How could this happen?
Why did things turn out like this?
Nobody knew what Cedric was feeling right now.
The despair he felt now... was the same as when he thought about how Natalie would never turn
around, no matter how long he waited.
Yes!
It was an even deeper despair than that.
Cedric looked at the child silently, his eyes filled with pain.
"You should leave. Miss Luna is much better as long as she doesn't see you," Lara repeated.
People were like this!
No matter who it was, one couldn't directly confront their nightmares.
It was the same for Luna.
No matter what mental preparation Cedric made before coming, when he truly faced this moment...
He... was truly hurt!
He was even confused... because he didn't know what to do with his own child.
It wasn't just confusion.
It was sheer pain.
He felt this pain vividly now.
Finally, he turned around!
At that moment, he clearly heard Lara comforting the child in her arms.
"There, there. Everything's fine now, Miss Luna."
Luna couldn't hold back her emotions and started crying. "Sob, sob...!"
When he heard the child's emotional breakdown, Cedric felt even more bitter.
He had scared the child!
He just wanted to see her. He just wanted to be by her side, hold her, and help her when needed.
But because of what happened in the past, Luna was frightened and cried when she saw him.
Was there a father in this world who failed worse than him?
Clearly, there wasn't!
Stephen was waiting for him at the end of the corridor. He was dressed in a neat suit and had obviously
rushed back upon hearing of Cedric's arrival!
Seeing Cedric looking so bitter and hurt, Stephen furrows his brow.

Cedric was silent.
Luna... was afraid of him!
This reminder painfully stabbed at his heart.
Once...!
Cedric probably never thought he would experience such a miserable and painful moment in his life,
right?
However, this misery was actually brought by his own daughter.
"It's my own fault!"
Cedric's words were filled with an even deeper pain now.
Stephen fell silent.
His own fault?
That... was true!
But in this matter, Luna couldn't be blamed. If it weren't for that incident, Luna would have had a very
positive image of a father in her heart!
"In her eyes, you're a bastard who doesn't love her mom," Stephen thought momentarily and decided
to tell Cedric what he learned from Luna the other day.
Cedric already felt like his heart was being torn into two before this. When he heard Stephen's words,
he felt like hands had reached his chest and squeezed his heart tightly!
It was stifling and painful!
"So, in her eyes, I'm a bastard like that."
He wasn't just a bad person, but a bastard who didn't love her mom.
However, Luna...
How could she know...?
She knew nothing.
She didn't know that her father loved her mother dearly. It was just that the Cedric of the past never
learned how to love someone properly.
He never knew how to love someone well, so he lost that love and lost himself.
"Are you sure about this?" Stephen asked, changing the subject.
Cedric was silent.
Was he sure?
He had decided long ago.
"I've taken care of everything in Wexford."
He didn't directly answer Stephen's question, but that was his answer. Wexford had been taken care of.
Since everything had been taken care of, what he was doing now at the end was clear.
"She's probably coming back to Simeria soon." Stephen thought for a moment before speaking.
Also, she... she was married to Irwin!
He didn't say this, but he thought Cedric probably already knew, right?
Yes!
Cedric already knew. It was because he knew that his heart was even more bitter.
"I'll wait for her," Cedric replied after a moment's thought.
Stephen was silent.
He would wait for her?
Obviously, Stephen knew what this meant.
This time, Cedric was waiting for her... to see her one last time.
After that... he would be waiting in the darkness for a lifetime!
"In fact, there's also..."
"This is what I owe her," Cedric said, interrupting Stephen's words.
He knew what Stephen wanted to say. He had thought about it!
Ultimately, why didn't he want to?
Because he didn't want her eyes to hold someone else's light...!
Stephen sighed, not knowing what to say.
Once a person realized their mistake, they were afraid of repenting.
Once they repented... they would have to face even more pain.
Cedric was clearly experiencing that now.
He had repented, so now all of this was on him. -
Bianca knew Cedric had come to Simeria. In the afternoon, she saw Cedric in the cafe.
In regards to Natalie and Cedric's relationship, Bianca was undoubtedly a witness to it!!
"Do you regret it?" Bianca set down her coffee cup and looked at Cedric across from her.
Cedric was silent.
Regret?!
What was she asking?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas she asking about Isabella?
Yes!
In Bianca's eyes, the most detestable thing was the entanglement between him and Isabella.
Bianca was a divorce lawyer. Over the years, she had faced many couples separating for this reason.
Naturally, the existence of a third party was the most abhorrent thing in her world.
And now, she asked Cedric if he regretted it or not.
Cedric smiled bitterly. "How many people have you asked this question?"
How many people had she asked?
Bianca fell silent.
In her mind, she instantly thought of Faye.
Years ago, the lawsuit almost caused a sensation in Verde City.
If it weren't for her assistant's quick response in quickly suppressing the news, Faye's reputation would
have plummeted to rock bottom!
After they had managed to get things under control, Bianca coincidentally encountered Faye, who was
working as a waitress in a restaurant.
She had asked Faye the same question.
"Do you regret it?"
What was Faye's reaction at the time?
She said, "Bianca, you better never get married in your life. Don't ever experience what a hopeless
marriage is like."
"Otherwise, even if I become a ghost... I'll definitely watch how you wander in confusion on the path of
marriage. I'll watch how you seek your own comfort in the most pathetic and disgusting way."
When Bianca heard those words, she was shocked!
She had never seen such a self-righteous woman before. That night, she picked up the red wine before
her and poured it on Faye's face.
It was also that night that Faye... died in a gruesome way!
"Bianca, you better not fall in love with Zane! Otherwise, you'll always bear the pain he brings you,
and..."
And what?
When it came to this, Cedric paused.
The next moment, the man's tone became even more bitter as he continued, "You better be able to see
his helplessness in his high position. Otherwise, you'll suffer even more!"
