When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1794

Chapter 1794 Memories Of Regas
“Your father was actually just an ordinary man.” Queenie paused, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as if a thought had just occurred to her. “But he was incredibly handsome. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been with him.”

Cecilia gave a nod.

Queenie let out a sigh. “Actually, I don't know where to start. But let me put it this way, his family background is very simple—he's just a child from an ordinary family. However, he worked hard and managed to achieve success in Damn on his own effort alone. I first met him at a business gathering. Somehow, we just ended up together. Then we got engaged, and you came into our lives.”

Queenie was recounting her past in a simplified manner.

“Things weren't exactly peaceful in the Jamieson family back then. I had a brother who was adopted. When he found out I was pregnant, and that I was with your father, he feared we would vie for the Jamieson family's wealth. So, he decided to undermine us discreetly. He sent you to the orphanage. To be precise, he wanted you dead. But fortunately, his subordinate had a soft heart at that time and let you go. As for me, after giving birth to you, I was extremely weak and nearly perished in the fire. It was your father who saved me from a sea of flames. Yet, while I survived, he didn't...”

Talk of Regas' death brought tears to Queenie's eyes, her fists clenching in response.

“He had clearly promised me that he would survive and live on with me, but he broke that promise, and I can't forgive him even now.”

Her voice was choked with emotion.

She claimed she couldn't forgive him, but in truth, it was just an excuse she had crafted for herself, one to stop herself from thinking of him.

After hearing everything in silence, Cecilia didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, she said, “Mom, Dad would have definitely wanted you to live happily.”

Queenie held back her tears, managing not to let them fall, and nodded.

“Mmm-hmm, I know,” she said.

She looked at Cecilia again. “By the way, your father's surname is Evans too.”

Cecilia was taken aback.
