Chapter 465 Kayla’s Successful Surgery
Natalie stepped forward.
When Irwin caught sight of her fragile figure, his eyes dimmed momentarily. When
she stopped by his side, he swiftly removed his trench coat and draped it over
Natalie’s head.
Pulling her close to him, he whispered with a tone of reproach, “Did he let you out like
this?!”
His crisp breath lingered by Natalie’s ear, and not far behind… she could feel a
burning gaze fixated on her.
Natalie took a deep breath and refused to look back. Faced with Irwin’s tenderness,
she calmly said, “Let’s go.”
Irwin was silent.
Meeting the piercing crimson eyes from a distance, Irwin’s l*ps… curled into a bitter
smile!
Who had won in this scenario?
Neither of them!
Natalie seemed too composed, too cold–as if she had been stripped of all emotion.
Irwin ushered Natalie into the car. This time, Cedric’s men didn’t intervene.
Everything proceeded smoothly.
Inside the car, Natalie gazed at the unfamiliar surroundings, her eyes still clouded
with emptiness.
Do you regret it? Irwin took a drag from his cigarette, his voice deep

Natalie responded, “The plants here in Wexford are entirely different from Simeria.”
Though she didn’t directly answer Irwin’s question, her statement indirectly
conveyed everything.
Irwin was silent.
Natalie was such a minx! It felt as if she enjoyed torturing others… and devouring
their hearts!
As Natalie suspected, everything here was unlike Simeria. Not just the flora, but even
the architecture was different.
The people here seemed to like huge manors as Natalie recalled how big Klitz Manor
had been.
Now, Irwin’s manor also exuded a distinct charm.
Outside the wooden corridor, rain pattered against the coconut trees.
“It seems to rain a lot here,” Natalie remarked.
Irwin responded, “The weather here is like this. It rains for at least half the month, so
the atmosphere is humid.”
“I see,” Natalie murmured, finding it hard to judge the weather favorably.
She fell silent after that.
Irwin had someone escort her to the room. After such a long journey, Natalie was
genuinely exhausted.
The room was decorated according to Natalle’s preferences. She was truly tired. She
slept soundly until the next morning.
eat, the table was laden with dishes Natalie loved
“The chefs in the kitchen are from Simeria. I assume you might not be accustomed
to the local flavors,” Irwin remarked.
When Natalie heard this, she paused, undoubtedly recalling yesterday’s events.
Noticing her silence, Irwin masked a hint of bitterness in his eyes and continued, ” The child’s surgery was successful.”
The child?!
Ah, Kayla.
Given how much Cedric cared for her, he wouldn’t let anything happen to the child
even if he couldn’t access Luna, right?
Yet, the very fact that he had intended to use Luna was unforgivable.
“There’s no need to tell me about these things,” Natalie responded flatly.
This took Irwin by surprise.
Natalie lifted the glass of milk in front of her and took a sip.
It had sugar in it!
She disliked it, setting the glass down after just one sip. Irwin’s demeanor grew more
intense once he understood what had happened.
A servant was standing nearby. Irwin had repeatedly instructed him to ensure that
Natalie’s meals were prepared to her liking. When he sensed the change in Irwin’s
demeanor, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Fetch another glass, Irwin commanded.
* oir the servant hurriedly responded, bringing Natalie an unsweetened gl
As the servant set the glass down, Natalie noticed his trembling hands. She glanced
at Irwin with a smile on her l*ps.
“You don’t have to act this way. Your people seem frightened.”
“They should be,” Irwin responded coldly.
Natalie fell silent.
Should they?
