When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Everything Had Changed 

Braving the biting wind, Cecilia felt cold despite being bundled up in a heavy coat. 

Sven was mindful of the surrounding surveillance cameras as he drove, eventually parking at the location closest to her. 

Before long, he saw the slender figure of a woman approaching. 

He immediately got out of the car and opened the door. 

“Thank you,” said Cecilia as she stepped forward. 

Upon getting into the car, Sven considerately turned on the car’s heater. 

Ever since Cecilia traveled abroad, she had spent much time under Sven’s protection, so he knew Cecilia was afraid of cold. 

“Where should we go now?” 

Leaning back in her chair, Cecilia pondered for a moment before replying, “Let’s go back to Daltonia Villa.” Nathaniel will learn of my departure soon, and I’m sure he’ll find fault against me again. 

“All right.” Sven chose a scenic route for his journey back to Daltonia Villa. 

Cecilia gazed at the scenery outside the car window and asked him, “The last time you rushed home, did something happen?” 

Sven tightened his grip on the steering wheel, casually responding, “My fiancée called off our engagement.” 

Cecilia couldn’t help but be taken aback. 

As a bodyguard, Sven rarely discussed personal matters with Cecilia. That was the first time Cecilia heard about Sven’s fiancée. Unexpectedly, the engagement was called off. 

“Is it because of your job?” Cecilia asked, feeling somewhat embarrassed. 

Guards as dedicated as Sven were truly rare. Basically, as long as Cecilia sought him out, he would. be there, even if it was late into the night. 

Sven narrowed his eyes and fell silent for a brief moment. “She’s in love with someone else.” 

A brief silence ensued within the car after he finished the sentence. 

Cecilia didn’t know how to comfort him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know- 

Before she could finish her sentence, her phone rang urgently. 

She picked it up and saw it was a call from Nathaniel.

Recalling the attitude of the housekeeper at his house toward her, Cecilia didn’t pick up. Instead, she silenced her phone. 

Through the rearview mirror, Sven looked at her and asked, “Do you want to go back?” 

“No need. Let’s continue back to Daltonia Villa.” 

Cecilia no longer wanted to keep compromising herself. Why should I have to go back just because of a call from Nathaniel? Lily is considered part of his family, right? If it weren’t for his cold treatment toward me, would Lily ever dare to treat me so poorly? 

Meanwhile, Nathaniel listened to the automated female voice on the phone. “I’m sorry. The number you have dialed is currently unavailable…” 

He dialed Cecilia’s number again, but just like before, no one answered. 

Nathaniel’s patience had worn thin as he turned his gaze toward Lily and the other housekeepers standing before him. “Why did she suddenly leave?” 

One by one, the housekeepers looked at Lily, not daring to respond. 

Lily blatantly distorted the truth, explaining, “Sir, after you went to see Old Mr. Rainsworth, I was cleaning up your rooms. However, Ms. Smith jumped to a conclusion and slapped me twice. I was upset and wanted to seek you for justice, but she left.” 

As she spoke, she covered her reddened face with tears streaming down her cheeks.
