Chapter 783 He's on His Way Back Austin was right.
Regardless of her innermost feelings, Natalie resolved to confront every aspect of her later life seriously.
For the next two days, Natalie was almost always with Austin. They were selecting wedding gowns, formalwear, and even clothes for Luna.
Throughout the process, Austin held Luna in his arms.
She can walk on her own for a while," Natalie said as she tried to take Luna from Austin's arms.
However, Austin discreetly avoided her and said, "Little girls should be pampered."
"Luna." "Mommy, I'm tired!" Luna murmured and clung to Austin's neck.
Natalie was speechless, and her expression darkened. Austin instinctively pressed Luna's head against his shoulder, preventing her from seeing Natalie's sinking expression.
"Let's go." "You're spoiling her," Natalie said. She couldn't help but feel exasperated at his words.
After spending these two days together, Natalie realized that Luna seemed to really like Austin. Was it because Luna had never had a father by her side since she was little? After all, Luna's birth father had done
such things to her.
When she thought about this, Natalie couldn't help but feel heartbroken because it was already too late to change anything.
They had lunch outside.
"Uncle Austin, I want that." Luna didn't hold back when talking to Austin. What surprised Natalie was that Austin seemed to be very good at dealing with children. He personally took care of Luna the whole time, so Natalie hardly needed to intervene.
And Luna...
Natalie once said that it didn't matter if no father was in the picture. She would simply love Luna even more.

Upon observing how much Luna relied on Austin, Natalie came to the . . 1 \ conclusion that Luna required a complete family.
After lunch, Austin sent Natalie and Luna back to Hillside Villa. Bianca had been visiting often lately, and her mood had greatly improved since Zane returned.
n ~ 4 175) i me! Have you chosen the wedding gown! Bianca asked.
"Yes." Natalie nodded.
Luna was playing with a puzzle nearby, seeming to really enjoy it.
"Was it really just a chance encounter at the airport?" When Natalie told Bianca what Austin
had said, Bianca was quite shocked.
\ It was clearly love at first sight.
Austin had remembered Natalie's eyes for so many years.
What kind of attraction was that? Thinking of this, Bianca couldn't help but look closer at Natalie's eyes. They were indeed beautiful.
But wasn't it an exaggeration for a man to remember a woman's eyes for years and remain attracted to her? "Alright, stop staring at me like that." Natalie felt a little uncomfortable under Bianca's gaze.
"Maybe this is better for you." "What do you mean?"
"At least he didn't approach you with an ulterior motive. Cedric and Irwin had their own reasons for approaching you. Then, Cedric hurt you for Isabella's sake because he owed Ivan a debt of gratitude." That was true.
Didn't Cedric repeatedly protect Isabella because of Ivan? These external factors that influenced their actions truly drove people crazy! "Don't worry. Lord Austin has already denied having any hidden agenda," Natalie said.
"And that's why this might be your best decision yet," Bianca said reassuringly.
Gratitude was not affection. Once it was repaid, who knew what it would be
like? But truly liking someone was different.
"When I came, Zane told me Cedric was already on his way back." Natalie flinched at Bianca's words.
"How come you know everything?" "We may not understand how men think, but if they want to know something, they'll find out much faster than us," Bianca said.
Natalie fell silent.
"If you still had feelings for Cedric, you would have been the first to know his whereabouts." So, why didn't Natalie know? It was because she no longer paid attention to any news about Cedric. She
didn't care.
"Let him do what he wants." "Aren't you worried at all?" "What would I be worried about? That he'd take Luna from me?" Could he even do that? Bianca was speechless. She felt that Natalie was truly forgiving in some aspects.
"Is Kayla coming back too?" Natalie asked.
"It doesn't seem like it. She's at an age where she attends school now, right? I doubt he would change her school out of the blue like that." "That's true." Natalie nodded.
"But it's impossible to deny that she's
Cedric's daughter now." Even though she was just a 1 stepdaughter, Cedric would raise her until she was an adult.
Natalie fell silent.
Bianca was right. Ultimately, Kayla was now Cedric's daughter.
Just as they were about to continue chatting, Natalie's phone rang.
She answered it. "Hello?" "Cedric is on his way to Hillside Villa." Clyde's voice sounded serious from the other end.
At these words, Natalie subconsciously glanced at Bianca. They just said Cedric was returning, but now it seems he's already been to Lotus Villa "Alright, I got it," Natalie responded
calmly, as if she didn't care at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Is Lawrence with you?" Clyde asked. 1 "Yes, he is." Was Clyde afraid that Cedric would hurt her? She hung up and said to Bianca, "He's already on his way here." "So soon?" Bianca was quite shocked. Obviously, she didn't expect the man to come back so quickly. It was clear that Natalie's sudden marriage news had also startled him.
Why did he come back? Was it to stop Natalie? And even if he did, would he be able to stop her? With Natalie's current temperament, it
was unlikely that anyone could stop her.
"Do you need me to stay here with you?" Bianca asked.
""No need. You can go back first." "Okay." Ultimately, this matter was between Natalie and Cedric. Even if outsiders were present, it would only accelerate the deterioration of the situation.
Not long after Bianca left, Cedric arrived.
The man was full of hostility. Natalie saw the anger in his eyes when he took off his sunglasses.
It seemed like he had completely recovered.
Well, that wasn't surprising.
It was impossible for a man like Cedric to spend his whole life in darkness.
Although he claimed to be punishing himself, it was only a fleeting thought.
Once he felt he had atoned enough, he would revert back to his normal state.
Now, he was acting freely.
Lucas and Kyle followed Cedric closely.
When they saw Natalie, their brows furrowed.
Neither of them had expected the reunion between Natalie and Cedric to happen like this.
Cedric sat across from Natalie.
For a long time, neither of them spoke.
Natalie picked up her tea and drank elegantly. Finally, Cedric broke the silence. a "You regained your sight through surgery. You shouldn't drink such strong teas."
