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

Chapter 1238 That Feeling Will Fade

Jocelyn listened quietly, feeling sympathy for them. “Perhaps Mr. Nicholas and you would have been. together now had he not gone abroad for treatment.”

Cecilia took a deep breath. The older she got, the more she believed in destiny. All these what if scenarios mean nothing to me now. Maybe this is how things are always meant to unfold

Seeing Cecilia remain silent, Jocelyn assumed she, like Nicholas, was lost in memories of the past.

She couldn’t help but remark, “Ms. Smith, if you still have feelings for Mr. Nicholas, you should be with him and not let society’s expectations hold you back. I know he’s always had a place in his heart for you and only you.”

A look of discomfort crossed Cecilia’s face when she heard that.

“Jocelyn, what Nicholas and I had was just a childhood connection. We never dated, nor were we ever a couple. I’ve been married and divorced, and now he’s married with his own family too. Please don’t bring this

up again. There’s no way we could be together, and I’m certain I don’t love him.” Cecilia enunciated each word clearly, her tone serious and deliberate.

Fearing that Jocelyn might still misunderstand, she added, “Nicholas is a wonderful man. He’s helped me a lot in the past, and I’m truly grateful for that. But that’s all there is to it.”

Upon hearing Cecilia speak so firmly, Jocelyn realized her mistake. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood.”
