Chapter 479 Always By Your Side

Nicholas reached out, ready to brush off the accumulated snow on Cecilia’s body.

The polite greeting left Nicholas‘ hand frozen in mid–air, only retracting after a considerable delay.

“I saw the news report, and that’s how I found out something happened to Martha. You once mentioned that she’s as important to you as your own mother. I knew you’d be devastated by her passing, so I came to check on you.”

Cecilia merely gave a slight nod, unsure of how to respond to him.

After a prolonged silence, she said, “I’m heading home.”

“I’ll take you there,” replied Nicholas immediately.
