Chapter 51 Good News

Natalie turned to look at Cedric, who was still holding Isabella in his arms.

Isabella… She didn’t appear flustered at all, despite being exposed.

She remained calmly nestled in Cedric’s embrace.

When Natalie had lunged at her, Cedric had already set her down. However, he still had one arm wrapped around her, protecting her.

The irony of the situation wasn’t lost on anyone.

Cedric was momentarily frozen. He glanced at his own hand and then at Natalie. The guilt that briefly crossed his eyes was quickly concealed.

She no longer wanted to see him.

How many times has it been now?

Natalie had also lost count.

She had forgotten how many times this man had slapped her because of Isabella.

Was he disappointed in her?

No, he didn’t have the right

She was even more disappointed in him.

“Stop right there!” Cedric shouted at Natalie.

He was about to chase after her, but Isabella fainted in his arms.
