A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 713 What Did Disowning His Family Bring? An hour later, Natalie arrived at Maple | Peak.

When she saw Rebecca, her eyes shimmered with gloom...! Unexpectedly, Irwin had allowed Rebecca to stay at Maple Peak. But thinking about it, Rebecca herself likely didn't want to leave Simeria.

Upon seeing Natalie, Rebecca's eyes turned icy.

Undoubtedly, Rebecca hadn't received any news from Cedric.

"I didn't expect you to bear Ced's daughter," Rebecca said as she set down her cup, her tone involuntarily

tightening, Natalie didn't say a word, and the coldness in Rebecca's eyes intensified.

Then, Natalie smiled coldly. "What? Are you angry that you couldn't kill the child before she was born?" Rebecca trembled at Natalie's words.

She seemed to recall something distant, and a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes. Looking at Natalie, endless pain filled her gaze.

The hatred in Rebecca's eyes shattered and was replaced entirely with something indescribable.

For along time, Rebecca could say nothing in the face of Natalie's coldness.

Finally, she turned away from Natalie

and asked, "Tell me, where is he?" Even after all these days, Rebecca still seemed to believe that no one else but Natalie knew where Cedric was.

Irwin's people were also searching.

But with so much time passed, and there was still no news. Rebecca could do nothing but wait.

Irwin said he wanted to take her to Wexford, but no matter what was said, she didn't want to go.

Because she always believed Natalie must know where Cedric was.

"I already said I don't know!" Immediately after Natalie answered her question, Rebeeca's gaze sharpened, and she suddenly asked, "Natalie, haven't you never suspected

anything? "What?" Suspected? What did she need to suspect? "I heard that Ced took you to Yuloria before this to see Mr. Larkin. You were completely blind then, right?" "How did you get the cornea transplant? Why was there one coincidentally available for you? Didn't it seem like everything had been arranged in advance?" Did Natalie really not suspect anything about that?" When Rebecca finished speaking, Natalie glared sharply at her.

It was as if Natalie wanted to devour her! "Cedric disappeared after your surgery.

Didn't you have any suspicions about that?" Rebecca asked.

"About what?" Natalie sneered coldly.

Rebecca fell silent.

"Did you want me to suspect that the eyes I received were from Cedric?" It seemed like Rebecca was obsessed with getting news about Cedric until she had gone truly insane.

She hadn't changed at all! She could do or say anything to get what she wanted.

Natalie looked at her coldly, and it made Rebecca's heart ache.

After a long stretch of silence, Natalie finally said, "Cedric... Hah!" It felt like Natalie had heard the most incredible joke.

Wasn't it a joke? It really was! How could a man who wanted her dead do such a thing for her? "I'm just analyzing the situation-" "Your analysis is ridiculous!" Natalie sharply cut off Rebecca's words.

If Blair and Isabella didn't exist, perhaps Natalie might have believed Rebecca's words.

Unfortunately, there were no 'perhaps' or 'ifs'.

| Isabella's existence made her feel so

vulnerable emotionally. And when she learned about Blair's existence...

Natalie realized she was just a joke.

Wasn't she just a joke? "I warn you, don't come near my daughter again. That child has nothing to do with Cedric...!" "Natalie!" Rebecca's tone tightened.

When she looked at Natalie, her eyes were full of hatred.

That hatred was mixed with endless pain! "How could you be so heartless?" Indeed! Heartless.

i

Especially when Rebecca heard Natalie speak so coldly, Rebecca felt she was | truly heartless. ; | After all, it had been so many years.

How could Natalie say such things so indifferently? And when Rebecca called her heartless, Natalie's smile... widened.

Heartless? "Do you even understand that he's missing?! We don't even know whether he's dead or alive!" Rebecca exclaimed, emphasizing heavily on the last part of her sentence.

In everyone's view, the fact that Cedric left Wexford with all of his people was already strange.

This wasn't just a simple disappearance.

To put it bluntly, no one knew if Cedric was still alive or not.

Yet, Natalie was still so cold when faced with such uncertainty.

It made Rebecca really want to know what was inside Natalie's heart.

Was Natalie's heart made of stone, with no warmth whatsoever? No, her heart wasn't even as good as stone! Even if it were stone, it should hold some warmth after so many years of affection, right? But what about Natalie...? Even though it was unclear if Cedric

was alive, Natalie displayed such indifference and uttered such callous words! — Natalie looked at Rebecca. "You said I'm heartless?" She didn't respond to Rebecca's latest words.

Rebecca fell silent. At Natalie's words, the older woman tensed up! She looked at Natalie with trembling lips.

In Rebecca's eyes, there was more than just hatred...! ""Are you saying you're not?" Rebecca countered.

What was with Natalie's attitude? Why? Why was it that Natalie could face

Cedric's situation with such coldness? How could she remain unmoved even after Rebecca said they didn't know if Cedric was still alive? What kind of person... and what kind of heart could they have to achieve such coldness?! "Perhaps you're right," Natalie responded calmly.

Perhaps she really was heartless.

But what about Cedric? Wasn't he heartless too? Back then, Cedric's actions were outrageous.

Even now, Natalie felt a chill running down her spine whenever she thought

about it.

You have no idea... You have no idea what he was like after the detention center caught fire!" a ""Natalie, you know nothing! What right do you have to hate him? He didn't do anything wrong to you. What did he get in return for disowning his family for you?" Thinking of the time when Cedric went against his entire family to marry Natalie, Rebecca's heart ached even more.

For Natalie, he could give up everything.

But what about Natalie? And when Natalie heard Rebecca say

Cedric disowned his family for her, she laughed even more! At that time, she was truly moved. She also thought Cedric had disowned his family for her.

But in reality? Without Blair, Natalie was nothing in his world.

Looking back now, Natalie wished she had never walked into Cedric's life.
