When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 911 Badmouthing Cecilia

Cecilia was still immersed in the moments he had saved her.

Amused by his question, she gave his arm a playful pinch and said, “Do you have nothing better to ask?”

Before she could add on, the ring of her cellphone interrupted their intimate conversation abruptly.

“Who’s that?” Nathaniel couldn’t help but ask.

Cecilia picked up her phone and saw that it was Calvin. She responded truthfully, “It’s Calvin.”

Nathaniel sounded like a jealous young man when he said, “Turn on the speaker. I want to hear why he’s calling you.”

The day before, even though Cecilia was merely acting, seeing her in such harmony with Calvin made him feel jealous.

Helpless, Cecilia turned on the loudspeaker.

“Hello, Calvin.” Cecilia answered the call.

“I called Sven yesterday and found out everything. Are you okay now?” Calvin asked.

“Yes, I’m fine now,” Cecilia responded.

Calvin continued, “That’s good. However, I stand by what I said yesterday. If you’re willing, I’ll send someone to bring you here. As long as you’re with me, I assure you that you won’t get hurt.”

Nathaniel’s face darkened considerably.

Before Cecilia could even reply, Nathaniel blurted, “Mr. Reese, there’s no need for you to go out of your way for my wife.”

Calvin never imagined that his conversation with Cecilia would be overheard by Nathaniel.

Without any hint of politeness, he said, “Mr. Rainsworth, if you could ensure her safety, I wouldn’t have to worry. Let me warn you, Ceci is like my sister. If you can’t protect her, you better return her to me. Unlike you, I will never let my woman or child get hurt.”

Nathaniel tightly clenched his fist. This time he truly had nothing to say.

Cecilia was quick to reassure Calvin, saying, “Calvin, I’m not hurt. Don’t worry about me, I’m really okay. When I have time, I’ll come back to visit you at Erihal.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Calvin stared at the disconnected call, seething with anger. He threw a punch at the wall in frustrat

He was truly filled with regret now. Why hadn’t he gone to Tudela earlier to stop Cecilia from marrying Nathaniel?

Inside the ward, Nathaniel’s mind was filled with Calvin’s words. Indeed, he had put Cecilia in danger this time.

Ethan was out to get Nathaniel. If it hadn’t been for him, Cecilia would not have been injured.

On top of that, he still needed Cecilia’s assistance to buy themselves some time because he was blind!

Aside from when he first took over Rainsworth Group, he had never felt this defeated before.

Unaware of Nathaniel’s thoughts, Cecilia stood up to get breakfast when she noticed someone bringing food over. She then served Nathaniel a bowl of oatmeal.

“Come, eat this.”

Nathaniel took the bowl and spoon handed to him, only cating a little. He didn’t have much of an appetite.

On the other hand, Cecilia certainly had her fill.

After having breakfast, Nathaniel’s phone began to ring.

He picked up the phone. It was Elena who was calling. “Nathaniel, aren’t you coming over today?”

At that moment, Cecilia remembered that it was Labor Day. Usually on holidays, they would return to the Rainsworth Manor.

Since she forgot all about it, she even asked Sven to take Elliot to school.

“I’m not coming back this time,” Nathaniel responded.

The current incident hadn’t yet become the talk of the town. Everyone was still unaware that Cecilia and Jessica had been kidnapped, and that Nathaniel had been injured.

Nathaniel had also cautioned Mason to warn Jessica not to speak recklessly in public.

“Did Cecilia tell you not to come back? This girl is becoming more and more unreasonable.”

“I made the decision myself.”

With that, Nathaniel hung up the phone.

At the dining table, Elena couldn’t help but feel annoyed. “It must be something Cecilia said again. Ever since Nathaniel’s car accident, he’s like a changed person, always listening to Cecilia.”

Nicholas listened quietly, offering no response.

Cassandra chimed in, “The way Cecilia behaves is truly inappropriate. Now, we have to invite her for her to come back. If something happens to Mom and Dad in the future, is she not going to come back too?”
