Chapter 422 Unbridgeable Differences
Cedric stared at the Natalie before him, feeling as if she had become a complete stranger.
It was as if she no longer cared about anything at all.
Once, she had cared for nothing but him.
But what about now?
“Then what matters to you? The child you have with Caleb?”
Yes, Caleb’s child.
Witnessing her tenderness and affection for the child, no one would believe she was indifferent.
Natalie looked at him, her eyes shimmering with cold light.
“And what matters to you?” she retorted.
“You…”
“Once it was Isabella, now it’s Isabella’s daughter! I’m no longer the most important person to you. Do you still harbor the illusion that you can occupy that special place in my heart as you once did in the past?”
The air turned still, a chilling silence enveloping them.
In the past…!
Now, memories of the past felt suffocating.
In those seven years, they had been inseparable.
Yet, who could have foreseen the rift that would come after marriage?
Indeed, the heart has two chambers–one for happiness and one for sorrow.
And for them, happiness had been overwhelmed by sorrow.
Initially, happiness resonated loudly, but as time wore on, sorrow became hysterical.
Now, the sorrow felt like a vast chasm, with those three years erecting walls that kept them apart.
Do you really have no regard for those seven years?” Cedric’s voice trembled with suppressed emotion.
Every time Natalle spoke so bluntly in his presence, It became clear to Cedric that in Natalle’s world, he
Dionificance
Those seven years seemed like a fleeting dream.
“When you repeatedly chose Isabella, did you ever consider those seven years?” Natalie shot back sharply.
Cedric stood rooted to the spot, trembling.
His grip loosened, and Natalie effortlessly shook off his grip before moving inside. Her retreating figure appeared distant, emanating an unsettling coldness.
It was suffocating to look at her.
On the couch, Kayla held a little pig in her arms.
Natalie wondered where Cedric got it from. It looked exactly like Ginger!
At that moment, Kayla’s face, so reminiscent of Isabella, seemed to morph into the very woman’s features. In Natalie’s eyes, Kayla’s timid gaze… seemed to instantly change into the defiant look that
Isabella would give her.
A chilling sensation surged through Natalie, prompting her to swiftly and forcefully grab the pig from
Kayla’s embrace.
Without a word, she headed upstairs. Her actions had been swift and decisive.
The moment Kayla realized what happened, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
“Miss, please don’t cry,” Chloe, who was looking after Kayla, felt a pang of sympathy.
She increasingly felt that Natalie was so narrow–minded. How could Natalie not even accommodate a
child?
Chloe wondered what had drawn Cedric to Natalie in the first place. Now, that woman was living under the same roof and making everyone’s life miserable.
Kayla buried her face into Chloe’s embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.
Shh, it’s okay. Please don’t cry, Miss!” Chloe comforted.
When Cedric walked in, he immediately sensed the tension. His face darkened instantly.
What’s going on? His voice tightened as he approached Kayla, wrapping her gently in his embrace.
Casting a glance at Chloe, who hesitated. Cedric’s voice turned icy. “Speak.”
was Madam Chice stammered.
Hearing Natalie’s name, Kayla’s tears flowed even more, her innocent eyes full of grievance. Cedric’s
temple throbbed visibly.
That woman!
“Shh, it’s alright now,” he cooed to the tearful Kayla, though internally, he was boiling with anger.
Natalie was seriously…!
He had never realized this side of Natalie, one that couldn’t even tolerate a child.
“Daddy,” Kayla whimpered, her voice choked with emotion.
“I’m here,” Cedric assured her.
“Mommy doesn’t like me. She took away my piggy,” Kayla’s voice trembled with sorrow.
The veins on Cedric’s forehead seemed to pulsate even more vigorously. By now, he had a good
understanding of why Natalie had gotten angry.
“Daddy will get you another one,” he promised.
“Okay,” came Kayla’s subdued reply, but the sorrow in her voice was obvious. The way she repressed her
emotions tugged at one’s heartstrings.
Finally calming the distraught child and heading upstairs, Cedric found Natalie lost in thought, cradling
the pig on a chaise lounge.
Taking a deep breath, he approached her. “So fond of this pig, aren’t you?”
At his words, Natalie snapped back to reality in an instant.
Natalie looked at the pig in her arms, a hint of ironic amusement curling her l*ps.
“You always have a unique way of gifting,” she remarked.
Was this his way of belittling someone?
Was that why he gave such gifts?
Cedric sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette and taking a deep drag.
He spoke in a restrained tone, “I agreed to send her away, so why must you behave like this?
paused, visibly taken aback,
emotion flashed in her eyes as she regarded Cedric. His sudden proclamation sounded
Send Kayla away?
To Natalie, such a thing seemed impossible. But now Cedric… was claiming he would do just that?
“You’d send her away?” Natalie sarcastically questioned, her disbelief evident.
Her initial reaction was one of disbelief.
Now, it seemed even more improbable.
After all, wasn’t Isabella immensely important to him?
“Yes,” he confirmed.
“Have you told her?” Natalie probed further.
She was well aware of how clingy Kayla was. Despite her resentment towards Isabella, Natalie couldn’t
help but feel a tinge of pity, especially seeing the child’s innocent eyes.
Thus, after enduring Kayla’s presence, she decided to send her away.
Undoubtedly, once Kayla realized she’d be sent away, she wouldn’t remain as calm as Natalie had seen.
Sure enough, a hint of internal struggle crossed Cedric’s eyes.
“Nat…!”
“If you can’t bear it, then don’t. As you said, she has no relatives in this world, and she’s so pitiful,” Natalie
said.
“What about you?”
“Me?” Natalie found it laughable at this point.
She looked at Cedric and said sarcastically, “You seem troubled!”
Look, the moment she spoke, he was tempted!
It was evident how difficult this decision was for him.
And hel
Not only did he want to keep the child, but he also wanted Natalie to feel sorry for Kayla, thus accepting
“It makes no difference to me whether you send her away or not. There was never anything between us,
she declared, her words absolute and final.
