A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 626 Truly

Hating Him

Cedric told Stephen that after he heard about the possibility from Edward, he made that decision.

He never thought of letting Natalie spend the rest of her life in darkness.

He would handle everything as quickly as possible and make her regain her sight quickly.

"He's punishing himself too!" Stephen finally said after a long time and sighed.

Heather fell silent, and her breath hitched at Stephen's words.

Was he punishing himself?

Undoubtedly...

Stephen was right. Cedric was punishing himself. He was atoning for the evils he had committed in that

way!

But his sins were so grave.

Could he be redeemed?!

After Cedric left, Luna came into the house. She hugged Heather tightly and said, "Grandma, I didn't

eat anything from the stranger just now."

"You're such a good girl, Luna," Heather praised.

As she listened to Luna's words, Heather felt a pang in her heart.

This was all Cedric's doing, the retribution he brought upon himself! No wonder no one pitied him.



He... was not worthy of pity at all!

But was it really so?

When Heather heard that Natalie might never see Luna again, she felt bitter!

Now, hearing that this might be the last time Cedric saw Luna, her heart...!

"When will Mommy come back, Grandma?"

Luna missed Natalie. A child's dependence on their mother was as natural as breathing.

"Very soon!" Heather replied.

"Grandma, who is my daddy?"

Heather fell silent. She already felt uneasy, and now she felt even more uncomfortable when Luna

asked this question.

Daddy... her daddy!

"Do you miss your daddy, Sweetie?" Heather asked, suppressing the pain in her tone.

When Luna was asked if she missed Daddy, she tilted her little head for a moment and then shook it.

"No!"

"Why?"

"Daddy doesn't love Mommy."

He didn't love her mommy?



That was right.

To Luna, her father had never been around since she could remember. It had always been just Natalie.

A child's heart was simple. When she saw Natalie's loneliness, she could only think it was because her

daddy didn't love her mommy.

"Luna."

"Daddy doesn't love Mommy, so I don't want him."

"Okay, I understand.."

Was it really okay?

Heather felt sorry for the child.

Luna couldn't articulate clearly in her tender years, but she was so understanding.

With Irwin in Yuloria, Natalie could contact her family. She called Heather and listened to Luna's voice

through the phone.

Also, Natalie became more receptive to the bitter medication she had to take.

"I thought Luna started to speak relatively late, but her words are much clearer than before," Natalie

remarked.

"She actually started speaking early," Irwin said.

To him, Luna's speech was quite clear for a child, with minimal baby talk. Luna also spoke earlier and

more clearly than Kayla.

Natalie picked up the medicine before her and drank it all in one gulp. As she put down the bowl, Irwin

offered her candy.

"Have a candy."

"No need, I'm used to it."

Was it bitter?

It truly was, and it caused tremors throughout her body. Yet, this bitterness was nothing compared to

the bitterness in Natalie's heart.

"Why punish yourself like this?"

Irwin saw Natalie's actions as her punishing herself. In his view, Natalie had done nothing wrong.

Why resort to such methods?

"I'm not punishing myself. I've just gotten used to it," Natalie replied.

It turned out that suffering could become a habit for a person.

Irwin remained silent, his gaze deepening as he looked at her.

"What's the situation like at Wexford now?" Natalie asked.

"Cedric has gone back," Irwin replied.

As for the scene after his return, Irwin didn't need to say anything much! Yet, as Irwin mentioned the

situation at Wexford, his gaze towards Natalie grew even deeper.

Before Natalie could speak, Irwin asked, "Do you really hate him so much?"



Irwin was referring to Cedric!

Natalie fell silent.

Hate? She truly did!

However, hatred also varied in intensity. She experienced both extremes with Cedric.

"I do."

"Do you hate him enough to wish him dead?" Irwin continued to probe.

Natalie fell silent again.

Did she wish for his death?

Yes, that was exactly it!

It turns out that when one loved someone, one could do so unconditionally. But when one hated

someone, one could harbor such intense hatred.

Wasn't that how Natalie felt about Cedric?

"Is there a problem?" Natalie's tone turned cold.

Obviously, she didn't like such topics. For Natalie, discussions about Cedric were too heavy.

"Do you also... hate me in the same way?" Irwin asked tensely.

"What do you think I should feel towards you?" Natalie replied.



What else should she feel toward Irwin and Cedric besides hate? Should she sing praises to them after

enduring countless torments and suffering?

She wasn't a saint.

Irwin looked at Natalie, the warmth of his palm covering her hand. But the next moment, Natalie

withdrew!

Her indifferent attitude showed how she felt about him.

Seeing her like this, Irwin felt somewhat hurt. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the emotions in his

heart.

"Whether you believe it or not, I've always known who you truly are."

He never treated her as anyone's shadow or substitute. While there were some similarities between

Natalie and Blair, those similarities were not enough to confuse them.

Apart from a slight resemblance in appearance, their personalities were completely different. Even their

smiles were distinct.

"Can we not talk about this?" Natalie requested.

Obviously, she didn't want to hear about it at all.

"Nat, you should let it go," Irwin replied gently.

"Whether it's toward me or him...!"

Irwin and Cedric had already paid the price for this matter.

Natalie stiffened at his words.



Was Irwin...?!

Undoubtedly, he wasn't just speaking for himself but also for Cedric!

He was actually making excuses for Cedric?!

Something felt off. The atmosphere surrounding Natalie wasn't right.

"What do you mean?" Natalie asked.

It felt somewhat hard to breathe now.

"We never mistook you for anyone else!" Irwin emphasized the "we" heavily.

Natalie felt suffocated.

Never?

"Why did you two conceal so much from me if you didn't?"

For so many years, she never knew!

She didn't know about Blair nor what Wexford meant to them. She thought she understood enough, but

she hadn't even delved into Cedric's world.

Now, Irwin was saying they never mistook her for anyone else...?
