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.”

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.”

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.”
