Chapter 464 Don’t Punish Me This Way 

Cedric was silent, and his throat tightened instantly. 

Yes Cedric had to admit that everything that happened to Natalie was undeniably cruel. 

Numerous times, he had tried to articulate his feelings on the matter. Yet, just like now, words failed him. 

After all, the consequences span two lifetimes. 

Natalie had made it abundantly clear. Regardless of what he and Isabella had sacrificed for her, she would never forgive them for everything she had suffered. 

It was their retribution. 

And now…! 

Before he could say anything, Natalie pressed on, “You were cruel to Luna when you tried to save Kayla.” 

For a moment, Cedric felt a dizzying emptiness, and his mind went blank. 

Cruel? 

How could he be cruel to his own daughter? 

“No, Nat!” 

“I know you didn’t intend it, I know! But… you did it anyway!” She spoke each word with unwavering 

conviction. 

It was as if she was branding him with sin, a burden too heavy for Cedric to bear. 

Between them, a divide had grown. It was the start of them walking on different paths! 

At this moment, Natalie was fueled by her profound hatred. Not even Cedric’s determination and 

stubbornness could stop her. 

Indeed, she was filled with hate! 

She had already said that it was different now. 

Before, she had merely wished for a life apart from him. Now, her presence in Wexford Indicated she 

would stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance. 

What do you want from me?”

As Natalie turned away, Cedric’s composed demeanor shattered completely, replaced by raw pain! 

Natalie halted, keeping her back to him. When she closed her eyes, the icy glint beneath them betrayed 

her emotions. 

Cedric’s eyes reflected a momentary vulnerability as he stared at her back. If only Natalie would turn 

back, she’d see his genuine concern and pain. 

But she didn’t. 

Even if she did, she would remain unmoved. 

*Just tell me what you want, Nat! Don’t go to Irwin. Don’t punish me this way, and most importantly… 

spare yourself!” 

She couldn’t go to Irwin! 

That was the only thought in Cedric’s mind. 

No matter what happened, she couldn’t go to Irwin. 

Once she stepped into Irwin’s world, everything would change irrevocably. Once she aligned herself with 

Irwin, there would be no turning back. 

“Don’t do this, please?” 

Abandoning such an approach would be a form of redemption for her. 

But the next moment, Cedric felt a chilling sensation, followed by a pang of pain as Natalie said, “Irwin 

and I are engaged. Our fates are intertwined, come what may.” 

Cedric was speechless. 

Without another word, Natalie turned and walked away, leaving Cedric behind. She didn’t spare a glance 

back, even as she felt his pained and burning gaze on her back. 

She remembered the pain she felt when she was with Cedric. 

Now, she seemed so indifferent. 

Cednc stood motionless. Lost in thought for what felt like an eternity, he pondered over her final words 

about how her fate was intertwined with Irwin’s.

Indeed, this was their current reality. 

When Natalie emerged, she found Irwin’s and Cedric’s men facing off. 

Despite the cold downpour, Irwin exuded an air of sophistication as he stood there. The weather didn’t make him look the least bit disheveled.
