When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622 This Is For You
The dinner for that day was delivered from the school.

Everyone's attempt at catching fish at noon didn't yield much. It was barely enough to whet the appetite.

At dinner time, both parents and children were tired. They had expended a lot of energy and lost their usual pickiness toward food.

During mealtime, Felix would often steal glances at Jonathan.

He was envious of the many companions by Jonathan's side, yet he scorned the idea of becoming one of them.

Miranda had no appetite for food. Her mind was consumed by the anticipation of significant events set to unfold that night. She was exceptionally anxious.

She glanced at Cecilia, observing a family basking in joy and harmony, which inevitably stirred feelings of envy within her.

After they had dinner, they each retired for the night.

Miranda went over to Nathaniel and asked, “Nathaniel, do you find the food to your liking? If it's not to your taste, I've brought some food with me. It's healthier.”

Nathaniel didn't even glance at her as he replied, “No thank you.”

His aloof demeanor was a stark contrast to the day before, leaving Miranda somewhat puzzled.

Nathaniel had asked her to wipe his sweat, but then he suddenly changed, as if he had become a completely different person.

“I'm your cousin's wife. You don't need to stand on ceremony with me,” Miranda said, then went to fetch the food before Nathaniel could refuse again.

She felt certain that Nathaniel was behaving this way to prevent people around him from gossiping.

Cecilia was absentmindedly pulling grass from the ground next to Jonathan when she noticed Miranda and Nathaniel engaged in a private conversation, sparking her curiosity.

She asked Jonathan, “What are Miranda and your daddy talking about?”

Jonathan was deeply absorbed in pulling grass, believing that Cecilia enjoyed it.

Only after hearing Cecilia's question did he belatedly realize that his father was once again fooling around.

“Mommy, I'll go over and ask.”

“No, forget it, there's nothing to ask.”

Cecilia feared disturbing Nathaniel's business, and she thought it odd to send Jonathan to inquire. It would make it appear as if she were secretly spying on Nathaniel.
