When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Where Does That Confidence Come From 

Stella happened to catch the last sentence, which struck her as rather odd. 

Mason wasn’t one to meddle in other’s affairs. After a couple of teasing remarks, he didn’t disclose to Stella about Cecilia’s return. 

Stella knew better than to press further, yet deep down, she harbored resentment toward Mason. She headed straight for Nathaniel. 

“Nathaniel, Easter Day is approaching. Mdm. Elena has invited us to join her for dinner tonight.” 

The woman Stella referred to was actually Nathaniel’s mother. 

Without a doubt, she were once again urging the couple to get married and to start a family soon. 

Without lifting his head, Nathaniel responded, “Got it.” 

Upon hearing this, Stella took a seat on the sofa in the office. 

“I don’t have much to do today, so I’ll be waiting for you here.” 

The whole day? 

Nathaniel looked at her with narrowed eyes. “You seem to have a lot of free time?” 

Stella was taken aback. 

Before she could respond, Nathaniel curtly and coldly stated, “I’m not used to having outsiders around when I’m working.” 

Stella was instantly left speechless. 

She stood up. “I’ll wait for you outside then.” 

Nathaniel didn’t reply. 

Reluctantly, Stella left his office. 

Regardless of whether it was during their past relationship or now, Nathaniel always maintained this icy demeanor that seemingly pushed people thousands of miles away. 

Only someone like Cecilia could unconditionally accept such a man. 

When Stella stepped outside to clear her mind, she found Zachary’s office to be eerily empty. 

She asked the secretary, “Has Zach not been around lately?” 

“Old Mr. Sinclair has been busy arranging Mr. Sinclair’s wedding lately, so he hasn’t been able to come,” the secretary truthfully replied.

Wedding? 

Stella’s heart sank. 

In the past, Zachary had turned down George multiple times for her sake. 

When Stella learned about his arranged marriage, she felt an odd uneasiness in her heart. 

“Do you know who the other party is?” Stella inquired. 

Finished 

Upon hearing this, the secretary thought for a moment before responding, “When the Sinclair family was selecting a daughter–in–law, it was like they held an open audition. Still, a woman from an average family would never attract the patriarch’s attention.” 

An open audition? Does that mean it hasn’t happened yet? 

The turmoil within Stella’s heart gradually subsided. 

She made her way to the private lounge and couldn’t resist dialing Zachary’s number. 

Having known Zachary for many years, he had never once been angry with her. 

Surely, there was a reason behind his aloofness toward her over the past four years. 

She had to get things clarified. 

On the other end, within a discreet business vehicle near Ninth Ville, Zachary was gazing out the car window. “Does she live here?” he asked. 

The bodyguard accompanying him respectfully responded, “Yes.” 

Zachary was about to ask something, but then a ring from his phone interrupted him. He picked 

and saw that it was Stella who had called.

up 

Over the years, the reason he hadn’t done anything to Stella was all because of Nathaniel. 

If it weren’t for Nathaniel’s deep affection for her, she would have long ceased to exist in this world.
