When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571 My Confidence Is From You
At Nathaniel's words, Cecilia was left without a retort. She lowered her head and ate silently.

She didn't quite understand what was wrong with her either. It was as if she was afraid to accept help or kindness from others, fearing that she would end up owing them a favor.

It was also precisely for that reason that she never told Vivian and Nathaniel about it being Queenie and Cassandra who harmed her and Elliot even though she knew that it was them.

As Nathaniel listened to the sounds of her eating, he felt somewhat helpless.

The feeling of being ignored was truly unbearable.

Throughout the meal, he hardly ate anything.

When it was time to leave, Cecilia reached out and took his hand. “Let's go.”

Unexpectedly, Nathaniel remained seated without budging an inch.

Cecilia was bewildered.

“Are you leaving or not?”

<i>Is this guy throwing a tantrum?</i>

Shooting to his feet, Nathaniel pulled her into his arms in one fluid motion.

At the overly tight hug, Cecilia found it somewhat hard to breathe. She patted him on the arm. “Let go, please. Why do you keep hugging me out of the blue?”

They were going to leave, so the door of the private room was left open.

Having just finished their meal in the adjacent private room, both Cassandra and Nicholas happened to witness that scene upon stepping out.

Nicholas froze in his tracks.

Dumbfounded, Cassandra exclaimed, “I didn't expect to see Nathaniel and Cecilia here. Despite having been married for so many years, they're surprisingly still so lovey-dovey.”

Nicholas' gaze was gloomy, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Finally, Nathaniel dropped his hold on Cecilia, and they went out together.

Just as they stepped out, their gazes met with Nicholas and Cassandra's.

Cecilia couldn't help but feel awkward.

Worried that Nathaniel was unaware of their presence, Cassandra spoke up first. “Nathaniel, Cecilia, you two are celebrating Valentine's Day too?”

At that question, Nathaniel cast his gaze in the direction of Cecilia.
