Chapter 378 No Right for an Explanation
“Is the situation between you and him really as serious as the rumors say?” Natalie asked Caleb.
Natalie had witnessed what kind of existence Premier Garden Corporation was in Verde City when she
was there.
However, Cedric managed to intervene and disrupt that.
“It’s not as serious as the rumors say, but I need to find out the reasons behind this,” the man sitting across from her replied, his expression darkening slightly.
He couldn’t recall offending Cedric, but the latter was now coming at him with such intensity, almost as if
he wanted his life.
Caleb could sense that something complicated was happening.
When he mentioned finding out the reason, Caleb noticed a distinct change in her expression.
He asked, “Do you know the reason for this?”
“Yes, I do.”
Caleb stayed silent and stared at Natalie.
Looking at the sharp and hawk–like eyes of the man, Natalie didn’t know how to continue.
Cedric was such a wicked man!
Why wouldn’t he just die?
Now, Natalie wished Cedric were dead so that she could spend quality time with her daughter.
Instead, she was stuck cleaning the mess this damn man had left behind!
In Peach Garden, the doctor removed the needle from Kayla’s arm. The fever had subsided, but the child
still seemed a bit drowsy.
Mommy… Mommy…”
Throughout the night, Kayla had been mumbling for her mother in a daze.
Cedric softened a bit as he watched her, showing more pity than before. He knew that Isabella had never
been with Kayla since the beginning, and Kayla had grown up with only the company of the servants.
She didn’t know who her father was or who her mother was until someone mentioned Natalie’s name.
What kind of expectations did this girl have when she came to Natalie?
However, Natalie’s subsequent actions left an indelible shadow in the girl’s heart.
What kind of existence should a mother be in a child’s heart?
Beautiful and gentle, providing infinite hope and reliance.
However, what did Natalie do to her?
“Sleep well, my dear”
Cedric gently touched her forehead. The temperature he felt was abnormal. Clearly, she was going to
have another fever.
After leaving Kayla’s room, Kyle was waiting outside for him. “My lord.”
“Where is she?” His tone was ice–cold.
He thought about how Natalie had stayed with Caleb’s daughter all night. She had even hung up his call!
Cedric realized he never knew how heartless Natalie could be.
“She’s in Engel International Hotel, meeting with Mr. Spencer!‘ Kyle replied nervously.
As he finished speaking, Cedric’s already ominous aura became even colder.
Hah..
She was such a great person…!
Caleb had just arrived, yet Natalie couldn’t wait any longer and appeared at Engel International Hotel.
Was that child an occident, or did she voluntarily choose it?
A sinister light flickered in Cedric’s eyes.
Kyle shivered at the foreboding atmosphere. He felt that the coming events would be earth–shattering.
In the presidential suite of Engel International Hotel, the atmosphere had become extremely tense and
cold
Caleb was somewhat dazed as he looked at Natalie, struggling to grasp the implications of what she had
“Anyway, I’m sorry for this matter. I’ll prepare some compensation for you. Rest assured, I’ll resolve this trouble as soon as possible,‘ Natalie said.
At one point, she even had the intention to just do away with Cedric. He had taken away so many projects from Caleb. It had left Caleb in a tough spot, especially since he had never anticipated that this was the
ripple effect of Cedric’s revenge against Natalie.
“It seems he never knew how to love you,” Caleb remarked after a long silence.
Although she had long understood this in her heart, she still felt a little uncomfortable when Caleb said it
to her.
Cedric was indeed someone who didn’t know how to love. His concept of love was possessive, harmful,
and destructive.
“Considering this, do you still want to be with him?”
“I have never thought about getting back together with him!”
“What about Irwin then?” Caleb continued.
And they were back to Irwin again!
In Caleb’s view, Natalie had forsaken Irwin for Cedric. To Caleb, Irwin was a person more deserving than
Cedric.
“Irwin is a good friend, but everything between him and me is not as simple as you see,” Natalie explained.
Caleb fell silent. He knew that the people around him weren’t ordinary, but he never expected the
situation to escalate to this point.
He sighed. He didn’t know what to say.
Natalie took a deep breath and continued, “The grudges between Irwin and Cedric originated from
Wexford‘
“Wexford?”
“Yes, Natalie nodded.
That was a far place and from a long time ago!
Wexford was a place Caleb was familiar with. As a business magnate, he was adept at analyzing
resources in various countries.
The abundance of resources in Wexford couldn’t have escaped his attention. However, he refrained from any action, probably due to the unique situation in Wexford.
“Irwin is also involved there?” Caleb was oblivious to Irwin’s connection with Wexford.
Natalie nodded
“I don’t know what kind of existence they are in Wexford, but after they ca grievances have never stopped,” she explained.
out into the world, the
“So, you mean Irwin approached you because of the conflict with Cedric?”
Yes.”
“That’s impossible.”
Caleb rejected the idea outright. In his mind, Irwin wasn’t that kind of person–at least, he wouldn’t exploit
a woman.
“You don’t believe it either, huh?” Natalie asked.
Initially, when she first saw the photo in Stephen’s study, she didn’t believe it either. However, the facts
were right in front of her.
There was no room for doubt any longer. Irwin seemed too perfect, flawless in every way, and yet this perfection was what made it all the more repulsive in the end.
“Did he ever explain himself?” Caleb furrowed his brow, gazing at Natalie.
Natalie was silent.
Explain?
“Afterward, we let go of all pretenses. Was there anything to explain?” Natalie recalled the disturbing. revelation she overheard outside the room in Meridiania.
A chill ran through Natalie’s heart at the memory. The conclusion with Cedric had already shattered her confidence in relationships, and Irwin’s seemingly untouched connection had dealt her another heavy
blow
“I don’t have the right to demand an explanation from him.” Natalie’s tone was unusually conflicted.
Especially after returning from Meridiania, Irwin had not contacted her, signifying the silent and complete
rupture between them.
