Chapter 164 He Does Not Like Women

Under the moonlight, Cecilia looked up at the face she had adored for half her life. “Mr. Rainsworth, didn’t we have an agreement?”

The hand that Nathaniel had placed on her face froze as he met meeting her clear, shining eyes.

It seemed as though she could burst into tears any second now.

Nathaniel couldn’t fathom why, but a bitterness welled up within him. He withdrew his hand, rose from the bed, and left the ward without a word.

Once outside, he still couldn’t forget the unfamiliar look in Cecilia’s eyes when she looked at him.

He sat in the car, smoking a cigarette, and dialed Mason’s number. “What day is it today?”

It was two in the morning when Mason was roused from his sleep, only to be met with a question that came out of the blue.

He paused to think, unable to recall any tasks for the day, leaving him with no choice but to get up and check.

There weren’t any collaborative projects today, nor was it any kind of holiday.

By chance, he spotted a trending birthday topic on his computer and realized it was Cecilia’s birthday.

Mason gave Nathaniel a call.

“Mr. Rainsworth, today is Ms. Smith’s birthday.”

When Cecilia married Nathaniel, he had done some homework.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known about Cecilia’s birthday.

Nathaniel genuinely hadn’t anticipated it, nor could he recall Cecilia’s birthday.

He finally realized why Cecilia had given him such an attitude and why Calvin had chosen to return last night..

Noticing that Nathaniel had yet to respond, Mason asked, “Mr. Rainsworth, should I prepare a gift?”
