Chapter 440 Natalie’s Decision

Bianca left!

Natalie made her way to the dining area, clearly preoccupied. Evidently, Bianca’s matters had been weighing heavily on her mind.

Inside the dining room, Heather was feeding Luna. The little one sát obediently in Heather’s

embrace

Clyde returned from outside and, upon seeing Natalie, furrowed his brows.

Eventually, Natalie and Clyde moved to the study together. Clyde inquired with a puzzled look, ”

What’s the matter?”

“Is he… dead?” Natalie asked coldly.

She was referring to Cedric!

Though she had lost her composure the previous night, she was well aware of her actions.

Clyde was taken aback by her icy tone. He paused before replying, “Do you think of him as a

chicken?”

Natalie was speechless

A chicken? What kind of metaphor was that?

Seemingly preoccupied, Clyde had returned for a reason. Now, rummaging through the bookshelf, he said, “Someone like him wouldn’t just die

that easily.

Just look at what Natalie did to Cedric last night. If it wasn’t for that, Clyde wouldn’t have kicked him so many times!

Clearly, he knew nothing would happen to Cedric.

Natalie had only hurt him a little.

Clyde observed the chill in the room deepen and remarked, “It seems your hatred for him has intensified.”

The glint of resentment in Natalie’s eyes shimmered more fiercely upon hearing he was unharmed.

Natalie asked, “He’s fine?”

Clyde replied, “But after this incident, he’s likely taking the child to Wexford.”

Natalie was silent.

Wexford?

Given the circumstances in Simeria, there was no reason for him to stay. With the urgency in Wexford, time was of the essence.

Whether it was for Natalie or Kayla… Cedric was wasting his time if he continued to stay here.

A cold determination flashed in Natalie’s eyes. “I got it.”

To Wexford, was it?

Did he believe that after all his wrongdoings, he could just leave unscathed?!

Indeed, at this moment, Natalie’s loathing was as clear as day. Once, she had hoped to have no dealings with Cedric for the rest of her life.

But ever since he used Clyde’s past as leverage and threatened her, especially after his actions. regarding Luna, a voice inside her echoed…

Unless this man was eliminated, she would never find peace!

From love to the present animosity! Who could have foreseen they would reach such a point?!

Once, Cedric had held Natalie close. But in the end, he crushed her warmth with his own hands.

There was a moment when Natalie’s heart was pure and angelic. However, Cedric’s actions cast

her into despair, so how could one blame her for the bitterness that followed?

Simeria! Wexford. !

Both cities, seemingly stable and prosperous, hid deep–seated tensions beneath their calm. façades.

After a week of meticulous care, Luna finally let down her guard. By the third day, Luna had stopped crying at night, emphasizing how crucial

familial presence was for a child.

Yet, when Natalie revealed her decision, it stunned everyone from her family.

“Nat, didn’t you say…” Heather stared at Natalie, her eyes wide with shock.

Moments ago, Natalie had informed them that she intended to accompany Irwin to Wexford?!

chance for the sake of their child’s family

While the outcome was disappointing

She now wanted to go to Wexford with Irwin?!

Her decision now left everyone puzzled!

Heather was unfamiliar with the intricacies between Wexford and Simeria, but Stephen understood the implications of Natalie’s choice.

He gazed deeply into her eyes, “Is this truly your decision?”

“Yes, Dad. This is my choice.”

“Do you understand what you’re getting into?”

“Nat

“I know you’ve always protected me, but…” Natalie paused, leaving her sentence unfinished.

Yet, Stephen understood the unspoken words.

The Jarvis family had always shielded her. But unbeknownst to many, thanks to Cedric, she was

already in a pit of despair.

No matter how much protection she received, none could pull her from that abyss.

Now, the only way out was for her to go on her own terms.

If things had to be resolved this way, then it wasn’t Natalie’s fault for coming to this decision,

either.

“But what about Luna? Are you willing to leave her?” Heather’s voice was filled with concern.

Whenever she recalled how Cedric had treated Luna, Heather’s heart would break.

Gazing at the child in her arms, Natalie replied, “Unless I address this, I’ll never have peace with my daughter.”

Indeed. She would never!

Because of Luna’s father, Cedric, Natalie felt as restless as her own mother had once been.

Heather looked helplessly at Stephen, who met her gaze with cold, deep eyes. It indicated… his reluctant support for Natalie’s decision.

Heather’s lips quivered as if wanting to voice her concerns, but she held back.
