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

Chapter 1147 Danger Lurking In The Rainsworth Residence

From the outside looking in, people didn’t see Cecilia as happy at all. To them, she seemed pitiful. Even the housekeepers who worked in Nathaniel’s residence whispered behind her back.

“Who would’ve thought Mr. Nathaniel would end up like this? The poor Mrs. Rainsworth, divorced, and now she has to come back and take care of their child”

I bet Mdm. Elena gave her a hefty sum of money.” The gossip continued for a while, but as soon as Cecilia stepped outside, the chatter came to an abrupt halt.
