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

Chapter 169 Two Peas In A Pod

Calvin immediately noticed Cecilia standing behind Nathaniel. He gave her a reassuring look. then turned his attention back to Nathaniel, extending his hand.

“Mr. Rainsworth, what a pleasure to meet you.”

The anticipated tension was nowhere to be found. Instead, an unexpected sense of gentlemanliness prevailed between them.

Nathaniel shook hands with him.

He then turned to Cecilia and said, “This is my wife, Cecilia.”

As he pledged his devotion, he drew Cecilia into his arms, encircling her waist.

Cecilia wanted to pull away from his grasp.

Despite her efforts, he tightened his grip even more, refusing to release her hand, even when she scratched him hard enough to draw blood.

His expression remained as calm as ever.

Calvin observed everything unfold and didn’t show any signs of surprise. “There’s no need for introductions. Ceci and I are childhood friends, I understand her even better than you do, Mr. Rainsworth.”

Ceci… How endearing.

He understands her even better than I do?

Nathaniel turned to look back at Cecilia with brooding eyes.

“Darling, how come you never mentioned this childhood friend of yours?”

He gripped her tightly. She felt as if he was about to squeeze the life out of her waist.
