When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 Martha Is Dead
When Cecilia woke from her slumber, the world outside was bathed in bright daylight.

She picked up her phone and glanced at the screen, realizing it was already twelve noon.

Just as she was about to get up, she noticed a message from Nathaniel that read: <i>When are you going back?</i>

Cecilia was still uncertain, so she didn't reply to him.

She stepped out of her bedroom and ventured outside, where a housekeeper promptly approached her and said, “Miss, your toiletries have been prepared for you. Please, this way.”

Since they were unsure of Cecilia's status, the housekeepers had no choice but to address her that way.

Cecilia nodded at her. “Thank you.”

After she finished freshening up, the housekeeper led her to the dining room.

In the dining room, Calvin was seated off to the side, with Yannick directly across from him.

Yannick had improved significantly since the wee hours of the morning. At that moment, in clean clothes, with a healthier color returning to his face, he looked as if nothing had happened, engrossed in his meal.

Calvin hadn't eaten. He was sitting on a leather chair, holding a document in his hands.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from Cecilia's direction, he put away the documents. Looking up at her, he said, “Come over here. It's time to eat.”

“All right.”

Cecilia walked over, grinning and playfully said, “I initially came to take care of you, but now it seems you're the one taking care of me.”

A softness filled Calvin's features. “Does it really matter who takes care of whom?”

Yannick was seated across from them when he heard that. He was immediately choked by the soup he was sipping, causing him to cough heavily.

“I've had my fill. I'm off to rest now,” Yannick said. <i>Calvin is not listening to my advice. He's insisting on courting this married woman.</i>

As a regular guy, Yannick really didn't want to witness the interaction between the two.

Calvin watched Yannick's retreating figure, turning to Cecilia to explain, “Don't mind him. That's just how he is.”

“Okay.”

Cecilia didn't care about Yannick's attitude at all. After all, she was friends with Calvin, not Yannick.
