When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512 Apologize Later
Zachary's hand froze mid-air. He didn't withdraw it after a while. “I...”

Before he could finish speaking, Cecilia turned around and returned to her room.

Zachary wanted to apologize for his past actions, but he was held back by Nathaniel from behind. “Nathaniel, why are you pulling me?”

Nathaniel slightly parted his thin lips. “Apologize later.”

It was St. Patrick's Day, and he didn't want to be dragged into Zachary's problem.

Upon hearing that, Zachary also felt that he shouldn't be hasty. “All right then.”

He initially wanted to meet Cecilia's son, but he thought it seemed more appropriate to leave. “Then, I'll head back now. I'll come to see you guys next time.”

“All right.”

Zachary entered the car and left.

When Cecilia returned to her room, she lounged on the couch, continuing with her book.

After a while, when Nathaniel returned, she asked, “When you mentioned that you had something to deal with, were you referring to Zachary?”

Nathaniel was worried about being implicated by Zachary, so when Cecilia asked about it, he immediately distanced himself. “I didn't know about what Zachary said.”

Closing her book, Cecilia looked at him intently. “That's good because Zachary and I could never be friends, at least not right now.”

She didn't interfere with who Nathaniel chose to befriend, but she had her own way of making friends.

Nathaniel quietly sat next to her, naturally pulling her into his embrace. “Whatever you say goes.”

Cecilia was taken aback for a moment before attempting to pull his hand away. “I'm going to read a book now.”

“What book are you reading?” Nathaniel asked without letting her go.

“It's just an ordinary law book taken from your study,” Cecilia replied.

Nathaniel's study was a miniature library, housing all sorts of books.

Paula was still in detention at the time, and no verdict had yet been passed. Additionally, Cecilia had plans to reclaim the Smith family's property, so she wanted to know more about the law.
