When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449 Not Happy
Feigning ignorance of Cecilia's presence, Nathaniel strode in quickly and set down the gift bag he was carrying.

Cecilia asked in confusion, “What are you doing with my stuff?”

She descended the stairs and stole a glance at the inside of the bag. The box was still there.

“Have you looked at it?” Cecilia asked again.

Nathaniel stood still. “No, I can't see.”

However, Cecilia didn't believe him. He had clearly picked the gift up and taken it outside. Perhaps, he had already asked someone to help him take a look.

“Do you want to know what's inside?” Cecilia asked him deliberately.

Nathaniel's handsome eyebrows slightly raised. “No.”

Cecilia didn't show any signs of anger either. After sitting down, she opened the box.

“The gift your brother gave me is quite valuable. It is a gold pendant. Is it okay if I keep it?”

Nathaniel listened in silence as she deliberately deceived him. However, he couldn't expose her lies.

He thought it was pointless to be jealous over the things she did when she was young, but he couldn't help expressing his displeasure. “Hmm.”

Cecilia could tell that he knew what was inside immediately.

Since he snuck a peek at her belongings and refused to admit it, she didn't discard it in front of him. Instead, she intentionally brought it back to her room.

Nathaniel remained in the living room alone, his complexion worsened.

After Cecilia descended the stairs, he sat on the sofa in silence.

Cecilia purposefully ignored him as she peeled an apple for herself to eat.

“Do you want one?”

“No.”

Seeing his rather haughty demeanor, Cecilia didn't bother to explain herself. “It's getting late. I'm going to sleep.”

With that, she got up to leave. But before she could even take two steps, Nathaniel raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace with one swift motion.
