When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1779

Chapter 1779 The Urgency To See Her
Darren didn't know whether he should be thanking Zachary or laugh at the latter.

He stepped forward, a hint of defiance in his tone, “Justice? Have you perhaps misunderstood something?”

Darren had too much to drink the night before, and he doesn't remember a single word I said.

Zachary sighed, choosing not to reveal the full story. He simply said, “I spoke with Calvin yesterday. He and Madeline are not in a relationship. Their dinner last night was nothing more than Madeline showing gratitude for his help. Nothing more.”

Upon hearing these words, Darren could feel the tight squeeze in his heart ease.

Subsequently, he felt somewhat perplexed.

“How did you come to know about all this? Why did ask Calvin about it?”

Zachary knew Darren was a proud man, so he didn't mention the latter's drunken antics. He just stood up, saying, “Of course it was just a guess, but my guess is spot on, isn't it? Anyway, I'm hungry now. Hurry up and ask your housekeeper to make breakfast.”

After he finished speaking, he went to the bathroom.

After Zachary had left, Darren let out a helpless laugh, then turned his gaze toward the mirror.

His coat had been changed at some point, though the clothes he wore underneath remained the same. He was reeking of alcohol, coupled with the nauseating stench of vomit.

Hence, he immediately went to take a shower.

It must have been Zachary who helped me change my clothes yesterday.

After taking a bath, Zachary was already eating the breakfast prepared by the housekeeper. Darren walked over and said, “Thank you.”

“No need for formalities. We're buddies after all. It's no trouble at all,” Zachary mumbled, his mouth full as he spoke.

“Did you also change my clothes?” Darren asked again.

Zachary was taken aback as he looked up at his friend. “How could I possibly change your clothes? You must be overthinking.”

It wasn't Zachary? Then who could it be?

Darren was about to say something when the housekeeper stepped forward. “It seems that it was Mrs. Foster who changed it. I heard some commotion yesterday and saw her carrying clothes for you.”

It was Madeline?

Darren's eyes were filled with disbelief.
