When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Take The Check
The next morning, when Cecilia wanted to make oatmeal, she discovered that not a single one of the carrots she had bought was left.

She had searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so she had no choice but to substitute it with other ingredients.

Nathaniel was nowhere to be found early in the morning. Apparently, he had gone to the hospital.

In the dimly lit basement, Calvin slowly opened his eyes, realizing that he was bound to a wooden bench. Blood was freely flowing from a wound on his forehead, and his entire body was riddled with injuries. The pain was unbearable, as though his wounds had been dipped in salt water.

A voice echoed from directly across him.

“Mr. Rainsworth, this guy is quite skilled. I had fifteen men with me, but all of them got injured. It was only with great difficulty that we managed to subdue him,” said Mason to Nathaniel.

Upon hearing the voice, Calvin looked over and saw Nathaniel sitting lazily in the chair opposite him.

Noticing Calvin moving, Mason immediately informed Nathaniel. “He's awake now.”

Calvin knew that this time, it was Nathaniel's people who had made their move.

When he sought out Cecilia, no one else knew. Foreign influences couldn't intervene yet.

He had become too complacent living in his home country that he forgot to stay on guard and bring his bodyguard along.

“Nathaniel, did you really think that by bringing me here, Ceci would just accept you again?” A cold smirk tugged at Calvin's lips. “If she wanted to be with you again, she wouldn't have had a child with me.”

Nathaniel's expression turned grim. “Is that so? What if you were to disappear then?”

“She'll despise you even more for depriving her child of a father,” stated Calvin calmly.

As a man, he knew how to inflict deeper pain on another man.

As expected, these words hit Nathaniel's weak spot.

But he didn't want to spare Calvin just like that.

His subordinates kicked Calvin one after the other.

Calvin tightly pressed his lips together, unwilling to make a single sound.

Mason watched, feeling a certain admiration for the man before him. If it weren't for the fact that Calvin wanted to steal someone else's wife, he would indeed be quite a courageous man.

Their neighbor living next door knocked and offered some cured meat. “Nathaniel, we made this ourselves. Take it.”

Nathaniel was just about to refuse when the neighbor asked, “Nathaniel, have I seen you somewhere before? You look just like a big movie star.”

Thinking about how Nicholas had appeared on TV, Nathaniel replied indifferently, “We've never met.”

After he finished speaking, he took out a check and handed it to his neighbor.

“Thanks for meat. Feel free to fill in the amount yourself.”

The neighbor stared at the check, completely befuddled.

Without any further ado, Nathaniel closed the door.

He couldn't let others know about his current identity yet. After all, it would take some time before the new company could be established.

Upon seeing Nathaniel's attitude, the neighbor immediately became displeased and decided not to take the check.
