Chapter 49 The Conditions for Apology

Yuvan felt like he was going to die soon as he watched the scene unfold before him.

As Cedric closed in on her, the coffee she had splashed on him earlier now adorned her white dress.

Natalie had a penchant for cleanliness, and she was furious.

“Cedric, are you out of your mind?! You… Mmph!”

It hurt!

Cedric’s kiss was domineering and fierce, lacking the tenderness he once showed. His sudden, forceful

actions made everyone in the coffee shop quickly bury their heads in their work as if they hadn’t seen

anything.

The taste of blood lingered on her lips.

Natalie struggled to push him away, but she couldn’t budge the unyielding man.

Warm breath tickled her ear, and his tone was gentle as he coaxed, “Nat, be a good girl, hm?”

So, he was trying to coax her, huh?

In the past, Cedric would leave her alone to calm down for a while. Then, he would coax her like this,

treating her almost like a child.

It was a trick that had always worked wonders on her.

it

Whenever Cedric used it, it was very effective. It could turn her from the most enraged and furious

woman into a calm and forgiving one.

Even when she faced the disdainful gazes of those from the Johnson family, a little coaxing from Cedric

could make her forget everything.

But now…

Natalie didn’t push him away. In the face of his coaxing, her voice grew colder.

“Spit it out. What do you want me to do?”

Had he forgiven her?

No, he knew nothing about it.

He was blindly swayed b

public opinion, putting unlimited faith in Isabella’s words. He had no intention of

What he wanted was her compromise on Isabella’s matter.

*Come with me first,” Cedric said, not answering her question. He simply took Natalie’s hand and

pulled

her out of the café.

Natalie was reluctant to go!

However, Cedric was gripping her wrist so tightly that Natalie had no choice. She ultimately got into the

car with him.

As they got closer to the hospital, Natalie’s heart grew even colder.

He hadn’t given up yet?!

“Cedric, what do you think of me?”

She had clearly refused, but this man brought her here.

In the past, whenever she voiced her refusal, he never forced her to do anything.

But now… he seemed obsessed.

“Come inside with me first, alright?” Cedric didn’t want to argue with Natalie. He now understood that

she became particularly rebellious during arguments.

The current Natalie left him at a loss.

Finally, Cedric half–coaxed, half–forcibly took Natalie into the hospital,

In the hospital room, Isabella emerged from the bathroom in a bathrobe. Her hair was damp, and the

scent of her shampoo lingered around her. She had always been beautiful, and the post–bath glow

accentuated her natural beauty.

She had long, shapely legs and the gift of natural beauty. Her inherent qualities were truly exceptional.

Her phone buzzed, and she noted it was Christina calling.

She answered, “Hello?”

“So far, they haven’t divorced. You need to put more effort into it,” Christina said impatiently, her tone

more like a command.

It had been dragging on for too long.

Originally, given Natalie’s love for Cedric thele dis

Cedric had also been raised like a prince in the Johnson family. If Natalie caused enough trouble, he

would surely run out of patience, right?

After all, in the eyes of the people in the Johnson family, Natalie had always been a very proper

woman. She had used her gentle approach to keep Cedric’s heart.

Isabelle acted as a woman who was more gentle and understanding than Natalie. Christina had firmly

believed that since Isabelle appeared, the relationship between Natalie and Cedric would be over!

However, Natalie had caused so much trouble. Yet, Cedric still showed no sign of letting go.

Christina was losing patience.

Isabella said, “I’ve done everything I should do. It seems the pressure from you and your mother hasn’t

had any effect.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing!”

Isabella felt her mood turn sour every time she spoke to Christina.

Christina’s tone turned cold at the disrespect.

“Isabella, I hope you remember your position. After this is over, you’ll go abroad, and you will get

everything you’re entitled to. If you dare entertain other thoughts, I won’t hold back.”

As Christina spoke, her threats became more pronounced. As she finished speaking, her tone was

filled with a strong sense of intimidation.

Isabella’s gloomy face turned even darker at Christina’s words. A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Instead of directly answering Christina’s question, she asked, “How do you plan to be with him after

Natalie’s out of the picture?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways,” Christina replied before abruptly ending the call.

Isabella listened to the beeping tone, and her eyes hardened.

Who did Christina think she was?

She was just the Johnson family’s adopted daughter!

Even if Natalie and Isabella were no longer around, Christina had no chance of being with Cedric.

Rebecca couldn’t even accept Natalie or Isabella. The Johnson family was a traditi

Hmph! Did Christina think she was so great? It wasn’t like Isabella had teamed up with her because

she

was a capable woman!

The more Isabella thought about it, the more disdain she felt. She slammed her phone onto the hospital

bed and tossed her towel aside. Then she ran her fingers through her long hair.

There was no sign of the weakness and need for rest that doctors had mentioned!

All that was visible was her gentle and alluring charm!

The elevator’s door chimed as it opened, and Natalie shook off the man’s hand.

However, Cedric refused to release her and forcefully dragged her off the elevator.

Natalie struggled, but the man’s strong arm wrapped around her slender waist in the next moment,

leaving her with nowhere to escape.

Natalie glared at Cedric and said, “Do you think that forcibly bringing me up here will make me

apologize

to her? Dream on!”

“Wait until you see her.

This time, Cedric didn’t insist with force. He spoke calmly.

Since Isabella had been brought back, Natalie had not seen her once. At this moment, Cedric still

believed that Natalie was a kind person who had acted impulsively.

He believed that once she saw Isabella, she would change her mind.

Also… she must face the consequences of this matter on her own!

He couldn’t bear to impose too heavy of a burden on her, but the apology could not be avoided.

Natalie glared at Cedric in frustration.

Meanwhile, Isabella had put on her headphones and was lying on her bed, enjoying her favorite music.

She had a habit of listening to gentle music when she slept. But due to her involvement with Christina,

she hadn’t done so in a long time.

It was a rare moment of peace tonight, so she would indulge!

Tue 17 meet her if that

She agreed

But in the next moment, Natale continuing The age ough night

Natalie couldn’t break free from Cedric’s grip. So, she stopped not far from Isabella’s door and said,

“Wait!

“What is it?”

“Fine. I’ll meet her if that’s what you want.”

At these words, Cedric’s expression softened slightly.

She…agreed!

But in the next moment, Natalie continued, “Have Yuvan bring the divorce agreement for you to sign

right

away, and I’ll go in. I’ll apologize however you want me to. I’ll even kneel if necessary!”
