When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 Showing Off
Wren knew Cecilia was a good girl. It was unfortunate that she had married into their family.

He was the type who didn't like to meddle in affairs. At home, everything was managed and decided by Nathaniel and Elena.

“Take good care of each other from now on,” Wren said.

He was not one for sweet talk, but his words were sincere.

Cecilia nodded in agreement.

After Wren left, Cecilia's biological mother, Paula, and her younger brother, Magnus, arrived early.

Paula was dressed in luxurious clothing, arm-in-arm with her second husband, Ralph, smiling radiantly. When she ran into familiar faces, she didn't forget to mention that her daughter's engagement was today.

Cecilia thought back to her own engagement to Nathaniel, when Paula had received congratulations from others but had sneered, “Marrying into the Rainsworth family is us reaching above our station. I don't know if Cecilia can handle it. If not, won't it just end in divorce?”

Ironically, her words had come true—they were now indeed on the verge of divorce.

Nathaniel had disappeared somewhere and had not returned yet, while Cecilia was waiting for Vivian and Jonathan to arrive.

Not long after, Vivian arrived, but strangely, Jonathan wasn't with her.

“Vivian, where's Jon?” Cecilia asked, a little concerned.

Vivian gestured behind her. “My dad took him to show off. It'll probably take a while for him to get here.”

She knew her father well enough. When he started bragging about Jonathan, he'd lose all sense of time.

“Oh, by the way, where's your husband?” Vivian glanced around, not spotting Nathaniel anywhere.

Originally, she hadn't even received an invitation to the event.

After all, the Kennedy family was just a small fry compared to the Rainsworths.

But now, since she was about to be engaged to Zachary, she naturally found herself riding on the coattails of that connection.
