When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 1177 More Lively

“I know. You should hurry to the hospital,” he replied.

“Okay.”

After Jocelyn left. Nicholas slumped tiredly onto the couch, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Upon knowing that he had returned, Cassandra could hardly wait to find him. “Nicholas, my mom and Cassina have been at Rainsworth Manor for quite some time now, and you haven’t even bothered to entertain them.”

Upon hearing that, Nicholas looked up at her. “Aren’t you around? Please entertain Man and Cassina on my behalf

Hearing the form of address he used, Cassandra was overjoyed and clung to his arm. “I’m not you, am I? As the

you should entertain them. I’m sure my mom would be thrilled.”

“All right, I’ll go tomorrow,” responded Nicholas..

Cassandra noticed that he was constantly following her lead. She couldn’t help but reach out to undo Nicholas‘ shirt buttons.

They had been together for such a long time, yet she had never truly touched Nicholas.

The only time was when she tried to slip him some medicine, but he discovered it.

A button had just been undone when, in the next moment, Nicholas seized Cassandra’s wrist.

“Stop messing around. You’re still pregnant.”

“It’s been almost three months. It’s okay,” Cassandra explained.

Nicholas sternly said, “Don’t joke about matters involving your pregnancy, understand?”

After he finished speaking, he gradually pried open Cassandra’s hand and stood up, ready to return to his room.

Cassandra’s hand froze in place, the repeated rejections causing her mind to roar.

She hung her head low, unable to hold back her question any longer. “Nicholas, d–do you have some sort of mental issue?”

she asked.

If it wasn’t a matter of the mind, then it surely was of the body.

Nicholas had always been in poor health, living abroad for treatment. She wondered if there were issues related to his physical condition.

Cassandra, despite her affection for Nicholas, had no intention of marrying a man who couldn’t provide her happiness. She wasn’t ready to live a life of unfulfilled desires.

Nicholas paused in his steps, turning back to look at her.

“What did you say?”

Cassandra clenched her hands, looking up at him directly. “We’re about to get married. If there’s anything physically or mentally troubling you, I hope we can be honest with each other and not deceive one another.”

Any other man would have undoubtedly been in a hurry to prove himself, but not Nicholas. His eyes remained calm and undisturbed.

“Don’t worry. Before we get married, I’ll provide you with a health check–up report.”

After he finished speaking, he never looked back. He returned to his room and closed the door.

Cassandra sat on the couch, gazing at Nicholas‘ room with a hint of regret. How could I have possibly asked Nicholas that question just now? It sounded as though I didn’t trust him.

However, regret was futile, and indeed, she couldn’t accept a married life that didn’t involve s*x.

Cassandra rested her hand on her lower abdomen, hoping to wait until the child grew a little more before deciding what to do next.

After returning to his room, Nicholas immediately removed the clothes that Cassandra had touched earlier and discarded them straight into the trash bin.

Nicholas was getting married, and Wren, who was accustomed to his carefree life, had returned.

Returning together was Adrian’s father, who was also Nathaniel’s uncle, Robert.

Robert had returned not just to attend Nicholas‘ wedding, but he was also there to seize control of Rainsworth Group. Additionally, he was on a quest to find his good–for–nothing son.

Not long before, Miranda had a falling our with Adrian. It was only after their argument that she realized Adrian missing.

Unable to find him, she had no choice but to call Adrian’s father, who was far away overseas.

After entrusting his overseas business to Theodore, Robert hurriedly returned home.

Naturally, Nathaniel quickly became aware of this matter.

When Mason reported to him, he was somewhat worried. “Robert must have returned this time to seize Orion Corporation.”

Nathaniel remained unconcerned. “That is even better. It’ll be more lively.”
