Chapter 397 Are You Angry?

“You’re a pig, Cedric! And not even one that’s cute like Ginger!”

Cedric may be a pig to Natalie, but he wasn’t even a cute one!

If Cedric were a pig raised in an ordinary household, he would undoubtedly be the most infuriating pig.

When Natalie mentioned Ginger, Cedric’s eyes instantly clouded over. It felt as if he had been transported back to Verde City.

Ginger!

He had gifted Natalie that tiny pig on one of her birthdays. Over the years, it remained the same size. It was perhaps the most joy Natalie had ever expressed over a gift.

And she… had never demanded much from him!

Somehow, Cedric found himself in the backyard after the conversation with Natalie. He saw Stephen seeing off the last of the guests.

Stephen’s expression darkened upon seeing Cedric.

Both exuded an unsettling aura, the evening’s events weighing heavily on Cedric’s mind.

“I understand your feelings for her, but you’re too extreme,” Stephen said in a deep and calm

tone.

While everyone else saw Cedric’s harshness towards Natalie, Stephen understood. Cedric felt helpless against Natalie’s cold demeanor. To him, it was as if a vast chasm separated them.

Meanwhile, Irwin and Natalie sat together.

Under the dim orange lights, the distant chirping of insects filled the air.

“I thought you’d never return to Simeria,” Natalie said, her voice tinged with restraint.

Given all that happened in Wexford over the years, Irwin’s recent manipulation left her feeling

uneasy

Obviously…!!

No matter the emotions involved, such manipulation was unforgivable.

Irwin glanced at her. Her tone was still gentle yet serious. Though soft–spoken, she appeared.
