When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 128 Saved Someone Before

After getting into the car, Nathaniel took one last look at the hospital. “What did you and Zachary talk about after I left just now?”

“He asked me if I had saved someone wh

I was in university,” Cecilia did not conceal the truth.

Saved someone? Nathaniel recalled that after Stella discovered Zachary and his own mother were in a car accident when she was still in university, she saved them both. “And then?”

“And then you came over.” Cecilia didn’t want to dwell on that matter, especially when it was getting late, and Nathaniel was set to attend the anniversary event that night.

Cecilia didn’t see the need to follow him back to the company. Gazing at the flurry of leaves outside the car window, she said, “I want to go back.”

“Join me at the anniversary event tonight,” he said,

A flicker of surprise flashed across Cecilia’s eyes.

Nathaniel didn’t offer any explanation. Instead, he instructed the driver to head to the meeting venue.

Before the anniversary event officially began, Nathaniel arranged for Cecilia to be in a quiet, private room.

She changed into a turquoise gown, exuding an ethereal purity, as though she was a celestial. being untouched by the mundane world.

Nathaniel lingered at the entrance of the private room. As he stared at her, a stunned look flashed past her eyes.

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. “Wait

back together tonight.”

Cecilia looked up at him, nodded, and said, “All right.”

Her obedient demeanor stirred a ripple of emotions within Nathaniel’s heart.

Without uttering another word, he briskly walked away.

It was the company’s anniversary event, so Stella and Elena also arrived early.

“You’re saying Cecilia returned to Daltonia Villa?” Elena asked.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah. I’m not really sure what’s going on, but she’s probably bothering Nathaniel again. After all, they’re still technically married, and she’s a difficult person to deal with.” Stella didn’t reveal to Elena that it was Nathaniel who had arranged for Cecilia to return to Daltonia Villa.

Gently, Elena took a sip of the red wine in her hand.

At the previous birthday feast, she stumbled upon Cecilia and Nathaniel in an ambiguou

“Just trash.”

situation. Could it be that my son still has feelings for Cecilia?

A hint of worry flickered in her eyes as she faced Stella. “When will she finally let my son go?”

Once she finished speaking, her gaze shifted toward Stella, and she said, “Since Nathaniel hast agreed to marry you, you should find a way to get pregnant soon. Today, I will help you once.”

Stella’s eyes were filled with gratitude. “Rest assured, I will not disappoint you.”

Elena nodded.

After the secretary informed her of Nathaniel’s arrival, she declined to converse with other wealthy women and headed straight toward Nathaniel.

Stella stood a short distance away, clutching her wine glass nervously as she watched.

As soon as Nathaniel made his appearance at the banquet, he instantly became the center of everyone’s attention.

Elena had her secretary lead him aside, then had someone bring over some wine. “Nathaniel, the company’s success today is largely thanks to you. On behalf of your father and grandfather, I pay my respects to you.”

Nathaniel found it hard to refuse.

Meanwhile, Cecilia was seated on the second floor in a private room, from which she could clearly see the view outside.

It was a one–way window; she could see outside, but those outside couldn’t see the interior.

She picked up a glass of wine, her gaze drifting over the bustling crowd outside. Instantly, she spotted Elena and Stella, as well as Nathaniel, who was surrounded by bodyguards.

Just as Cecilia was about to avert her gaze, her body suddenly froze.

Just moments ago, she noticed a waiter near Elena slip something into the wine.

Then, Elena handed that glass of wine to Nathaniel.

At the same time, Stella walked toward the two.

Even if Cecilia was stupid, she’d understood what Elena and Stella were planning to do.

She couldn’t help but rise, intending to leave.

The bodyguard hastily stopped her. “Ms. Smith, Mr. Rainsworth has asked you to wait for him. here.”

Cecilia winced. “Can’t I even make a trip to the restroom?”

She wasn’t really worried about Nathaniel being taken advantage of by his mother. Rather, She thought that, if her assumptions were correct, she wanted to seize that opportunity.

Anyway, the bodyguard couldn’t exactly stop her and allowed her to leave.
