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

Chapter 279 Lawsuit Approved

Nathaniel didn’t respond. For him, anything he wanted was always within reach. Cecilia didn’t press further and settled down on the couch, taking in the familiar surroundings with a distant gaze.

“If you like it here, we can make this our home,” Nathaniel suggested seriously.

Cecilia felt he had misunderstood her. For someone who had been unloved by her mother since childhood, she actually didn’t have any fondness for this place. Even though her father had been kind to her, he spent most of his time working, and when he was away, she had felt like an outsider in her own home.

Nathaniel fell silent. Cecilia continued, “You should give the house back to Stella. It’s better for us to keep things clear between us.

Just a few days ago, Vivian had submitted the divorce papers to the court. It wouldn’t be long before Nathaniel found out. Cecilia got up. “If there’s nothing else, I need to go to Vivian’s place today.”

Before Nathaniel could respond, she had already slipped on her coat and stepped out the door into the cold. Nathaniel didn’t stop her but had someone follow her, instructing them not to let her run away.

Cecilia had no intentions of running. She was simply waiting for the court date to finalize the divorce. She took a taxi to Vivian’s rented apartment, where Vivian was busy preparing legal documents. Cecilia had arranged for her medical records from her overseas hospital stay to be sent as well.
