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

Chapter 183 Did I Do Something Wrong

After chatting with Vivian, Cecilia put away her phone. She stopped looking at the flowers outside. but headed to the music room to play the piano.

Cecilia’s mind remained unsettled after a while, prompting her to leave the music room and step outside.

Immediately, she spotted Liam, whom she hadn’t seen in several years. Clad in a tailcoat, his once–dark hair now a striking shade of white, Liam radiated an unmistakable vitality

He was leading a group of workers, instructing them on their tasks, when he caught sight of Cecilia.

He indifferently withdrew his gaze, instructed the workers, and then walked toward Cecilia.

“Ms. Smith, are we disturbing you?”

He was polite on the surface, but the words he uttered next were more piercing to the heart than any vulgarity.

“You have a hearing problem. I thought you couldn’t hear. However, I must remind you that it’s now ten in the morning. Other ladies of high society wouldn’t be idling at home at this hour. If you really have nothing better to do, I suggest you leave first. Don’t disturb the workers. Am I right?”

Back then, Cecilia had thought he was genuinely guiding her on how to be a good wife to Nathaniel.

She dutifully followed his every instruction.

One day, she overheard him discussing her with his daughter, Lily. He described her as a naive. country girl who believed everything she was told.
