When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 957 Reconnecting With A Friend

Flowers? Desserts?

Nathaniel was perplexed. When did I send Cecilia flowers and desserts?

A smug, provocative look filled Jessica’s eyes. She aimed to expose Cecilia’s true colors to Nathaniel.

A fickle woman like her doesn’t deserve to stay by Nathaniel’s side!

“It was Mason who ordered it,” Nathaniel replied in a subdued tone. “Go ask Mason.”

Jessica was taken aback. She never expected Nathaniel to cover for Cecilia instead of questioning or criticizing her.

I heard Cecilia talk to Calvin on the phone in the restroom; she even thanked him!

“Nathaniel, are you sure it was Mason?” she asked, unwilling to give up.

Nathaniel lost his patience. “Who else do you think delivered it?”

Jessica found herself at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Cecilia, too, was taken aback. Nathaniel’s clearly helping me.

At night, when it was just the two of them in the room, Cecilia said to Nathaniel, “Calvin was the one who sent me flowers and delivered desserts to the office.”

Nathaniel had been waiting for her explanation. Hearing that, he asked, “Is the cake also from him?”

“Of course not. I bought it from a store near the company,” Cecilia said. She wasn’t foolish enough to use a gift from a friend to please her husband.

Moreover, she was aware that Nathaniel and Calvin were at odds with each other.

Nathaniel’s mood finally improved, but he soon asked, “Why did he send you flowers and desserts?”

“He said we haven’t been in touch for a long time, and he wanted to reconnect through this,” Cecilia relayed Calvin’s words to Nathaniel.

As a man, Nathaniel wouldn’t buy Calvin’s nonsense about reconnecting with a friend.

He said, “Give these gifts back to him in the future.”

Nathaniel didn’t want his wife to owe any favors to another man, let alone to his rival in love.

Cecilia nodded repeatedly. “Of course, I’ve already made up my mind to also order some snacks for him next time.”

Nathaniel didn’t voice his disapproval, yet he was busy contemplating how to minimize Cecilia’s interactions with Calvin.

“Okay.”

Nodding, Cecilia closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Nathaniel dropped Cecilia off at the company as usual. Elliot was overjoyed to see his parents‘ relationship improve day by day.

He informed Jonathan about the situation at home.

Jonathan’s face fell when he heard that. “You don’t have to inform me about such things in the future.”

“Why? Didn’t you say you’d accept Daddy once Mommy does?” Elliot was confused.

“Mom only chose to start over with him because he saved her, for the two of us, and for the babies she’s carrying. I want you to understand that clearly,” Jonathan said, enunciating each word deliberately.

Elliot found his brother too narrow–minded, but he couldn’t think of a quick comeback. “That’s enough. Focus on your class.”

After hanging up the phone, Jonathan typed away on his computer in a corner of the room.

He was genuinely curious about the person behind Imminence Corporation–the one who had first stepped in to help his mother manage the online backlash.

He also aimed to deal with Cassandra and Queenie, who schemed against Cecilia.

I must find a way to become stronger so that I can protect Mommy in the future. I can’t rely on sc*mbag daddy to protect her.

Meanwhile, over at Orion Corporation, Cecilia returned from a restroom break to find everyone in the headquarters thanking her.
