Chapter 363 What Grudge Do You Have with Stephen. 

Rough fingertips gently traced her delicate face, and the man’s tone was cold and dangerous. 

“Are you still insisting that the child isn’t mine?” 

Natalie was silent. 

What did he mean? 

She looked at Cedric with narrowed eyes. The man chuckled lightly before retaliating with a bruising k*ss. 

It felt as if he was trying to devour her. 

“The child was never yours,” Natalie said as she turned her head to avoid the man’s k*ss. 

But the next moment, the man firmly held her small face. 

The k*ss was intrusive, domineering, and overbearing. 

Natalie struggled with all her might. 

But she was petite. 

She didn’t have the power to resist him! 

Just when Natalie felt like she was about to suffocate, Cedric finally let her go. 

“You went to see Irwin before leaving Meridiania, didn’t you?” 

Natalie didn’t answer. 

Since she was unable to break free, she stopped struggling and chose to ignore him. 

“I told you, Irwin is not a good person!” Cedric said. 

“And? Are you saying you’re a good person now?” Natalie sarcastically retorted. 

Cedric was silent. 

Her tone sounded as if she saw through everything, making the man on top of her pause momentarily. 

Then he looked at her, the glint in his eyes intensifying. 

After a while, Cedric rolled off and sat beside Natalie. 

Natalie got up and straightened her slightly disheveled clothes. 

“Cedric, do you dare to say that when you approached me back then, it wasn’t with ulterior motives?”

“What do you mean?” 

“You already knew about the relationship between me and my uncle, didn’t you?” 

Yes! 

In Natalie’s opinion, Cedric not only knew her relationship with Stephen, but he must have also had 

unknown grievances with Stephen! 

This man was too complex. It was to the point where no one could understand him. 

Inwin wasn’t a good person, and Cedric was no different! 

“I really didn’t know!” Cedric said. 

He was telling the truth! 

However, so much had happened around Natalie, and things were still chaotic. It was only natural that 

she wouldn’t believe him. 

“Hah!” Natalie sneered. 

Cedric frowned as he looked at her. 

When he saw the disbelief in her expression… his heart ached! 

Taking a deep breath, he said, “I know how messy everything is right now, and that’s also why you weren’t 

told many things back then.” 

This man was quite good at finding excuses, huh? 

“Do you really have no grudge with my uncle?” she asked, arching her eyebrows at the man. 

When she saw a flash of tension in his eyes, Natalie… smiled! 

It was a sarcastic smile! 

She wouldn’t have doubted anything if it weren’t for their trip to Wexford this time. But in Wexford, even. though she didn’t participate in the chaos, she knew that those involved in the turmoil had long–standing 

grievances. 

Whether you believe it or not, I didn’t know about your relationship with Mr. Jarvis when I first 

Approached you 

Natalie remained silent. 

He didn’t know, huh? 

Actually, she wouldn’t believe anything Cedric said now. 

“Nat, your current life doesn’t suit you!” Cedric thought for a moment and said it after all. 

Yes, it doesn’t suit her! 

“Heh, in your mind, I should just be simple, weak, and let you mold and twet me, right?” 

Hah, didn’t suit her? 

So, was he saying that her former life suited her instead?! 

Cedric rubbed his aching forehead! 

Now, this was the way he and Natalie interacted… 

“Don’t play any tricks anymore, Cedric. Just remember one thing–we have nothing to do with each other!” 

After saying that, she stood up. 

But just as she took a few steps, she heard the man behind her say, “Have Julian stop.” 

At his words, she frozel 

She turned to look at Cedric. 

At that moment, she felt that this man was so frightening. 

Once… when she found out Irwin wasn’t as simple as he portrayed himself to be, she was on guard against Irwin, thinking he was a terrifying person. 

However, no matter how terrifying Irwin was, he couldn’t compare to how terrifying Cedric was. 

He actually…! 

“Nat, you’re very smart but too anxious!” Cedric said as he stared at her intensely while taking a drag of his cigarette. Then he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray. 

Natalie watched Cedric with tightly pursed l*ps 

Yes, she was too anxious. 

When she found out that Cedric had taken a sample of Luna’s blood for testing, she lost her rationality… 

All her consciousness was focused on preventing Cedric from knowing about Luna…! 

However, she didn’t expect this man to watch everyone around her and prevent her from acting this way. 

He was too terrifying! 

“You know, when I saw Julian take action, I thought… there was no need for the test, right?” 

Why would Natalie tamper with the results? 

It was because she was afraid he would find out the child was his! 

This petite woman was such a trickster! 

Natalie stood rooted in the spot. Even though she was strong… her heart was churning incessantly, and 

she couldn’t help but pale at his words. 

In the end, it seemed like this man had seen through all her strength and calmness! 

“The child is not yours!! 

The moment she uttered these words, it felt hopeless. 

“It’s okay. After the paternity test report comes out, we can discuss this matter again.” 

Compared to Natalie, the man’s eyes remained calm. 

Natalie stared at him like a wild beast staring at a hunter, wanting to tear him apart! 

In the end, Natalie didn’t know how she left the hotel or how she returned to her residence in Snow City. 

Heather was still waiting for her. 

“How did it go?” Heather asked. 

Seeing Natalie’s unpleasant complexion, Heather was worried. 

Natalie looked at Heather and said, “Aunt!” 

At the moment she spoke, her l*ps were stiff. 

It seemed as if even her hearing was lost, and she couldn’t hear her own trembling voice. 

Heather’s heart rose to her throat. “What happened? Did he find out everything?!” 

No, that wasn’t possible. 

+15 BONUS 

It had only been a few hours since Cedric had taken the sample. He couldn’t have found out so quickly. 

Something was not adding up 

“His people are now monitoring everyone around me. 

What did that mean? 

“I can’t even…!” When she got to this point, Natalie trembled and couldn’t continue. 

It had been like this for the past few years. 

Whenever it involved Luna, Natalie would always lose her sanity. 

Even when she was far away in Simeria, as long as she heard the news of Luna falling ill in Snow City, she 

would rush over like a mad woman. 

Cedric’s analysis was correct. 

Natalie loved Luna too much, and she loved her deeply. Despite hating Cedric and wishing him dead, when it came to her own child, she would protect them to the core. 

He said…! 

She wouldn’t have a child for him, but she would definitely have her own child!
