Chapter 284 First Love


    Suddenly, Cecilia felt a wave of sadness and disappointment wash over her. After all these years of being married and part of the Rainsworth family, she had never once asked them for anything.


    Instead, she had given everything she had to Nathaniel.


    Yet, in the end, the Rainsworth family were afraid of her taking their wealth.


    Should Iugh or cry at this ridiculous notion?


    Cecilia nced at Elena and remarked, “Well, it all depends on the court’s decision.”


    She did not want their money, but at that moment, she did want to reassure Elena.


    As expected, Elena became anxious and uneasy. As she watched Cecilia walk out of the restaurant,


    she immediately pulled out her phone and called Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel and Cecilia had been married for eight years.


    Over the course of those eight years, the growth of the Rainsworth Group was beyond anyone’s expectations. It evolved from a domestic business, sessfully went public, and eventually ranked among the top hundred conglomerates worldwide.


    If one were to consider dividing the value of the Rainsworth Group between Nathaniel and Cecilia over the span of eight years, the amount that Cecilia would receive exceeds hundreds of billions.


    “Where are you now, Nathaniel?” Elena asked impatiently as soon as the call connected.


    “My office.”


    Nathaniel had also seen the news report and was having his men find out the person responsible for the information leak.


    “I just spoke to Cecilia,” Elena said, her voice trembling with indignation. “The reports are right. She’s really after the Rainsworth Group. That woman is certainly ambitious!”


    Nathaniel did not believe what his mother had just told him.


    He did not want to prolong the conversation with her, and merely responded by saying, “It’s under control. Don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter.”


    He would simply refuse to divorce Cecilia.


    Nathaniel ended the call. His gaze shifted to the man scated not far away from him. Dressed in a bespoke Italian suit that hung perfectly on his frame, the man’s features were strikingly handsome. He wore cool and detached expression on his face.


    “Mr. Ernest, this article wasn’t written by you, was it?”

    Ernest wore an air of arrogance, “No.”


    Nathaniel pulled away his gaze, and asked casually. “You’ve been here for a week or two now. Haven’t you seen your ex–girlfriend yet?”


    He did not want to take Cecilia to court.


    Cecilia should not even be going to ces like the court.


    Moreover, he yearned to see her. He missed her intensely.


    Ernest was a perceptive man. He knew what was on Nathaniel’s mind. He replied, “Vivian is a hard–headed woman. Once she makes up her mind, she won’t change it.”


    The implication was clear. Even if Ernest went to see her personally, Vivian would not agree to persuade Cecilia to drop the divorce.


    Suddenly, Nathaniel realized that being too smart as a man was not always a good thing. No wonder Virion broke up with him.


    After Ernest left. Nathaniel pulled out his phone and scrolled through his message history with Cecilia


    He wanted to hear her voice, but he was afraid that Cecilia would reject his call..


    After much deliberation, he finally made the call. Even though it was not a video call, he still ran a hand through his hair self–consciously.


    Beep!


    Nathaniel’s heart leapt to his throat.


    Finally, the line connected. “What’s up?”


    The familiar voice brought an indescribable joy to Nathaniel’s heart.


    “Did you see the news?” Nathaniel asked, trying to spark a conversation.


    “I saw it, but it wasn’t me,” replied Cecilia.


    Nathaniel rose from his seat, moving towards the window. “I know.”


    “Is there anything else?”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Cecilia thought that he had called to confront her about what had happened with Elena.


    Yet, Nathaniel did not mention a word about it. He simply gazed out at the snow falling outside. his window and murmured, “It’s snowing.”


    It had been snowing continuously recently.

    “Yeah.”


    “Will youe out and meet me?” Nathaniel asked tentatively.


    “I don’t think that’s a good idea. If there’s nothing else, I’m gonna end the call now.”


    Cecilia promptly hung up.


    Vivian looked up from the documents that was organizing and asked, “Nathaniel?”


    “Yeah.”


    “Why did he call?”


    Cecilia shook his head, “Just to tell me that it’s snowing.”


    “That’s really strange.”


    Vivian carried on with her task.


    The divorce case between Nathaniel and Cecilia would draw massive attention. She would have to


    be careful for the next few dave


    However, what she did not know yet was that tomorrow would not just be the day of the divorce proceedings, but also the day she would once again meet her first love, and face him in court.
