When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1886

Chapter 1886 The Day After Tomorrow
“It's precisely because I'm not getting any younger that I refuse to waste any more of my time on you!” Elena enunciated.

After she had finished speaking, she rose and retreated to the guestroom to rest.

Wren stood alone in his spot, staring at Elena's departing figure, unable to believe what had happened.

He was a carefree man. He believed that since Elena didn't divorce him after being married for so many decades, she must've brought it up at that moment because of Niel's inheritance. Wren figured things would be fine after a few days.

The following day, the funeral proceedings for Niel went on as usual.

Cecilia's friends also came to pay their respects.

“My condolences,” Meredith said.

Cecilia nodded.

Gradually, more people started to come over.

Unlike the somber atmosphere over at Cecilia's end, Miranda was all smiles. She was discussing Niel's last wishes with some people.

Wren and Elena, on the other hand, remained friendly in appearance but were estranged at heart.

Niel's funeral lasted for three days and three nights, followed by the burial.

Elena announced to Cecilia, Nathaniel, and Nicholas, “I've decided to divorce your dad.”

The entire family was taken aback, each one of them in sheer disbelief.

Wren's expression was rather grim. He had initially planned to resume his carefree travels right after Niel's funeral.

He never anticipated that Elena would propose a divorce.

He had assumed that when Elena mentioned divorce before, she was just joking.

“Are you sure you want to mention a divorce in front of our children?” Wren asked.

“That's right.” Elena nodded solemnly. “I've thought this through. I don't need a husband who's never around. Let's get a divorce today.”

Elena was informing everyone about her intention to divorce, not seeking her children's approval.

Wren was temperamental, too. Without hesitation, he agreed, and the two of them proceeded to handle their divorce.

Neither of their two sons tried to persuade them.

Originally, Cecilia intended to tease him a bit, but he didn't expect Nathaniel to take it so seriously, insisting on knowing the exact day.

Reflecting on her journey with Nathaniel, she couldn't help but acknowledge how difficult it had been for them to be where they were. She nodded with all seriousness.. “All right. The day after tomorrow it is.”

Only then did Nathaniel feel contented.

Meanwhile, Nicholas found himself alone, lingering in the vast residence.

He lit a cigarette, but before he could take more than a few puffs, he was seized by a violent coughing fit.

Right then, Robert approached him.

“Nicholas, what about our agreed collaboration? When will you take action against Nathaniel?”

Robert had successfully inherited all of the estate from Niel. He began setting his sights on the company and various projects under Nathaniel's control.

Nicholas snuffed out the cigarette he was holding. “The sooner, the better.”

“Good, good! You truly live up to my expectations!” Robert exclaimed joyfully.

Inscrutable emotions swirled within Nicholas' eyes.
