Cecilia’s eyes were filled with confusion as she looked around, surrounded by unfamiliar arrangements,

Where is this place?

Wasn’t I at the cemetery yesterday?

Then, there was Nathaniel.

He took me away back then.

She observed Nicholas, who was lying beside her. His attire was utterly different from Nathaniel’s, and this place was certainly not Seabay Villa.

Cecilia glanced at herself. Noticing she hadn’t changed her clothes, she got up from the bed.

Despite her light movements, she still caused the person next to her to stir.

Nicholas opened his eyes. “You’re awake? Are you still feeling unwell?”

The gentleness in his voice, along with his clear–sighted eyes, gave Cecilia the confirmation that he was not Nathaniel.

“How did I end up here?”

“You passed out at the cemetery yesterday.” Nicholas began. “I noticed you had a fever, so I brought you back here.”

After hearing this, Cecilia noticed the fever patches by the bedside table.

“Thank you.”

“I’ve already told you, there’s no need for ‘thank yous‘ between us.”

The man rose to his feet. Perhaps due to a sleepless night, he stood somewhat unsteadily, looking as if he was on the verge of collapsing.

Immediately, Cecilia rushed to his aid.

However, Nicholas was a towering man of 1.9 meters; how could she possibly support him? The next moment, both of them tumbled onto the bed.

A housekeeper came over to serve breakfast, only to find the two of them entwined in an embrace.

She quickly lowered her head. “I’ve brought your breakfast, Mr. Nicholas.”

She set down the food and promptly left.

Everyone here was well aware that Nicholas was already engaged, and the woman whom he had brought cover this time was not, by any means, his fiancée.

As the housekeeper descended the stairs, fear inevitably crept in He’s gotten himself a new woman. Am I going to be silenced for witnessing this?

Back inside the room, a flustered Cecilia quickly rolled herself out Nicholas‘ arms, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “I’m sorry,” she muttered.

The man couldn’t help but smile as he watched her.

“It’s fine.”

He rose once more. “Let’s have breakfast.”

“There’s no need. I can just eat outside.” At that moment, all Cecilia wanted was to leave this place ast quickly as possible.

As though not having heard what she had said, Nicholas placed the food on the table and then said to her, *Breakfast is ready. Have some before you leave. If youre feeling uncomfortable with me around, I can

leave.”

He then strode out of the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Cecilia had never anticipated today’s events. After getting out of bed, she casually freshened up and glanced at the simple breakfast on the table, managing to eat a few bites despite everything.

She found her phone and only upon switching it on did she realize that it had somehow powered off at some point without her knowledge.

Assuming it had simply died, she didn’t give it much thought.

After finishing breakfast, she descended the stairs, only to find no sign of Nicholas. All she saw was the person who had delivered her breakfast earlier..

“Hello. Could you possibly lend me your phone charger?”

The housekeeper immediately lent her a charger.

Thank you.”

Cecilia immediately headed back to the room to charge her phone.

She was planning to hail a cab later, and not having a phone would make things difficult.

However, it was only when she plugged her phone in that she realized her battery still had over forty percent left.

“Was it switched off by accident?”

Cecilia pressed the power button and soon discovered several missed calls.

Three of the calls had been made by Sven, and another one was from Nathaniel in the morning.

Cecilia returned Sven’s calls first.

Quickly, the other end connected.

“Are you alright?” Sven was the first to speak.

“I’m okay I’m at a friend’s place” Cecilia couldn’t mit bring herself to tell him that she was at Nicholas‘

house.

She was unaware that the man had already found out, which explained Sven’s calm demeanor. “Alright.”

The man didn’t say much.

After explaining things to him, Cecilia then dialed Nathaniel’s number.
