Chapter 398 Luna Speaks Clearly

Irwin’s involvement with Isabella had only accelerated the breakdown of the marriage between Natalie

and Cedric.

Stephen’s face darkened at this realization.

While Irwin bore significant responsibility for the pain Natalie endured, there was some truth

to what he said.

Given Cedric’s demeanor towards Isabella at the time, even if it hadn’t been her…

His lifestyle was complicated, and another woman might have easily taken Isabella’s place.

After the party concluded, the entire staff at Lotus Villa buzzed with activity, hurriedly tidying

1. up.

Natalie had someone drive her back to Hillside Villa, where Luna eagerly awaited her.

Upon seeing Natalie, Luna giggled. She waved her chubby arms and rushed towards Natalie, dressed

only in a simple outfit and a diaper.

Natalie found Luna’s chubby legs utterly endearing as the child approached her.

“Mama! Mama!” Luna called out, trying to climb up Natalie’s legs.

While many claimed that little girls were more reserved, Natalie noticed that her daughter seemed

exceptionally energetic, especially now that she could walk steadily. From the moment. Luna woke up

in the morning, she would always be eager to explore.

“Miss,” a maid approached hesitantly.

“What is it?” Natalie asked.

“Ms. Luna accidentally broke the ornament in your room,” the maid replied, clearly anxious.

Natalie sighed inwardly. She had become accustomed to such news. The maid’s anxiety likely

stemmed from the ornament’s considerable value.

But no matter its worth, could Natalie really scold her own daughter?

Just be more careful next time,” Natalie responded calmly.

Relieved, the maid replied, “Yes, ma’am.”

Natalie then checked on her daughter. “Was Luna hurt?”

No. She’s fine the maid assured.

Knowing that her daughter was safe, Natalie felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. “Have you alreath

taken your bath, little moon?

“Ma Mommy,” the child called out more clearly this time, making Natalie’s smile even

broader.

She loved the sweet scent emanating from her child. After playing with her daughter for a while, Natalie

decided to take a shower.

When she emerged, she watched in amazement as Luna slid off the bed with surprising skill.

“You mischievous little girl” Natalie’s tone carried a mix of reprimand and tenderness.

It was undeniable that Luna had become adept at climbing up and down the bed. The bed here hadn’t

been modified to stop Luna, so Natalie might have to stay vigilant tonight to prevent any accidents.

Mommy! Milk!” Luna clung to Natalie’s leg, clearly seeking her out because she was hungry.

Natalie’s eyes brimmed with gentle warmth as she lifted the child into her arms. “Alright, let’s go feed

you.”

Luna’s tiny arms looped around Natalie’s neck.

After ensuring everything was in order, Natalie lay down with Luna. Despite doing nothing strenuous,

just attending the banquet had left her exhausted.

Not to mention, the staff at Lotus Villa would likely be equally overwhelmed.

A buzz interrupted the moment.

Glancing at Luna, who had just closed her eyes, Natalie quickly silenced her phone.

But moments later, it buzzed again.

It was Cedric.

“What do you want?” Natalie’s voice was low, laced with irritation.

If she could, she’d throw Cedric into the sea right now. The fact that she was deliberately speaking

softly made Cedric’s breathing heavier than usual.

“Who are you with?” His tone was interrogative. Before Natalie could reply, he continued, “Is it Caleb?”

Anger surged within Natalie.

How could he be so audacious after what he did to Clyde? Hadn’t he learned his lesson?!

What does it matter to you who I’m with? Haven’t you figured it out yet?” Natalie’s patience was

wearing thin

It didn’t matter who he assumed she was with. She was getting weary of this constant intrusion from

Cedric,

There was a heavy silence from Cedric’s end, and he felt like he was suffocating!

Natalie didn’t care and immediately hung up the phone.

However, not long after, the phone rang again.

Fed up, Natalie hung up once more.

Wasn’t the man supposed to be playing the role of a good father in Peach Garden? Why was he

pestering her at this hour?

It was infuriating!

The phone didn’t ring again.

Natalie thought that Cedric had given up.

But who would have thought that he would come to Hillside Villa?

The servant nervously told Natalie at the door, “Mr. Johnson said if you don’t see him tonight,. you’ll

regret it.”

Natalie felt her head pounding at this moment.

How did she end up with such a man?!

She shouldn’t have gotten involved with him in the first place!

Look at where that got her.

Breaking free from him felt as impossible as trying to pull apart superglue!

Finally, Natalie stood up.

She looked at the child on the bed. As there were no guardrails, Natalie fetched a blanket from the

closet to lay on the floor. Despite the carpeted flooring, she feared Luna might get hurt if

she fell

After ensuring everything was set, she donned her coat and headed downstairs. Cedric sat in the living

room with a chilling air around him.

When he saw Natalie, his eyes were sharp and unreadable.

Natalie sat across from Cedric and said exasperatedly, “Well? Why are you here?”

Was what he wanted too complex to discuss over the phone that he had come to her doorstep?

Cedric snuffed out his cigarette and glanced upstairs. “Is he upstairs?”

“Are you out of your mind?” Natalie shot back, knowing he was referring to Cale.

She was perplexed.

How much more of a reality check did he need?

“First Cly, now Caleb? What exactly do you want me to say about you, Cedric?”

Silence.

“Also, what right do you have to question me? You don’t have any right, do you?”

How dare he have such audacity to confront her like this? Especially at this hour?!

What did he think he was doing?

Did he think he was catching someone in the act in the dead of night?!

“Whether I have the right or not, you should read this document first and tell me!” Cedric retorted,

tossing a thick envelope towards Natalie.

Natalie eyed the hefty, parchment–sealed envelope. Even without opening it, she had a fair idea of its

contents.

Besides threatening her, what else did this man have up his sleeve?

Previously, he used Caleb.

What now?

“What? Afraid to look?” Seeing Natalie not moving, Cedric smirked.

Natalie’s eyes

darkened. She wished she could tear Cedric apart.

Finally, she reluctantly opened the envelope and took out the contents. She wanted to know what other

threats the man had resorted to!
