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

Chapter 211 Being Framed

The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed like the only sounds were those of the wind and. rustling leaves.

Cecilia stared at Nathaniel’s familiar face, unsure of how to begin. In the end, all she could muster was, “I’m sorry, sorry, I…”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Nathaniel interrupted her abruptly.

“Not with you.”

Cecilia’s pupils constricted abruptly. Then, Nathaniel continued in a harsh tone, “Do you think a man will choose to have children with a woman who betrayed him and bore someone else’s child?”

Without waiting for her response, Nathaniel quickly strode toward the room.

Once he reached his room, he tossed his coat aside in frustration.

When he expressed his desire for a child just a moment ago, it was only upon hearing her imminent refusal that he realized how ridiculous he had been. It was then that he truly understood the absurdity of his actions that day.

He couldn’t believe he had agreed to play the role of that child’s father for a day…

Just how desperate was he for a child of his own that he was willing to become a father to someone else’s child?

Cecilia stood alone in the wind outside the mansion with Nathaniel’s words echoing in her mind.
