Chapter 475 Keeping Secrets for Your Own Good
After ending the call with Daphne, a chilling sensation enveloped Natalie.
Both Irwin and Cedric were obstructing her?
́Neither of them wanted her to know the true reasons?!
Why would they keep her in the dark? Cedric was one thing, but even Irwin?
The more they hid, the more determined Natalie became to uncover the truth!

the staircase in her white nightgown, waiting for him.
When Irwin spotted her, a soft smile graced his lips. To others, this smile might seem endearing, but to

“Nat, come here,” Irwin beckoned her with a gentle wave.
Her already tense expression grew colder at his gesture.
Seeing her still, Irwin stumbled closer as he said, “Stay there. I’ll come to you.”
His tone was tender, reminiscent of lovers‘ sweet exchanges. But to Natalie, it felt toxic, sending shivers down her

“Why did you stop me?” Natalie retorted coldly.
Since Daphne’s call, memories from back then flooded Natalie’s mind.

Irwin was seemingly intoxicated as he held Natalie, but he tensed at her probing question.
The grip around her waist tightened involuntarily.
Natalie felt Irwin’s change instantly, and the chill in her eyes deepened.
“Nat, sometimes keeping things from you is for your own good,” Irwin whispered into her neck, his warmth mixed
with the distinct scent of alcohol.
Natalie remained silent.
For her own good?
The irony of that reason weighed heavily on her heart. The last thing she wanted to hear was such an explanation!
“Do you even have the right to decide what’s best for me?” she questioned sharply.
“Nat…!” Irwin was already somewhat tipsy, and he struggled to maintain his composure while confronting a sober
Natalie.
