Chapter 482 Still So Sweet–Sounding 

“Don’t think that just because I’m supposedly your fiancee now, I must bear the responsibilities of one!” 

Irwin was silent, and he froze instantly! 

He had to admit that this woman was truly maddening. 

His heart constricted painfully. In the end, Irwin pulled her tightly into his embrace, as if he wanted to completely engulf her. 

“Nat, you’re truly enchanting.” 

Indeed. 

She really was! 

Natalie coldly listened to his honeyed words, offering no response. 

Irwin felt helpless. 

Actually… after a decade, after so much time had passed, she had completely given up on Cedric. Cedric, too, had tasted the pain of losing someone. 

But why did it seem like Irwin was experiencing the same emotions? 

“Don’t let Casey investigate further!” Irwin’s hold on her tightened, his voice growing deeper. 

Natalie replied, “Both you and Cedric don’t want me to investigate. Now I’m genuinely curious about what’s going on!” 

“Ever heard the saying?” 

“What?” 

“Curiosity killed the cat!” 

Some things, once known, only brought discomfort. 

In Irwin’s opinion, if things were better left unknown, why uncover them now, after so many years? 

Natalie responded, “There were moments when not being curious nearly got me killed by all of you.” 

In fact, it almost did! 

To think that she had died so unjustly in another lifetime, unaware of those closest to herself. 

Irwin exclaimed, “Nat!”

“The more you act this way, the more I want to know what could make both you and him take action together.” 

“Have I touched a boundary between the two of you?” 

A boundary? 

What was this boundary that both Cedric and Irwin shared? What could it possibly be?! 

If that was the case, it truly needed thorough exploration. 

Irwin replied, “It’s not a boundary.” 

His tone grew even more mysterious. 

Yet, at that moment, Natalie sensed a certain evasion in his voice. He averted his eyes, and she wasn’t able to see them. Still, in that fleeting instant, she seemed to discern a hint of pain in his tone. 

Pain? 

In Irwin’s voice, there was a hint of pain… What could it be? 

“You… You’re my boundary.” His voice suddenly deepened. 

Natalie fell silent. Her heart felt constricted at that moment, and her expression grew even colder. 

Irwin’s words and voice were truly captivating and enchanting! 

Once, Cedric’s voice had the same effect on her! 

But back then? What had happened? 

She… had truly felt moved! 

as Irwin’s. 

Yet, the consequences of such feelings were not favorable! 

So, as she listened to Irwin’s gentle words now…. 

All she felt in her heart was a deep chill. But other than that, she didn’t feel any other overwhelming emotions.
