But after seeing Bianca's state, she realized that even more complex situations and people were more miserable than her! Bianca was a perfect example, In Simeria, she tried so hard to break free from Malcolm's clutches! But after
doing so much, she was trapped in this mess with no hope of escape...! Natalie knew very well what it meant to Bianca that her mother was still alive. After all, Natalie had come from a similar background.

No one expected that Bianca would discover the existence of her mother under such terrifying circumstances, and that this man would go as far as to threaten her with the very person she had been longing to learn about! After hanging up Bianca's call, Natalie sighed. She was in the car, having just dropped Luna off at school.
At this moment, Natalie understood even more how helpless Bianca must feel.
Suddenly, she noticed a figure at the corner of the school fence—it was Cedric! He was wearing a black windbreaker and standing outside the fence, looking into the schoolyard. Natalie followed his gaze and saw the teachers playing games with the children. Luna was among them and seemed extremely happy playing whatever game she was playing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna's white teeth gleamed in the sun when she smiled, and she looked incredibly cute.
Cedric's eyes were full of tenderness and affection. However, those _ emotions were overshadowed by a
sense of helplessness.
Over the years, Cedric had always shown Natalie his cold and fierce side.
So, seeing him like this now made her feel unreal.
And this tenderness also seemed ironic to Natalie.
Cedric continued to observe his daughter as Kyle said, "You had a fever last night. Maybe we should go back!" After all, Cedric had recently had surgery and was still recovering.
However, Cedric seemed as if he hadn't heard Kyle's voice at all, watching Luna as she threw herself into the teacher's arms. The teacher kindly caught the child, and it was clear that
Austin had taken the best care of everything for Luna at school.
When Kyle saw Natalie, he froze for a moment.
"Ma... Ms. Walker!" Before he could refer to her as the Johnson family's daughter-in-law, as he usually did, Kyle corrected himself and addressed Natalie appropriately.
Natalie nodded in response.
When Cedric heard Kyle's voice, he snapped back to attention. Seeing Natalie, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
He had wanted to see her all this time, but he hadn't been able to due to Austin's interference.
Things were completely different now!
Cedric never thought he'd need another man's permission to meet Natalie one day! The outcome was truly bitter, and it made his heart ache inexplicably.
Natalie looked at Cedric. Then, she coldly said, "Don't come here again!" Her demeanor was cold, as usual, when she spoke to him.
In the past, they...! Actually, they really couldn't dwell on the past between them. After all, too much had happened.
At one time, Natalie was tender with him, and he cherished and pampered her like someone precious.
Yet now, what was left between them? Nothing... absolutely nothing! "That's still my daughter!" Cedric's tone had a hint of stubbornness when he said this.
But when Natalie heard him say that, she chuckled.
"Forget about her!" Cedric fell silent at Natalie's words. | Natalie didn't bother arguing so much.
She just expressed her opinions.
The tenderness in Cedric's eyes when he watched Luna vanish when he heard Natalie telling him to forget about the child, and he suddenly felt heavy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could Natalie say that so easily?
"Natalie, how can you be so cruel?" Each word from Cedric was filled with indescribable pain.
Losing Natalie completely was the cruelest thing Cedric could imagine happening to him.
Was he also about to lose the right to see his daughter? "T have to be cruel to you!" Natalie exclaimed.
Cedric and Kyle were speechless at Natalie's declaration. At this moment, Cedric felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood stiffly in place and trembled all over! Before he could speak, Natalie continued, "If I'm not cruel to you, it would defy all reason!"
While Cedric remained silent, Kyle actually inwardly agreed with what Natalie said. — Although Kyle had served Cedric for a long time and had seen how troubled Cedric had been lately, he had seen too much of what Cedric had done to Natalie.
So even though he was close to Cedric, Kyle also felt that if Natalie forgave Cedric, that would truly defy all reason.
But when Natalie said those words, what kind of pain did it bring Cedric? Cedric's already pained heart was filled with more agony after he processed her words.
"Do you have to be like this?"
"Yes!" Natalie said firmly.
At this moment, Cedric couldn't find any words to refute her. He felt guilty for speaking so definitively! Yes, their relationship had come to this.
"If you insist on this, then I believe we also need to make a judgment about Luna's custody!" Cedric looked at Natalie in disbelief.
"What do you mean?" He hadn't even done anything! Was she saying she would sue him?! "Exactly what I said! Even in the eyes of the law, I don't think a father who would do such things to his own daughter is acceptable, right?" n "
"If it really comes to that, justice will tell you whether you have the right to see her!" — So, she would sue him for just looking at Luna?
