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

Chapter 171 Dining With Someone Else

At Ascent House, Calvin had the chef prepare Cecilia’s favorite dish.

“You’ve lost weight recently. Eat a bit more.”

“Okay.”

Cecilia held her fork, gazing at the table filled with exquisite dishes, yet she had no appetite.

Calvin served her some food. “Nothing much, just some work–related matters.”

“Did Nathaniel give you a hard time?”

Calvin’s hand, which was holding a fork, suddenly jerked. He looked at her with a playful glint in his eyes. “I’m not a young girl. What can he possibly do to me?”

He was being mischievous again.

Cecilia observed that while Calvin received respectful treatment from others outside, his demeanor changed when he was around her.

He became playful, occasionally resembling a child.

“I’m being serious with you. If he gives you a hard time, you need to tell me.”
