When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1669

Chapter 1669 Who Is He
It wasn't Yannick at the door—it was Nicholas.

Jocelyn was stunned to see him. “Mr. Nicholas? Why are you here? Is something wrong?”

Nicholas looked at her face, trying his best to suppress the chaotic emotions swirling within him.

“It's nothing. I just saw that you weren't replying to my messages or calls and thought something might have happened,” he lied.

Jocelyn quickly grabbed her phone from the table and saw that Nicholas had indeed called and texted her.

“I'm sorry, I had my phone on silent. It's been raining, and I was busy all day, so I didn't check my phone,” she explained.

Nicholas walked in without waiting for an invitation, his eyes immediately catching sight of an extra cup on the coffee table.

“What's going on?” he asked casually, though his tone had a slight edge.

“I went to meet my boyfriend's family today,” Jocelyn hesitated for a moment before answering.

Her boyfriend's family? Meeting the parents already? That is quick.

“Why the sudden relationship? Who's the guy?” Nicholas feigned ignorance.

Jocelyn clenched her fists slightly. “It's Yannick.”

It's indeed him.

Nicholas forced himself to keep his expression neutral. “Didn't you say you wouldn't be with him?”

“It's a long story,” Jocelyn said, pinching the palm of her hand. Standing in front of Nicholas, she suddenly felt like a child being scolded for doing something wrong.

Not wanting to reveal too much of her emotions, she turned to pour him a glass of warm water. “Mr. Nicholas, why did you text me? Is there something you need?”

“It's not important. I just wanted to ask where was the contract you had with Mr. Blaine. Since you didn't reply, I went ahead and found it myself,” Nicholas replied.

“That's good. I'll be more mindful in the future and won't let my personal affairs interfere with my work again,” Jocelyn promised.

Nicholas took the glass of water she handed him and took a sip.

The water was tasteless, yet it left a bitter taste in his mouth. “It's fine. You should focus on your own matters now. You're not young anymore. It's indeed time to think about marriage.”

He turned his head slightly and added, “But you should take your time to get to know Yannick better. Don't rush into marriage.”
