When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1285

Chapter 1285 Cassina Receives The News
Sven quickly followed up. “However, my feelings for Cecilia aren't romantic. I can only say that I consider her a friend.”

Upon hearing these words, Nathaniel was somewhat surprised.

“Mr. Rainsworth, you must have had someone look into my background, right? Currently, I just want to lead a normal life and avoid getting involved in conflicts. Rest assured, I'll only consider Cecilia as a friend.”

“That would be just perfect.”

Upon observing Sven's expression, Nathaniel realized that the former wasn't lying.

After all, if two men were to engage in underhanded schemes, it would truly be unbecoming of them.

“The misunderstanding was mine. I look forward to working together in the future.” Nathaniel extended his hand.

Sven shook hands with him. This time the hostility that had previously existed between the two was gone.

When Cecelia noticed that Nathaniel hadn't returned after a while, she went out to check on him. To her surprise, she found him standing with Sven, engaged in a conversation she knew nothing about.

She walked over just as Nathaniel was turning back.

“What were you and Sven discussing just now?” Cecilia asked.

“It's nothing, just expressing my gratitude for his protection of you and our children,” Nathaniel responded.

Cecilia was somewhat skeptical, but she knew that further questioning would yield nothing. So, she said, “Alright then, I have something to attend to tonight, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. Can you watch Eli?”

“Alright,” Nathaniel agreed readily.

He didn't press Cecilia about where she was going, as he had already gotten a clue from Elliot.

Cecilia had a brief chat with Lucille and the others before she left.

Sitting in the car, Cecilia dialed Cassina's number.

The call was quickly answered. “Ms. Smith, what can I do for you?”

Due to the preparations for Cassandra's wedding previously, the two had exchanged phone numbers.

“Ms. Cassina,” Cecilia began, “I've found your foster mother. I'm not sure if you're currently available, but if you are, shall we go see her together?”
