Chapter 6 Traditional Medicine

Apart from work-related messages, Cecilia hadn’t called or sent a message to apologize all day.

“I want to see how long you can hold out!”

Nathaniel tossed his phone aside, stood up, and headed toward the kitchen.

The moment he opened the refrigerator, he was taken aback.

Inside, aside from some food, there were all kinds of traditional medicines piled up.

He casually picked up a packet and saw the label: Five packets a day, specifically for treating infertility.

Infertility…

Nathaniel could smell the unpleasant aroma of the herbs.

Recalling the medicinal smell that had lingered on Cecilia before, he realized its origin.

He scoffed internally. The two of them had never been intimate, so no matter how much medicine she took, it was impossible for her to get pregnant.

He tossed the medicine back inside.

It seemed Nathaniel had figured out the reason for Cecilia’s recent tantrum, and suddenly he felt lighter.

He returned to the master bedroom to rest.

Without Cecilia around, he could come and go as he pleased from now on, with no need to deliberately avoid her.

Nathaniel slept soundly.

Today, he had plans to meet his friend Zachary for a round of golf.

Hence, early in the morning, he went to the wardrobe to change into his sportswear.

After changing, he walked into the living room. Out of habit, he tried to inform Cecilia that he wouldn’t be back today.

“Today…”

He’d barely spoken before he remembered—there was no need to inform her anymore.

At the golf course, Nathaniel was in high spirits. His white sportswear complemented his cold, handsome face, giving him a softer look.
