"Mr. Jarvis..." Cedric looked at Stephen in disbelief, clearly taken aback by the words that

had just left Stephen's lips.

Stephen cut him off sharply, "She's just a child. Is that what you're trying to tell me?"

Hadn't Cedric emphasized time and time again in front of Natalie that Kayla was just a

child?

"Just because she's a child, does that mean Natalie has to accept it? Did Luna have to be

sacrificed because of that?"

Stephen's words hit Cedric like stones, each one piercing his heart like a blade.

These were universal truths everyone understood!

Yet, when faced with reality, people often showed favoritism.

And Cedric's favoritism was clearly directed towards Isabella and her daughter.

Did he feel trapped at that time? Even if he did, his actions were unforgivable to Natalie

and Luna!

"This is your last warning, Cedric!" Stephen's voice was icy and dangerous. "Leave this

place. Now!"

With those final words, Stephen departed. Cedric was left rooted in place, struggling to

process the gravity of the moment.

Stephen rarely spoke so much at once, but the essence of it all was captured in one

question...

What right did Cedric have to expect Natalie and Luna to accept those he deemed

important?

From start to finish, whether it was Isabella or Kayla, they were pivotal figures only in

Cedric's world.

Neither Luna nor Natalie had any obligation to accept or acknowledge them.

But what had happened between him and Natalie?!

How had their relationship deteriorated to this point?

How?!

Heather paced around in Lotus Villa as she held Luna in her arms, attempting to soothe

her.

Luna was Cedric's daughter, yet the moment she saw that man, her eyes reflected an

unmistakable fear of him.

Stephen approached Heather and said to Luna, "Come to your grandpa, Luna."

"Grandpa!" Luna looked up at Stephen with a pitiable expression, clearly shaken by the

recent events.

Ever since Luna returned from the hospital, she had been restless for several days. It was

evident that during those three days, Cedric had become a demonic presence in her

world.

Now, that demon had resurfaced, terrifying little Luna.

"It's okay now. Grandpa has scared away the bad man. You don't have to be afraid

anymore, little moon," Stephen said, taking the child into his arms.

His tone was tender, filled with affection.

Luna nestled comfortably in Stephen's embrace, her little arms wrapped tightly around his

neck with surprising strength.

"Grandpa," she murmured.

"It's all right now, no need to be scared," Stephen reassured her, noting the tremble in

Luna's body.

A hint of anger and danger flickered in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Natalie sat on the sofa, struggling to collect her thoughts. Clearly, Cedric's

sudden appearance had left her stunned!

According to her calculations and precautions, Cedric shouldn't have been able to appear

here.

Yet, he had!

This suggested that many things related to Wexford might not be as straightforward as

she had perceived.

It was becoming evident that things were more complex than what Stephen had conveyed

to her.

And maybe, just like Cedric had said...

Perhaps things weren't as simple as Natalie thought it was.
