Just like now, it hurt!
But with a cold heart, it seemed like the pain wasn't as noticeable.
Natalie finally said, "What do you think I want to do?"
Irwin fell silent.
The man's dark gaze met hers in the dim space. At that moment, his beast-like sharpness couldn't be
concealed.
Once, Natalie thought this man was a blend of warmth and seriousness!
When he was serious, that feeling of being unapproachable made him seem very aloof.
And when he was warm, it was like the fiery sun in the sky, capable of melting one's heart.
And now?
Now, their eyes met.
Natalie calmly met the man's gaze and said, "Well?"
What did she want to do?
"You want to retaliate against me, right?" Irwin responded.
That was why she compromised and married him back in Yuloria, right? At that time, she was blind.
That wasn't the only thing.
Actually...!
Actually, what?
At this moment, Irwin's heart felt suffocated, and his gaze tightened as he looked into Natalie's eyes.
"Retaliate against you? You're joking, right?" Natalie scoffed.
What kind of retaliation was this?
She looked away, refusing to meet the man's eyes!
But the next moment, Irwin's large palm held her face, forcing her to meet his gaze again. "Natalie, do
you know what you're doing?"
Every word in the man's tone was tense.
Natalie retorted, "Of course I do!"
Yes!
Of course, she did!
"You know?"
He could see that Natalie didn't know anything.

it?"
Handle?
So what was she doing now?
She was giving him a hard time!
Natalie straightened up and said, "Do you really think I want to be affectionate with you?"
Affectionate!
Just hearing those words made Natalie feel like laughing.
Wasn't that just ridiculous?
"Affection isn't necessary," Irwin said.
When Irwin heard Natalie mention affection, his tone turned almost bitter.
Affection?
In fact, he had lost.
Just like Cedric, they had both lost.
And from the moment he lost, Irwin knew that affection was a luxury for him.
But Natalie had used such a method...!
There was a dark flicker in Irwin's eyes.
"Why do you have to treat yourself like this?"
Yes, even if she couldn't be affectionate towards him, at least she should be true to herself.
Natalie smiled mockingly.
"What do I have to feel sorry for myself about? Or do you think I owe you and Cedric something? What
right do you have to say such things to me?"
Natalie didn't mince her words.
Irwin fell silent. Upon hearing her words, his mind went blank!
For a long time, he couldn't say anything in the face of Natalie's icy words.
Finally, he could only say, "You don't owe me anything."
But what about Cedric? Did she owe him or not?
Previously, when Cedric went through the surgery with Natalie, he said it could be considered
compensation for her!
But was this compensation too heavy a price for Cedric?
They were talking about a lifetime of darkness...!
And Natalie?
After a long time, Irwin finally said meaningfully, "Natalie, I hope you cherish your eyes!"
Natalie was silent. Upon hearing this, she looked at Irwin with a hint of emotion.
Her already gloomy eyes now seemed even darker.
Cherish her eyes?
Even though her vision had been restored, these eyes were still a taboo topic to Natalie.
The darkness she experienced in her previous and current life...
Even though everything is in the past now, the despair in the darkness was still as vivid as ever to
her...! -
Irwin took Natalie to the hospital.
Her ankle was swollen. The doctor examined it and said there were no fractures. It was just a simple
sprain, but walking would definitely be inconvenient for a while.
In the car, Irwin lit a cigarette, and the window was half-open! When the cold wind blew in, Natalie
shivered.
Irwin seemed to sense her discomfort. He threw the cigarette out of the window and then closed it.
Then, he spoke with a deep tone, "Don't see Caleb again."
Yes!
Don't see Caleb again.
After all, his relationship with Caleb was not ordinary, so this matter was something he couldn't tolerate
the most.
"It seems you've forgotten that this is none of your business!" Natalie retorted.
In Natalie's view, neither Irwin nor Cedric had any connections to her. So what she wanted to do was
her own business, and it had nothing to do with outsiders.
"Do you have to be like this?"
At this moment, the man's tone was somewhat tense...
And even more dangerous.
The threat in his voice was evident!

When Natalie sensed this danger, she looked at Irwin with a cold smile. "So, what do you want me to
do!?"
Yes.
What did Irwin want her to do?
Just like Cedric did in the past, did he hope that she, as a wife, would obediently become a housewife
and never resist him at any time?
Was that what Irwin thought?
How naive!
"Do you want me to be as obedient as I was before?" Natalie asked.
Did he?
At that time, Irwin had to admit that he had seen Natalie transform from an obedient wife to a
madwoman who could protect herself.
She fiercely defended herself against Cedric.
The dramatic change in her behavior before and after was shocking.
"Hah!" Natalie scoffed coldly, and the atmosphere froze again.
Undoubtedly, Natalie was mocking him...!
She was mocking him for not being able to achieve or afford what he wanted.
Or perhaps she was mocking the fact that they had burned bridges between them.
Now that he wanted to turn back, did he think it would be so easy?
"Do you realize how dangerous your actions are now?" Irwin's already unpleasant tone became even
colder upon hearing Natalie's mockery.
Forget about Caleb for now.
What about what she had done with Austin?
"Even if you want to retaliate against me, you should think about your father. He never wanted to have
any connection with the Entes family in his entire life," Irwin said sharply.
Natalie fell silent.
Yes!
No one knew exactly what happened between Stephen and the Entes family. But every time someone
from the Entes family extended an olive branch to him, he always avoided it completely.
His actions made it obvious he didn't want to have even a shred of connection to the Entes family.
And now, talking about the Entes family gave Natalie a headache, and she remained silent.
Her silence made Irwin's heart tighten.
Irwin thought Natalie had really gone crazy.
To retaliate against him, she would do anything, regardless of the consequences.
