Chapter 944
Chapter 944 Can You Afford to Wait? Bianca found herself sandwiched between the two men. It felt suffocating, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she chose to ignore them.
After hearing that Malcolm had moved back to the house next to Bianca, Natalie felt like it was a terrifying battleground.
"Are they out for your blood?" she asked Bianca after taking a deep breath.
"T'1l take theirs first!" Bianca's eyes flashed with danger as she spoke. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Natalie paused, sensing the danger in Bianca's tone. She knew Bianca was angry; anyone would be in her shoes.
"When do you plan to leave?" They had agreed she'd leave after Nancy's case, but now...
Bianca reiterated her plan and said,
"Once that scoundrel is in prison, I'm out." That was how Bianca saw John. Perhaps that was why Natalie had been friends with Bianca for so long. She was passionate and righteous, showing her best qualities.
"It might not be that easy," Natalie warned.
She understood what Bianca wanted, but they also knew Malcolm. Zane was always gentle and respected others’ choices, but Malcolm was different. He would do anything to get what he wanted, even if it meant threatening those around him. He had even interfered with Nancy's case to force Bianca to come back to him.
So, what about Nancy's husband? If he knew Bianca demanded a certain outcome, knowing Malcolm, he might resort to threatening her.
Bianca caught Natalie's implication, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes. "If it comes to that..." What then? Clearly, Natalie realized what Bianca did —Malcolm would definitely resort to such tactics. Bianca closed her eyes and said, "Then I'll wait him out." She wanted to see how patient that man really was, and how far he was willing to go. If he wanted to threaten her with everything, she'd show him whether she cared about those things or not.
In the end, they'd see who broke first.
Natalie hesitated.
Wait him out? The old Bianca was always decisive. She never took more than three months to handle any case.
But this time, Nancy's case had dragged
on for quite a while, and now her husband's situation wasn't going to end easily either. When Bianca mentioned "waiting it out," it was clear she was pushed to the brink by Malcolm, almost wanting to outlast him.
"Nat." "Yeah?" "Don't mess with troublemakers in this world!" Malcolm would make one realize how even unrelated matters could become entangled.
Natalie sighed, understanding the weight of Bianca's words.
Bianca had surely seen Natalie and Cedric's past. Back then, who would've thought that the man so in love with Natalie would become such a huge problem now? No matter what she tried, she couldn't shake him off.
"Bia, do you know what I regret the most?" "Being with him?" "yeah, I also regret having Luna!" Bianca was taken aback. How could Natalie regret having Luna, such a sweet child? Natalie continued, "If it weren't for Luna, would he have a reason to bother me?" In Natalie's eyes, Cedric wouldn't have any reason to keep pestering her if Luna didn't exist.
He'd always use Luna as an excuse.
But he bothered you even before he knew Luna was his daughter!" Bianca pointed out.
"But back then, he had no hope," Natalie explained.
Cedric didn't want to let her go back then.
However, since there was no hope, he eventually let her go. But after finding out about Luna, everything changed. Cedric held onto hope, believing there was still a chance between them, leading to endless entanglements.
Bianca understood. There was a difference between being entangled with hope and being entangled without it.
"Does he still call you?" Bianca asked, though she already knew the answer.
What kind of person was Cedric anyway? He even asked Bianca to speak well of him to Natalie when Kayla came looking for her.
Natalie sighed, feeling the weight of Cedric's persistence.
I] see," Bianca said as she heard Natalie's increasingly heavy breathing on the phone. She didn't know what to say to comfort Natalie, and even she found Cedric intimidating now.
So, do you understand what I mean now?" Natalie asked.
"I won't become a mother!" How could Bianca not understand what Natalie meant? When it came to children, it was a sore spot for her.
At that moment, with her eyes closed, beneath the surface, there was pain and...
danger.
"Just make sure you understand. At least don't become a mother at a time like this," Natalie said, believing Bianca wouldn't.
She was always level-headed. Even before getting involved with Zane and Malcolm, she was carefree. So now, away from Simeria, she'd naturally revert to her old self.
After hanging up with Natalie, Bianca still exuded an undeniable danger. Thinking
about what Natalie had said, she knew Natalie was worried about her.
Bianca naturally wouldn't do that! The door opened, and the cold wind rushed in. It was Zane. He brought breakfast, but when Bianca saw him, there was a distinct danger in her eyes.
Zane sensed her unease and looked at her gently, as if she werea wild cub on the verge of madness. His gaze was sO gentle that it almost melted her, but Bianca's eyes remained dangerous.
She dialed a number in front of Zane, and it was answered promptly. "Ms.
Sanders!" "I need to change a door." Not just the lock but the whole door.
She wanted the sturdiest one.
Zane stiffened at her request, and at that moment, there was a hint of hurt in his
I eyes. But Bianca ignored it completely.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home today," she said before ending the call.
After Malcolm's interference, her hotpot was ruined, and she had no appetite for what Zane brought either. Everything that needed to be said had been said. It was time to maintain the necessary distance from now on.
