When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468 Shopping For Clothes
Soon, they arrived at a mall in Sparaville.

Cecilia got out of the car to buy some things, with Sven following her. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

“Someone's following us.”

Upon hearing those words, Cecilia also halted. “Are you referring to Nathaniel's bodyguards?”

They were not far off. Cecilia wasn't fond of having a crowd tailing her, and it was expected that they wouldn't come.

“No, these are some unfamiliar faces. Let's go shopping first.”

“Alright.”

Cecilia had always been confident in Sven.

Calvin had once said even twenty ordinary men combined was no match for Sven.

Sven had survived through the most gruesome conditions imaginable.

Inside the mall, Cecilia chose clothes for her family. Picking outfits for the two children and Martha was a breeze, but when it came to Nathaniel, she found herself hesitating.

In the past, Nathaniel was always dressed in expensive, tailor-made clothing. His wardrobe was strictly monochromatic, exuding gloom and devoid of any cheerfulness.

Upon considering these factors, Cecilia specifically chose some inexpensive clothes for Nathaniel. All of them were in bright colors.

“Sven, why don't you pick out a couple of outfits too?”

Sven stood at the door, overhearing Cecilia's words. He was taken aback at first but quickly rejected the offer: “That's not necessary. Thank you.”

Cecilia gave the matter some thought.

She recalled that Sven had previously returned to his hometown, specifically to call off his engagement with his fiancée. Could it be that he now has a girlfriend, which makes it awkward for him to let me pay for his clothes?

Cecilia hurriedly clarified, “Don't get the wrong idea. You're free to choose. As your boss, I'll cover the expenses. Even if your girlfriend finds out, she won't be upset.”

As a woman, she understood boundaries and knew it was inappropriate to buy clothes for men who already had a girlfriend or a wife.

An unusual expression crossed Sven's normally cold and rigid face. “I don't have a girlfriend. I declined because I'm already paid a salary.”

When the engagement with his fiancée was initially called off, it was primarily due to them lacking any real feelings for each other. Secondly, it was because his fiancée had betrayed him.

Now, Cecilia felt even more awkward.
