When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1576

Chapter 1576 Stay Out Of Our Matter
Cecilia knew it wasn't wise to meddle in other people's affairs, but seeing how distressed Madeline was, she couldn't bring herself to stand by.

Nathaniel was aware of her difficulty in refusing others. he said, “Cecilia, think about it. Amy isn't just Madeline's daughter; she's also Darren's. He took his child. It's not for us outsiders to comment on.”

“Yes, I understand,” Cecilia replied. She wasn't unreasonable.

“Don't worry. I know Darren. He's not a bad person and would never harm Amy. As for Madeline, he's always liked her. He's probably trying to keep her from leaving this time.”

“Okay.” Cecilia nodded.

When she returned to the living room, Madeline walked over quickly.

“Ceci, how did it go?”

Cecilia shook her head apologetically.

Madeline had hoped Cecilia could help by persuading Nathaniel to find Darren, but seeing no other way, she resolved, “I'll go talk to Darren myself.”

She turned to leave, but Cecilia stopped her. “You're both angry right now. Wait for a while before going.”

Hearing this, Madeline paused as a thought struck her. She calmed down. “Okay.”

If she rushed over now and Darren locked her up again, what would she do?

She realized she'd been too impulsive earlier.

“Take a break for now,” Cecilia reassured her.

Charlotte joined in to persuade her as well. “Yes, exactly. Think of it as Amy spending a couple of days with her father.”

Though Madeline sat down again under their combined efforts, her mind was elsewhere.

She was consumed with worry that she might never see her daughter again. She clung to her phone, desperately hoping Darren would call.

At the Faust residence, Darren looked at his rosy-cheeked daughter, feeling a swirl of emotions.

“Mommy, I want Mommy! I want madam! I want Eli!” she repeated over and over.

Seeing his daughter cry, Darren panicked. He tried offering her toys, but after playing with them briefly, she began crying again, wanting to go back.

Nothing seemed to calm her down. Darren called the nanny for help, but even she couldn't console Amy.

“Mr. Faust, perhaps you should ask Mrs. Faust to come back. She might feel unfamiliar with the environment,” the nanny suggested.

Darren frowned. “Unfamiliar? I'm here, aren't I?”

Though he said this, his eyes were full of worry, fearing his daughter might cry herself sick.

The nanny didn't argue further. She pretended to coax Amelia by saying they'd go back, which finally calmed her down a little.

At that moment, Darren received a call from Nathaniel.

“Nathaniel, I told you not to meddle in my and Madeline's affairs,” Darren said with a hint of annoyance, assuming Nathaniel was taking Madeline's side.
