Chapter 730 Just a Fool With that, Natalie turned and got into her Mercedes-Benz G-Klasse.
Yves watched Natalie leave and then got into his own car. Then, he pulled out his phone to call Irwin.
At this moment, Irwin was in Orchid Bay.
Both men had cold expressions with a hint of hostility.
Seeing Yves's call, Irwin glanced at the elegant man sipping coffee across from him and then answered his phone.
"Did she go back?" "Yes, sir."
"Good." With that, he hung up the phone. = Meanwhile, Austin had already set down his coffee cup. Every movement he made exuded elegance.
"In all these years, no one from the Entes family has ever come here, right?" Irwin asked.
His tone was deep and grave. If anyone from the Entes family had visited Orchid Bay, Irwin believed someone would have noticed something amiss.
| "Why would a group of sensible people pay attention to a fool?" Austin responded, his words dripping with sarcasm.
"A fool, huh?" Irwin muttered.
If Austin was just a fool, he was o
certainly not an ordinary one.
"Is she waiting for you at the court?" Austin asked. ) His words carried a hint of teasing.
Irwin's already grim expression darkened further upon hearing Austin's response.

She's the one who wants to leave you." "Lord Austin!" There was a weight in Irwin's voice.
"Considering how both my sixth and fifth brothers are watching the Jarvis
family, what do you think will happen after she divorces you?" Was the Jarvis family really that important? Irwin felt suffocated.
"I don't care about your family name right now! All of you should just drop this obsession!" "If you had protected her like this earlier, you wouldn't be in such a dilemma now," Austin calmly replied.
n n Earlier? From when? Actually, what Austin said was right. If Irwin had acted like this earlier, would
they have reached this point? Unfortunately, certain events could only be understood after they had happened, and it was impossible to change the past.
"Fine. Tell me, what are your conditions?" Irwin got straight to the point.
"Are you willing to do anything for her?" Austin asked in a more serious tone.
"Just tell me!" "Hah!" Austin chuckled, his laughter tinged with mockery.
Looking into Irwin's eyes, he seemed to see deeper.
"When you care too much about someone, it will lead to confusion and
chaos, right?" Irwin fell silent.
Too much concern would lead to confusion? Yes, that was right! After Irwin learned that Natalie had met Austin, his head ached terribly.
Even now, he was willing to pay any price to keep Austin away from Natalie.
When did it all begin? When did every move of Natalie's become so distressing? In Irwin's eyes, Natalie now seemed like a stubborn child who could easily stumble into the abyss. So, those around her had to be extremely
cautious, leaving no room for error.
However, Austin remarked, "Your most crucial problem right now is Natalie, not me, right?" Indeed, it was Natalie.
She was causing quite a stir now.
Irwin stood up.
"Irwin, I never thought someone like you would be so obsessed with a woman," Austin said, amusement lacing his tone. | Someone like him? What kind of person was he? Undoubtedly, those who knew Irwin well understood that he was cold- blooded, much like a snake. It was difficult to warm his stone-cold heart.
Yet now, he...
Irwin closed his eyes briefly, then reopened them, sharp and icy. "Stop approaching her. Keep your distance.
I'll help you find the seal." As Irwin finished speaking, the elegant man on the vine chair chuckled even more, his smile conveying a deeper playfulness.
"you're already at this stage? Is it love, or guilt?" Love, or guilt? Undoubtedly, Irwin himself had long lost sight of such emotions. But in the current situation, he needed to keep Natalie out of the Entes family's grasp...)
Irwin left Orchid Bay in a daze.
Austin was right. The key issue wasn't the Entes family but Natalie herself. As long as Natalie didn't divorce him, nothing the Entes family did would affect her.
But now, in such a critical situation, Stephen actually agreed for Natalie to divorce Irwin?! Natalie went to Maple Peak, while Irwin went to Lotus Villa.
Stephen furrowed his brows when he saw Irwin arrive at Lotus villa.
Eventually, the two sat together in the study.
"Why?" Irwin asked, referring to the
divorce.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if Natalie herself couldn't see it clearly, what about Stephen? Stephen looked at Irwin in silence, his gaze piercing and profound, as if he wanted to see through him.
After a while, Stephen said, "No matter what you or Cedric do, she will never be able to get over her past." It was such a significant and shocking matter, and it also involved a decade- long relationship. It was outrageous that even outsiders were left speechless at the sight of itall.
So how could Natalie, as someone deeply involved, even begin to cope after experiencing it all? "That should at least wait until the Entes family-" T.
"It doesn't matter!" Stephen interrupted Irwin before he could finish his sentence. S—— Once, they were the closest of friends.
But now, because of this situation, they had reached this point.
Irwin remained silent.
It didn't matter? What did that even mean?! Before Irwin could speak, Stephen continued, "She's already caught in this whirlpool, haven't you realized?" Irwin's mind buzzed at Stephen's words. It was as if something in his world seemed to break open instantly.
Ever since the patriarch of the Entes
family passed away, even with Natalie's surgery looming, Irwin and Cedric had been doing their best to protect her.
But now, Stephen's words were like a wake-up call.
They had thought Natalie was detached from it all, but in reality, they had been unwilling to admit that Natalie was already deeply involved. Since Natalie returned to the Jarvis family, her fate had been on a different trajectory, diverging further and further from theirs.
Cedric must have also seen that they would only grow further apart in the future.
"you used her from the beginning, so why bother loving her?" Stephen's tone was sarcastic. i
What was the relationship between | Irwin and Cedric? They had both fallen in love with Blair at the same time. — Later, they both fell for Natalie. Their friendship had broken because of Blair, and they had reconciled over Natalie.
It all seemed so ironic and ridiculous.
Then Cedric had left, entrusting Natalie to Irwin.
Irwin had protected her with all his heart and soul, hadn't he?
