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

Chapter 2015 An Unexpected Rejection

Chelsea looked up at him; he seemed strangely familiar, yet she couldn't place where she had met him before.

Growing irritated, she demanded, "Are you looking down on me? Hm?"

Jason froze for a heartbeat, then shook his head. "No, I only meant to remind you."

He sounded unfailingly polite, the picture of a well-mannered gentleman.

Chelsea, however, was far from pleased. Studying the refined lines of his face, she declared, "You're underestimating me, Handsome. I can drink anyone under the table."

Jason merely watched her, said nothing, and turned to leave.

His retreat convinced Chelsea even more that he was belittling her.

She shot to her feet, and before Cecilia or Charlotte could react, she strode after Jason and blocked his path.

"What's your name?"

Clearly caught off guard, he answered at once, "Jason Whitaker."

"Jason Whitaker?" she echoed.

It was, to be honest, an ordinary name-no doubt there were plenty of Jason Whitakers in the world.
