hapter 594 Just a Substitute 

After all was said and done…. 

Because she wasn’t Blair, she ultimately didn’t receive Cedric’s love and favor. 

Without Blair, to whom did all that favor go? 

Isabella, then Kayla… 

Everyone but Natalie. 

Even during these twenty–plus days, Natalie had the same thoughts. If Blair were here, Cedric’s favor would probably be entirely on Blair. 

No matter how Isabella schemed, in the end…. 

Yes. 

In the end, this favor was never given to Natalie because she was just a substitute. 

So, every time something happened, naturally…!. 

“Nat, things are not as you think!” 

“Cedric, that’s enough,” Natalie said, interrupting Cedric. 

Enough. 

Let all of this end. 

Really, it was enough! 

“Nat.” 

Cedric’s throat had tightened at Natalie’s words, and the stifling feeling in his ch*st became more painful. 

Enough? 

Why did she have to say such things? 

In fact, she…! 

“Nat.” 

“I can handle the doctor on my own. You should return to Wexford.” 

Things between them had already reached this point. There was no possibility of them reconciling. 

So, what was the point of continuing this…? 

“Things between us have been impossible a long time agol”

“In fact, you already knew from the start that it was impossible between us, right?” 

Natalie was just a substitute, so how else could this have ended? 

She had never been so calmn. 

And this calmness made Cedric’s heart ache because he understood what this truly meant. 

It was more unsettling than her shouting in anger. Without even the anger, it meant that Natalie must have seen things more clearly and understood her own heart more clearly. 

With such 

be so cally, she knew exactly what she wanted for her future, which was why she could 

And with that, it meant that there was no place for Cedric in her future. 

That was why she could be so calm, 

“Nat.” 

“I know the situation over at Wexford isn’t looking good right now. If my eyes recover, we’ll consider our grievances settled.” 

“You…” 

“From now on, we’ll never cross paths again!” 

Natalie really didn’t want this to continue. 

Every second she spent with Cedric made her feel suffocated. 

All these things made her realize clearly why she and Cedric had started in the first place. 

It wasn’t because of who she was. 

It was because of a woman named Blair. 

“I don’t want to owe you in the end!! 

After all, the situation at Wexford isn’t good right now. If Cedric continued to stay with her 

here… 

He would undoubtedly count this as another debt she owed him when trouble arose. 

She had witnessed his madness and didn’t want to go through it again. 

“Nat, you don’t owe me for this. You…” 

+15 BONUS 

“Let’s go.” 

Natalie didn’t want to hear anymore, and she had no patience to continue. 

That was how her attitude toward Cedric was now. 

She had no patience at all to deal with him. 

Cedric also sensed the indifference in her tone. This kind of indifference made him acutely aware of the depth of the gap between them. 

They could never go back to the past they once shared. 

Never! 

“Is it really impossible for us, no matter what I do now?” “I’m just a substitute,” Natalie said calmly.
