Chapter 261 He’s Here

That was…!

+15 BONUS

Surprisingly, it was..!

After a moment of confusion, Natalie’s eyes shimmered with a sharp, icy coldness–two years!

It had been a full two years.

Wasn’t he in Verde City prison?

Right, yesterday’s commercial event!

Natalie hadn’t expected him to react so quickly

“Ms. Walker.”

Leon also

Leon also recognized Cedric in one glance as the latter got out of the car in front of them.

Cedric was dressed in a black windbreaker. He had meticulously groomed short hair and sharp contour

lines. His eyes were especially piercing as he gazed at them.

There were noticeable changes from two years ago..

As the man walked towards her, Leon had already opened the car door to try and prevent Cedric from

approaching Natalie.

However, Kyle followed Cedric, who stood firmly in front of Leon.

“Ms. Walker, we…” Karina was somewhat startled by Cedric’s appearance.

For the past two years, they had been living in Simeria, Although Natalie would occasionally fly abroad.

their life trajectory over these two years had never been known to the Verde City side.

Natalie didn’t mention it because she was indifferent to all of that.

But the people around her often wondered what kind of scene it would be if Cedric knew about it.

However, for a full two years, Cedric didn’t appear in Natalie’s life, and Natalie was fine without him.

They thought that it wasn’t that Cedric didn’t know about Natalie being alive, but rather, because he

didn’t

want to face her!

However, who knew that Natalie’s career would soar to such great heights? It was to the extent that her

achievements gained attention from major financial circles, and she even received invitations for

+15 BONUS

Now, Cedric’s appearance made those around Natalie suddenly wake up from their dreams–it wasn’t

because Cedric didn’t want to face Natalie, but because he genuinely didn’t know she was still alive!

Now…!

Thud!

The car door was opened, and the man placed his broad palm on the door, his sharp eyes fixed on

Natalie

in the back seat.

He was silent, yet emitting a cold and dominant aura.

“Ms. Walker.”

Karina was usually calm and indifferent. But feeling how oppressive the air suddenly was, Karina pulled

Natalie slightly with a hint of worry.

Natalie looked at Cedric, and their eyes met.

One ice–cold and sharp, the other indifferent and fearless.

“How did you come out? Natalie asked coldly.

Yes, Cedric hadn’t gotten off lightly for his actions two years ago!

Who

would have thought that he would appear in front of her after only two years?

It seemed she had truly underestimated him.

“Don’t you think you owe me a reasonable explanation?” He didn’t directly answer Natalie’s question,

but

his lips curled up in a cold smile.

Natalie’s tone was indifferent, “An explanation? Haven’t you woken up yet?”

“Heh!” The man chuckled lightly.

That laughter… it was unclear whether it was mocking Natalie or himself.

Two years… These two years had been quite interesting. His world was in chaos, while she was

steadily

advancing towards the pinnacle of another path.

Natalie turned her head and Instructed her driver, “Drive and break through them!”

Her tone was firm and sharp, much like her current identity–clean, efficient, not susceptible to any

threats or control.

+15 BONUS

But the next moment, Natalie someone grab her arm. Before anyone could react, her world spun as the

man pulled her out of the car.

Natalie couldn’t even struggle before being placed under the man’s arm and shoved into his own car.

Natalie only heard Karina and Leon calling her name before the door was shut. The vehicle started and

left the place without any hesitation.

In the cramped space, the atmosphere was so icy that it felt solemn.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed, startling even Lucas in the front.

Cedric’s people were unused to Natalie’s presence now.

The reason why Cedric had been in prison for the past two years…

When they had investigated the eastern suburbs project and Winona’s incident, they discovered that

there

were some things Cedric wasn’t responsible for.

There were deeper forces at play behind the scenes…!

Yet, Cedric still refused to come out of prison…

All because of Natalie.

Even if there were doubts in the matters of the eastern suburbs and Winona’s incident, he… was still

bearing his own punishment wholeheartedly!

Two years.

Cedric had spent a full two years in prison, only to find out that Natalie was still in the world!

It was downright madness.

Natalie gained her freedom during that time.

Sitting on the side, she said coldly to the driver, “Stop the car,”

“He’s not one of yours!” Cedric reminded, also with a cold tone.

Did she really think these people were hers?

That they would obey her?

Cedric had to admit that she had changed during these two years. Something about her was different.

+15 BONUS

Two year.

Things had changed, people had changed, and it was enough to make significant alterations in life.

Natalie ignored Cedric

However, Cedric lifted her up and placed her in his arms in the next moment. Natalie struggled, but she

was firmly restrained.

“Do you want another slap?!”

The man’s sharp and playful eyes looked at her. His slender fingers caressed her jaw. “It’s okay, we

cant

settle everything together.”

The implication was clear–there were many accounts to settle between them!

How sho

How shameless of him!

Natalie slapped Cedric across the face, but the man showed no sign of anger.

On the contrary, there was a clear sense of pain–because

it was Natalie who delivered the slap. The paint

confirmed that she was living and breathing before him. It told him that it really was Natalie in front of

him!

His head rested on Natalie’s chest, firmly pressing her down and preventing any struggle. She was

petite

and easily controlled with just one hand

Besides being able to slap him, her stature left her powerless to do anything else.

“You lunatic, let me go!” Natalie was infuriated by his actions.

However, Cedric remained indifferent to her anger. He kept her restrained in his arms. Hearing her

strong heartbeat, a sense of satisfaction flooded his heart. He wanted to carefully listen to the clear

sound of

the little woman in his arms.

It turned out that a person’s heartbeat could be so enchanting.

Natalie was not taking this lightly.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t break free.

“This is great,” Cedric finally said after a long time.

Her being alive was truly wonderful!

This was the gift from heaven…!

+15 BONUS

He knew it. The heavens wouldn’t inexplicably make him remember his previous life and then be so

cruel

to him.

Natalie didn’t understand Cedric’s words. She didn’t appreciate this kind of contact and found it

uncomfortable.

In the midst of Cedric sinking into the joy of regaining her, she coldly remarked, “You’re not suited for

playing the role of a passionate lover.”

Cedric was speechless.

Playing the role of a passionate lover? Did she think he was acting?

Finally, he lifted his head from her chest, meeting her sharp and icy eyes. His heart skipped a beat. He

knew Natalie wouldn’t be pleased with him now, but he never expected her to turn into such a cold

person.

It was no longer a matter of having a cold attitude, she had become a person without warmth.

This kind of coldness originated from a hardened heart..!
