When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 933 His Words Belied His Actions

Nathaniel, unwilling to accept defeat, tried once more to embrace Cecilia.

Cecilia shifted slightly to the side. “Don’t touch me.”

She merely spoke in a soft voice, yet upon hearing the words, Nathaniel felt a heaviness in his heart.

Just a couple of days ago, she was crying and heartbroken because he got injured. But now, seeing that he was fine, she had changed again.

“Then you touch me.” He took Cecilia’s hand and placed it over his own heart.

Cecilia was quite exhausted, so she absentmindedly pulled away.

Nathaniel, unwilling to give up, reached out to grasp her hand once more.

As an expectant mother, she was naturally subject to significant hormonal changes, which inevitably led to her inability to control her emotions.

She furrowed her brows, snapping loudly, “Are you done? You’re driving me crazy!”

After she had finished speaking, she rolled over with her blanket to the corner and continued sleeping, leaving Nathaniel lying there, stunned and motionless,

In this world, probably only Cecilia dared to yell at him and hit him time and again.

Nathaniel was completely unable to fall asleep.

The next morning, he got into the car, his face dark and brooding. The atmosphere around him was heavy.

Mason could sense the chill emanating from his boss and instinctively shifted away, reporting on his work while trying not to be too close.

He didn’t even need to guess the cause of Nathaniel’s dark mood. The only one who could upset Nathaniel was undoubtedly Cecilia.

“Boss, most of the loose ends in Ralph’s company have been handled, so should we inform Mrs. Rainsworth?”

He thought that Cecilia would be overjoyed to hear this news.

After all, Nathaniel had used the lowest market price to acquire Evans Group.

Nathaniel found himself reflecting on the cold treatment he received from Cecilia last night. His lips parted slightly as he said, “Don’t tell her about it for now. Did you find out anything else when you were investigating Sven before?”

He had never seen Eric in person, but he had a clear impression of Sven. Despite being merely a bodyguard, Sven’s demeanor was far from that of a subordinate.

stopped investigating him a while ago. He’s an enigma, with virtually no background.”

a fiancée, but they’ve already called off their engagement.”

Nathaniel’s interest was piqued. “Why did she call off the engagement with him?”

Mason shook his head. “I’m not sure. Typically, isn’t a broken engagement between a man and a woman due to one or both of them falling in love with someone else?”

His response only served to worsen Nathaniel’s already gloomy mood.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mason felt the temperature inside the car drop a few degrees.

Today, Nathaniel was distracted at work, frequently inquiring about what Cecilia was doing.

No matter how obtuse Mason was, he still managed to figure out a thing or two.

Upon learning that Cecilia was to attend a classmate gathering that day, he immediately informed Nathaniel.

“Boss, how about you pick up Mrs. Rainsworth from her reunion today?” Mason suggested. “My fiancée, Lucy, mentioned that these classmate gatherings are usually all about showing off. If you arrive in a limited–edition luxury car, Mrs. Rainsworth will undoubtedly gain a lot of prestige.”

Nathaniel dismissed it, saying, “There’s no need.”

Yet, he made no move to leave work early, as he patiently waited for the minutes and seconds to tick by,

“What time is it?” he eventually asked.

“It’s eight o’clock,” Mason replied.

“It’s getting late, so we might as well pick up Cecilia on our way back.”

Mason knew well that Nathaniel’s words belied his actions.

“Mrs. Rainsworth should be just starting her meal now, so we still have some time to work.” Mason played along.

Nathaniel nodded with a hum.

Meanwhile, Cecilia had already arrived at the gathering place, and soon th
