A Divorce After My Rebirth
Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Clyde’s Past

When Natalie exited the kindergarten, Cedric was unexpectedly waiting for her outside.

Instinctively, Natalie hid Luna’s face in her embrace. Luna was exhausted after a morning of games

and had fallen asleep peacefully in Natalie’s arms.

That was good!

“I’ve already spoken to Caleb,” the man said, his tone unusually solemn as he gazed at Natalie.

If Natalie hadn’t been holding Luna, she might have lashed out at him right then.

What right did he have?!

Cedric saw Natalie’s expression darkened. Before she had a chance to respond, he continued, ” Nat,

Caleb’s family has been eagerly waiting for his…”

“As you wish,” Natalie interrupted before Cedric could finish his sentence.

Her gaze towards Cedric was icy, full of chill.

“You agree?” Cedric was taken aback by Natalie’s swift response.

He had observed her deep affection for the child in her arms, seeing how she cared for the child almost

every night.

He had thought she would disagree.

Who would have thought…!

However, Natalie’s next words shattered Cedric’s assumptions completely. “You want me to give the

child to Caleb and accept Isabella’s daughter? Cedric, do you really believe the issue is just about this

child?”

Was he naive?

Or simply unable to comprehend?

Natalie’s reluctance towards Kayla wasn’t solely about the child. It was about their intertwined past with

Isabella. She wouldn’t accept anything related to Isabella, nor would she accept Cedric.

Why couldn’t Cedric understand?

Cedric remained silent, attempting to gauge Natalie’s emotions.

Her words echoed loudly in his mind. Before he could react, Natalie continued, “As you wish,

I’ll provide the child with a complete family, but it won’t be with Kayla.”

Kayla?

There had never been a chance for Natalie to accept Kayla!

Cedric had oversimplified things, thinking that by removing Luna from the equation, Natalie would

accept Kayla.

But how could she ever accept Isabella’s child?

Cedric stared at Natalie, his voice escalating in urgency, “When I dropped her off at school

earlier, did you know how bitterly she cried when she saw you holding this child?”

“It’s none of my concern,” Natalie replied; her voice cold.

Indeed, as she stated, it was none of her concern

“Nat, how can you be so heartless? She’s just a child. Everyone says that if Kayla is here, there’s no

place for you and that if you’re here, there’s no place for her!”

“Isabella is gone, and Kayla is all alone in this world!”

“No one is stopping you from choosing her.”

“Why do you always…”

“Cedric, even without Kayla, there’s no possibility between us!”

Cedric remained silent, his mind buzzing and eyes locked onto Natalie. The danger in his eyes was

growing more intense, and it seemed like it was about to overflow.

Yet, Natalie seemed unfazed.

“As you wish, I’ll provide the child with a complete family. For Luna’s sake, I’ll marry Caleb.”

“You dare!”

“Why wouldn’t I…”

“Fine, I’ll tell the whole world what Clyde’s darkest side truly is!” Cedric sharply interrupted

Natalie’s words.

Natalie paused, her face instantly turning pale.

Reveal Clyde’s darkest side to the entire world?

Just the previous night, Cedric had stormed Hillside Villa in a frenzied state. He had

confronted her with Clyde’s most painful memories.

Without even needing to think, Natalie knew that those memories were Clyde’s deep scars and

traunia

What kind of backlash would Clyde face if Cedric were to expose them to the world?

“Cedric!” Natalie’s voice grew tense, staring at the man before her as if he were not human

but a malevolent curse.

“Do you even realize that someone with malicious intent orchestrated Kayla’s appearance in Simeria?

This entire thing is a conspiracy!”

“But she’s just a child!”

A conspiracy?

He already knew.

Kyle had delved deep into everything related to Kayla, presenting Cedric with the revelations about her

upbringing alongside Charlotte. Even the old maid, on her deathbed, had only then revealed to her who

her mother was and where she came from.

Isabella had given birth to Kayla, but there was no trace of her in Kayla’s memories.

“Do you realize she’s just a child? Should she die because of this conspiracy?” Cedric looked at Natalie

with disappointment.

The real culprits weren’t the children but the manipulators and schemers behind the scenes.

Natalie responded, “As I said, our issue isn’t because of this child. It’s not even because of my child

that I can’t accept her!”

“Then start thinking about how to accept her from now on.”

Natalie fell silent.

Her mind went blank!

The only thought in her mind was that Cedric was a lunatic through and through.

She hadn’t realized the extent of Cedric’s stubbornness, an inflexibility so deep it was

incomprehensible.

Her chest felt tight, and her breathing turned erratic. She tried unsuccessfully to suppress the weight

pressing down on her.

Undoubtedly, Cedric was pressuring her now.

He was even threatening her with Clyde’s past.

If she didn’t accept, who knew what would happen next?

Could he really carry out such threats?

Yes, he always did as he said!

After all, this man had never shown her any mercy.

Natalie couldn’t fathom how she managed to return to Lotus Villa with Luna. Just after handing the child

over to Heather, Clyde arrived,

Upon seeing Clyde, a hint of pain flickered in Natalie’s eyes, a sentiment she tried hard to

suppress.

However, Clyde keenly sensed it and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Bro.” Natalie approached, embracing Clyde.

The mere thought of those photos made Natalie feel suffocated. How had Clyde managed to bear the

weight of those memories?

How much pain had they inflicted upon him?

“What’s wrong?” Clyde held Natalie closer, his brows furrowing with concern.

Clearly, he sensed something was amiss with Natalie.

Taking a deep breath within Clyde’s embrace, Natalie murmured, “Those days… they were tough,

weren’t they?”

Those days!

What kind of days were they?

Ever since learning about her origins, Heather had often remarked on her good fortune to have found

Stephen’s own sister. This benevolent woman had provided Natalie with a good life, even until her last

moments.

Selena had been attentive to Natalie the entire time she was alive.

But Clyde’s luck, it seemed, had been entirely different from Natalie’s.
