So, how did any of that compare to what Cedric was enduring now?Natalie glanced at the elegant watch on her wrist. "If you have nothing else to say, Mr. Johnson, you can leave now. Go back and cherish what you're about to lose!" With a smirk, Natalie rose, her satisfaction evident.And Cedric just watched her. His chest felt like it had been torn open and was bleeding.Natalie's departure was graceful yet icy."Cedric, don't blame me at this point. You and Irwin are both despicable people to the core.""...""People like you have no right to hate anyone."With that, Natalie left!What kind of relationship existed between Irwin and Cedric? Their attitude toward her was nothing short of a joke.As Cedric watched Natalie's disappearing figure, he wanted to say something but found himself speechless.His phone buzzed. It was Irwin. "Hello?""The situation might be worse than you think," Irwin said with equal seriousness.The news Cedric received now was already dire. But
Irwin felt like Cedric's words had knocked the wind out of him! When they parted ways, Cedric had vowed to take Kayla into seclusion, completely withdrawing from Natalie's world. But Natalie's tragedy had begun because of their scheming! So neither of them had the right to talk about love, nor did they have the right to be with her...!They had both let go. Why did things end up like this because of Kayla's illness?!"If I were her, I'd want to strangle you!" Irwin's voice came through the phone, each word dripping with anger.Cedric stayed silent. Irwin would feel the same if he were in Natalie's position?Yes, anyone pushed to this extent would react similarly, so Natalie's actions in Wexford weren't hard to understand.Beep!Just as Cedric was about to say something, Irwin hung up, obviously not wanting to continue the conversation. Further discussion would only stoke more fury.Upon hearing the dial tone, Cedric felt like his world had truly fallen apart. Everything he
Bianca looked at Malcolm as if she was staring at a fool. After all, the Malcolm she knew wouldn't do something like this. But now? Malcolm saw Bianca's strange expression and felt a rising tension in his heart. "What's wrong?""Are you okay?" Bianca asked. She even reached out and touched the man's forehead, treating him like a fool.Malcolm was speechless, and his anger started to boil!Bianca tried to open the car door to get out, but the next moment, she felt a force on her wrist as Malcolm held her tightly."I'll handle everything. I know there's no turning back with Nancy's situation, but I'll sort out the mess with Seraphine!"Malcolm's tone softened when he mentioned Nancy. Bianca turned back, looking somewhat surprised at Malcolm. She pursed her lips without saying a word, but her silence made Malcolm's heart leap into his throat."I promise there won't be such incidents in the future!" Malcolm said.Bianca frowned. She clearly felt that Malcolm seemed like a differ
The doctor arrived promptly. Bianca's face turned pale, obviously due to her upset stomach, and she couldn't eat anything anymore.Feeling somewhat guilty, Bianca glanced at Carol, who had been busy all morning. However, Carol understood Bianca's thoughts and shook her head. "I'm not overworked."Bianca said, "It might be because I've been eating too well these past few days, and it upset my stomach."Carol and Curtis fell silent. Both looked at Bianca in disbelief. So, according to Bianca's explanation, she used to not eat properly, and now that she was eating well, her stomach couldn't handle it?Curtis looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes.The doctor came over, listened to Bianca's condition, and conducted a simple examination along with relevant tests. Then, he gave Curtis a solemn look. This was the Holly family's family doctor, Stanley Channing."What's wrong?" Curtis's heart leaped into his throat when he saw Stanley's grave expression. Obviously, Curtis did
Natalie took a deep breath. "If he finds out later about something he doesn't know now, things will spiral out of control!"So, whether Bianca wanted this child or not, Natalie thought that Malcolm should at least know about it.And when Bianca heard this, her heart felt a bit choked up. She had to admit Natalie was right. "Okay, I'll do as you say.""After all, we're all adults here.""Yeah."Bianca understood.-Meanwhile, Malcolm, upon returning to the villa, went straight to Seraphine.Since she arrived, Malcolm had never sought her out, but now her face was all smiles."You finally agreed to see me," she said.Though they had been living under the same roof for days now, Malcolm had always avoided her.It was a rare sight for him to seek her out!Malcolm said, "Speak. What are your terms?"Seraphine hesitated.At his words, her face paled a bit, and she looked at Malcolm. "What do you mean by terms, Lord Malcolm?!"What terms?Was he trying to drive her away? Was
On Bianca's side, her whole world was in chaos. Curtis took a long time to digest the sudden news before glancing at Bianca. "What's your plan?" He didn't ask how the child came about or make any serious accusations. Instead, he inquired about Bianca's current plan.Yes, this matter was urgent! Although it was sudden and confusing, the decision had to be made.Bianca looked at Curtis. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but at this moment, she couldn't find the words. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Nat said whatever decision I make is right."Natalie?Hearing her mention Natalie, Curtis couldn't help but sigh again. Their relationship was really good. It seemed like now, no matter what happened, Bianca would confide in Natalie."And what about you?" Despite whatever Natalie might have said, Curtis was most interested in Bianca's thoughts."I don't want this baby!" Bianca said without hesitation. At that moment, she thought about Natalie and Cedric. It wa
The atmosphere, already tense and icy, became even more charged with danger as Bianca remained steadfast in her resolve. Malcolm's gaze bore down on her oppressively, as if he could somehow will her to comply. However, Bianca remained unfazed."Not possible?""That's right, it's not possible!" Bianca's tone was resolute.Malcolm's eyes flashed dangerously."If anything happens to the child in your belly, I'll make sure everyone around you pays the price!"All eyes in the cafe turned towards them. Seraphine, who had originally thought Bianca was trying to seduce Malcolm, now watched with shock and confusion. Bianca was pregnant...!What about her? What was she going to do?The sound of water splashing and the cup hitting the table echoed as Bianca threw the water from her cup at Malcolm without hesitation. Her anger was palpable.Malcolm watched her with a dark intensity, his eyes filled with a menacing gloom. Bianca grabbed her bag and stormed towards the exit. "Stop right
After returning to the villa, Bianca found Curtis already there. Unlike before, there was a faint worry in his eyes when he looked at her, especially when he noticed her less-than-rosy complexion."How did the conversation go?" Curtis inquired.Bianca hesitated.Talking to Malcolm was one thing, but being asked about it now? Her expression darkened even further.Observing his daughter’s demeanor, Curtis probably had a good idea of how it went even without her saying anything."Shall I arrange things for you?" he offered.Bianca nodded without hesitation. "Yes."Unlike Malcolm, Bianca's thoughts on this matter were more mature. And anyway, she had expected Malcolm's reaction today, so she didn't let it bother her."What would you like to eat later? I'll have Carol prepare it for you," Curtis said.Bianca paused. What did she want to eat?She found herself at a loss. Before, she could have listed off a multitude of dishes she desired, but now, even if she saw something appetizi
