<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was initially taken aback, but then she nodded. “I know. Congrattions to you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Congrattions! Nichs felt a dryness in his throat. He just stood there, at a loss for words.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Inside the house, Elliot noticed that Cecilia hadn’t returned yet, so he stepped out. That was when he saw Cecilia standing with Nichs, someone he was scared of.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In a rush, Elliot called out. “Mommy.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lespite Nichs having saved him before, Elliot was still somewhat afraid of this man, fearing he might harm Cecilia</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing Elliot’s shout, Cecilia was instantly relieved and promptly handed over the umbre she was holdin</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m heading back in,” she said.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs held the still–warm umbre, watching as Cecilia gradually disappeared from his sight..</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">What he didn’t know was that not far from him. Jocelyn was also holding an umbre.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon seeing Cecilia offering Nichs an umbre, she simply put her umbre away.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In order to spare Nichs any embarrassment, Jocelyn pretended as if she hadn’t seen anything and left.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At times, love can be truly peculiar. Why can’t the cupid make two people fall for each other? Jocelyn hadn’t really been in many rtionships. All she ever wanted was to find someone who was mutuallymitted to her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, she felt it was incredibly hard.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia always resided in the depth of Nichol</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">heart. Even when he was abroad for medical treatment years ago, the name he called out in his delirium was Cecilia’s. That never changed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Regrettably, the one she had always adored, through a twist of fate, was marrying someone else, and he had also fallen in love with someone else.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Life has a way of ying tricks on us… Jocelyn threw her umbre into the trash bin and walked home in the rain.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs and Cassandra’s wedding ceremony was scheduled for the day after the next day.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In her impatience, Cassandra sought out Nichs, intending to share a room with him, only to find Jocelyn was already there.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ms. Wright, haven’t I made myself clear? You are Nichs‘ work assistant, nothing more. In your personal time, you should return to your own ce.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Drenched from the rain, Jocelyn merely changed her clothes before she respectfully said, “The wedding preparations have been rather hectic these past few days. Mr. Nichs asked me toe over and lend a hand.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing her words, Cassandra finally decided to let it go. “Where’s Nichs?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Obviously, Jocelyn wouldn’t tell her. She just shook her head.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re absolutely useless. You don’t seem to know anything. Are you even a chief personal assistant?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jocelyn still wasn’t angry. She just felt dizzy, possibly due to a fever after being caught in the rain.</font></font>Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra didn’t manage to find Nichs and left, feeling uninterested.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After she left, Jocelyn carried on with her work.</font></font>
Perhaps it was because she had always been taking care of Nichs, so she hadn’t paid much attention to her own health. As a result, after a short period of work, she fainted at her desk.
Yet, in the end, Nichs never showed up.
When she woke up, it was already dark outside, and Nichs had not yet returned.
Jocelyn gazed into the surrounding darkness, a sudden wave of sadness washing over her. If I were to die here today, would Mr. Nichs even notice
After that thought crossed her mind, she couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. “What am I even thinking?”
Enduring a throbbing headache, Jocelyn managed to get up and switch on the room light. After tidying up the ce, she
ventured out alone.
When Nichs returned, he happened to run into her.
“Are you going back?” he asked.
Jocelyn gave a slight nod. “Yes. I’m feeling a bit dizzy. I’m nning to go to the hospital to get some cold medicine.”
Nichs casually expressed his concern by saying, “Take good care of yourself.”
A glint shed in Jocelyn’s eyes. “All right.”
After a brief exchange between the two, Jocelyn, before departing, made sure to inform him that Cassandra had been looking for him
