A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 352 What Right Do You Have to Blame Me?

In the dining room, only Natalie and Cedric remained.

Natalie fixed her gaze on the man across from her, attempting to discern his expression.

However, at this moment, she couldn’t see anything clearly. The only thing she sensed was the chilling

aura emanating from him.

Click!

The sound of a lighter echoed, followed by the strong smell of gasoline. Natalie narrowed her eyes, her

face turning momentarily pale.

She had always known Cedric liked using this type of lighter. In this eerie silence, the sound reminded

her

of her memories from her previous life.

The scent of gasoline… was her last memory of Cedric before the raging fire consumed her.

Cedric took two deep puffs and said, “She knows nothing.”

He was clearly referring to Kayla.

“Knows nothing about what?”

“From what she can remember, she has never seen Isabella. She has always been under Irwin’s

control.”

Natalie was silent.

Irwin?!

It was as if Cedric had mentioned Irwin deliberately, and Natalie felt uncomfortable when she heard

Irwin’s name. It felt like a reminder of her past foolishness.

“Are you trying to flaunt your power over me?” Natalie sneered.

Why did Irwin enter her life?

It was because of the man before her!

Cedric’s eyes turn colder.

“Natalie.”

“Neither you nor him are any good. Don’t push all the blame onto him!”

“You

Cedric swallowed the words that had been on the tip of his tongue.

His expression changed from cold and rigid to somewhat gentle, and his lips curled up in a bitter smile.

“You’re right. I’m not a good person, just like him. We’re both no good!”

If they had to talk about the harm caused by the people around her, Cedric had inflicted the most on

her.

“Do you know where Bianca is?” Natalie asked.

She didn’t want to discuss Irwin anymore. From an unknown point in time, she had become indifferent

to

matters of the heart.

Upon discovering Irwin’s deceit, she simply acknowledged it and showed complete indifference.

“Has Lucas told you?”

“Are you trying to threaten me with Bianca again?”

Bianca…

Malcolm had used her to threaten Natalie. Irwin had done the same, and now… Cedric continued the

pattern.

These people… Hah!

Cedric’s presence became more intimidating.

I

“I don’t know when it started, but it seems I can only keep you by my side by resorting to threats.”

Yes, in the past, it wasn’t like this….

However, why exactly?

In Cedric’s heart, it was as clear as day.

“You keep talking about keeping me by your side. Do you know it’s like listening to a bad joke?” Natalie

said as she examined her exquisite nails.

On the way here, she had actually tried to contact Bianca in the car. However, her phone had been

turned

off, Just like Leon’s.

That proved that Lucas had spoken the truth.

In Kayla’s heart, you’ve always been a motherly figure, Cedric suddenly said.

As Natalie examined her nails, she paused for a moment. When she looked at Cedric, her gaze

became.

even sharper.

‘She’s only ten! Do you know what she felt when you threw her into the orphanage? She sees you as

her mother! It made her feel as if you didn’t want her!” Cedric exclaimed.

As Cedric finished speaking, Natalie’s expression became colder.

As far as Kayla could remember, Isabella had never seen her.

In other words, Kayla considered Natalie her mother?!

“Cedric, are you an idiot?” Natalie could no longer tolerate it.

Cedric was silent.

“I’m a motherly figure to her? Why?!”

Why?

Was that really what the child thought?

“Nat, she’s just a child, and what we’re discussing now-” Cedric began, but Natalie cut off his words.

‘Discussing? Is this a discussion? You’ve brought me here clearly just to accuse me!”

Indeed, it wasn’t a discussion.

It was an accusation.

From the beginning, she was accused of being a certain kind of presence in the child’s heart, and then

the

issue of the orphanage.

If this wasn’t an accusation, then what was it?

“What right do you have to blame me?” Natalie stood up, turning around to leave.

Cedric remained seated.

He felt cold.

Yes, Natalie was right.

He had no right to blame her,

As Natalie reached the door, she stopped and turned around.

Cedric, let me remind you once again, we’re divorced!”

“So, no matter what wrong choices I make, it’s my own problem. It has nothing to do with you!”

How she had handled Kayla was an example.

He thought she shouldn’t have put Kayla in the orphanage? He thought she was too cruel to a child?

What right did he have to say such things about her?

Just because of his relationship with Isabella?

Just as Natalie took another step, Cedric spoke up with a voice filled with restraint, “Do you know what

Isabella did for you?”

Natalie was silent.

Isabella did something for her?

Before she could retort, Cedric continued, “She’s dead. You can’t treat her child like this.”

The heavy footsteps of the man echoed behind her.

Without waiting for Natalie’s reaction, he pulled her into his arms. His warm fingertips gently rubbed

against her eyes, a force that carried tenderness and heartache.

In her previous life, Natalie had lost her sight!

And in this life, she also suffered harm.

“You don’t know anything, Nat… You’re not a cruel person. Don’t treat that child like this in the future,

okay?

He knew what kind of pain she endured in her previous life, and he witnessed how Isabella was willing

to

sacrifice her life to save her.

“You don’t have to forgive her, but you can’t be so cruel to her child!”

At this moment, the man’s tone was filled with heartache, even carrying a seductive kind of gentleness.

He tightened his grip around her.

“She doesn’t know anything, and she’s only ten!” Cedric said.

From his position, he couldn’t see the emotions surging in Natalie’s eyes. The hatred overwhelmed her,

Then, she left without sparing him another glance.

Cedric stood in place, feeling an icy chill all over as he watched her leave.

Kayla came down in a white nightgown and saw Cedric standing there with a lonely expression.

Quietly descending the stairs, she came to the man’s side and tugged at his large, calloused hand.

Cedric snapped back to reality, looking down at the little girl beside him.

“Kayla.”

“Mommy doesn’t like me.”

There was a hint of grievance in Kayla’s tone.

Yes, Natalie didn’t like her!

Since she came to Natalie’s side, all she felt was Natalie treated her like a mortal enemy.

After finding out that Kayla was Isabella’s daughter, Natalie rarely saw her. Then, the final decision was

to

send Kayla directly to the orphanage.

Such a cruel decision would undoubtedly leave deep shadows in a child’s heart.

“She will like you,” Cedric said as he crouched down, soothingly rubbing Kayla’s head.
