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

Chapter 522 Blunt Refusal

“The child is still sleeping. You can’t see him now,” Nathaniel coldly rejected.

Zachary hadn’t expected him to refuse so directly. “Nathaniel, this is my second time here. At least let me see him once, right? If he’s sleeping, I promise not to disturb him.”

“No.”

Zachary was taken aback. Nathaniel was way too protective of his son, not even letting anyone see him.

Unwilling to leave without at least a glimpse, Zachary said, “Fine, I’ll just go use the bathroom.”

If Nathaniel wouldn’t let him see the kid, he’d sneak a look instead.

In the garden outside, Cecilia and Vivian were taking a walk together.

Vivian didn’t bring up the news as she was afraid of upsetting Cecilia, so they chatted about recent events instead.

Understanding her concern, Cecilia assured her that she wouldn’t compromise herself this time. That finally put Vivian at ease.

“If you ever feel unhappy, make sure to tell me. Don’t keep it bottled up inside,” Vivian urged.

Cecilia nodded. “I know.”
