When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1895

Chapter 1895 Play The Matchmaker
Cecilia listened quietly, realizing Magnus still wasn't getting to the point. She finally said, “I'm about to get off work. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up.”

“Wait, Cecilia, hang on! I just wanted to ask if you could maybe do me a favor.” Magnus rushed his words, clearly worried she'd hang up on him.

“What kind of favor?” she asked.

“Well, you know how I recently started a company with some help from my brother-in-law? A while ago, I met someone while meeting with a client...” Magnus chose his words carefully. “She's really attractive, and I've been thinking, I'm not getting any younger. I was wondering if you could help me set something up between us.”

Cecilia hadn't expected to hear that Magnus had developed feelings for someone. Over the years, he'd dated plenty of women, but none of it ever seemed serious. This time, though, his tone felt different—more genuine.

“Who is she?” Cecilia asked.

“Her name's Chelsea Rainsworth. She's from one of the Rainsworth family's branch lines. You know her?”

The name did ring a bell. Cecilia thought for a moment. When Niel passed, that girl had shown up. If she remembered right, Chelsea was the granddaughter of Niel's brother, which made her Nathaniel's cousin.

But Cecilia couldn't recall what she looked like.

“I've heard of her, but we're not close,” Cecilia answered honestly.

“Can you help me, then?” Magnus asked quickly.

“I can ask around.”

Magnus' face lit up over the phone. “That's great. Thanks, Cecilia!”

“But let me make this clear,” she added. “I'll ask on your behalf, but I'm not promising anything.”

Cecilia knew full well that, with Magnus' background, getting involved with someone from the Rainsworth family wouldn't be easy.

It was exactly what she thought.

Cecilia didn't say anything right away.

Seeing her go quiet, Nathaniel assumed she was upset. “If you really want to help him, I can speak with her parents for you.” If Nathaniel stepped in, Chelsea's parents would likely show some respect.

But Cecilia quickly shook her head. “No, there's no need for that.”

Nathaniel looked puzzled.

She explained, “I already told Magnus I'd only ask around. I never said I'd make it happen. Please don't talk to her parents. It'd just make things awkward for them.”

She knew what kind of person Magnus was. Maybe he was behaving for now, but people could change in a blink. If things ever went wrong, she didn't want Nathaniel caught in the middle. And if Magnus ever hurt Chelsea, it'd be on her as well.
