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

Chapter 129 Anniversary Event

At the anniversary event, Nathaniel watched as his mother passed him one glass of wine after another. His gaze occasionally drifted toward Stella.

He understood what was happening.

“I have work tonight. I can’t drink anymore.” Nathaniel gently declined the offer of more wine.

Upon noticing his slightly tipsy state, Elena shot a glance toward Stella.

Instantly, Stella moved to Nathaniel’s side, offering him support. “Nathaniel, you’ve been drinking. Let me take you home.”

No matter what, she was determined to have something happen between them that night.

Nathaniel was still conscious and about to pull out his arm when his gaze locked onto a woman in the distance. She was dressed in a stunning turquoise gown, her beauty beguiling and enchanting.

He didn’t push Stella away. Instead, he gazed deeply at Cecilia.

As soon as Cecilia appeared, she attracted quite a bit of attention.

Her beauty was so extraordinary that the majority of people present failed to recognize her as the former young lady of the Smith family with hearing impairment.

Elena also glanced at her and was completely taken aback.
