When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 One Glass To Knock Her Out
By the time they reached the Rainsworth residence, night had already fallen.

A housekeeper came to open the door. “Mr. Nathaniel, Ms. Smith, dinner is ready and waiting for you.”

With a stoic expression, Nathaniel asked the housekeeper, “What did you call my wife?”

He could remember informing all the housekeepers to address Cecilia as Mrs. Rainsworth before he lost his memory.

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper lowered her head and immediately corrected herself, “Mrs. Rainsworth.”

It wasn't that she had forgotten Nathaniel's order; it was just that Nicholas was in charge now. Besides that, she had grown accustomed to being at odds with Cecilia in the past.

Cecilia hadn't expected Nathaniel to stand up for her. While surprised, her perception of him changed slightly for the better.

After they both got out of the car, they headed toward the dining room.

Nicholas and Cassandra had arrived here quite early. Due to the events of the day, Cassandra was subtly upset.

Swiftly, her gaze landed on the couple, Cecilia in particular.

Previously, Cassandra had only conducted a simple investigation into Cecilia, so she didn't know what the latter looked like.

The person standing before her bore a striking resemblance to herself, though Cecilia's eyes were notably more captivating. They were like a clear spring, unforgettable at first glance.

Only after seeing Cecilia wearing hearing aids did a hint of Cassandra's jealousy ease.

She rose to her feet. “Nathaniel, Cecilia.”

Cecilia gave a slight nod, putting on a good show.

The moment she stepped in, she had also paid attention to Cassandra. Indeed, the latter was exactly like what she had seen in the videos, and the aura she exuded was strikingly similar to Paula's.

At that moment, Nicholas approached the two of them, calling out to Nathaniel, “Nathaniel.”

Nathaniel's handsome face was impassive as he responded with a non-committal hum.

After Cecilia helped Nathaniel to sit down, the atmosphere in the dining room became somewhat strange.

Elena was still in her room, calling Wren to ask him to come back.

Nicholas glanced at the extra vegetables on his plate, a trace of coolness flashing in his eyes, yet he replied gently, “All right. Make sure you eat more too.”

As he was speaking, his gaze subtly shifted toward Cecilia, and then he subtly signaled to the housekeeper who was attending to them at the side.

The housekeeper swiftly came over to pour some red wine.

As the meal progressed, everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

Cecilia realized something was off that day. She wouldn't say she was the best drinker, but it was unlikely that a single glass of red wine could knock her out. Yet, now her head was spinning.

She assumed it was due to the long car ride she had taken that day and didn't give it much thought.

Nathaniel was drinking the same wine as her. Having always been a fixture in the business world, he was naturally accustomed to all kinds of strategies.

He stealthily poured away the wine.

After finishing their meal, Cecilia stood up, ready to leave with Nathaniel.

Nicholas also rose to his feet. “The snowstorm outside is quite severe. Nathaniel, Cecilia, allow me to see you out.”
