When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698 Playing It Fair
Cecilia stepped out of the car with Jonathan by her side.

A broad smile spread across George's face. “Sweetie.”

Jonathan ran toward him, calling out, “Great-grandpa.”

George pulled out a few trinkets from his pocket, presenting them as if they were precious treasures. “Look, I carved these when I was bored at home. What do you think?”

“Good job, but this area needs more precision.” Jonathan pointed out the flaws in the wood carving without hesitation.

George nodded. “All right, noted.”

“Go ahead inside first, I need to have a few words with your mom.”

“Okay.”

After Jonathan entered the house, Cecilia walked over.

“Old Mr. Sinclair.”

As George gazed at the scars on her face, he couldn't help but sigh. “Have they been caught?”

Cecilia shook her head. “It seems like he fled to another country.”

“If anyone dares to harm you or Jonathan, no matter where they are, I'll find a way to track them down.”

George wasn't just all talk, he had long since arranged for people to look into it.

Knowing it was related to Queenie, he specifically investigated the people around Queenie.

“Thank you, Old Mr. Sinclair.”

“Don't worry about it. Jonathan’s my direct descendant, so you’re practically my granddaughter. Plus, your grandfather and I were close back in the day.”

Cecilia nodded.

“Grandpa, did you keep me here alone for something important?”

“It’s nothing, really. I’m just here to apologize on Zach's behalf,” George said, aware of Zachary's past mistakes, especially mistaking his savior and targeting Cecilia. “That foolish boy of mine can’t even remember who saved his life.”

Cecilia fell silent.

She didn't want to forgive so easily, feeling it would be a disservice to the part of her that had been hurt before.
