Chapter 600 Dejected And Disheartened
The cold wind howled past their ears, and Nicholas' grip on Cecilia's arm remained unyielding. He looked down at her, asking once more, “Ceci, have you?”
He was abroad, in a hospital, constantly yearning to return to her, yet she had fallen in love with someone else.
Besides, the person she had fallen for was none other than Nicholas' brother, who bore an uncanny resemblance to him.
Cecilia had no idea what was happening to her. She vehemently denied it.
“No.”
She had once married Nathaniel, all because she had mistaken him for someone else.
The reason she had started over with him then was because of their two children.
When Cecilia's words fell, Nicholas' heart remained taut, not relaxing in the slightest. “What about me?” he asked.
In the darkness of the night, his lips bore an unnatural shade of red.
Cecilia shook her head. “We're already history. Let go. I'm sorry.”
“I don't want to hear any apologies.” Nicholas lifted his other free hand, about to touch Cecilia's cheek.
Right then, a discordant applause rang out.
“Mr. Rainsworth, what's this?” Zachary, clad in a black coat, fixed his fox-like eyes onto Nicholas, his tone laced with a hint of mockery.
Nicholas didn't let go of his hand. “Mr. Sinclair, I didn't know about your penchant for meddling in other people's business.”
Nicholas' voice remained gentle, yet it carried an undertone of chilling coldness.
Zachary didn't really want to interfere, but Cecilia was his friend's wife. Moreover, she was the one who had saved his life.
“People often say that you, Mr. Rainsworth, have a gentler temperament than your older brother. I'm not so sure about that now. By holding onto Cecilia's hand like this, are you trying to show everyone how a brother-in-law flirts with his sister-in-law?”
Zachary deliberately emphasized the relationship between them.
Nicholas thought back to the rumors circulating online that day about Cecilia being involved with a celebrity. If word got out about the two of them, Cecilia would certainly face a lot of controversy.
Hence, he slowly let go of his hand.
“It's cold outside. Don't stay out too long.”
With that, Nicholas glanced at Zachary and quickly walked away.
Ernest was not one to stand up for others. Throughout his life, he had always known to weigh the pros and cons. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, that day, he found himself in a heated confrontation with Zachary.
Neither of the two yielded to the other, and before long, both of their faces were bruised or injured.
When Vivian regained her senses, she immediately pushed Zachary away and yelled at Ernest, “Get lost!”
For the first time, Ernest saw Vivian in such a state, and he left with a dejected and disheartened expression.
In the end, Cecilia left with Vivian and Zachary in the same car. On the ride, Zachary kept exclaiming, “Ouch! Argh! My handsome face is ruined.”
In this state, he had completely lost the imposing air he had when he was fighting Ernest earlier.
Vivian chided him, “Who told you to hit him first?”
Due to Cecilia's presence, Zachary dared not speak to Vivian. Thus, remained silent.
After stopping at the hospital entrance, he got out of the car.
Only then did Cecilia find the time to understand what had actually happened.
