A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 432 A Chilling Decision

Just then, his phone rang.

It was Natalie!

Cedric immediately hung up. Yet, the caller seemed frantic, continuously calling back!

Finally, Cedric answered. “Hello”

“Cedric !” Natalie’s voice came through, a mix of anger and restrained emotion evident.

Even through the phone, the tremble in her voice was obvious.

Clearly, this child meant everything to her.

Was it because of Irwin?

Back in Verde City, everyone knew how Irwin had protected her. Did she feel indebted to Irwin and thus show extra affection to this child?

“Where is my child?” Natalie’s voice held a suppressed urgency.

From the background, there was the clinking of medical equipment. It was evident that upon learning someone had taken Luna, Natalie had rushed to the hospital where Kayla was.

However, neither Kayla nor Cedric was there

This caused Natalie to panic!

“Nat, let’s talk after this is settled,” Cedric said in an unusually calm voice.

He glanced at the child in his arms. Luna was exhausted from crying and had fallen asleep. Her peaceful face looked oddly familiar.

On the other end of the call, Natalie’s heart raced upon hearing Cedric’s words.

“Cedric, you know what Isabella means to me. Yet, you’re using Luna to save her daughter?”

At that moment, Natalie’s tone was icy, more cutting than ever

How heartless could Cedric be?!

Cedric replied, “You don’t need to involve Bella in this matter!”

But Kayla is her daughter You’re the one who insisted on dragging us into this! What is the meaning of this?!” Natalie shot back.

She involved Isabella?!
