When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 4 I Never Loved You

It seems Dad had long realized that Nathaniel doesn’t love me. Despite everything, he always had my best interests at heart. He made a contract with the Rainsworth family, allowing me to fulfill my wish of marrying Nathaniel. But before we could even get married, he was in a car accident. If it weren’t for his passing, Magnus and Mom wouldn’t have been able to break the contract…

After handing over all the property transfer procedures to Norman, Cecilia happened to see Stella’s promotional posters lining the street on her way home.

The Stella on the poster radiated dazzling beauty, optimism, and charm.

She knew it was time to let go, set Nathaniel free, and liberate herself as well.

Upon returning to Daltonia Villa, Cecilia tidied up her luggage.

Having been married for over three years, all she had to her name could merely fit into a single suitcase.

She had asked Norman to prepare the divorce agreement last year.

In Nathaniel’s presence, she often felt overly self-conscious, excessively humble, and too emotional. She had realized long ago that their relationship was bound to end, so she had prepared herself early on to leave.

That night, there was no message from Nathaniel.

With a surge of courage, she sent him a message: Are you free tonight? There’s something I want to discuss with you.

There was a prolonged silence from the other end.

Cecilia’s eyes darkened. She realized that he didn’t even want to reply to her text messages now.

She could only wait for his return in the morning.

In the CEO’s office of Rainsworth Group, after a mere glance at the text message, Nathaniel casually set his phone aside.

Zachary was sitting on a nearby couch. He noticed his actions and asked, “Is that from Cecilia?”

Nathaniel remained noncommittal.

Zachary sneered thoughtlessly. “That little deaf girl actually believes she’s the lady of the Rainsworth family. She’s even trying to check in. Nathaniel, you’re not seriously planning to keep this up with her, are you? The Smith family is hopeless now. Cecilia’s younger brother, Magnus Smith, is a complete fool. He has no idea how to run a business. It won’t be long before the Smith family goes under. And her mother is a greedy woman!”

Nathaniel listened to all of this with a placid expression.

“I know.”

“Then why haven’t you divorced her yet? Stella has been waiting for you all this time,” Zachary said anxiously.
