Joshua sighed heavily in his heart.
The next day, Joshua asked the servants to send her breakfast, but Natalie still refused to eat.
She never said a single word. Her eyes were constantly filled with sadness and despair.
Joshua had no other choice.
He looked for Cecilia.
"Madam, Miss Godfrey has not eaten anything since she woke up yesterday. It's been two days. She can't go on like this."
Cecilia's face went pale.
"I'll see her." She stammered and stopped as if the words were stuck in her throat.
How could she see Natalie at a time like that?
What rights did she have to see Natalie?
"Please try to persuade her. She mustn't continue like this."
"Madam, I've tried everything. Miss Godfrey is very stubborn. She won't eat anything."
Cecilia was anxious.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said,
"Force her to eat if you must!"
Joshua did not think that it was a good idea.
But after thinking about it, he did not say anything further.
After all, Natalie could not keep on starving.
"By the way, Madam, there is one more thing." Before leaving, Joshua said suddenly, "I received news that Mr. Remington is searching for Miss Godfrey everywhere, and he has already found out about her being here. He may very well be here soon."
Cecilia's breathing came to a halt.
Remington wanted to look for Natalie?
When she was still investigating Natalie previously, she found out that Natalie was in England where Remington had been taking care of her.
She was doubtful back then. What was Remington's relationship with Natalie? Why would he do so much for her?
He took her to England and helped her by faking her death.
She was immersed in her sorrow and shock of realizing that Natalie was her daughter at that point in time, so she had no time to think further.
But he was looking for Natalie again?
Cecilia had complicated feelings.
What thoughts did Remington have toward Natalie?
After a long time, Cecilia finally spoke, "Joshua, if Remington finds this place, ask him to come and see me."
"Madam." Remington showed a faint smile as he looked at the elegant and beautiful woman in front of him.
Cecilia was his stepmother.
Cecilia was a clever woman too. She did not find any faults with him ever since he was a child.
Even so, he could not find himself to like Cecilia.
Because of Cecilia's appearance, his father abandoned his mother.
Even though his father had never really married his mother.
But that might not be the case had Cecilia never shown up.
Cecilia nodded and said, "Remington, how have you been recently?"
The smile on Remington's lips deepened, "Madam, let's not waste time on these formalities. You should be very clear about why I'm looking for you. Let's get straight to the point."
Cecilia's expression remained the same.
Remington had always been like that, and she had accustomed to it.
She looked at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "You're here for Natalie?"
"That's right."
"What's your relationship with Natalie? Why would you look for her?"
"Madam, this is my privacy. It's the same as having my meals, I don't have to inform you every time I eat, do I?"
Although he sounded disrespectful, Remington showed a polite look.
Cecilia got up suddenly.
She walked forward slowly and finally stopped in front of Remington.
Cecilia was tall. Even though Cecilia was wearing high heels, she was still shorter than Remington.
But her temperament was not inferior to him at all.
