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

Chapter 426 Return What Is Rightfully Mine

Cassandra stood up, intending to follow, but was stopped by Nicholas, who said, “Cassandra, wait here for me to return.”

His voice was gentle and, with Elena present, Cassandra wasn’t in the position to refuse.

However, she felt a deep sense of injustice in her heart. She was on the verge of becoming his fiancée, after all. If anyone was to be escorted back to their room, it should have been her first.

After Nicholas left, she clenched her fingers tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

Outside, the night was pitch black, with the wind and snow indeed falling heavily.

Cecilia initially thought that Nicholas would only see them to the door, so she didn’t refuse his offer. Clinging onto the edge of Nathaniel’s clothing, she moved forward. For some reason, her vision started to blur increasingly, to the point where she could barely make out the path ahead.

His hand was incredibly warm, snapping Cecilia out of her daze. She attempted to pull her hand. away, but Nathaniel held on even tighter. Then, he addressed Nicholas, who was behind them.

Nicholas paused in his stride, instantly understanding the unspoken message in his brother’s words.

Nathaniel had discovered that Nicholas had tried to drug them.
