Irwin's already suffocating heart felt even more stifled upon hearing Natalie's words.

Regardless of the role he played in Cedric and Natalie's lives in the past, he couldn't help but offer an explanation for Cedric.

"Nat, the thing is...!" Irwin began.

"When I found out that both of you approached me because of Blair, do you know what was going through my mind?" Natalie interrupted.

"Nat!"

"Nothing! My mind was blank!"

Indeed!

At that moment, Natalie's mind went blank, overwhelmed by tumultuous emotions that left her unable to react. She couldn't bring herself to believe that everything was real!

How could it be real?

How could things turn out that way?

She couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe that things could be like that.

"For seven years, do you know how he treated me during those seven years?"

At this moment, instead of speaking of hatred, she spoke of love.

But was there love between them?

Now, looking back, even saying 'yes' felt ironic!

Natalie scoffed, "I thought he loved me very much! So when Isabella appeared, when Isabella touched our relationship, I found it incredible."

Seven years!

How much did Cedric love her during those seven years?

Ever since he appeared in her world, it was as if he instantly reached out and pulled her out of the quagmire. He was like a godly figure in her world, but who could have known that this existence was so terrifying?

"Nat," taking a deep breath, Irwin moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.

Before he could speak, Natalie continued, "He waited for me to eat together every day. He personally escorted me to the dormitory door every day."

"On holidays, he wouldn't go home! He stayed by my side, making me, who already had no family, completely devoid of loneliness."

At that time, she had nothing!

But Cedric, with a strong presence, became like family to her.
