Chapter 276 Cannot Keep Going Like This Forever


    After discussing the divorcewsuit with Vivian, Cecilia wasted no time. They immediately began drafting theint. “We can’t keep going like this forever,” Cecilia said as she reviewed the draft.


    She nced over the indictment, then looked at Vivian. “Just let me know what information you need from me,” Cecilia added. “I want to wrap up thiswsuit as soon as possible. Are you. confident we can do that?”


    Vivian hesitated briefly, then replied cautiously, “Back then, if you bring up your previous medical records, your chances of winning will be around eighty percent.”


    After their marriage, Cecilia had struggled to conceive despite undergoing various treatments. Additionally, she had suffered from severe depression and had been living separately from Nathaniel for several years. The odds were in her favor to win the divorce case.


    Cecilia nodded in agreement. “All right, I’ll gather everything and give it to you.”


    “And if there’s any evidence of Nathaniel and Ste being together, or any proof of Nathaniel treating you badly, that would help too,” Vivian added.


    Cecilia understood the implications.


    “Should I submit thewsuit today then?” Vivian asked.


    “Yeah.”


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel returned to deal with the shareholders who had been making moves behind the scenes. He remained unaware that Cecilia had already filed for divorce in court.


    After finishing his work, Nathaniel headed straight back to Daltonia Vi. Cecilia had returned. home as well, but despite the warmth of the house, she was still bundled up tightly, curled up on the couch.


    Upon entering, Nathaniel set his overcoat aside and turned up the temperature a few degrees. “Have you eaten?” he asked.


    Cecilia looked up from her spot on the couch, her voice detached. “Yes.”


    Nathaniel walked closer, noticing how tightly she was wrapped up, almost like a dumpling. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “I haven’t eaten yet. Let’s go have a meal together.”


    “I don’t want to,” Cecilia replied, still curled up on the couch.


    After her health deteriorated, Cecilia became particrly sensitive to the cold. Previously, when she was abroad, the temperatures were never this low.


    Nathaniel sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms. “Are you feeling warm now?” he asked gently.


    Cecilia was taken aback by the sudden closeness.


    “Shall we go to the hospital for a check–up?” Nathaniel asked again.


    “No,” Cecilia immediately refused. She had been to the hospital for check–ups before, and the doctors had advised her that her sensitivity to cold required gradual nurturing. She pushed him away and leaned into the corner of the couch.


    Nathaniel felt a void deep within him, as if his heart was hollow and empty. “I was too harsh with my wordsst night,” he began, pausing before adding, “If Calvin doesn’t want those two kids, I’ll bring them back.”


    Ever since the DNA test confirmed that the child wasn’t his, Nathaniel had been lost in thought. As long as he could keep Cecilia by his side, he didn’t mind raising two more children.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Cecilia looked at him in surprise, hardly believing he would actually be willing to raise someone else’s child.


    Nathaniel, sensing her doubt, spoke up again. “I will provide them with the best education and. life, but you must promise me that from now on, you’ll have no involvement with Calvin.”


    Cecilia still found it hard to believe him. She knew his unpredictable moods all too well and had experienced his indifference firsthand. She cast her gaze downward. “No need. I can take care of my own child.”


    Nathaniel listened intently to her words, each one widening the distance between them. His voice was slightly hoarse as he responded, “It’s up to you.”


    The assistant had brought dinner for Nathaniel, but he barely touched his food. That night, he held Cecilia tightly as they slept, refusing to let her go.


    As Cecilia stared into the inky darkness outside, she whispered, “Nathaniel, I don’t love you.”


    Nathaniel’s body stiffened slightly..


    Cecilia continued, reminiscing about their childhood. “Honestly, even now, I can’t clearly distinguish between who was you and who was Nichs back then. I was such a fool, wasn’t I? If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have been entangled for so long.”
