Chapter 323 No One Will Think You Are Mute


    Cecilia tightened her grip on Nathaniel’s hand even more while lowering her voice. “Even if you. don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”


    Nathaniel seemed impervious to pain as he addressed Calvin. “Apologies, Mr. Reese. My wife and I have ns to have a couple’s time with my wife tonight, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to invite you over for dinner.”


    A couple’s time… Calvin’s handsome face appeared somewhat rigid.


    He knew that Nathaniel was only trying to provoke him, yet he couldn’t help but lose hisposure.


    At first, Mason, who was standing off to the side, was worried that his boss was being bullied. Upon seeing the situation, he finally sighed in relief.


    People standing around them would asionally nce in their direction. At first, everyone assumed that Cecilia and Calvin were a couple. It was onlyter that they realized that Nathaniel was, in fact, Cecilia’s husband.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Under curious gazes, Cecilia purchased ravioli.


    Cecilia had promised to treat Calvin, so she bought some ravioli for him, too.


    “I’ll be heading back first,” said Cecilia.


    “All right, see you next time.” Calvin watched as Cecilia walked away.


    A little whileter, Mason was seated in his car while Cecilia and Nathaniel were together in Cecilia’s car.


    The ravioli she bought were steaming hot, yet the temperature inside the car was quite low.


    Cecilia didn’t start the car right away. Instead, she gently pulled away the hand that had been tightly clutching her own.


    “What do you mean earlier?” she asked coldly.


    Nathaniel’s hand was pulled away, yet he remained silent.


    Seeing the situation, Cecilia grew even angrier. “Why did you suddenlye looking for me? Who said anything about spending a couple’s time together with you?”


    Nathaniel remained silent, his handsome face a picture of restraint.


    “Say something! Weren’t you quite talkative just now?” Cecilia continued.


    The next moment, Nathaniel pulled her into his arms with a strong tug.


    Nathaniel held her tightly, pressing her head firmly against his heart. “Ceci, I’m angry, and I don’t want to talk.”


    Taken aback, Cecilia struggled to lift her head, looking toward him.


    Despite the fact that he had inexplicably sought her out and said those bizarre things right in front of Calvin, he had the audacity to im that he was angry.


    Thus, Cecilia questioned, “What are you upset about?”


    Nathaniel’s voice choked up. “You’re asking the obvious.”


    Ever since he woke up in the hospital, he hadn’t held Cecilia that close.


    Cecilia was unaware of just how intimate the two of them were in his memories.


    Every night, Nathaniel found himself alone in his cramped room, her enchanting figure dominating his thoughts.


    Inside the narrow car, he breathed in her familiar scent. Nathaniel was filled with such intense longing that he wished he could merge her into his very bones.


    He forcefully pulled Cecilia into his embrace, and she became acutely aware of the drastic changes in his body.


    Blushing, she eximed, “Shameless!”


    In a rush, she wriggled out from Nathaniel’s embrace.


    Nathaniel had also be aware of his own changes. He didn’t try to exin himself. Instead, hisrge hand once again grasped Cecilia’s. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I’m a man. It’s quite normal for this to happen.”


    Growing tired of their conversation, Cecilia started up the car.


    Throughout the journey, Cecilia never spoke to him again.


    When Martha saw the couple return together with sullen expressions, she knew that her actions. that day weren’t wrong.


    Martha specifically addressed Nathaniel, “Mr. Rainsworth, advised you not to seek Ceci, yet you insisted. Now, you even need her to take care of you and bring you back. Was it really necessary?”


    “Martha, don’t mind him. Let’s go have some ravioli.” Cecilia supported Martha toward the dining room.


    “All right.”


    The sound of their footsteps faded into the distance.


    Nathaniel felt that Martha appeared gentle on the surface but seemed to harbor significant animosity toward him.


    He pinched the bridge of his nose, then returned to the couch.


    As he sat there, he recalled what Mason had told him in the car earlier, which was that Cecilia betrayed him once after marrying him and had twin sons with Calvin.
