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

Chapter 1954 Trying To Win Support

Of course, Cecilia understood the principle. But getting people to accept and trust her wasn't something that could happen overnight.

Seeing the stress on her face, Nathaniel's heart ached. "Take your time, there's no rush,” Nathaniel said seriously. "Just remember, I've got your back." He paused, then added, "We can handle this together."

"All right."
