Chapter 429 Unworthy of Being a Father

After Irwin left, Stephen stood rooted to the spot, struggling to come to terms with everything.

Irwin wasn’t just using Natalie?

Could it be…?

A dreadful realization dawned on him, causing Stephen’s heart to tighten further.

Natalie sat on the couch inside the villa, her face drained of color.

Stephen approached her and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

“Dad”

“Did he come here to see you?”

“Yes.”

Stephen was referring to Irwin!

Stephen had believed that once everything was laid bare, the boundaries between Natalie and Irwin would be crystal clear.

However, judging by Irwin’s recent behavior, that wasn’t the case.

“How do you feel about him?” Stephen asked, his eyes piercing into Natalie.

Morning. Try It

How did she feel?

That question left Natalie momentarily speechless. Though Irwin hadn’t explicitly explained the situation regarding Meridiania, his statement

about how he would never cut ties with her in that manner had shaken Natalie’s perception of him.

Undoubtedly, Irwin was speaking the truth.

He had wanted to see her that day!

So, even if he had no ill intentions towards her, he had no reason to treat her that way.

But he…!

“Who knows how else he intends to use me?”

Yes, that was how Natalie viewed Irwin now

For Natalie, understanding Irwin’s true nature had become irrelevant. The pressing concern was

his motives

A manipulation that has lasted for a decade speaks volumes about the depth of his intentions.

‘Maybe he’s not just using you,” Stephen mused, his eyes revealing a hint of worry.

After all, Irwin had previously manipulated Natalie because of Cedric and the events in Wexford.

But now, Stephen was well aware of how things were in Wexford

As for Cedric…

Stephen had to admit that Irwin had already achieved his revenge on him long ago.

So, it seemed unlikely that Irwin would want to manipulate Natalie now.

If that’s the case, then…?!

The mere possibility deepened the worry in Stephen’s eyes.

Natalie’s already pale face grew even darker upon hearing Stephen’s words,

Maybe Irwin wasn’t just using her?

If that wasn’t the case, then it would be more terrifying.

Stephen sipped his tea and observed her carefully. “What’s happening between you and Cedric?”

“Kayla has leukemia.”

Stephen froze

“Leukemia?”

The words felt like a dagger to his heart.

“Then, he…?”

“Luna might be a match for the child!”

Stephen became even more alert upon hearing this, and his expression darkened.

“And Cedric’s stance?”

Yes, what was his stance on this?

Stephen never expected such a big thing to happen in Peach Garden.

Natalie finished her tea, then met Stephen’s gaze, her voice heavy with dread. “He wants to use.

Luna for Kayla’s surgery.

Has he lost his mind?!”

In an instant Stephen was furious!

Natalie remained silent.

Stephen had always been adept at controlling his emotions. His calm demeanor made his current anger all the more evident.

“Did you agree to it?” He could barely contain his rage as he observed Natalie’s indifferent expression.

Had Cedric truly lost his mind? Had he forgotten that he had pleaded for this chance he currently had with Natalie?!

Even so, Cedric actually..!

“How could I ever agree?” Natalie shook her head vehemently.

The idea of accepting that child was already difficult for her. Now, with Cedric’s audacious

request, her aversion towards Kayla had intensified

Stephen felt a slight relief upon hearing her response, but Cedric’s audacity still lingered in his

thoughts.

How dare he…?!

Did Cedric dare to make such a request because Natalie wasn’t significant to him?

If that was the case, then why did he…?!

“Will you return to Peach Garden?”

“Of course not, Natalie responded firmly.

Given the circumstances, how could she?

She wanted to see to what extent Cedric would go for Isabella. Would he stoop so low as to

continually use Clyde’s past against her?

Yes, that was a possibility

That possibility sent shivers down Natalie’s spine.

Stephen’s brow furrowed deeply. “Do you think Irwin is involved in this matter?”

Irwin!

Given Isabella’s past involvement with Irwin, could this situation be related to him as well?

Was the leukemia somehow tied to Irwin?

“Irwin denied any involvement,” Natalie replied.

Do you believe him?”

“Absolutely not. Natalie’s mistrust wasn’t limited to Cedric alone. She also maintained a distance

from Irwin

She still remembered Irwin’s question.
