When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 540

A Doll Wife's Farewell to Her Torturing Marriage
Chapter 540 A Realization
“I've never heard him say he regained his memory. I asked him just a few days ago, and he said he hadn't,” Cecilia murmured as if speaking to Nicholas but also to herself.

She was pregnant at that time, so she couldn't afford to be overly emotional. She took deep, steadying breaths, forcing herself to calm down. It's all right. Isn't it just another deception? It's okay. Don't be angry. Don't be sad. It's all right. This is even better. Now, I can finally break free from him.

Cecilia comforted herself repeatedly deep within her heart.

Nicholas noticed her predicament. He gently grasped Cecilia's hand, assuring her, “It's okay. You still have me.”

Cecilia was taken aback. She stared at the hand that Nicholas had seized. At that moment, she still pulled away.

Nathaniel made a mistake, but she couldn't afford to make the same mistake he did.

“Nicholas, you are Cassandra's fiancé,” she reminded him.

Nicholas' hand stiffened momentarily, and a flicker of surprise crossed his face. After that, he said gently, “You've misunderstood. What I meant was that I'll stand by your side. After all, we're still friends, aren't we? Don't worry. Nathaniel did something wrong. I won't take his side.”

Only then did Cecilia breathe a sigh of relief.

She glanced at the time inside the car. It was already one in the morning.

“Let's head back,” she said.

“All right.”

Nicholas drove to drop Cecilia off first. On the way, his peripheral vision would occasionally dart toward her, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. No matter what, I must win Cecilia back. Nathaniel, don't blame me. You're the one who insists on taking what's mine.

They soon arrived at Daltonia Villa.

Cecilia got out of the car and thanked Nicholas.

“Let me borrow this car to drive back. I'll return it to you tomorrow.”

“All right.” Nodding in agreement, Cecilia returned to the mansion alone.

After she returned, she called Mason and said, “Mr. Sanders, there's no need to search anymore.”
