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

Chapter 197 I Regret It

Boom! A brilliant firework burst in the sky, fading as quickly as it appeared.

Nearby, a girl squeezed her boyfriend’s hand and whispered, “Let’s be together forever.”

As Cecilia watched them walk away, a deep longing stirred within her–a desire to experience a romance of her own. Since falling for Nathaniel, she had turned away every suitor, never allowing herself to be in a real relationship. She had married him without ever knowing the true taste of love. Even now, that feeling remained elusive.

Tears blurred Cecilia’s vision as she gazed up at the pitch–black sky. In the silence, she whispered, “Dad, I regret it.”

She regretted marrying Nathaniel, regretted choosing someone who never loved her.
