A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Irwin's already suffocating heart felt even more stifled upon hearing Natalie's words.

Regardless of the role he played in Cedric and Natalie's lives in the past, he couldn't help but offer an

explanation for Cedric.

"Nat, the thing is...!" Irwin began.

"When I found out that both of you approached me because of Blair, do you know what was going

through my mind?" Natalie interrupted.

"Nat!"

"Nothing! My mind was blank!"

Indeed!

At that moment, Natalie's mind went blank, overwhelmed by tumultuous emotions that left her unable to

react. She couldn't bring herself to believe that everything was real!

How could it be real?

How could things turn out that way?

She couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe that things could be like that.

"For seven years, do you know how he treated me during those seven years?"

At this moment, instead of speaking of hatred, she spoke of love.

But was there love between them?

Now, looking back, even saying 'yes' felt ironic!

Natalie scoffed, "I thought he loved me very much! So when Isabella appeared, when Isabella touched

our relationship, I found it incredible."

Seven years!

How much did Cedric love her during those seven years?

Ever since he appeared in her world, it was as if he instantly reached out and pulled her out of the

quagmire. He was like a godly figure in her world, but who could have known that this existence was so

terrifying?

"Nat," taking a deep breath, Irwin moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.

Before he could speak, Natalie continued, "He waited for me to eat together every day. He personally

escorted me to the dormitory door every day."

"On holidays, he wouldn't go home! He stayed by my side, making me, who already had no family,

completely devoid of loneliness."

At that time, she had nothing!

But Cedric, with a strong presence, became like family to her.

Irwin felt suffocated!

He never imagined that Cedric was such a presence in Natalie's world.

Considering all of this...!

"He took me traveling, wherever I wanted to go, he took me there. Whatever food I wanted to eat, as

long as I mentioned it, he would find a way to get it for me."

This was what it meant to be attentive! That was the Cedric of those days.

From these words, Irwin could hear how sweet those seven years were between them.

Cedric truly cherished her.

Perhaps that's why, during the three years of marriage, no matter what grievances she faced, no matter

how the Jiang family treated her, she never thought of leaving Cedric. She silently endured everything

for him.

Even when rumors about Isabella and Cedric surfaced, she didn't cry or make a scene because she

always believed in him!

But in the end...!

When Isabella was attacked, and Cedric wanted to save Isabella with her own eyes, that was when she

finally erupted.

Not all love can withstand limitless harm.

"I never believed he would hurt me for another woman! It was only at Wexford that I realized I wasn't

the one in his heart."

"Nat."

"You're the same, aren't you?" Irwin's words were cut off again by Natalie's direct interruption.

"...,"

The same? Him?

"Time and time again, rescuing me from difficulties, it's not just about plotting against him, but because

of... Blair!"

The last two words, Natalie's tone turned cold.

"...,"

His heart instantly suffocated!

Wasn't it?

No, it wasn't because of that!

But in Natalie's analysis, he couldn't say anything. In her mind, all analyses were definitive.

Yes!

Natalie now believed that whether it was him or Cedric, their closeness to her was all because of Blair.

Even all the care shown to her was directed through her towards Blair.

"Irwin, remember, I am Natalie!"

"...,"

"Your kindness towards me won't be transferred to Blair!" Natalie's words were icy, each one colder

than the last.

"I know, I know!" Irwin's tone was bitter, tinged with a slight tremor.

He actually knew!

When did he know, and when did he come to terms with this reality, Irwin couldn't remember.

But he knew long ago that Natalie was not Blair. Yet even so, he sacrificed everything for her time and

time again.

"You knowing is good. I was afraid you wouldn't know!" Natalie's tone was biting.

"...,"

Even if he knew, Natalie couldn't forgive him now. This was Natalie now, yes, this was Natalie now.

"Still want to talk?" Natalie looked at him, her lips curling with a sarcastic smile.

Earlier, Irwin said they should talk!

Should they still talk?

"No!"

What's the point of talking now?

There was nothing left to discuss.

His heart was filled with a fine, dense ache.

Natalie smiled!

The sarcasm in her smile was thicker than ever.

Irwin remained silent.

Seeing Natalie's smile, stuck in his throat, neither coming up nor going down.

Before they could say anything, a figure appeared on the path, it was Clyde!

How... was he here?!

Seeing Clyde, Irwin furrowed his brows.

But the man was already on the wooden platform.

Natalie heard the footsteps, her brows furrowing, then relaxing the next moment. Irwin looked at her

change.

The ache in his heart grew stronger.

Perhaps that was why Cedric didn't wait! Because she was becoming more and more familiar with the

darkness!! And her growing perception only made it more suffocating for them.

The men locked eyes and nodded at each other.

Irwin glanced at Natalie. "Clyde's here.

"I know."

Those three words hammered Irwin's heart mercilessly.

She knew!

The familiarity was so bitterly ironic.

In the end, Irwin left.

Clyde approached Natalie, looking at the woman in the wheelchair, her eyes hollow, devoid of

expression.

But he couldn't help reaching out and waving his hand in front of her eyes.

"No need to wave, I really can't see!" Natalie said.

"You...!"

"Why did you come?" Natalie asked.

"I wanted to come earlier. When you were in Yuloria, I had planned to come," Clyde replied.

But Father didn't allow it!

Obviously, it was also giving Natalie and Cedric a chance. But they never expected this would be the

outcome.

"You'll see soon," Clyde said, looking at Natalie.
