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

Chapter 1574 The Past

"I still remember the first time I met Cecilia."

Recalling his youthful and innocent days, Eric couldn't help but smile. "Back then, she told me I had talent and treated me like a little brother, teaching me all sorts of things. Later, she even wrote songs for me and accompanied me to countless companies. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have become a famous singer." Eric's voice carried a trace of nostalgia, a longing for the past.

He didn't know when exactly he fell for Cecilia. At first, he thought it was gratitude, but over time, he realized there weren't many women who could earn his genuine respect like she did.

"I feel like Ceci represents my youth," he said.

Hearing this, Calvin nodded in understanding.

"Have you ever considered that your feelings for Cecilia might not actually be love? Perhaps it's just pure admiration?"

Eric turned to glare at him, his usual arrogance returning. "Don't lecture me. I've lived long enough to know the difference between love, friendship, and admiration."

With that, he stormed off, clearly annoyed.

Watching Eric leave like a petulant child, Calvin couldn't suppress a small laugh.
