Chapter 778 He's Coming Back How could she be so indifferent? This kind of coldness was truly maddening! "Didn't you always wish I was colder to Cedric?" Natalie asked. "Aren't you satisfied now that I am?" Why would Rebecca be satisfied? When Rebecca hoped Natalie would leave Cedric back then, she genuinely wished Natalie would be a bit colder towards Cedric. That was the way Cedric could possibly give up on her.
But this kind of coldness now was different.
This coldness now truly felt cruel!
| "Do you know he might be struggling in the darkness for your sake right now?!" 2 | Just moments ago, Rebecca had been acting arrogantly. But after seeing how cruel Natalie was towards Cedric, her heart clenched painfully.
How could Natalie be so cold and cruel? She was never like this! "That's what he deserves!" Rebecca was speechless.
What... Cedric deserved?! Those words filled her mind in an instant and drove her crazy.
Natalie was so heartless... and cruel! That was not all. In Rebecca's eyes,
Natalie seemed to lack any trace of humanity.
After all, not just anyone could do such things! Natalie turned and headed upstairs, not wanting to hear anything more from Rebecca.
Rebecca watched her retreating back and shouted, "Natalie, I hate you! I'll definitely get the child! I'lL..!" Her voice grew fainter, obviously because Lawrence had dragged her out.
Was she acting coldly? During this time, many people declared Natalie's attitude towards Cedric cold and heartless.
But what did those people know?
They never knew what Natalie had endured, what she had suffered in that dark world time and time again. It had | been unbearable, and there had been no response from the heavens or the earth! After Natalie lost her eyes to Isabella, nobody knew how much she wanted to gouge out Cedric's eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo now, even if these eyes truly belonged to Cedric, what of it? As she said to Rebecca, this was what Cedric owed her. Since that was the case, it was only fair that he repaid her.
Whatever he did for her now was just...
paying her back what he owed her! Initially, she was supposed to have
dinner with Bianca tonight, but Bianca told her that Zane... had returned! The man who had disappeared for a long time had finally reappeared.
Knowing Bianca's feelings for Zane, Natalie naturally didn't want to disturb them.
After receiving Bianca's message, she planned to return to Lotus Villa.
However, Austin intercepted her, and she ended up in Orchid Bay.
Austin watched as Natalie ate in small bites. There was tenderness in his eyes as he said, "I've already discussed things with Mr. Jarvis." "What are you talking about?" Natalie suddenly looked up with a somewhat puzzled look.
Austin smiled and said, "Our wedding |
date!" "Lord Austin!" Natalie said sternly.
Seeing how worked up Natalie was, Austin's smile widened. "Your father has already agreed." "That's impossible!" Natalie said without hesitation.
Of course, it was impossible! The Jarvis and Entes families would never get entangled in such a way, not during Winona's time, and certainly not now.
"Nat." "Please excuse me!" Without waiting for Austin to say anything else, Natalie stood up, grabbed her phone, and walked away.
without a doubt, she was going to h a8/12 |
make a call.
Aman like Austin wouldn't say things without basis. If he could say such a thing in front of her, it must be true.
That meant Stephen... might have agreed.
But why? That call lasted a full twenty minutes.
After she was done, Natalie returned to the dining room with a solemn look.
She... truly hadn't expected it to be this difficult.
"So, do you understand the situation now?" "Did you really sign such an agreement with my father?" Yes, an agreement for Austin to
propose to her.
For the Entes family to marry into the Jarvis family, what they sought was the Jarvis family's support. Yet, Austin voluntarily presented Stephen with an agreement. It stated that he would never have any dealings with the Jarvis family for the sake of benefits.
"What I want is you!" Austin said warmly.
His eyes usually had a hard glint, but they appeared soft now. The gentleness in his eyes seemed to possess a magical force, drawing people in.
However, Natalie had weathered all kinds of storms in matters of the heart! During her loneliest days, Cedric's
tenderness had opened her heart, Similarly, during her most painful moments, Irwin's warmth also touched her.
And now? Faced with Austin's tenderness, she remained calm and collected.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe only asked, "Why?" Why indeed? "Cedric will probably be back soon.
Your father told you that, right?" Austin replied.
Yes, she knew about that. That was why she felt that the past was so stubborn.
Why couldn't the past remain behind her?
"Twill declare that Luna is my daughter." "Why would you do that?" Natalie asked again.
Why sign such an agreement with Stephen and even involve Luna? And why did Stephen agree after seeing that agreement? Everything happened suddenly, and Natalie felt suffocated at the thought of Cedric's return.
Austin only smiled at Natalie's repeated questions and said, "You'll find out eventually." Eventually?! "What if I disagree with this arrangement?" "He'll return with Kayla and surely
| find a way to make you, Luna, and Kayla live together!" Natalie was stunned at Austin's words.
What the hell?! Yes, that was possible.
Cedric was beyond shameless, so he would definitely make such demands after returning.
The atmosphere was silent and heavy.
For a long time, Natalie remained silent as her heart clenched painfully.
She couldn't feel happy about Cedric's return at all.
Instead... she felt annoyed and frustrated.
In the end, Natalie looked at Austin and said, "Fine. I agree!" After all, Stephen had said everything he needed to say in the twenty-minute phone call.
Natalie had only wanted to ask for the reason.
Since Austin didn't want to answer her, she didn't care for now.
For now... stopping Cedric from doing such things was her priority!
