Chapter 341 Irwin Being Gentle Again
In Hillside Villa, the dim lights created an eerie sense of quietness.
Natalie’s phone vibrated, and she glanced at the number.
It was Irwin.
That man…!
She answered in a flat tone, “Hello.”
At this moment, Malcolm’s words suddenly flashed in Natalie’s mind.
He had told Natalie never to try to manipulate a man who was heartless and didn’t love her, and then
he
had named Irwin as an example!
Although Malcolm wasn’t a good person, she had to admit his words were true.
Irwin treated her with utmost tenderness, but she had never seen genuine love in his eyes.
“I’m downstairs.”
Natalie was momentarily stunned.
She stood up, walked to the French window, and saw Irwin’s imposing black G–Wagon parked beside
her
car.
He wore a black windbreaker, exuding elegance and clarity.
“I’ll be right down,” Natalie said and hung up the phone.
She turned around and grabbed her coat, throwing it over her pajamas. Then, she slipped on her
slippers
before going downstairs.
Lydia was busy in the living room, and Irwin didn’t come in.
Lydia was surprised when she saw Natalie coming down. “Miss, what are you…”
“I’m not going out.”
“Oh, then…?”
“Irwin’s here. You can carry on with what you were doing.”
Natalie was calm. She knew that ever since Cedric forced her to drive that night, people here would be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf she drove at night, they would definitely get into trouble with Heather.
When Lydia heard it was Irwin, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In these years, everyone in the Jarvis family knew how much Irwin cared for Natalie.
It also seemed that they had reached the stage of discussing marriage, but something happened that
caused them to stop.
Afterward, Natalie and Irwin acted as if nothing had happened between them.
Irwin was leaning against the car and smoking while he waited. When he caught sight of Natalie, he
dropped the cigarette butt and extinguished it.
Natalie momentarily felt strange when she noted Irwin’s subconscious concern for her.
She approached Irwin and asked, “Why are you here at this hour?”
It was already ten o’clock at night.
Irwin habitually grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. With one hand, he caressed her cheek
tenderly.
From a distance, this scene was beautiful and ambiguous.
Irwin had been distant lately, and now he was tender towards her. Natalie instinctively stepped back.
But in the next moment, the man’s large hand on her wrist settled on her delicate waist.
like this!?” Before Natalie could speak, Irwin said, “Are you still not used to being in contact with me like
this!?”
“Irv.”
“It’s ridiculous. Is Lord Malcolm someone you can casually provoke?”
Natalie was silent.
In the man’s soft tone, there was a hint of reproach.
The small sense of resistance in Natalie’s heart grew stronger at his words. Despite Irwin’s apparent
gentleness, she could sense… something dangerous in him right now.
In the past, she always unconsciously maintained a certain distance when interacting with Irwin.
But after what happened at the airport…
Yves‘ firm attitude back then made her more aware that Irwin was more complex than she thought!
Even though they had known each other for so many years, she absolutely didn’t understand him. She
only knew that he was the master of Maple Peak.
It was exactly the same as when she was with Cedric. She thought she had seen it all, unaware of the
vast world behind it.
“Does it matter? I’ve already provoked him,” Natalie said with a muffled voice.
Irwin chuckled lightly once Natalie finished speaking.
Natalie gave the man a resentful glance. Malcolm wasn’t someone anyone should casually provoke,
and he was causing headaches for both her and Stephen.
Yet, this man was still smiling.
“You’re still laughing…!”
Just mentioning it was infuriating.
She initially thought Malcolm would naturally back off as long as she severed her ties with Stephen.
However, no one expected Malcolm to do the opposite. Instead of backing down, he even took things.
one step further, which infuriated everyone!
Irwin’s long, slender figures gently rubbed her eyes as he said, “Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to
you.”
At least, not for now.
“Whether he will or not, the entire Simeria is waiting for our wedding.” Natalie said gravely.
Speaking of which, Natalie felt that Malcolm had played her and the Jarvis family. In their initial plan,
Malcolm was only interested in profits.
However, he didn’t conform to that stereotype.
It was hard to understand what the man was thinking at this time.
At this moment!
Whether Natalie was genuinely angry or saying these words just for Irwin to hear, the man didn’t
respond.
You can get surgery for your eyes now, right?” The man’s icy fingertips rubbed her eyes as he spoke
softly.
Natalie was silent, and she stiffened when she heard his words. Speaking of her eyes brought back
some
She would never forget how these eyes were once blurry and unclear. She would also always
remember that Cedric said Isabella needed surgery for her eyes, and in the end… he had chosen

“Yeah,” She responded quietly, not wanting to say more.
Natalie didn’t want to continue this topic and instead asked, “It’s late. Why did you come here?”
“I’m leaving Simeria for a while.”
Natalie was silent. At these words, her heart skipped a beat.
“Where are you going?”
“Wexford.”
Wexford?!
Natalie had never been there, but Stephen often mentioned it, saying that it was quite chaotic.
A certain family controlled everything in that place all year round, and even the person with the highest
status there was influenced by them.
It also seemed that Stephen had some involvement with Wexford,
She had previously heard about it in conversations between Stephen and some other people in his
study.
However, she didn’t pay much attention since she managed Regal Horizons International, which had
no
connection with Wexford.
When Irwin brought it up, Natalie immediately associated it with the ‘chaos‘ Stephen mentioned.
But before she could speak, Irwin said, “Cedric is over there.”
“What?”
Cedric?!
Why would he?
“Nat, it’ll probably be a while before I return this time. During this period, just remember one thing…”
What?
“No matter what happens, don’t marry Malcolm!” Irwin said in a grave tone.
Natalie had never considered marrying Malcolm But now, the situation was gaining traction, and
Over the years, the Entes family’s lords had always wanted some connection with the Jarvis family.
Now was an even more crucial time, as the Entes family’s heir was about to be selected. With this
situation, Malcolm wouldn’t easily let go of this advantage that he had gotten.
“I know Yves was reckless last time, but Nat…” Irwin trailed off and touched her cheeks gently.
