When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647 Impending Downfall
Something crossed Cecilia's mind, causing a wave of embarrassment to sweep over her. Her face flushed a deep shade of red.

As soon as Nathaniel noticed her loosening grip, he promptly withdrew his hand.

“Don't sleep on the couch in the future. It won't kill you to take a few more steps!” He was holding back and making sure that he didn't sound overly cold or friendly.

After all, they were still in a fight. Up until now, Cecilia hadn't apologized to him.

Cecilia knew he was concerned about her. She nodded. “Sorry for disturbing you. You should get some rest too.”

After she finished speaking, she settled back into her bed.

Nathaniel didn't go out to rest. After stepping out, he first asked Mason to find out what Cecilia had been up to that day and why she seemed so strange.

Then, he proceeded to wash up.

Mason was particularly distressed as he was having a romantic moment with his girlfriend when Nathaniel interrupted them. He decided that he would need a raise in the future.

He didn't conduct the investigation himself. Instead, he had his subordinates review the surveillance cameras. He found out that Cecilia had gone to see Paula. After pulling some strings, he quickly discovered what Cecilia had done that day.

After Nathaniel had finished freshening up and laid in bed, he heard Mason's reply.

“Mr. Rainsworth, Mrs. Rainsworth went to see Paula today. They had a heated argument and it seems like Mrs. Rainsworth made Paula so angry that Paula got hospitalized. Then, the lady and her lawyer had a chat. I'm not sure what they talked about, but it was probably about Paula,” said Mason, stifling a yawn.

Just as Nathaniel was about to speak, he heard a woman's voice. “Mason, why is your boss so... odd? It's midnight already and he's still making you work. Is he deprived of love? Isn't this the time to be all lovey-dovey with his wife?”

Following that, Nathaniel heard a voice that went, “Shush!”

He promptly hung up the phone.

I can't believe I was a victim of my assistant's public display of affection.

That night, Nathaniel found himself completely unable to sleep. He wished nothing more than to hold Cecilia tightly in his arms.

Yet, when he recalled how she was crying in her sleep from a nightmare, he became soft-hearted again.
