When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 425 One Glass To Knock Her Out

By the time they reached the Rainsworth residence, night had already fallen.

A housekeeper came to open the door. “Mr. Nathaniel, Ms. Smith, dinner is ready and waiting for

With a stoic expression, Nathaniel asked the housekeeper, “What did you call my wife?”

He could remember informing all the housekeepers to address Cecilia as Mrs. Rainsworth before he lost his memory.

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper lowered her head and immediately corrected herself, “Mrs. Rainsworth.”

It wasn’t that she had forgotten Nathaniel’s order; it was just that Nicholas was in charge now. Besides that, she had grown accustomed to being at odds with Cecilia in the past.

Cecilia hadn’t expected Nathaniel to stand up for her. While surprised, her perception of him changed slightly for the better.

After they both got out of the car, they headed toward the dining room.

Nicholas and Cassandra had arrived here quite early. Due to the events of the day, Cassandra was subtly upset.

Swiftly, her gaze landed on the couple, Cecilia in particular.

Previously, Cassandra had only conducted a simple investigation into Cecilia, so she didn’t know what the latter looked like..

The person standing before her bore a striking resemblance to herself, though Cecilia’s eyes were notably more captivating. They were like a clear spring, unforgettable at first glance.

Only after seeing Cecilia wearing hearing aids did a hint of Cassandra’s jealousy case.

She rose to her feet. “Nathaniel, Cecilia.”

Cecilia gave a slight nod, putting on a good show.

The moment she stepped in, she had also paid attention to Cassandra. Indeed, the latter was exactly like what she had seen in the videos, and the aura she exuded was strikingly similar to Paula’s.

At that moment, Nicholas approached the two of them, calling out to Nathaniel, “Nathaniel.”

Nathaniel’s handsome face was impassive as he responded with a non–committal hum.

After Cecilia helped Nathaniel to sit down, the atmosphere in the dining room became somewhat strange.

Elena was still in her room, calling Wren to ask him to come back.

Wren hardly ever returned here unless there was something of importance..

After ending the call, Elena made her way to the dining room.

Upon spotting the four individuals in the dining room, she pulled out a chair and sat down. “Let’s eat.

During the meal, since Nathaniel couldn’t see, a housekeeper came over to serve him food.

Seeing this, Elena felt a hint of displeasure in her heart. “Cecilia, I’m not trying to scold you, but Nathaniel is your husband. Since he can’t see, can’t you feed him first and only eat after he’s finished?”

Before Cecilia could even voice a rebuttal, Nathaniel had already spoken.

“Ceci is my wife, not a servant.”

Elena was instantly rendered speechless.

This bout of amnesia had unexpectedly changed her son’s nature.

Cassandra silently watched as Nathaniel defended Cecilia, feeling a surge of jealousy welling up within her.

She glanced toward Nicholas, who was sitting next to her, and placed a serving of vegetables on his plate. “Here, Nicholas, eat more.”

Nicholas glanced at the extra vegetables on his plate, a trace of coolness flashing in his eyes, yet he replied gently, “All right. Make sure you eat more too.”

As he was speaking, his gaze subtly shifted toward Cecilia, and then he subtly signaled to the housekeeper who was attending to them at the side.

The housekeeper swiftly came over to pour some red wine.

As the meal progressed, everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

Cecilia realized something was off that day. She wouldn’t say she was the best drinker, but it was unlikely that a single glass of red wine could knock her out. Yet, now her head was spinning.

She assumed it was due to the long car ride she had taken that day and didn’t give it much thought.

Nathaniel was drinking the same wine as her. Having always been a fixture in the business world, he was naturally accustomed to all kinds of strategies.

He stealthily poured away the wine..

After finishing their meal, Cecilia stood up, ready to leave with Nathaniel.
