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

Chapter 1290 Since When Are You Two Friends

If Nathaniel had been trailing her, Sven would have noticed and warned her. Nathaniel made sure she got into the car first before saying a word. Once they were both seated, he finally broke the silence.

“Didn’t you text me yesterday? I made a reservation like you asked. That doesn’t count as stalking, does it?” he said.

He knew Cecilia wasn’t fond of being followed, which was why he chose to approach the situation this way.

“Could you, in the future, ask for my permission before tracking my location when you come looking for me?” she asked, trying to keep her tone even.
