When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1587

Chapter 1587 Ignorant Gossipers 

Cassandra flashed a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I can’t go,” she said softly. “I’m afraid that if we spend too much time together, I’ll only end up feeling sad when it’s time to part ways.“. 

Her words silenced Queenie 

“Mom, let’s go inside together,” Cassandra suggested, her voice lighter. “It feels like it’s been ages since we’ve attended a wedding this lively.” 

“All right,” Queenie agreed, following her inside. 

As they entered the lobby, Queenie immediately spotted Cecilia and her group. 

Today, Cecilia was a bridesmaid, wearing a blush pink gown that complemented her effortlessly. With minimal makeup, she still managed to captivate everyone around her. 

Queenie began to move toward Cecilia, her eyes fixed on her, but before she could take another step, Cassandra gently intercepted her. “Mom, Cecilia looks busy,” Cassandra said, her voice soft but insistent. “Let’s not interrupt her. How about we take a seat over there instead?” 

What Cassandra dreaded most was Queenie continuing to interact with Cecilia. Queenie had already made changes to her will before even having much interaction with Cecilia. What if, as they spent more time together, Queenie grew closer to her and decided to leave everything to Cecilia? If that happened, Cassandra would be left with nothing. 

“All right.” Queenie agreed without much thought, not wanting to disturb Cecilia. She and Cassandra then found a spot where the bride’s guests were seated and settled into their seats. 

Most of the notable figures at the wedding were acquaintances of the groom, so a few casual conversations were inevitable. 

A group of girls seated nearby couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. “Lucille is really lucky to have landed Mason,” one said. 

“True, Mason may not have come from a prestigious family, but the Sanders family is one of the top in Tudela. Plus, Mason is Nathaniel’s most trusted ally.” 

“Exactly, Lucille’s future looks set for comfort and luxury.” 

“I heard there were wealthy women who pursued Mason in the past, but he turned them all down. It must have been because Lucille is just too domineering.” 

They spoke in hushed tones, their words laced with criticism as they badmouthed Lucille. Inevitably, the conversation, shifted to her best friend. 

“Who’s that bridesmaid next to Lucille? She looks so familiar!” one woman remarked, pointing in Cecilia’s direction. 

My daughter doesn’t need to ride on anyone’s coattails! 

Someone casually mentioned Queenie, and the name immediately sparked interest. Among the wealthy, Queenie was a well–known figure. The group fell into an animated discussion, completely unaware that the very person they were gossiping about was sitting just behind them. 

As Cecilia accompanied Lucille in greeting guests, she belatedly noticed Queenie’s arrival. 

Lucille, feeling the need to be courteous, turned to Cecilia with a suggestion. “Ceci, would you like to go and chat with Mdm. Queenie?” 

After all, they were guests, and it didn’t feel right to leave Queenie and Cassandra sitting off to the side. 

Cecilia nodded. “All right, I’ll go over and ask them if they need anything.” 

She was only willing to do that because her job was to entertain the guests, not because of her relationship with Queenie. 

As she made a beeline for Queenie, the girls who were gossiping quickly shut their mouths, looking at her disdainfully.
