Chapter 838 Aren’t You Afraid of Me? That was how Natalie was now. It didn't matter how much Cedric tried to threaten her this way! It was over.

Ultimately, Cedric left.
Austin hugged Natalie and gently brought her back to her senses. "Nat." Natalie snapped out of it and looked at Austin. She moved her lips as if to say something, but at that moment, nothing came out.
"You did great." Austin cupped her petite face and gently stroked her cheek.
J The warmth in his fingertips gradually melted Natalie's heart.
' "Aren't you afraid that I'm a monster?" she asked.
| Amonster? Yes! Cedric just said Natalie was a monster, and Natalie also said Cedric was. It was clear that they had something in common in some ways.
And just now, Cedric wanted to use Natalie's weakness to threaten her.
Austin looked at the calmness in her eyes and felt his heart clenched painfully! People say that women in their adolescence were full of love for life, but now, Natalie's eyes seem to lack any enthusiasm.

| "Nat!" 1 Just as Austin was about to say something to comfort Natalie, she grabbed his hand and said in a painful tone, "He's right.
I'm a monster." The pain in Natalie's tone continuously spread through the man before her.

"Alright, then tell me, what kind of peculiarity do you possess?" Because she didn't want Cedric to threaten her just now, she said she would tell Austin herself.
Natalie shook her head. "Not peculiar...

had experienced in her previous life. It seemed that she had been healing her | previous self since starting her current life. ) She used all her strength to resist Cedric, | even at the cost of destroying everything | around him. She even repeatedly unveiled Isabella's mysterious veil.
But even so, the injuries from her previous life seemed deeply rooted. She always dreamed how her previous self had been in the darkness when she woke up at midnight.
At this moment, Austin sensed that something was wrong with Natalie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Nat..." As if she had remembered something, Natalie began to tremble all over. Austin held her in his arms, wanting to comfort her trembling heart. The moment Natalie felt the warmth in the man's embrace, it was as if all her courage had returned to her instantly.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Natalie asked.
