Chapter 448 It Doesn’t Matter Anymore 

After all, when one set Isabella aside, Cedric’s relentless pursuit of Natalie showcased his deep 

intentions. 

Yet, every time Isabella’s name came up, matters spiraled out of control. 

This had been a question others had posed before. 

Bianca had also asked this. 

Back then, how had Natalie responded? 

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” 

Indeed, it didn’t matter anymore 

When Clyde echoed the same question, Natalie’s response remained unchanged. 

Why Isabella held such significance to Cedric was of no interest to her. Regardless of Isabella’s importance, messing with Luna was unacceptable! 

Clyde observed the evident hostility that clouded Natalie whenever Cedric’s name surfaced, but he 

refrained from voicing his thoughts. 

“Will Julian accompany us?” he asked, changing the topic. 

“No, he won’t,” Natalie affirmed. 

“And what about Leon? He’s already there,” Clyde pressed. 

“No need for him either.” 

“You…” 

None of them? 

What was she planning? 

Natalie reassured Clyde, “I’ll manage everything.” 

To her, Wexford seemed like a dark abyss. Involving more people would only add to the 

complexity. 

Having looked into Julian and Leon, she knew they bore significant responsibilities toward their families. Even if it was their job….. 

But she 

Forget it! 

The fewer people involved in Wexford’s tangled affairs, the better. 

“Once we’re there, Daphne Turner will approach you. If you need anything, just let her know.” 

“A woman? 

“Yeah. Clyde nodded, his eyes revealing no emotion. 

However, according to his reaction, Natalie knew the person Clyde mentioned was trustworthy. And since Daphne was from Wexford, it meant that if any urgent situation arose, she would likely 

be of help 

This time, Natalie nodded without protest. “Alright, I got it.” 

“When do we leave?” 

“It depends on Irwin.” 

With Cedric already taking Kayla back to Wexford, it wouldn’t be long before Irwin settled his 

affairs in Simeria. 

Upon hearing that Natalie would be traveling with Irwin, Clyde felt a surge of concern. 

“Be careful,” he warned. 

“I will,” Natalie assured with a nod 

As she had anticipated, it only took Irwin three days to settle his matters after Cedric had taken. Kayla to Wexford. 

The timeframe suggested that Irwin wasn’t in a rush. However, Natalie didn’t probe further. During those three days, she remained close to Luna. 

The atmosphere at Lotus Villa grew tense. Heather looked at Natalie, struggling to find words. 

Eventually, Natalie said, “I’ll come back.” 

“I know.” 

“It’s just…” Heather trailed off. 

While she knew Natalie’s resilience, thinking about the challenges ahead weighed heavily on her heart. 

Natalie reassured the older woman, “Things will work out, Mom.” 

“Has it really come to this between you two?” Heather’s voice carried a hint of tension. 

While Cedric was an unpleasant man, it was a little outrageous that the relationship between him 

and Natalie had reached this point 

Natalie sighed deeply, “For now, this step is necessary” 

Indeed, it was a bridge that had to be crossed 

Since they couldn’t reach an agreement before this, the events unfolding now couldn’t solely be blamed on Natalie. 

“Oh, why did Luna have to have such a father?” Heather lamented, her heart aching for the child. 

Even Stephen, who had once been willing to give Cedric a chance, had now reached his limit with 

him.
