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

Chapter 1555 Is This Some Kind Of Joke

Cecilia stared at her phone screen, hesitating whether to call Queenie.

Upon getting up and returning to the living room, Cecilia ultimately decided to dial Queenie's number.

Queenie was in the middle of a meeting when she suddenly noticed a call from Cecilia. The excitement in her eyes was palpable. "Ceci!" She rose to her feet. "That will be all for today's meeting. Everyone exchanged glances, somewhat taken aback. Over the years, they had never seen Queenie cancel a meeting over someone's phone call.

Queenie held her phone tightly and quickly stepped outside, for fear of missing her call.

Once she was outside, she immediately answered.

"Ceci, it's so nice to hear from you. Is there something you need, sweetheart?"

Queenie's kind and gentle voice came through from the other end of the phone. The word "sweetheart" inexplicably tugged at Cecilia's heartstrings.

In her life, what she probably longed for the most was a sense of familial love.

Things that others took for granted were considered precious to her. She wondered if she could truly experience familial love and a mother's affection. After a long pause, Cecilia finally revealed the reason for her call. "I just wanted to ask how much money you gave to Magnus."

Queenie was stunned.
