When Her "Death Couldn''t Break Him


    Chapter 1658 No Need To Thank Me 421254


    Cecilia followed Nathaniel outside, breathing in the fresh air as if she had been reborn.


    "Thank you for helping me out," she said gratefully.


    Nathaniel let go of her hand and replied, "Didn''t I tell you? You don''t need to thank me in the future?


    They were married, yet Cecilia always maintained a polite distance.


    Feeling a bit embarrassed, Cecilia murmured, "I''m sorry, I forgot."


    "And you don''t need to say sorry either," Nathaniel added.


    Cecilia felt at a loss, as if everything she said was wrong


    "Got it," she replied softly, lowering her head like a child who had done something wrong


    Seeing her like this, Nathaniel felt a twinge of heartache. "Come on, I''ll take you to rest." "Okay."


    Cecilia followed him as they walked to their shared quarters.


    Once there, Nathaniel dismissed the servants, leaving only the two of them in the house.


    Feeling less restrained, Cecilia sat on the sofa. After a while, she suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Eli, Jon, Luke, and Gabe didn''te."


    Nathaniel, now seated with aptop, opened it to handle some work while responding to her.


    "Don''t worry. They''re safe at the Rainsworth Manor. Besides, with so many extended family members visiting today, staying with Niel will give them the chance to meet more people. It''ll be beneficial for them to build connections as they grow up."


    Cecilia nodded. "But wouldn''t it be inappropriate for us to leave like this?"


    "It''s fine," Nathaniel replied, lifting his gaze to meet hers. His dark eyes were intense, like ck ink. "After all, I don''t need to rely on anyone."


    There wasn''t a trace of arrogance in his words, only quiet confidence.


    Cecilia trusted his abilities and decided not to worry further.


    She hadn''t slept well the previous night and now curled up on the sofa, gradually closing her eyes. While Nathaniel worked, his eyes frequently wandered to her serene, beautiful face. His Adam''s apple bobbed slightly.


    In the past, when he worked, nothing could distract him.


    Cecilia was merely sitting there minding her own business, but he couldn''t help sneaking nces at her. Nathaniel didn''t know how long he had been watching her when a message from a subordinate snapped him out of his thoughts.

    Chapter 1658 No Need To Thank Me


    Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the Rainsworth Manor, Miranda was nervously making a phone call. "Nathaniel''s whole family is here. All four kids are together," she whispered.


    "This is a perfect opportunity. You must act quickly," the man on the other end urged.


    Miranda''s hand trembled as she held the phone. "But I''m scared."


    She had done bad things before, but nothing like this.


    "Miranda, you need to stop being so softhearted. You must put Felix first. Only by getting rid of them can Felix''s position be secured in the future," the man insisted.


    Before Miranda could reply, her husband Adrian''s voice suddenly sounded from behind.


    "Miranda, what are you doing here by yourself?"


    Startled, Miranda quickly ended the call and turned around.


    Thinking fast, she decided to use Adrian to her advantage. She walked toward him, looking


    uncharacteristically gentle. "Hubby, did you see Cecilia today?"


    "Why are you bringing up Cecilia?" Adrian''s expression shifted slightly.


    "Don''t you think she''s changed?" Miranda asked.


    "Changed?" Adrian was confused. "I didn''t notice. How has she changed?"


    To him, Cecilia was as beautiful as ever.


    Unfortunately, she belonged to Nathaniel, making her untouchable.


    "I''m telling you, don''t be fooled by how Cecilia looks now. She''s been involved with Nichs for a long time. It''s just that Nathaniel doesn''t care."
