Chapter 332 Apologize To Cecilia
After a snowy night, the grounds of Daltonia Vi were bustling with housekeepers diligently clearing the umted snow. Nathaniel sat in his car, yet to go inside, when Mason noticed someone entering the vi–it was Nichs.
Mason quickly informed Nathaniel and asked, “Should we go there now?”
With so many housekeepers at Daltonia Vi, Nathaniel’s arrival would surely expose Nichs‘ false identity,
Just a few days ago, due to some issues with his identity, Nichs had been staying at the Rainsworth Manor. Now, here he was, moving into Daltonia Vi so soon.
First, he assumed a false identity to take over thepany, then he seized the vi. What’s next? Will he take away Nathaniel’s family and wife too?
“No rush,” Nathaniel replied, his calm voice bringing Mason back to reality. Mason had no choice. but to park the car at a distance.
Although Mason had always been by Nathaniel’s side, he had only heard rumors of a younger brother,
That was the first time he saw the man in person, and he was struck by how much Nichs. resembled Nathaniel. If they had been dressed alike, Mason probably wouldn’t have been able to tell who was who.
After all, Nichs and Nathaniel were biological brothers, and Nichs‘ management of thepany was certainly morepetent than their ineffectual cousin, Adrian.
As they waited, a minivan drove past, unnoticed by Mason. The person inside was none other. than Ste.
Inside Daltonia Vi, Nichs was inspecting the rooms. When he reached the bedroom, he noticed a photo frame overturned on the bedside table. His long, graceful fingers picked up the frame and turned it over, revealing a tension that briefly flickered in his eyes.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
The photograph showed Cecilia and Nathaniel together. Cecilia was dressed in a pristine white gown, standing beside Nathaniel, who was d in a sharp suit. She was tentatively holding his hand.
This photo had been captured by a reporter at their engagement party, just before they had officially announced their engagement.
Cecilia and Nathaniel had never taken wedding photos, so Cecilia had always cherished this picture, treating it as their unofficial wedding photo.
When they had decided to divorce, this particr photograph was left behind.
Nichs stared at the photo in silence until his personal secretary, Jocelyn Wright, called from the entrance, “Mr. Nichs, there’s someone looking for you downstairs.”
Jocelyn had consistently cared for Nichs after he went abroad for treatment. She was one of the few, besides Elena, who knew his true identity.
“Who?” Nichs asked, his tone indifferent.
Jocelyn, d in her standard uniform, unlocked her tablet. “It’s Ste,” she replied. “Mdm. Elena, mentioned her before. She used to be Mr. Nathaniel’s girlfriend, but they had a falling out. Mr. Nathaniel even had hermitted to a psychiatric hospital. Mdm. Elena said you don’t have to be polite to her.”
Nichs, who had seen many people and thingse and go in his life, nodded at Jocelyn’s exnation. She served as Nichs‘ personal reminder, diligently noting both the tasks assigned by Elena and those that were not.
“Understood,” Nichs said curtly. Without a second thought, he tossed the photo he had been holding into a nearby trash bin and proceeded to exit the room.
Downstairs, Ste was waiting, feeling increasingly puzzled. The person who had always been by Nathaniel’s side was Mason, but now there was a woman.
Before long, she saw Nichs and Jocelyn appear.
“Nathaniel,” Ste greeted him, standing up from the couch. The fear she had felt when Nathaniel was admitted to the psychiatric hospital hadn’t entirely subsided, and she was instinctively cautious.
Nichs cast a casual nce at her before settling on the couch. Ste remembered him being blind thest time they met, but now she realized he had only been pretending.
“Nathaniel, I’m sorry,” Ste began, her voice trembling slightly. “Ever since Mdm. Elena let me go, I’ve regretted it every single day. I shouldn’t have lied to you. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?”
Nichs listened patiently, quickly understanding why she hade. “Go apologize to Cecilia,” he said, his tone firm.
Ste was taken aback. “What?”
Nichs’s eyebrows lifted slightly. “What’s the matter? Not willing?”
Ste quickly shook her head. “Of course, I’ll apologize to Ceci right away,” she stammered, picking up her phone to dial Cecilia’s number.
“I want you to personally go to her door, bow down to her, and apologize,” Nichs stated, emphasizing each word.
