When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 956 A Cake

By four o’clock in the afternoon, Cecilia had finished all her work for the day and decided to call Nathaniel, who was still in a meeting.

Since Nathaniel wasn’t ready for the public to know his identity yet, he handled every meeting online.

The moment Nathaniel heard the ringtone he’d set specifically for Cecilia, he immediately paused the meeting to take her call.

“What’s wrong?”

“When are you getting off work today?” Cecilia asked.

Nathaniel was under the impression that she had already finished work for the day. Considering his promise to pick her up and drop her off daily, he then said, “Right now.”

“Then send me your location. I’ll come find you,” Cecilia immediately responded.

Hearing that, he was taken aback but still responded, “No need, I’m already in the car. I’m coming to pick you up now.”

“Huh? You’re finishing work this early?” Cecilia sounded somewhat disappointed.

Originally, she had plans to finish work early and surprise Nathaniel, hoping to lift his spirits.

Nathaniel was confused. “Haven’t you finished work for the day?”

“I got off work early today, thinking I’d come see you sooner,” responded Cecilia.

Nathaniel thought he might have responded too quickly.

Cecilia then said, “I’ll wait for you to come over.”

“All right,” he answered, ending the call. He then reopened the meeting and addressed the executives, “That concludes today’s meeting.”

The executives, who were initially engaged in a heated discussion, were all left dumbfounded.

What’s up with our enigmatic boss today? Why is he ending the meeting prematurely before we even come to any conclusion? Is he mad that we’re arguing endlessly?

Struggling to figure out what was on Nathaniel’s mind, they were filled with apprehension.

At that moment, Mason knocked and entered, “Boss, do you want them to settle this themselves?”

Nathaniel stood up, “Cecilia’s getting off work. Let’s bring her home first. Work matters can be discussed later.”

Mason was in disbelief upon hearing that.

Nathaniel, who had always prioritized work, had changed a lot for Cecilia’s sake.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Not saying another word, Nathaniel instructed the driver to head toward Orion Corporation as soon as he

At that time, Cecilia was standing at the entrance of the company. She bought a dessert from nearby, intending to give it to Nathaniel.

The car slowly approached.

She hopped into the car, handing the dessert in her hand over to him. “Here you go.”

“What is this?” he asked, confused.

“A cake. I’ll tear off the wrapping for you. Enjoy,” she said.

Thinking of his weird question earlier in the morning, she was worried about his emotional state and that he might suffer from mental illnesses due to his inability to see. Thus, she decided to buy something sweet for him to lift his spirits.

Nathaniel wasn’t particularly fond of sweets, but since Cecilia offered it to him, he had no choice but to eat it, albeit reluctantly.

“Is it good?” she asked.

“Yes,” he lied with a straight face.

“Good. You should eat more sweets; it can lift your spirits. That way, you won’t overthink things,” Cecilia said, feeding him the cake.

The driver quietly raised the partition.

By the time they arrived at Daltonia Villa, Nathaniel had finished the cake.

As the couple stepped into the house and reached the foyer, Cecilia noticed Jessica had also returned. Without missing a beat, Jessica spoke up, “Nathaniel, the flowers you gave Cecilia today were absolutely stunning. And those desserts you bought for the staff–what brand were they? They were so delicious, I’m thinking of getting some for myself to enjoy at work.”
