Natalie's lips curled into a smile.

But obviously... from the smile on her face, Irwin could tell things were far from being as simple as she claimed.

Dissolve the engagement with her?

Ever since the Jarvis family announced her identity, so many people from Simeria had stepped over the threshold

of the Jarvis family.

It was clear that if Irwin were to announce this news, what awaited them was...!

"It hurts!"

Irwin suddenly pinched her cheek, looking exasperated like he was dealing with a child. Tears welled up in Natalie's

eyes from the pain.

"So, you know that it hurts, huh?" Irwin said.

"Of course I do!" Natalie shot back.

She glared at Irwin resentfully.

The tense atmosphere that was present moments ago eased instantly with Irwin's action.

However, this relief was short-lived.

Irwin's expression turned serious. "Nat, I know you hate him and me, but...!"

At this point, Irwin paused. He had to admit that Natalie genuinely despised Cedric. From the moment she arrived in

Wexford, she had already prepared a grand "gift" for him.

Natalie looked at Irwin, her mischievous gaze disappearing in an instant.

In its place, she radiated coldness and severity!

Irwin took a moment to study at her.

"Wexford isn't as simple as you think. When you first arrived, you knew nothing and couldn't see clearly!" he

remarked.

"Like those years I was beside Cedric?" Natalie sneered sarcastically.

Back then, wasn't it the same? She was oblivious and clueless about everything.

For the first time, Irwin fell silent when it came to Cedric and their decade-long relationship.

Undoubtedly, no matter what Cedric's intentions were when he approached Natalie, he had never involved her with

Wexford.

But Irwin... was different.

The atmosphere inside the car grew even heavier at that moment.

As they disembarked at the manor, neither Irwin nor Natalie exchanged words. The atmosphere between them was

palpably different.

Dylan arrived.

Seeing Irwin return, he approached with a grave expression. "Sir."

He cast an instinctual glance at Natalie, and she huffed coldly, "I'm going to rest."

With that, she departed. After she was gone, Irwin frowned, glancing at Dylan with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Ever since Natalie arrived in Wexford, Irwin's emotions have been volatile, even though she was by his side.
