When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1885

Chapter 1885 Let Us Divorce
Upon being yelled at by Robert, Elena was also startled.

She was at a loss for words, choosing to remain silent.

At that moment, she felt a profound sense of sorrow. Why was it that Wren left her to shoulder everything on her own? Why was he free to enjoy himself outside?

Loss of hope toward someone didn't happen all at once, but rather, it was the result of a gradual accumulation of disappointments.

That night was destined to be sleepless.

By the time Nathaniel's father rushed back, some of the Rainsworth family's relatives had also arrived.

Elena had already changed into mourning clothes.

Wren first glanced at his father, then moved closer to Elena. “Why didn't you tell me sooner?”

Gazing at him, Elena's weary eyes were filled with disappointment. “Are you certain I never mentioned it? A month ago, I informed you that Dad's health was deteriorating. I asked you to return so he could sort out his affairs.”

“I thought you asked me to come back just to fight over Dad's inheritance,” Wren enunciated.

Shock filled Elena's eyes.

Her hand dropped to her side, tightening into fists. “Wren, you truly have surprised me. You're right. I did want you to return so that Dad could act a little more fairly. Did you know? When Dad died, he left all his inheritance to Robert's family.”

Upon hearing all this, Wren simply found it uninteresting.

“It's just some money. What's the big deal? So be it. After all, we're all family,” Wren said. After finishing his words, he left to attend to the guests who had arrived.

He even chatted cheerily with Robert.

From a distance, Elena watched, disappointed to her core.

Standing by Nathaniel's side, Cecilia, as Niel's granddaughter-in-law, was also tasked with greeting the guests.

She also witnessed the falling out between Elena and Wren.

Over the years, ever since she married into the Rainsworth family, she rarely saw Wren.

She had heard from others that Wren had been quite the rebel in his youth. He had no interest in managing the company, preferring to spend his days traveling and living life on his own terms.
