When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Couple Rings
After Nicholas finished speaking, he looked toward the door. Then, the bodyguards came in and carried Cassandra away.

Cassandra wanted Nicholas to accompany her, but considering what she had been through, she simply lacked the confidence.

Nicholas silently watched her leave. Then, he removed his coat, wiped his hands, and tossed the coat into a nearby trash bin.

Meanwhile, Tudela was blanketed in white snow. The river had been encased in a thick layer of ice. Cecilia was leaning against her seat and gazing out the window. The warmth inside the car had fogged up the glass, making the outside view somewhat blurry.

Cecilia shifted her gaze and observed the gift in her arms. She was curious to see what it contained.

She pulled out a delicate box which was no bigger than the size of her palm from the bag. When she opened the box and saw what was inside, her eyes momentarily widened in surprise.

There was an exquisite silver ring inside the box. Etched onto the ring were the initials of two names carved by Cecilia when she was a child.

The ring was part of a set of couple rings. One belonged to Cecilia, and the other belonged to Nicholas.

When Cecilia married Nathaniel, she asked him about the ring, to which he responded, “What ring?”

Back then, Cecilia thought he had lost the ring.

Looking back, if she had asked more questions, she wouldn't have mistaken Nathaniel for Nicholas.

Cecilia gazed at the inscription on the ring. CS&NR.

The initials inscribed on this ring belonged to Nathaniel.

As Cecilia clenched the ring tightly, it dug deep into her palm, intensifying the guilt within her for mistaking Nicholas.

She took out her smartphone and replied Nicholas' message. Okay.

Then she sent another message. I saw the gift you left. I'm truly sorry for mixing up you and Nathaniel, but let's still remain friends. If there's anything I can help with in the future, don't hesitate to ask.

Cecilia thought that Nicholas' act of returning his ring to her indicated his intention to leave the past behind.

A response came swiftly from the other side, consisting of just one word. Okay.

Cecilia switched off her cellphone.

Every subtle action of hers was noticed by Nathaniel. Knowing that Cecilia would surely tell him if she wanted to, he didn't ask.

Nathaniel waited and waited, but they arrived home in silence.
