Chapter 1865 The Meeting


    "Ceci, I can''t thank you enough." Meredith expressed his heartfelt gratitude.


    "Don''t worry, and don''t rush to thank me just yet," Cecilia said. "I''m not even sure if I can pull this off."


    She was quite curious as to why Nichs wanted to involve her in the discussion.


    After ending the call, she ryed the matter to Nathaniel.


    After listening, Nathaniel didn''t stop her, knowing that changing her mind was futile once she had made a decision.


    "Then I''ll go with you," he said.


    "Alright," agreed Cecilia.


    She took out her phone and reached out to Nichs to arrange a meeting.


    Nichs sent her an address.


    When Cecilia saw it, her eyes flickered slightly.


    The ce was near a smallke by the Rainsworth Manor. She could still recall her younger days when she would sneak out to meet with Nichs there.


    Cecilia responded with a simple okay.


    Meanwhile, Nichs sat in his office, his fingers gently tapping on the desk.


    Jocelyn was beside him, engrossed in her work. She couldn''t help but wonder why Nichs would reject Meredith''s request.


    Nichs clearly doesn''t love that child, so why did he refuse to give her up for adoption?


    However, she didn''t ask.


    Nichs watched Jocelyn pacing back and forth in front of him. Finally, he couldn''t help but say, "Jocelyn, why don''t you sit down and take a break?"


    Jocelyn halted. "No need, I''m not tired."


    "I want to talk to you," Nichs said.


    Jocelyn had no choice but to sit on the couch away from him. "Mr. Nichs, what do you want to discuss with me?"


    "Do you think I''m being heartless?" Nichs asked her.


    Jocelyn was not a sycophant, so she spoke her mind. “Hmm, I don''t understand why won''t you agree to Ms. Seiler adopting Dahlia? I can clearly see that she genuinely adores the girl. Moreover, Cassandra had always been unkind to Dahlia. Dahlia needs a mother''s love."


    Nichs listened quietly before saying, "I really don''t know."


    Jocelyn couldn''t help but ask him


    ??


    again, "Istove really that important? More important than a child''s future? You''re willing to gamble a child''s future just for the chance to see Cecilia?"


    She knew that Nichs wanted to see Cecilia and was using the child to achieve his goal.


    Love?


    Nichs looked at Jocelyn. For a moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    Jocelyn looked straight at him. "Our lives are not just about love, right?"


    Nathaniel''s throat bobbed slightly as he took a sip of water.


    "Jocelyn, I''vee to realize that I just can''t let it go."


    Can''t let it go?


    Jocelyn didn''t understand.


    "Why do people change?" Nichs paused, then looked deeply into


    Jocelyn''s eyes. "Ceci changed


    swi


    so have you. Why is that?"


    Jocelyn waspletely taken aback, as she didn''t understand what he was getting at.


    When


    she couldn''t help but say, "No one e


    can remain the same We''re aren''t we?"


    all growing, aren''t we?"


    Nichs fell silent, no longer speaking.


    The atmosphere within the room seemed to have grown heavier.


    Seeing that he had stopped talking, Jocelyn didn''t bother to ask any further.


    She rose to her feet, ready to get back to work.


    Nichs asked again, "How are things between you and Yannick?"


    Jocelyn''s grip on the contract involuntarily tightened.


    "That''s my personal business."


    Nichs choked on himself, unable to utter another word.


    Without any hesitation, he stood up and left his office to meet Cecilia.


    Not long after Nichs left, Jocelyn noticed the rain that had started to fall outside without her realizing it.


    She thought about Nichs not having an umbre and hesitated for a moment, then she grabbed an umbre and went out after him.
