Such words were not supposed to come out of Irwin's mouth, so why could he say such things now?
Natalie laughed!
She laughed because Irwin was shaking in anger.
She was laughing...!
Irwin was also furious. After all, men couldn't tolerate having what was theirs violated by anyone or
anything, could they?
"There was a ghost between Cedric and Isabella! Caleb will make things clear with Yvonne. How can
you compare our situations?"
It wasn't the same!
Back then, Cedric was constantly entangled with Isabella while still holding onto Natalie...!
That was the most distressing part.
The key point was that there were no such feelings between Natalie and Caleb. So, Natalie spoke in a
justified manner.
It was a reckless and irresponsible story that Natalie had made up.
Irwin was really having trouble breathing from anger! He had never experienced anything like this in his
life...!
These moments were usually reserved for Cedric, where Irwin would helplessly watch him endure blow
after blow.
Cedric was usually the one in this state, but now...!
Natalie was throwing all these retaliations back at him!
"You..." At this moment, Irwin looked at Natalie's indifferent demeanor and really didn't know what to
say to her.
After a long while, Irwin finally said, "Leave him, Nat. Don't force my hand!"
His statement was heavy and dangerous.
Natalie sensed the threat in the man's words. She looked at Irwin and said teasingly, "What if I don't?"
Nobody had spoken to Irwin like this, so Natalie was undoubtedly challenging Irwin's extremes and
bottom line. When the man looked at her again, there was endless danger in his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIrwin asked, "What do you think I would do?"
What would he do? A man who could scheme against someone for ten years showed just how extreme
his character could be.
"Are you threatening me?" Natalie asked.
"I don't want..."
No, he didn't want this.
He hadn't expected this situation before, nor had he anticipated that Natalie would prepare such a
major "gift" for him upon her return to Simeria.
So, what was this now?
"You better stop thinking about it."
Natalie's tone was dark, and the danger within it became more evident. After a moment, she added, "If
anything happens to him, I won't let you off the hook!"
"So, you're threatening me for Caleb's sake?" Irwin asked.
When he spoke, his tone was calm. However, anyone could tell what lied beneath those words.
"Yes," Natalie affirmed.
This feeling... was hurt, right?
Irwin was feeling hurt right now because of Natalie's words.
Yes! He clearly felt the pain of being torn apart inside. It was a pain he had never expected to
experience.
However, Natalie was completely indifferent to him. There was no warmth or concern in her gaze for
him.
There was only endless coldness.
-
Somehow, they managed to make it to Maple Peak without further incident.
"I don't live here!" Natalie stated.
"It's late, don't go back," Irwin said.
"Do I need to remind you why we're married, Irwin?" Natalie's tone was icy.
"I don't need reminding. I'm well aware," Irwin replied. There was more than restraint in his tone.
Dylan got out of the car and stood a short distance away, watching the two. If it weren't for Irwin's deep
affection and persistence, could he endure this emotion?
Perhaps, even with Blair, Irwin never showed such patience!
It was no wonder Cedric stopped interfering with Irwin and Natalie when he decided to let go of her in
the end!
Wasn't Irwin treating Natalie sincerely now?
It was because he was sincere that everything that happened tonight was so hard to bear.
Irwin turned around and gave Natalie a meaningful look. "I'll be leaving tomorrow."
Irwin had completely suppressed his emotions throughout the journey, leaving only his endless
helplessness towards Natalie.
"Is she here?" Natalie asked, referring to Rebecca.
Irwin hesitated.
Seeing Irwin's reaction, Natalie smiled. "Hah...!"
Irwin knew what Rebecca had done to her previously, and he knew what Natalie thought of the older
woman.
So, what was he doing?
"I really don't know what kind of deal you've made with him!" Natalie said.
Was it part of his plans? That even Cedric's mother was involved now? And it seemed like he got along
well with Rebecca.
Natalie really had no words for this situation.
Irwin took a deep breath and said, "Just for one night!"
"Do you think I can coexist in the same space as her?" Natalie asked sharply.
Even when she was married to Cedric and had endured so much for him, she never stayed overnight
at the Johnson Manor.
Not once.
In Natalie's world, regardless of the disparity in status or how much she tried to please others...
Natalie had her limits. She had her own uncompromising standards.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You can't treat her like this!" Irwin said firmly.
"What are you saying?"
Was he serious?
He had been saying the same thing countless times since last night.
Why couldn't she?
She didn't understand why Irwin was saying such things.
Irwin's gaze intensified as he continued staring at Natalie.
At this point, whenever the topic of Rebecca arose, there was no way they could agree on anything.
Natalie turned around. "Mr. Warren, please take me back."
With that, Natalie headed straight to the car.
When Dylan saw this, he looked at Irwin uneasily, especially when Natalie had already gotten into the
car.
It was obvious he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
When Dylan didn't follow her into the car, Natalie opened the door and got out.
"It's okay, I can walk back. I wouldn't want to inconvenience you, Mr. Warren."
Wim that, sne started walking out ot me area.
As she walked, she remarked, "When I couldn't see, nobody gave me trouble. Now thai I can see, I
can't even ask Tor help?"
Irwin's chest Telt even tighter upon hearing Natalie's words. He couldn't help but stiffen.
"Dylan," Irwin called.
"Yes, sir?"
"Take her back," Irwin instructed.
He realized that regardless oT what happened, Natalie would leave tonight...
Because Rebecca was here.
