed. Although it was a bit chaotic, this complicated and intertwined situation 

seemed somewhat reasonable. 

The child belonged to Caleb, and Irwin naturally couldn’t know that, or their brotherhood would be 

jeopardized. 

And Irwin thought the child was Cedric’s, which was reasonable! 

“Don’t go for a paternity test. Secrets will never remain secrets forever. Once people find out the child 

isn’t yours… 

Natalie didn’t need to finish her sentence. 

Cedric understood the implication 

Once people discovered that the child wasn’t Cedric’s, considering Natalie’s current status, many people 

“He’s important to you, huh?” Cedric said, referring to Irwin. 

For Irwin’s sake, Natalie kept the child a secret. 

Natalie fell silent, and Cedric interpreted her silence as an affirmation. 

Cedric stood and headed to the door. When he reached out to grasp the handle, Natalie said, “Don’t tell 

anyone, okay?” 

She was asking him to keep it a secret?! 

That indicated the child’s origin was indeed not respectable. 

Bang! 

The sound of the door slamming in response to Natalie echoed through the room. Natalie watched his cold departure, feeling a sense of relief. 

It was funny. 

Cedric was always skeptical when he should trust her and quick to believe when he shouldn’t. 

But that was fine. 

It didn’t matter whether he believed her or not. 

After all, she never intended to have any further entanglements with Cedric. 

Once Cedric left, there was nothing for Natalie to handle in Meridiania, So, she began packing to leave. 

She planned to go to Snow City and spend time with Luna. 

However, she was intercepted by one of Irwin’s people at the airport. 

It was Yves. 

“Sis, Irwin wants to see you.” 

Natalie initially had no intention of meeting Irwin. But considering Cedric was in Meridiania, it would confirm what Cedric suspected if she went to see Irwin now–Irwin’s significance in her world. 

In the end, she nodded. 

An hour later, they arrived at Fountain Peak. 

It was a well–known mountain spring area. It was said that the water here had the best quality in the 

It was quite comfortable. 

There were villas everywhere on the mountain. 

As they passed through the security area, Natalie could feel the strictness and the power of the owner of 

the place. 

The car stopped before a grand castle, and the butler and servants were waiting at the entrance. 

When the car stopped, the butler respectfully approached to open Natalie’s door. 

Natalie got out of the car. 

Standing in front of the brightly lit gate, she couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at everything before her. 

The power Irwin had behind him… 

“Sis, this way.” Yves stood respectfully behind her. Natalie wanted to correct his address, but she knew it 

was futile. 

Finally, she followed Yves inside. 

Having been around Stephen for these years, she had visited numerous places of grandeur and luxury. 

However, seeing everything inside now, Natalie couldn’t help but marvel. 

Irwin was indeed formidable. 

Maple Peak had exceeded her expectations, and now, in Meridiania, he was an even more formidable 

presence.
