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

Chapter 118 His Gifts

Cecilia had a meal at Vivian’s house, and we spent a long time chatting. As the hour grew late, she decided to take a ride back to Daltonia Villa.

She was worried that Jonathan might overthink things, so she asked Vivian not to mention anything about Elliot or the fact that she was currently living at Daltonia Villa.

In truth, Jonathan had noticed early on that something was off with his mother today. However, being considerate, he chose not to pry. Instead, he planned to subtly coax information out of Vivian in private.

At Daltonia Villa, Nathaniel returned from the company at five in the afternoon. He was seated on the living room couch, an exquisite gift box placed on the coffee table in front of him.

Another half hour passed, and Nathaniel’s irritation only intensified. He rose, reaching for the items on the table, prepared to personally bring Cecilia back.
