SWNOVELS Chapter 715
Chapter 715 Confront Calvin
Upon seeing the incoming call, Cecilia immediately answered the call.
Neither of them spoke. She didn’t initiate a conversation either.
After allowing others to leave first, Nathaniel asked, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
The familiar, icy voice rang out, and Cecilia was completely reassured.
“Where are you now?” she asked.
“Is Calvin by your side?”
It was no wonder that Nathaniel was so suspicious. His current injury was due to his lack of caution.
“He left, and I’m alone in the room,” she said. Cecilia understood that he didn’t trust her, so she didn’t ask where he was. Instead, she asked, “Why have you come to Erihal?”
“Work.”
Naturally, Nathaniel would never admit that he had followed her because he was worried about her.
Cecilia didn’t believe his lies about work, yet she didn’t call him out.
“When will you finish work? Head home early.”
Cecilia knew that there were quite a few people who wanted Nathaniel’s life, not just Calvin.
Back when the two had just gotten married, Nathaniel almost lost his life overseas on several
occasions.
Since he was blind, being in a foreign country was undoubtedly more perilous.
On the other side, Nathaniel didn’t respond, as Mason entered after knocking on the door, lowering his voice to say, “Calvin has arrived.”
Nathaniel expressed his understanding and asked Mason to leave first.
Since Calvin was there, it confirmed that Cecilia was indeed alone in the room.
He leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes closed, playfully teasing Cecilia, “Why are you in such a rush for me to return? Are you worried about Calvin?”
Cecilia hadn’t expected that at this time, he would still be in the mood to joke around.
“I’m not worried about Calvin at all. You almost took his life back then. It’s only fair that you’re being hunted for revenge now.”
Upon hearing those words, Nathaniel merely chuckled lightly, offering no response. It seems a bit disheartening, doesn’t it?
After all, Cecilia only knew that he had dealt a deadly blow to Calvin, but she never asked why he wanted Calvin dead.
“Why are you chuckling?” Cecilia felt a hint of mockery in his chuckle. “Don’t you think your injuries are severe enough already?”
Nathaniel felt a persistent ache in his chest, prompting him to rise and step outside. His formidable aura seemed to suppress everything in its vicinity.
“Naturally, my injury is nothing significant.”
With a self–deprecating remark, he noticed traces of fresh blood staining the leather shoes he was wearing.
Not far off, Yannick had already been beaten to a pulp, curled up on the cold floor. Upon seeing. Nathaniel emerge, he didn’t want to put Calvin in a difficult position, so he continued to taunt, “Nathaniel, if you’ve got the guts, kill me! Otherwise, once I get the chance to fight back, you won’t be so lucky!”
Cecilia also heard Yannick’s voice, recalling the phone call Calvin had received just before she left.
She hadn’t expected things to have gotten so out of hand.
Nathaniel didn’t pay any heed to Yannick. Instead, he softly said to Cecilia, “You heard that, didn’t you? I’ve already caught the person who wants me dead. Calvin has also come over now. Do you want to hear his voice? After all, you two are friends.”
Cecilia unconsciously found herself flustered. “Nathaniel, don’t mess around.”
Nathaniel’s heart was filled with a chilling sense of dread when he heard her anxious voice. She didn’t worry when I was the one who got hurt. Yet, the moment I’ve mentioned Calvin, she gets this anxious. This woman truly hasn’t deceived me. She cares more about Calvin.
She had forgotten they were in Erihal, and no matter how capable Nathaniel was, it was impossible for him to take Calvin’s life.
Nathaniel returned to his room, slamming the door shut with a resounding bang, all the while suppressing his rage. He then asked Cecilia, “Before Calvin decided to lay a hand on me. did you tell him to not–mess around? Huh?”
Cecilia fell silent.
-Would you confront Calvin if I were to die today?” Nathaniel asked solemnly.
