A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Kyle nodded.

His eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he continued looking at Cedric!

At this point, it was clear that even those close to Cedric couldn't understand. Once, whether it was him

or Lucas, they both felt that Isabella was the most important presence in Cedric's world!

But...!

Even though Cedric had watched how devastated Isabella was when she went blind, he never

entertained the idea of sacrificing his own eyes for her.

At that time, even though he told Natalie to give Isabella her eyes...!

Even then, they could tell Cedric was just saying those things out of anger.

He never thought about taking Natalie to the operating room.

During that time, no one knew how much had happened!

In such chaos, no one could see through Cedric.

Especially when he personally sent Natalie to prison, they... almost confirmed Isabella's importance in

Cedric's heart.

But they didn't know what kind of emotions were attached to that importance!

But at this moment, Kyle and Lucas understood what Natalie's existence really meant to Cedric.

Even during Cedric's time in Yuloria, Natalie remained calm and collected. She was never as desperate

as Isabella.

It was then that Cedric silently made up his mind!

If Edward's treatment didn't restore Natalie's sight, he would...!

At that moment, he had already made up his mind and decision for the surgery.

"She..." Kyle thought momentarily, wanting to say something, but nothing came out when he tried to

speak!

Just as he nervously considered what to say, someone called out from outside, "Your Excellency, Miss

Kayla is here."

Kyle remained silent. Upon hearing Kayla's name, his heart clenched even tighter.

If one were to talk about how many unpleasant things had happened between Cedric and Natalie...

There was that day in the hospital when Natalie had gone hysterical. When Cedric had been injured on

the same day, it was clear to everyone just how much hurt there was between them.

And then, there was Blair's existence...!

However, none of those incidents could compare to the connection between Kayla and Luna.

"Let her in." Cedric pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Kyle nodded with a grave look on his face.

Kayla didn't take long to enter after Kyle left.

Because of Cedric's attitude towards her, everyone around Cedric treated Kayla exceptionally well.

At this moment, Cedric remembered...!

At Scarlet Villa, whether it was their previous life or this one, he had treated Natalie and Isabella

differently. Because of the difference in his attitude towards them, even the servants had dared to snub

Natalie.

When Cedric recalled these things, his heart... tightened painfully!

There was no one else he could blame for how things were between him and Natalie now!

There was a flicker of intense pain in his eyes.

Kayla obediently stepped forward. "Daddy."

"Yeah."

Kayla's tender voice brought him back to reality/ Upon seeing this little face, Cedric's entire demeanor

softened slightly.

Very indulgently, he took her little hand and stroked her small face.

Despite the careful care of those around him, Kayla's face was always very pale. It was likely due to

the severe illness she had previously.

"Mr. Lucas said you'll be away on a business trip for a long time this time before coming back."

"Yeah."

"I'll miss you."

Cedric fell silent.

As he listened to the child's expression of affection, Cedric felt an indescribable tenderness in his heart.

He patted the back of Kayla's hand. He said with a hint of bitterness, "You have to be good, okay?""

"Daddy, are you going to find Mommy?"

Cedric fell silent again.

Daddy... Mommy!

Thinking of the existence of these two roles in Kayla's heart, Cedric felt even worse.

He was Kayla's father!

And in Kayla's heart, Natalie was her mother.

If it weren't for the incident with Luna... could Natalie have accepted this child?

Was it possible?!

Those were Cedric's thoughts.

Unfortunately...!

No, it wouldn't have happened.

There were the grievances of their previous and current life, coupled with her knowledge of Blair's

existence, to consider.

With that, it was even more impossible for Natalie to accept Kayla.

"Kayla." Cedric took a deep breath as he suppressed the suffocating feeling in his heart.

Kayla looked at Cedric blankly. "Yes, Daddy?"

"Forget about Mommy, okay?"

Kayla fell silent.

Cedric watched as something in Kayla's eyes instantly shattered.

He had ruthlessly shoved away the heartbreak he felt just moments ago, but now it came back with a

vengeance. It choked him, and his head hurt so much it felt like it was about to explode.

"Forget her, okay?"

She was not Kayla's mother!

She would never be.

Cedric could see the child's longing for maternal love. Precisely because of this, he felt even more

heartbroken.

"Mommy doesn't want me, does she?" Kayla's emotions were somewhat out of control, and tears

instantly filled her eyes.

Cedric knew that from birth until now, Kayla never had any memories of Isabella.

It was all part of Irwin's schemes.

Kayla had always been told that Natalie was her mother.

If one were to say who Irwin was most ruthless to, it was probably this child, right?

However, Cedric also knew that Irwin had never seen Kayla.

If he had seen this child, he probably...!

No. Based on what happened back then, Irwin was capable of anything!

In the end, it was Cedric who disappointed Irwin.

"Forget her, okay?"

At this moment, it seemed there was no other way but to have Kayla forget Natalie.

They shouldn't wait for her anymore.

Natalie would never turn around.

So, this was what it felt like to wait in vain.

Once... Natalie had waited in despair because of his entanglement with Isabella.

Now, Cedric was waiting with the same emotions.

Once...!

Had she also gradually fallen into despair as she waited for him?

That was probably the case.

Back then, how did she endure it?

This so-called torment...

Cedric understood it clearly now.

His heart... felt like it was continuously being torn apart. The pain was unbearable!

And similarly enduring the torment was Kayla, who stood by his side.

Her longing for motherly affection was so intense that in her heart, she had always regarded Natalie as

her birth mother.

However, Cedric knew she... was just like him.

Their waiting would only be in vain.

Although presenting such truth to the child seemed cruel, Cedric believed that waiting in vain forever in

this lifetime was even more cruel.

If there had to be pain, then she should experience it now.

After experiencing the pain, she would... learn to let go!

But what about him? Could he really let go?

"Daddy, sob, sob..."

After all, Kayla was a child.

Upon hearing Cedric's firm tone, it seemed that she realized something.

Then, she was unable to control her emotions and burst into tears.
