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

Chapter 1877 Out Of Her Mind

Just then, a piercing gaze locked onto her.

She felt it immediately. When she looked up, her eyes met Zachary's.

He was standing not far away, having brought a few clients out for lunch.

Zachary's brows drew together, his face unreadable.
