<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was still immersed in the moments he had saved her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Amused by his question, she gave his arm a yful pinch and said, “Do you have nothing better to ask?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before she could add on, the ring of her cellphone interrupted their intimate conversation abruptly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Who’s that?” Nathaniel couldn’t help but ask.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia picked up her phone and saw that it was Calvin. She responded truthfully, “It’s Calvin.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel sounded like a jealous young man when he said, “Turn on the speaker. I want to hear why he’s calling you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The day before, even though Cecilia was merely acting, seeing her in such harmony with Calvin made him feel jealous.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Helpless, Cecilia turned on the loudspeaker.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Hello, Calvin.” Cecilia answered the call.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I called Sven yesterday and found out everything. Are you okay now?” Calvin asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes, I’m fine now,” Cecilia responded.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Calvin continued, “That’s good. However, I stand by what I said yesterday. If you’re willing, I’ll send someone to bring you here. As long as you’re with me, I assure you that you won’t get hurt.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel’s face darkened considerably.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before Cecilia could even reply, Nathaniel blurted, “Mr. Reese, there’s no need for you to go out of your way for my wife.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Calvin never imagined that his conversation with Cecilia would be overheard by Nathaniel.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Without any hint of politeness, he said, “Mr. Rainsworth, if you could ensure her safety, I wouldn’t have to worry. Let me warn you, Ceci is like my sister. If you can’t protect her, you better return her to me. Unlike you, I will never let my woman or child get hurt.”</font></font>Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel tightly clenched his fist. This time he truly had nothing to say.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was quick to reassure Calvin, saying, “Calvin, I’m not hurt. Don’t worry about me, I’m really okay. When I have time, I’lle back to visit you at Erihal.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that, she hung up the phone.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Calvin stared at the disconnected call, seething with anger. He threw a punch at the wall in frustrat</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was truly filled with regret now. Why hadn’t he gone to Tud earlier to stop Cecilia from marrying Nathaniel?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Inside the ward, Nathaniel’s mind was filled with Calvin’s words. Indeed, he had put Cecilia in danger this time.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ethan was out to get Nathaniel. If it hadn’t been for him, Cecilia would not have been injured.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">On top of that, he still needed Cecilia’s assistance to buy themselves some time because he was blind!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Aside from when he first took over Rainsworth Group, he had never felt this defeated before.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Unaware of Nathaniel’s thoughts, Cecilia stood up to get breakfast when she noticed someone bringing food over. She then served Nathaniel a bowl of oatmeal.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Come, eat this.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel took the bowl and spoon handed to him, only cating a little. He didn’t have much of an appetite.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">On the other hand, Cecilia certainly had her fill.</font></font>
After having breakfast, Nathaniel’s phone began to ring.
He picked up the phone. It was Elena who was calling. “Nathaniel, aren’t youing over today?”
At that moment, Cecilia remembered that it was Labor Day. Usually on holidays, they would return to the Rainsworth Manor.
Since she forgot all about it, she even asked Sven to take Elliot to school.
“I’m noting back this time,” Nathaniel responded.
The current incident hadn’t yet be the talk of the town. Everyone was still unaware that Cecilia and Jessica had been kidnapped, and that Nathaniel had been injured.
Nathaniel had also cautioned Mason to warn Jessica not to speak recklessly in public.
“Did Cecilia tell you not toe back? This girl is bing more and more unreasonable.”
“I made the decision myself.”
With that, Nathaniel hung up the phone.
At the dining table, Elena couldn’t help but feel annoyed. “It must be something Cecilia said again. Ever since Nathaniel’s car ident, he’s like a changed person, always listening to Cecilia.”
Nichs listened quietly, offering no response.
Cassandra chimed in, “The way Cecilia behaves is truly inappropriate. Now, we have to invite her for her toe back. If something happens to Mom and Dad in the future, is she not going toe back too?”
