When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1917

Chapter 1917 Just Be More Understanding
Magnus was stunned. “How could this be? Didn't he really like you?”

Cecilia sighed. “You and Nathaniel are both men. So tell me, can a man truly remain endlessly devoted to a woman?”

Magnus fell silent.

As a man himself, he understood all too well the reality of such things. The idea of unwavering devotion seemed far-fetched.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked, “By the way, did you get in touch with Chelsea's parents?”

At the mention of this, Cecilia's expression darkened with feigned anger. “Magnus, why didn't you tell me you were drowning in debt?”

“Huh?” Magnus was caught off guard. “How do you know about that?”

“I had no clue at first. But when I introduced you to Chelsea's mother, she told me she did a background check on you. She said you had no real skills and were burdened with debt. Is that true?”

With this revelation out in the open, it would be difficult for Magnus to ask Cecilia to continue assisting him.

As expected, his expression changed drastically.

“How did they even find out?”

“Tell me, who would willingly marry their only daughter to you? Even Nathaniel got into an argument with me over this. He said you lacked ambition, yet you were aiming to marry someone from the Rainsworth family.”

The mere mention of Nathaniel was enough to make Magnus fall silent.

“Cecilia, I'm sorry for putting you in a tough spot.”

If he had realized earlier how much his actions would stand in the way of his chances with Chelsea, he never would have acted so carelessly.
