When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1839

Chapter 1839 A Concerned Employer
The following morning, Jocelyn bid Freya farewell because she was returning to Tudela.

Yannick was waiting for her at the door.

He got drunk the previous night, and he was still nursing a bit of a headache at that moment. However, he was genuinely happy.

When Jocelyn stepped out, he immediately approached her, taking her luggage in a gentlemanly manner. “Allow me.”

“Thank—” Jocelyn was about to say thank you, but remembering what Yannick said the day before, she quickly corrected herself and simply said, “Okay.”

With a cheerful grin, Yannick placed her luggage into the trunk.

Afterward, he led her to the car.

The driver initially wanted to lend a hand, but he was deterred by a single glance from Yannick.

The driver understood that Yannick wanted to show off in front of his future wife. I shouldn't be a third wheel.

Once she got into the car, Jocelyn received a text message. Upon opening it, she saw it was a text from Nicholas.

The text read: When are you arriving?

Jocelyn was just about to respond when Yannick uttered from the side, “Jocelyn, let me clarify something. I unintentionally saw the content on your phone.”

Jocelyn looked at him, not understanding.

“Oh. It's all right.”

She didn't mind if Yannick saw the content of her chat.

Only then did Yannick continue, “Didn't you take a five-day vacation this time?”

Jocelyn nodded. “Yes. I took a leave of absence.”

In the past, Jocelyn had hardly ever taken any leave. That was the only time she had requested such a long period off.

“If I'm not mistaken, today is only the fifth day, right? Why do you have to go to work?” Yannick thought Nicholas was acting oddly.

A man's sixth sense could sometimes be remarkably accurate.

Jocelyn also didn't understand what was going on. After shaking her head, she replied, “Perhaps there's been an issue at the company.”

Seeing that, Yannick suddenly felt better.

The corners of his mouth curled up high, his gaze fixed on Jocelyn's screen, curious to see what response Nicholas could muster.

He had waited for a long time, but there was no response from Nicholas.

Yannick's mood improved significantly after that.

At that moment, Nicholas was staring at the response he received from Jocelyn. He couldn't quite put into words how he was feeling, but he knew he was incredibly frustrated.

He set his phone aside, no longer sending messages to Jocelyn.

At three in the afternoon, Jocelyn returned punctually.

She got out of Yannick's car, and Yannick said to her, “I'll take your luggage home for you.”

“All right.”

Jocelyn took out her house keys before saying, “I'll send you the code for the door lock later.”
