When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 1138

Chapter 1138 Spam Call 

“That’s odd. Where is he?” Zachary wondered. 

“Just forget it.” 

Darren didn’t want to waste time. 

Given that the Smith residence was heavily guarded by bodyguards all around, it was quite difficult for Darren to sneak in to see Madeline and Amelia. 

He could only observe the situation from a distance. Although he couldn’t see clearly, it was enough to give him a sense of reassurance. 

He looked on for a very long time. 

Zachary was worn out. Seeing that Darren refused to leave, he had no choice but to call for a ride home. 

He vowed to himself that he would never let his curiosity lead him to follow these two men again. It was truly dull. 

In the Smith residence, Cecilia had already laid down to sleep, lightly dozing off, when suddenly, she found herself being pulled into someone’s embrace. 

Immediately, she opened her eyes and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp. Following that, she saw the magnified handsome face of Nathaniel. 

“Am I dreaming? How did you get in?” 

Naturally, Nathaniel wouldn’t admit that he had scaled the wall to get in and nearly got caught by Sven and the bodyguards. 

“How many bodyguards did you ask Sven to hire?” he asked, his voice hoarse. 

Originally, this area was filled with his people, but now, there were others present as well. 

“Not many, about ten or so here,” replied Cecilia. “Is there a problem?” 

“No, you did very well.” 

Nathaniel realized it was great for Cecilia to have someone reliable in her life. However, a hint of disappointment lingered in his heart, fearing that she would need him less and less as time went on. 

He held her tightly in his arms. 

Cecilia struggled a bit and said, “You’re squishing my stomach.” 

Only then did Nathaniel relax a bit, noticing that Cecilia’s belly was now noticeably swollen. 

“What brings you here?” Cecilia asked again. 

Nathaniel felt a bit awkward to admit that he was upset because Cecilia didn’t reply to his messages. Instead, he changed the subject. “Do you know that Nicholas is getting married?”

Chapter 1138 Spam Call 

Despite her seemingly casual words, Nathaniel remained unconvinced.

He looked away and said, “I just felt like it had been a long time since I last saw you, so I came to visit.” 

Cecilia felt that the current Nathaniel was acting a bit peculiar. 

“Once you’re feeling better, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet. There’s no rush.” 

“Yeah.” 

“All right, time for bed.” Cecilia closed her eyes. 

Nathaniel found himself gazing at her sleeping face, unable to resist reaching out to her. 

Cecilia shook her head. “Stop messing around. I just want to get some good sleep. 

This was a rejection. 

For the first time. Nathaniel felt a twinge of fear. He also began to doubt his own charm, worrying that Nicholas might steal Cecilia away from him. 

Unaware of all these, Cecilia quickly fell asleep. 

The next morning came, and it was still before dawn. 

Cecilia’s phone started ringing even before she had woken up. 

Nathaniel took a glance at the phone. It was a call from Nicholas. 

He furrowed his brows, abruptly ending the call. 

Blinking groggily, Cecilia asked. “Who is it?” 

“It’s just some spam call,” 

“Oh. 

“Get some more rest. I’m leaving first,” Nathaniel said in a hushed tone. 

In a daze, Cecilia nodded. “Okay.” 

Before he left, Nathaniel made sure to erase the call history.
