    What''s the matter?" Nichs asked as he answered the phone. # Finished


    "Mr. Nichs, something terrible has happened. Many shareholders are selling off their stocks, causing our share price to plummet. And now Robert is attempting to reconvene a shareholders meeting," Jocelyn said in a hushed tone. Nichs tightened his grip on the phone. "Stabilize the situation for now. I''ll be back soon."


    "Mr. Nichs, I can''t handle this alone. Even Mdin. Elena showed up, but Robert humiliated her in the meeting?" Jocelyn added.


    She couldn''t understand what could be so urgent overseas that Nichs would neglect such a critical situation at thepany.


    Nichs looked at the phone in his hand, then at Cecilia in front of him. He found it hard to make a decision.


    Understanding the nature of the call, Nathaniel mocked him. "You can''t even manage apany. How do you n to take care of Ceci?"


    After speaking, Nathaniel took out his phone and held it out to Cecilia.


    "Ceci, look. This is our marriage certificate."


    Cecilia stared at the photo of the marriage certificate on his phone, utterly shocked.


    In the photo, she was wearing a white shirt, smiling as she sat beside Nathaniel.


    The certificate clearly disyed their names: Cecilia Smith and Nathaniel Rainsworth!


    Nichs ended his call with Jocelyn without another word. "Ceci, documents like this can be forged as many times as you want. They''re not reliable."


    "Then why don''t you let Cecilia return to Tud with me?" Nathaniel retorted.


    Nichs was momentarily speechless. "She''s not well enough to go back yet."


    "What''s wrong with her?" Nathaniel asked, concern evident in his voice.


    "You don''t even know about her health, and you im to be her husband? Don''t you think that''s ridiculous?" Nichs countered.


    With that, Nichs took Cecilia''s hand right in front of Nathaniel. "Come on, Ceci. Let''s go back to the room,"


    Cecilia allowed him to lead her back, her mind a chaotic mess.


    She no longer knew whether to trust Nichs or Nathaniel.


    Once they were back inside, Cecilia walked to the window and looked out. Nathaniel''s cars were still parked outside.

    Ceci didn''t want to see such a situation unfold. "Nichs, don''t do this. How about we stay here for now? On... we could go back to Tud with him? It''s been a long time since I''ve been home. I want to go back and see how things are. Hearing her words, Nichs set his phone aside. For some reason, he asked her impulsively, "Ceci, do you love me?"


    Cecilia was taken aback by the tenderness in his gaze. She hesitated, unable to answer directly. "I... I..."


    A dull ache spread through Nichs''s heart.


    Recalling everything they had been through, Gecilia finally said, "Nichs, I like you."


    Like, not love.


    "I''ve admired you since I was a child, and I still do."


    "Like? Admire?" Nichs''s eyes reddened, and he couldn''t hold back a violent cough.novelbin

    Cecilia''s eyes filled with worry: "You''re coughing too much. I''ll get your medicine."


    With a sudden force, Nichs pulled her, and the two of them fell onto the couch together.

    His hand brushed against her face. "Ceci... Ceci..."


    He called her name repeatedly, then leaned in to kiss her.
