Dylan fell silent for a moment upon hearing those words.
Then, he looked at Irwin anxiously and said, “The moment she arrived in Wexford, it was destined that the
history between you and that man would be laid out before her, sooner or later.”
Indeed.
Previously, Natalie had tried her best to distance herself from Cedric. Because of that, it seemed like
nothing related to Wexford would ever come before Natalie.
However, no one accounted for Kayla’s illness.
Even more unexpected was that in Cedric’s heart, Kayla seemed to hold a place even more significant than his own daughter.
And this illness undoubtedly caused a tremendous upheaval in the situation!
As Natalie exited a cafe on Glory Road, she spotted Cedric getting out of a Mercedes–Benz G–Klasse parked by the roadside.
The vehicle’s majestic black color and Cedric’s dominant presence instantly caused Natalie’s expression to turn cold.
When Cedric reached her side, Natalie asked coldly, “Are you following me?”
“What did you ask Clyde’s people to look into?” Cedric got straight to the point.
Natalie’s demeanor was already icy, and she sneered. “Naturally, I had them investigate what kind of person you truly are here in Wexford.”
Cedric was silent, and his expression darkened.
Natalie continued, “When I first heard about your activities in Wexford from Simeria, I was genuinely surprised.”

“Cedric, I now realize how laughable those ten years between us were!”
Hearing about it was one thing, but facing it head–on made her feel like an absolute fool in his world.
“Whatever you had Clyde’s people investigate, stop it. Don’t pursue it any further!” Cedric said.

Natalie observed the chill in his eyes calmly. The way Cedric was acting felt different than before. At this
moment, his coldness made her feel as if she had touched a boundary within him.
“What if I insist on investigating? What will you do? Natalie’s temper flared, her gaze unwaveringly firm,
not giving an inch.
“You.”
“What? Will I find another beauty that has captured your heart?” Natalie’s tone grew even colder.
Cedric fell silent.
Upon hearing this, a shiver ran down his spine instantly. There was also a storm that was brewing in his
eyes as he continued to look at Natalie.
Natalie could distinctly sense the change in Cedric’s demeanor and raised an eyebrow. “Seriously?”
“In that case, I must see who this captivating woman is! Is she Isabella’s younger sister, or perhaps her
older one?”
Isabella!
Yes, in Natalie’s world, Isabella was like a haunting curse.
She was gone.
Yet now, her daughter had arrived.
Observing Cedric’s actions now, it was easy for Natalie to draw parallels between him and Isabella. It looked like Isabella held an inexplicably significant importance to Cedric.
It was a significance that was deeply unsettling.
As Natalie walked past Cedric, he suppressed his emotions and said, “Nat, stop this. Leave Wexford.”
Leave?
From the very beginning, the idea was never to involve Natalie in the intricacies of Wexford.
Yet now that she was here, Cedric couldn’t bear the thought of her staying and hoped she would depart
Natalie halted momentarily, then continued on her path, moving away.

+15 BONUS
Once, she had given him a chance to extricate himself from her world completely.
Had he not sought her out and returned straight to Wexford after he had emerged from prison, they might
not have been entangled to this extent.
If he had done that, things between them likely wouldn’t have reached this point.
If he had come straight to Wexford from prison, he wouldn’t have known about Luna or involved Luna in
Kayla’s illness.
And in that scenario, Natalie would never have set foot in Wexford.
