Chapter 721 Worried About Nathaniel


    The two spent the afternoon discussing work matters. Come evening, Charlotte insisted that Cecilia and Calvin stay for dinner.


    After they had finished eating, they gossiped privately when they went to the restroom.


    “Boss, have you made up your mind?” Charlotte asked.


    Cecilia didn’t find it odd, asking, “About what?”


    “Are you with Mr. Reese?” Charlotte’srge eyes gazed at her. “Didn’t youe back this time for him?”


    Cecilia choked up. Should I say yes or no? Both options don’t seem right.


    “Calvin and I are just friends. Don’t overthink it.”


    Charlotte couldn’t help but feel disappointed. “I was hoping that you and Mr. Reese would be together, so I could feast my eyes every day.”


    Cecilia gently tapped her.


    Unable to suppress her curiosity, Charlotte continued to ask, “If it’s not Mr. Reese, could it possibly be Mr. Rainsworth?”


    She had encountered Nathaniel before, a truly remarkable individual who was undeniably attractive.


    Cecilia was truly done with Charlotte.


    “Let’s go. It’s gettingte. We should rest early.”


    After agreeing to leave together, just as they were about to head to the private room, Cecilia suddenly froze in his tracks.


    Not far from the private room’s entrance, two upright figures were standing. One was Calvin, and the other was Mason.


    Mason wore a pair of gold–rimmed sses, his figure tall and lean. Although he couldn’t quitepete with the handsome allure of Calvin, he was still a good–looking man.


    Charlotte was stunned. “Boss, why are there so many handsome men around you?”


    What a lovestruck fool! Cecilia was quite exasperated. “That’s enough. Be good. Go back and rest first.”


    “Oh.”


    Charlotte left the restaurant reluctantly.


    At that moment, at the entrance of the private room, Mason and Calvin appeared polite and gentlemanly on the surface. However, their icy aura was so intense that it made everyone around them keep their distance.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Cecilia walked over and said, “Mr. Sanders.”


    Upon hearing this, Mason turned to look at her. “Mrs. Rainsworth, I’vee to ask you to return home.”


    “Sorry, but I’ve already spoken to Nathaniel. I’ll be returning the day after tomorrow. You guys should head back first,” Cecilia said.


    She had already given her word to Calvin. It wouldn’t be right to go back on it.


    Mason saw the determination in her eyes and didn’t persist too much. However, as he was about to leave, he lowered his voice and said to Cecilia, “Mrs. Rainsworth, please don’t take offense at my words. While you have the right to choose your friends, you should also be mindful of your own status. Mr. Rainsworth’s situation isn’t looking too good right now.”


    After Mason finished speaking, he quickly walked away.


    Is Nathaniel’s situation not good? A pang of anxiety gripped Cecilia’s heart. She was just about to chase after Mason to get some answers when Calvin stopped her.


    “Let’s go. We should head back and rest. I’m a bit tired too,” Calvin said.


    Cecilia could only momentarily set aside the doubts in her heart. She semi–supported him as they left the restaurant and got into the car to return to the manor.


    On the way back, Cecilia seemed somewhat absent–minded. While Calvin was taking a moment to rest with his eyes closed, she seized the opportunity to send a message to Nathaniel that read: What’s wrong with you?


    There was no response from the other side for quite a while.


    She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her phone, contemting making a call. The man beside her, Calvin, opened his eyes again. “If you’re worried, go and see him. I’m fine. Remember to visit me again next time.”


    Upon hearing Calvin’s words, Cecilia felt an increasing sense of guilt and put down her phone.


    “I’m not worried about him.”


    Cecilia reassured herself deep down that she was merely trying to prevent her two children from losing their father prematurely.


    In the manor, the night had fallen, and over two hours had passed, yet there was still no response from Nathaniel.


    Cecilia, lying in bed, couldn’t resist anymore and gave him a call voice. “Who is it?”


    Cecilia felt perplexed. I know he’s upset, but does he really not even know who I am anymore?


    She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay? I heard you weren’t doing so well.”


    After a long silence on the other end of the phone, something happened that left Cecilia in disbelief. Shockingly, Nathaniel had hung up the call.
