<strong>Chapter 279 Lawsuit Approved</strong>


    Nathaniel didn’t respond. For him, anything he wanted was always within reach. Cecilia didn’t press further and settled down on the couch, taking in the familiar surroundings with a distant gaze.


    “If you like it here, we can make this our home,” Nathaniel suggested seriously.


    Cecilia felt he had misunderstood her. For someone who had been unloved by her mother since childhood, she actually didn’t have any fondness for this ce. Even though her father had been kind to her, he spent most of his time working, and when he was away, she had felt like an outsider in her own home.


    “I don’t want to live here,” Cecilia stated firmly.


    Nathaniel fell silent. Cecilia continued, “You should give the house back to Ste. It’s better for us to keep things clear between us.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Just a few days ago, Vivian had submitted the divorce papers to the court. It wouldn’t be long before Nathaniel found out. Cecilia got up. “If there’s nothing else, I need to go to Vivian’s ce today.”


    Before Nathaniel could respond, she had already slipped on her coat and stepped out the door into the cold. Nathaniel didn’t stop her but had someone follow her, instructing them not to let her run away.


    Cecilia had no intentions of running. She was simply waiting for the court date to finalize the divorce. She took a taxi to Vivian’s rented apartment, where Vivian was busy preparing legal documents. Cecilia had arranged for her medical records from her overseas hospital stay to be sent as well.


    “Did the court approve the filing?” Cecilia asked.


    “Yes, it just passed the review. Nathaniel should receive it by tonight,” Vivian replied.


    “Then I won’t be going back tonight,” Cecilia said, bringing over a nket and draping it over Vivian’s legs.


    Vivian looked concerned. “If you don’t go home tonight, will Nathaniel lose his temper?”


    “It would be perfect if he does. You have some sort of recording device here, don’t you?” Cecilia asked.


    Vivian immediately understood. “Of course, how could awyer not have a recording device?” She pinned a small brooch onto Cecilia’s outfit. “If he dares to do anything inappropriate, just press here and it’ll start recording.”


    Cecilia nodded. “Okay.”


    Meanwhile, after Cecilia left for Vivian’s ce, Nathaniel found himself in a foul mood. For reasons he couldn’t understand, he noticed a change in Cecilia–once so easy to please, now she


    seemed indifferent, no matter what he did.


    A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.


    “Come in.”


    Mason entered with a distressed look, holding a copy of thewsuit. He handed it to Nathaniel. “Mr. Rainsworth, please don’t be angry.”


    Nathaniel took the papers with a puzzled expression, only to see the prominent words at the top


    -summons for divorce.


    His eyes narrowed as he flipped through the document, realizing Cecilia had filed for divorce.. His throat tightened, and his deep–set eyes grew colder by the second.


    “When did this happen?” he demanded.


    “The notice came from the courthouse this afternoon,” Mason replied.


    Nathaniel casually tossed thewsuit papers into the shredder, a coldugh escaping his lips. “I knew there was a reason she agreed toe back with me. Summons for divorce? I can’t believe she actually thought of that!”


    He picked up his phone to call Cecilia, his hand trembling slightly as he dialed her number. Cecilia answered quickly. “You’re filing for divorce?” Nathaniel asked, getting straight to the point.


    “Yes,” Cecilia didn’t hide anything. “The reason I came back this time was to prepare for our divorce.”


    “Don’t worry, we can divorce, and I won’t ask for anything. The court has epted the case. I won’t be returning to Daltonia Vi today,” Cecilia replied calmly, ending the call before Nathaniel could respond.
