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.

Miranda, however, wasn’t one to let things go so easily. She followed closely behind, a sneer on her face. “What’s wrong? Did I hit a nerve? How does it feel to be stuck taking care of a fool?” she pressed.
