Chapter 516 It’s Time to End
Irwin’s head was throbbing intensely now.
This was why Natalie could never find out! Once she did, many things would spiral out of control.
And that was precisely where they were now: a state of complete chaos!
Natalie’s entire b*dy trembled.
The ten years of their relationship had already been completely overturned in her heart.
Now, knowing that Cedric’s people were planning to take Luna too, it was as if the wild beasts deep within her had finally been unleashed. She had suppressed these feelings for so many years.
She wasn’t a saint!
How could she keep suppressing everything after all that had happened?!
Smack!
” “I
The crisp sound of a slap echoed as Natalie used all her strength to slap him across the face. Her sharp nails left bloody marks on his skin.
The air stood still.
For a long while, Irwin stood motionless, unable to respond. By the time he came to his senses, Natalie had already left.
Upon hearing that Natalie had returned, Cedric looked at Kayla. The child had an unusually pale face and was holding a doll.
Kayla had been discharged from the hospital. The surgery had been successful, but perhaps due to the severity of the illness, her face was still very pale.
Cedric gazed at her. “Kayla.”
“Yes, Daddy?”
“After this busy period, would you like Daddy to take you out to play for a while?”
After experiencing this ordeal, Cedric realized the immense pressure children faced. The academic stress alone was overwhelming!

Just looking at her homework gave him a headache, let alone for such a young child.
Looking deep into her eyes with tenderness, he saw the eager nod from the little one.
“Sure!”
Children, after all, love to play. Hearing about an outing lit up her face, bringing warmth and healing to Cedric’s heart.
The butler came in to report that Natalie had arrived. The gentle smile on Cedric’s face instantly vanished as he turned to Kayla.
“Kayla, why don’t you go play with the nannies for a while?”
“Okay.”
Kayla was indeed sweet and obedient. Nodding, Kayla went on her way.
“Where is she?”
“We showed her to the garden,” the butler replied.
Given the conflicts between Cedric and Natalie concerning Kayla before, Lucas had instructed the servants to keep an eye out.
So, whenever Natalie arrived, a ch*ck on this side was customary. As Cedric was with Kayla, the butler came to report promptly on Natalie’s arrival.
In the garden, the scent of flowers was delightful.
As Cedric approached, he saw Natalie seated calmly on a wicker chair, holding a freshly served cup of coffee. Steam rose from the cup, indicating its warmth.
“You’re back,” Cedric said, composing himself as he approached, his eyes radiating gentleness.
It had been an unbearable few days for Cedric!
With Irwin involved, unexpected things were always a possibility.
But just as he settled down…
Splash!
Suddenly, Cedric felt a burning sensation on his face. The coffee that had been in Natalie’s hand was now splashed all over him.
The cup crashed onto the table loudly..
At that moment, the calm facade on Natalie’s face shattered. She looked at the disheveled Cedric, her inner anger still unresolved.

Their eyes met, a storm brewing within his.
“Have you had enough fun?” Natalie asked with a biting tone.
Cedric remained silent, taken aback by the sudden question.
Fun?
“Enough of this tender act. It’s time to end the charade,” she declared coldly.
