On the way to Sparaville, the rain was pouring.

Cecilia was sitting in the passenger seat when she unintentionally caught a glimpse of Nathaniel’s strikingly handsome profile. Her breath hitched for a moment before she quickly regained composure, turning her gaze out the car window. 

In truth, before she got to know Nathaniel, she always felt that he was unapproachable. 

But now, she had touched every inch of him. 

She reminded a saying that even the most aloof man would change when physical intimacy was involved. It simply altered the dynamics between two people. 

Nathaniel had also noticed her gaze on him. During their break in the rest area, he took her hand into his own. 

“I’m not used to you being this quiet.” 

Cecilia looked at him and heard him say, “You used to always have endless things to say.” 

Upon hearing these words, Cecilia put on a wry smile. 

“Then you surely don’t remember when you told me that you didn’t like my chattiness.” 

Nathaniel was taken aback. 

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly turned somber. 

Cecilia thought she had said something she shouldn’t have, causing him to be upset. Consequently, she made a conscious effort to change the topic. 

“After we passed this rest area, there is a forest of maple trees up ahead. At this time of the year, there’s a lot of autumn foliage, and it is quite beautiful,” 

By then, early autumn had arrived. Darkness fell quicker, and the weather had gradually cooled down, especially when it was raining. 

As their car passed through the maple forest, it was already evening. The impending darkness was particularly intense due to the rain, yet one could still see a flurry of maple leaves falling. 

It was at that moment Nathaniel saw a rare smile on Cecilia’s face. 

He felt as if he had been transported back to the past, to the time when he first met her. 

She was a charming and adorable young girl back then. 

Once they passed the maple forest, the scenery outside was essentially obscured. 

Cecilia wanted to use her phone but found that its battery was dead. With no other option, she

had to charge it in the car. 

At that moment, Nathaniel handed her his cell phone. 

“Use this. There’s no password.” 

Cecilia hesitated for a moment before finally taking the phone.

Nathaniel’s phone was decidedly minimalistic. Other than the necessary office applications and communication tools, there were no superfluous items, not even a music player. 

Cecilia glanced around, eventually opening his browser, curious to catch up on the recent news. 

Upon opening it, she immediately saw the sixth trending topic: Stella Ross publicly apologizes for plagiarism. 

Her eyes were filled with nothing but disbelief. 

Just a couple of days ago, Nathaniel was trying to persuade Vivian not to pursue the matter further, so why has Stella suddenly issued a public apology? Nathaniel had never allowed her to suffer. 

Just as Cecilia was confused about the matter, the car arrived at the town. 

Nathaniel had made hotel reservations in advance. 

“Let’s just rest for today,” he said as he stepped out of the car. 

When the two of them entered the hotel together, Cecilia couldn’t help but mention, “I just saw the news; Stella has publicly apologized.” 

Not only did she publicly apologize, but the song was also pulled, resulting in a hefty compensation imposed on her. 

Nathaniel was not surprised at all. 

After all, he had arranged for Mason to get Stella to do all that. If the latter was unwilling, she would then have to leave Central Media. 

“You were right about what you said last time, plagiarism should come with a price.” 

Nathaniel did not expose her as Cecille when he spoke. 

Cecilia realized that he had truly changed a lot.
