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

Chapter 1429 Cecilia Is With Nicholas

A year later, on Christmas Eve, in a quaint town overseas, Cecilia busied herself in the kitchen. She prepared raviolis for Christmas dinner.

She called Nicholas. "Nicholas, when will you arrive?"

Nicholas had already arrived at the airport. "Probably around nine in the evening."

"All right, I'll wait for you," Cecilia replied softly.

Nicholas' lips curved into a warm smile. "If you're hungry, you should eat first. Got it?"

"Okay. I'm not a fool," Cecilia responded with a light laugh.

As the time to board the plane neared, Nicholas reluctantly ended the call.

Once he settled into his seat on the plane, he closed his eyes. Over the past year, he had moved Cecilia from place to place, strategically hypnotizing her at regular intervals, ensuring that she remained unaware of the truth. Cecilia struggled to recall many details of the past, only remembering Nicholas and the memories he had carefully crafted for her.

To avoid raising suspicion from Nathaniel and the others, Nicholas rarely traveled abroad, often using work commitments as an excuse for his absence.

Today, he was supposed to have dinner with his family. However, when Cecilia called, he made the decision to forgo it, choosing instead to spend time with her.
