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

Chapter 49 A Close Call

Nathaniel typed: Understood.

Upon seeing him finally set aside his work, Stella couldn’t help but ask, “Is Mdm. Elena urging us?”

Nathaniel slightly parted his thin lips, a hint of impatience in his voice. “No.”

Stella had wanted to ask what was going on but before she could she noticed that Nathaniel’s gaze had shifted to the window.

Cars were passing by the entrance of the Golden Moon Hotel, outside the dazzling building, two figures got out from a Bentley.

Nathaniel’s gaze unconsciously settled on the small boy. The boy was wearing a cap and a mask, obscuring his features, yet there was an indescribable sense of familiarity.

He watched the two of them enter the hotel.

Nathaniel instructed the driver, “Stop the car.”

Stella was somewhat puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

Nathaniel didn’t respond. Instead, he opened the car door and got out without a backward glance.

Meanwhile, at the Golden Moon Hotel, as soon as Vivian and Jonathan got out of the car, she felt the urge to use the restroom. Thus, she quickly called Cecelia to come down and meet them.

Once Cecelia left her room, she saw Nathaniel, impeccably dressed in a suit, walking toward her.

Sweat broke out on Cecelia’s palms. Instinctively, she wanted to avert her gaze, turn around, and leave.
