Chapter 1523 Cecilia Lets Her Guard Down 

Nathaniel rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. 

This younger brother of mine just can’t behave himself, huh? 

After a brief pause, he said, “Understood. Keep a close eye on him.” 

“Got it,” Darren replied. 

With business matters settled, their conversation naturally shifted toward personal affairs. Darren’s expression grew heavier as he vented his frustrations. 

His situation was even worse than Nathaniel’s. Madeline was dead set on getting a divorce and was even planning to take Amelia’s custody. 

“I just don’t get it,” Darren continued, his voice tinged with bitterness. “Wasn’t I good to her? Why is she so determined to leave me?” 

Nathaniel contemplated how to respond to Darren. After a moment, he said calmly, “Make sure you explain things clearly. Don’t leave yourself with any regrets.” 

The root of the numerous conflicts between him and Cecilia lay in misunderstandings. Had they cleared things up earlier, they might have avoided much of the pain and turmoil they had endured. 

Meanwhile, in the guestroom, Cecilia and Vivian lay in bed. 

Vivian clung to Cecilia’s arm, saying emotionally, “Ceci, you’re finally back. If you hadn’t returned, I would have been burdened with guilt for the rest of my life.” 

She blamed herself for arriving too late at the hospital the day Cecilia went missing. 

Cecilia gently patted her back. “Silly girl, it’s not your fault. You don’t have to feel guilty.” 

Even so, Vivian couldn’t shake the lingering fear. The past year had been a torment of guilt and sorrow that weighed heavily on her heart. 

“You’re right. We must all stay safe and happy.” 

Cecilia nodded and asked Vivian, “Vivian, do you think I should trust Nathaniel?” 

She really didn’t know who to trust anymore. 

Vivian asked in confusion, “Why do you ask? 

Cecilia flashed a helpless smile. “Perhaps I’m just traumatized after being deceived.” 

Vivian replied thoughtfully, “I’m not sure if you should trust Nathaniel right now, but one thing is certain: 

if you hadn’t lost your memory, you would definitely have chosen to believe him.” 

Though Nathaniel had hurt Cecilia deeply in the past, everything had eventually been clarified. He had changed, and had risked his life multiple times for her sake. 

A man like him should be trustworthy.

As Cecilia listened to Vivian’s words, she made up her mind. “Thank you. I understand now.”

“Remember, you can trust me too,” Vivian said gently. “You have to believe in me. And if you can’t bring yourself to trust me completely, at least trust Jon and Eli. They are your sons, after all.” 

“Got it,” Cecilia replied softly. With a sense of relief, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
