For years, Stephen had been avoiding the Entes family.
Avoiding them was one thing, and not getting involved was another.
But when the Entes family insisted on getting involved, it would inevitably lead to unimaginable
conflicts...!
No matter how she analyzed the situation, now was not a good time for her to divorce Irwin.
But what about her?
The Jarvis family didn't want to be involved with the Entes family. She and Irwin absolutely didn't want
to be involved either.
The air became tense!
Just as Natalie was about to say something, Irwin said, "At least wait until after this period, hmm?"
His tone still held endless indulgence.
Naturally, she knew what Irwin meant by waiting after this period. He was asking her to wait until the
dust settled within the Entes family.
But the Entes family's seal was missing now, and Frederick's whereabouts were also unknown. So, the
time it would take for the dust to settle within the Entes family... was actually indefinite!
No one knew who would ultimately find that seal.
But the position of the head of the Entes family wasn't just about that seal or that document.
There was also the support of these prestigious families!
So, this matter for now...!
Natalie looked at Irwin with a sharp and deep gaze. "Do you think the Jarvis family can't resist them?
"And are you saying you will?"
Would she?
Was the Entes family a vortex in which she would involve the Jarvis family?
The sound of clinking cutlery and utensils told everyone around her what kind of mood Natalie was in
right now, and Irwin laughed.
There was amusement in his laughter because he naturally knew Natalie's choice.
It was just that the reason for this choice was bitter.
While eating, Natalie asked, "What deal did you make with him?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Who?"
Irwin didn't immediately understand Natalie's sudden question, but realized what she was asking after a
moment.
Obviously, she was talking about Cedric!
"What do you think the deal between us was?" Irwin's tone was more bitter when he countered her
question.
"Who knows?" Natalie replied somewhat casually, but it was enough to show how cold she was.
"In your mind, are we always plotting?"
"You two do a lot of things, but it has nothing to do with me!" Natalie said.
The only thing that mattered was something Natalie found hardest to accept right now, and Irwin
seemed to have noticed.
Was this woman trying to cause trouble for him?
Irwin had to admit that she had succeeded in just that.
Looking at Natalie's indifferent attitude now, Irwin understood why Cedric felt trapped back then.
She couldn't accept it!
She was still talking to him now, but if it were Cedric, she probably wouldn't even bother to
acknowledge him, right?
Indeed!
Irwin had only done one thing to her, and that was enough for her to treat him with such an attitude.
So, what about Cedric?
With all the things he had done to her, it wouldn't be strange if Natalie never wanted to see him again.
Irwin took a deep breath and asked in a tense tone, "Nat, do you really hate him so much?"
Natalie raised her eyebrows at his question. She set down her cutlery and looked at the man across
from her. Her eyes deepened at this moment, and she smiled.
"What? Isn't this what you wanted to see?"
What he wanted to see?
Indeed!
It was what he had always wanted to see.
He wanted to see Cedric and Natalie reach this point, which he had planned long ago!
But when it really came to this moment, it felt suffocating!
Perhaps if he didn't know the truth about Blair, he could have felt better. He could repeatedly tell
himself that Cedric deserved all of it.
But it was different now!
Now, it was really different.
"Don't worry, he'll never appear in front of you again," Irwin looked at Natalie and said with a hint of
bitterness.
"Never?" Natalie asked.
"Yes. Never again!"
This statement weighed heavily.
Although Irwin and Cedric had fought for so many years, they had also been entangled for so many
years. The relationship they had before made it so that they understood each other enough.
In Irwin's memory, Cedric was such a proud person. How could he allow himself to show such a
wretched side to Natalie?
He wouldn't. He wouldn't allow it!
Natalie fell silent. The melancholy that flashed in Irwin's eyes made Natalie frown even more.
At this moment, she stared at Irwin without a word. No one knew what Natalie was thinking in her heart,
and her eyes were dark and cold.
The meal felt somewhat oppressive.
After dinner, when Natalie was about to return to Lotus Villa, Irwin said, "Three days."
"What?"
"I'll be here for three days. At least stay at Maple Peak during that time, okay?"
Natalie fell silent. The displeasure in her eyes was evident, and her face became even colder after she
heard Irwin's words.
"Don't go too far!"
Too far?
"The people from the Entes family are very sensitive. None of them are simple people. Since we've
decided not to give them any chance, enduring three days should not be difficult for you, don't you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthink?" Irwin explained.
"For me, every second spent with you feels suffocating!"
Natalie's tone was far from polite.
Irwin's already suffocating heart felt even more pained hearing Natalie's blunt words.
Was it suffocating?
It was!
He finally understood what Cedric meant when he said there was no way out in his relationship with
Natalie.
Cedric was having a miserable time in the darkness. Meanwhile, Irwin was beside Natalie.
However, he had to endure her coldness, leaving him nowhere better than Cedric.
"I've said what I needed to say. It's up to you to decide," Irwin said in the end.
Natalie fell silent.
As the man turned away, he gave off an air of desolation.
Natalie just looked at him coldly. Her gaze was colder than ice, devoid of any warmth she once had.
Her heart remained unwavering!
In the past, Natalie thought that only dead people lacked emotions!
Yet, she never expected to become so emotionless one day.
Just then, her phone vibrated. Natalie glanced at the caller ID to find that it was a call from Lotus Villa's
landline.
She answered, "Hello."
"Miss, Madam asks that you stay in Hillside Villa tonight and not come home to Lotus Villa."
"What happened?" Natalie's brow furrowed tightly at the news of not being allowed to return home.
After all, such a thing never happened in the Jarvis family. So, why were they telling her not to come
home now?
The servant on the other end of the line sighed. "Mr. Johnson's mother is here!"
Rebecca?
When Natalie heard that Rebecca had gone to Lotus Villa, her expression instantly turned cold.
