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

Chapter 227 Have A Look Yourself

“It’s been quite some time; you’ve changed so much,” Miranda said with a smile, extending her hand toward Cecilia.

Cecilia, however, didn’t reciprocate the gesture. Instead, she offered a polite smile and replied, “You haven’t really changed much.”

Miranda’s expression momentarily stiffened, her hand lingering in the air before she pulled it back with a slight awkwardness. “Do you mind stepping out for a chat?” she suggested, regaining her composure quickly.

Miranda had married into the Rainsworth family before Cecilia. Back when Cecilia had just gotten engaged to Nathaniel, Mirand would often visit, engaging her in seemingly caring conversations, playing the role of an affectionate older sister.

It wasn’t until after Cecilia married Nathaniel that Miranda’s true nature began to reveal itself, especially after Cecilia’s father passed away and her family’s influence began to wane.

It had to be admitted–some people were naturally gifted when it came to acting.

As they walked along the winding path, Miranda’s voice was soft, almost as if she was sharing a secret. “Did you know? Five years ago, when I heard of your supposed death, I couldn’t sleep a wink that night. I had just become pregnant with Felix, and the stress almost caused a miscarriage.”
