Chapter 1432 I Was Too Hasty

"What's the matter?" Nicholas asked.

After taking a sip of water, Cecilia finally said, "I want to go out and find a job."

Throughout the year, she had been living off Nicholas's money and still needed it for her treatments. Now that her health had greatly improved, she felt strong enough to venture out and make a living.

She didn't want to rely on Nicholas for everything, burdening him with the pressure.

She had assumed that Nicholas would agree without hesitation. However, after a brief silence, he asked, "Why the sudden desire to work? Is there something you want to buy or need? Just tell me, and I'll take care of it for you." ""It's not that."

Immediately, Cecilia shook her head. "The money you gave me is more than enough. I just want to rely on myself and not bother you with everything."

"How can you call it a bother? I would never consider you a nuisance." With that, Nicholas put an end to the conversation. "Alright, let's eat. We can talk about work next time."

Surprised that he had turned her down, Cecilia didn't force the issue and buried her head in her food.

After they had finished their dinner, Cecilia spent her time lounging on the sofa, engrossed in a book. These days, her life consisted of nothing more than household chores, reading, and watching television. It was utterly mundane. Nicholas, unbeknownst to her, had arrived behind her at some point.
