When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1682

Chapter 1682 Not Going Anywhere
This is what Sven had in mind, but only he could perceive the difference. The sting of this betrayal didn't feel the same as the last one.

The last time, when he found out that his fiancée was with another man upon his return, he had decisively chosen to let her go.

This time, even though he was as decisive as ever, hesitation brewed within him. Images of Charlotte's face would sporadically surface in his mind.

Perhaps this was the difference between having feelings for the woman and not having any.

In the afternoon, Cecilia found out that Charlotte had become Eric's pretend girlfriend when he was in public.

“What are you two doing?” Cecilia was a bit bewildered.

Charlotte explained, “It was all to deal with Mr. and Mrs. Palmer.”

“But if this gets exposed, it will be even harder for the two elders to bear. It will be difficult to mediate by then,” said Cecilia.

“Eric had mentioned that he would seize this period to find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Once he found one, I'll be relieved of this position.”

“All right, then.”

After all that had been said, there wasn't much left for Cecilia to add.

When she finished work and was heading home, she sat in the car, with Sven at the wheel.

Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a collision with the car in front.

Cecilia was taken aback.

Sven apologized, “Sorry.”

This was the first time Sven had encountered such a situation while driving. From his distracted state, Cecilia could tell that he still cared about Charlotte. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so lost in thought.

“Sven, is there some sort of misunderstanding between you and Lottie?” Cecilia couldn't help but ask.

Without realizing it, Sven tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “No.”

Seeing that he wouldn't admit it, Cecilia was about to tell him about Charlotte and Eric's pretend relationship when suddenly, she received another phone call.

The call came from Queenie's secretary, Caliste.
