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

Chapter 609 Cover The Balance

The entire restaurant had been booked out. A group of mothers sat around a long table, already talking about the arrangements for their children’s upcoming overseas trip.

When they saw Cecilia walk in, they stopped talking and all eyes turned to her.

Cecilia wore exceptionally simple attire, her face lightly adorned with delicate, subtle makeup. Despite the scar running down the right side of her face, her natural elegance shone through. Some of the mothers, who had all experienced the tolls of motherhood, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy at Cecilia’s well–maintained figure and flawless skin. They invested in skincare, yet their efforts didn’t match the quality of hers. At least, they thought, she had that scar.

Cecilia glanced at the time and, upon noting that she wasn’t late, courteously greeted everyone. “Hello, everyone.”

She glanced around, her gaze briefly lingering on Miranda.

Felix and Jonathan were in the same class, so it wasn’t surprising to find Miranda here. Miranda sat at the head of the table, pretending not to notice Cecilia as she sipped her coffee.

Seeing how coldly Miranda treated Cecilia, the others didn’t respond to Cecilia’s greetings either. Priscilla, who had invited Cecilia to join the parents‘ association the day before, waved at her. “Ms. Cecilia, come and sit next to me.”

Gratefully, Cecilia glanced at her before taking a seat on the empty chair next to her.
