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

Chapter 2016 Never Been Rejected Before

"Never thought a guy could be so calculating. You caught Ms. Rainsworth's eye on purpose, didn't you?"

"Trust me, that trick might work for a minute. Once she thinks it over, you're toast."

"Yeah, you'll be the one crying then."
