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

Chapter 113 Chose To Delude Himself

“I’m sorry.”

Mason had always stayed well within the lines of propriety. He only cautioned Nathaniel this time because he didn’t want the man to harbor any regrets in the future.

Over the past four to five years since Cecilia’s disappearance, he knew of the changes in Nathaniel better than anyone else.

Nathaniel didn’t blame him either and returned to the house after watching him leave.

At that moment, Cecilia had just received a call from Vivian, who informed her that she had been released in the middle of the night yesterday.

“Ceci, did you go to seek Nathaniel out?” Vivian felt that something was off. She had tried calling Ceci last night, but no one answered.

“Yeah, I spoke of this matter with him yesterday,” Cecilia admitted without holding anything back.

“Did he give you a hard time, then?” Vivian’s voice carried a hint of anxiety.

“No.”

Upon seeing that Nathaniel had returned, Cecilia said, “I’ll chat with you again in a bit.”

She then ended the call.

Nathaniel walked in. “Who called?”

“My friend, Vivian.”
