Chapter 374 More Protection
Cedric felt as if even his blood had turned to ice at Natalie’s words.
For a long, long time, he couldn’t come back to his senses…
When Kyle arrived, Natalie had already left.
Looking at Cedric’s troubled expression, he called out, “My lord?”
Cedric regained a bit of composure, but his whole b*dy continued to shiver involuntarily.
At the moment he spoke, there was an unnoticeable heaviness and pain in his voice. “Tell me, what else
can I do now other than forcing her?”
Yes, what else could he do?
She could smile at everyone in the world, but only cast a cold gaze at him. Even sharing a room with her
had become a luxury.
It seemed that, aside from forcefully keeping her by his side, he had no other choice!
Cedric had never felt so powerless in his life.
But now, regarding Natalie, he… truly had no solution.
He loved her, yet he hurt her!
But he couldn’t let her go… even if he wished to be together, he could only use pain to keep her at his side.
Natalie’s head was throbbing.
Cedric and Caleb were originally two individuals with no connection, but now… they were tearing each
other apart.
The ferocity of the situation had reached Verde City and even resonated in Simeria despite the distance.
Stephen looked at Natalie. “Why would he inexplicably target Premier Garden International?”
Clearly, Stephen also sensed that something was off.
During this period, if there were anyone in the best mood, it would be Stephen and Heather. There was a
happy event in the family, and Natalie was initially delighted.
But now, with Bianca’s situation beyond her control and Cedric causing trouble like this, Natalie felt like
she was going crazy.
“Ugh! It’s all my
fault!” Natalie looked at Stephen with a sense of grievanc
As soon as Stephen heard that the matter was related to Natalie, he stiffened.
“What happened?”
Stephen knew that Caleb and Irwin always had a good relationship. Still, based on the circumstances between her and Cedric, there shouldn’t be a reason for Caleb to get involved.
So why was this happening now?
Natalie explained the situation in detail to Stephen. The more Stephen listened, the more rigid his
expression became.
What a mess this was…!
“Uncle… I mean, Dad. This is actually my fault. I just didn’t think it through!” Natalie sighed. At this point,
she didn’t know what to say.
She hadn’t expected things to turn out like this.
A deep shadow appeared in Stephen’s eyes. After hearing the whole story, he felt a headache coming on. After all, from a man’s perspective, he knew exactly what men cared about.
It was no wonder Natalie had brought Luna back to Simeria so calmly, and such a significant change had occurred in her relationship with Cedric.
In Cedric’s perception, the child was Caleb’s. And now, seeing Cedric’s desperate desire to harm Caleb, it
was evident that his hatred had escalated!
Even though Caleb wasn’t a good man, he and Cedric were now in a full–blown conflict.
But it all originated from Natalie.
“It seems that without explaining this matter clearly, Cedric won’t let it go,” Stephen said solemnly..
Explain?
How could they explain this matter?!
Just now, when Natalie realized the gravity of the situation, she knew that besides making Cedric aware
that the child wasn’t Caleb’s, there was no other solution…!
Thinking about the conditions Cedric proposed at Peach Garden that day made Natalie feel a sumany
sensation in her chest.
“So, what do you plan to do?” Stephen looked at Natalie and asked,
“…” Natalie was at a loss.
What should she do?
This situation happened so suddenly that Stephen’s question had genuinely caught her off guard…!!
Telling Cedric the child’s true identity was not something she wanted to do, and remarrying him was also
out of the question!
But with the situation getting so serious, she had to resolve this as soon as possible!
After all, Caleb was innocent…!
“I’ll think of something.” Natalie said after thinking for a moment.
The glint in Stephen’s eyes intensified. Looking into Natalie’s eyes, his gaze also became more profound.
“Nat.”
“Yeah?”
“The feelings between you two… no one can help you with that!”
In matters of the heart, it had always been something to be handled personally.
Natalie was well aware of this.

Natalie was truly fed up with the situation!
She had longed for Luna to return to Simeria. As long as Luna was in Simeria, she could spend time with
her child without worry
However, who would have thought…!
It was one troublesome matter after another.
She hadn’t spent much time in Regal Horizons International, and now she couldn’t be with Luna as much
as she wanted!
And all of this was caused by Cedric
“I know.” Natalie nodded.
She tried hard to conceal the inner turmoil.
Natalie’s complexion improved when she exited the room and saw Heather holding Luna in her arms.
It had been two years!
After learning the truth, the past two years had been an ongoing struggle for them, and now things were
better.
Heather had found her long–lost son and had her granddaughter by her side.
Life couldn’t get any better for her.
“Mama! Mama!” Luna reached out to be held when she saw Natalie.
Natalie’s heart was filled with mixed emotions when she looked at Luna right now.
“Mom,” Natalie said, looking at Heather.
“Are you going out?”
“Yeah.”
“I haven’t seen you go to the office recently. What have you been busy with?‘ Heather had also rarely seen
Natalie around the house lately.
Natalie was often out.
Natalie took Luna into her arms and said, “I naturally have my own matters to attend to.”
“Alright, I got it. You don’t need me to worry about you!”
In Heather’s opinion, Natalie was the most reassuring person. She managed Regal Horizons International alone and was so sensible. The more she excelled, the more Heather felt a pang of heartache.
However, this concern..
It was something Heather ultimately had no time to manage because she was busy taking care of Luna.
“By the way, there’s something you should know.”
“What?”
“Has your dad told you? We’re planning a banquet to announce your identities.”
Natalie was silent. She stiffened slightly at Heather’s words, but soon an understanding glint flashed in
her eyes
“Has Clyde agreed?”
On Natalie’s end, she didn’t mind. Over the past two years, many people have speculated about her identity, especially since Heather favored her so much.
Now, announcing it was fine!
She had no reservations, but she didn’t know what Clyde thought.
When Natalie mentioned Clyde, a touch of sadness crossed Heather’s face.
“We didn’t tell you the truth or announce it publicly before this because we wanted to protect you.”
“I understand, Mom,” Natalie said.
“It’s good that you understand,” Heather replied as she placed a hand on Natalie’s arm.
Now that Clyde had returned, they had seen his achievements at Wexford. In such an environment, they
could tell… that he was a formidable presence.
