<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that time, Cecilia was eager to find out if Nathaniel was okay.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Meanwhile, Nathaniel had already moved into Seabay Vi, and he couldn’t sleep. His mind was filled with the events of that day’s divorce.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The familiar ring of the phone sounded, causing him to hesitate.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He had set a special ringtone for Cecilia’s calls so that he could recognize it immediately whenever Cecilia. called.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel hesitated, unsure whether to answer or not.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was extremely anxious, terrified that something bad had truly happened to him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Finally, when thest ring sounded, the other end of the line picked up.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What’s the matter?”</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel’s familiar, icy voice echoed from the other side.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia’s heart, once taut with worry, eased slightly. She feigned strength and said, “Nothing’s wrong. I was just calling to see if you were able to sleep.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A tightening sensation gripped Nathaniel’s throat.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Had you not called, I would have been sleeping soundly.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This remark was infuriating enough to drive someone to their wits end. Clutching her phone tightly. Cecilia remained silent.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After a prolonged silence, she abruptly ended the call. She then hid herself under the covers and closed her eyes, trying to force herself to sleep.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel was then living well and still as infuriating as ever, allowing Cecilia to finally sleep peacefully.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Over at Seabay Vi, Nathaniel hadn’t heard anything from Cecilia for a while, realizing then that she had hung up the phone.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He held his phone for a long time before finally setting it aside.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The following day, when Zachary was examining Nathaniel, he noticed a hint of blue under Nathaniel’s</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Didn’t you sleep well?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel did not deny it. “No.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Don’t worry. The surgery will surely be sessful,” Zachary said, unsure of how tofort others.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel had a restless night, but it wasn’t because of concerns about the surgery.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before Zachary began the surgery, he conducted various tests on Nathaniel. All the indicators were normal, making Nathaniel a suitable candidate for the operation the hospital today.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Just wait a little longer.” Nathaniel was not yet ready to go to the hospital. He still had some matters left to settle.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hearing that, Zachary could only say, “All right, then.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Over at Orion Corporation, most of the Rainsworth family members found out about the divorce between Cecilia and Nathaniel that day.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda, of course, was aware of the situation. She made her way to Cecilia’s office and confronted her, saying. “You and Nathaniel are already divorced. How dare you stay here?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing her words, Cecilia looked up at her unhesitatingly retorting, “My mother–inw insisted that I stay in Orion Corporation. If you have any objections, feel free to take it up with her.”</font></font>
Elena’s reputation still held sway, leaving Miranda momentarily at a loss for words.
Thus, she returned in a fit of anger.
Jessica tugged at the hem of her dress and said, “Miranda, Aunt Elena is only keeping her around because of her pregnancy and those twins. Aunt Elena isn’t on her side. Once she has given birth, Aunt Eleria will kick Cecilia out of the Rainsworth family.”
Miranda understood this principle, yet she couldn’t help but worry, Cecilia hasn’t just bewitched Nathaniel but also Nichs. Now that the two are divorced, there’s a chance that Nichs might step in. The notion of a younger brother courting his former sister–inw isn’t unheard of. It has happened throughout history and across cultures.
When Miranda thought about that, a person came to her mind, and she shared the news with Cassandra.
*Cassandra, don’t take it the wrong way that I didn’t warn you after the favor you did for mest time. Cecilia is no good, you know. Look at her. Even with her ruined face, she’s managed to keep Nathaniel hopelessly devoted to her for all these years.”
As ofte, Cassandra had been assisting her father, Ralph, with the division of his marital assets. Her mind was sent reeling when she heard the sudden news of Cecilia’s divorce.
As a woman, she understood better than anyone just how extraordinary her fiancé’s feelings were toward Cecilia.
