Chapter 845 Unrealistic . Expectations 2 Cedric looked at Rebecca and slowly said, "She's just a child..." This time, Rebecca understood! He was talking about Kayla.
"But she's Isabella's daughter!" Rebecca had never felt so powerless.
No, when Cedric insisted on marrying Natalie back then, her attempts to stop him were equally futile. And now, facing Cedric's attitude toward Kayla, she... felt equally powerless! "Get her out of Phoenix Villa. I don't care that you want to raise her anymore. Just don't do it here!" At this moment, this was Rebecca's final concession,
| She realized that Cedric would never give up on Kayla, no matter what he was going | through or how he felt about Natalie and Luna.
"Cedric, I'm warning you! Stop having delusions about them living together! It will never happen!" Rebecca said.
Indeed.
Expecting Natalie and Luna to live together with Kayla was completely impossible, and Rebecca hoped Cedric would understand that.
At Rebecca's words, Cedric closed his eyes and said nothing further.
Living together? He had never considered it, All he wanted... was always Natalie! He pursued her across lifetimes just to find her! But now,,,!
He seemed to understand clearly that he couldn't find her. Natalie was trying | every possible way to escape from him.
Even if he managed to find Natalie now...
Even if he found her, what was the use?! | All he would get is her endless evasion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter finally finding her in Dawnvale, she left again! He didn't know when it started, but wherever he was, Natalie wouldn't choose to stay. To Natalie, Cedric was like a plague in her life. Wherever he was, Natalie wouldn't accept his presence.
It seemed like she couldn't even accept them breathing the same air anymore.
When did their relationship... become like this? Everything had completely changed! Even if he pursued her across lifetimes, what was the point? It was useless. He had explained everything, and Natalie
| knew what had happened in the last life.
But even knowing all that, she still "couldn't forgive Isabella or him! Even knowing all that, Natalie still married Austin, indicating the extent to which those things affected her.
Those pains and hurts seemed to have been ingrained in her bones, making it impossible for her to forgive in this lifetime.
"Daddy." Rebecca had left. Clearly, she didn't want to see Kayla. So, until Cedric dealt with Kayla, she wouldn't return to Phoenix Villa.
At this moment, Kayla looked at Cedric with big, watery eyes, just like Isabella used to do years ago.
It was with this same gaze that she looked at him!
And at that time, he had given Isabella a job.
Everything started with a look, and now...! "Kayla." "Daddy, please don't drive me away." Kayla burst into tears instantly.
The days were tough during this time, but Kayla found solace in being by Cedric's side. Only when Cedric was present did those people not dare disrespect her.
Once she was out of Cedric's sight, the people around her would show their hypocritical faces again, and she detested those faces.
Cedric rubbed his aching temples and remained silent.
This was the first time he had reacted this way.
In the past, Cedric would always promise
| to protect her whenever she said such words.
"For the first time since becoming her father, Cedric was silent when faced with Kayla's pitiful state.
Suddenly, a thought flowed into his mind.
"He pitied everyone in the world, but he had overlooked the one who suffered the most because of him—Natalie.
Whenever Isabella got hurt, he was there! But in the end? What had he done when Natalie was hurt? Yes, he had protected her. But ultimately, the balance finally shifted.
Why? Why did the balance tilt towards the other side of Natalie then? Why did it have to be like that? He... thought of those schemes.
| How many times had Isabella schemed in front of him? Eventually, those schemes | continued until... Natalie left him! He lost everything because of those schemes.
He lost Natalie! At this moment, Cedric realized everything. It was all because of the deviations of his own actions! How could he? How could he protect anyone other than Natalie?! "Daddy?" Seeing Cedric's silence, Kayla's gaze became even more cautious, her heart pounding in her throat.
And at that moment, Cedric met Kayla's pitiful gaze and understood everything! He was wrong... He was still wrong! Even though his mother was harsh, what she said was true! What had he done to Natalie?!
| In the face of those schemes and so much hurt, even if Isabella ended up losing her | sight for Natalie's sake...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie still couldn't forgive anyone, could she? Because in that period, she endured too much pain. She had experienced so much that she had lost the ability to forgive anymore.
And there was no turning back from that! Natalie once asked him, "How far can you go for Isabella?" In other words, it meant how much he could hurt her for Isabella's sake...! Thinking of all these things, Cedric's heart... was torn apart mercilessly.
"Nat "n Cedric finally understood. The question that had troubled him for so many years was now crystal clear at this moment.
Kayla heard Cedric calling Natalie's name, and the pitifulness in her eyes | turned into tears. "Daddy!" There was grievance and fear in her tone.
Cedric had always fallen for this, but now...
When he looked at Kayla, endless calmness and coldness flickered in his eyes, and Kayla's heart leapt into her throat at such a gaze.
Though she was a young child, she was mature for her age. Her surroundings were always turbulent, and she understood many things because of it.
She understood even more what Cedric's current gaze truly meant.
"Daddy, are you going to make me leave?" she said, tears streaming down her face.
"Kayla, n
"paddy," Kayla muttered pitifully "You haven't done anything wrong," "Cedric said.
That was right! Kayla had done nothing wrong. The only mistake she made was being Isabella's daughter! And this kind of mistake was not one she could choose.
When he thought of this, the pain in Cedric's heart became even more suffocating.
"Daddy." "But you have to leave!" Kayla fell silent.
At this moment, Cedric's tone was firm.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything for you so you don't have to worry about your future," Her future?
But what about now? Kayla's eyes were filled with fear and "tears.
