When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1804 Cassandra Had It Tough

Cecilia finally understood the good intentions behind her granddad's actions.

She earnestly replied, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself. I can't promise that I'll never be deceived, but I assure you I won't place all my hopes on others."

Upon hearing her promise, Alphonse finally nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright." He patted Cecilia on the shoulder. "Seeing you like this, we can rest easy. Whatever happens in the future, you must tell me and your granny. We may be old, but we're tough and can handle a bit of trouble."

"Alright." Cecilia's eyes crinkled into a smile.

Alphonse had asked her to call over Nathaniel as well.

Just after managing to eat a bit, Nathaniel hurriedly headed toward Alphonse's study.

Initially, Cecilia had intended to accompany him and hear what Alphonse had to say. However, to her surprise, Alphonse asked her to leave.

She had no other choice but to wait outside.

After what felt like an eternity, Nathaniel finally emerged from Alphonse's study. As they retreated to their own room, Cecilia couldn't help but ask, "What did Granddad say to you?"

"It's nothing. He just asked me to take good care of you," Nathaniel responded.

In truth, during their time in the study, Cecilia's granddad had issued him a stern warning. Alphonse had told Nathaniel that if he dared to betray Cecilia, he would face severe consequences.

Nathaniel listened in silence. Far from being upset, he was actually pleased for Cecilia.

Now, there were finally relatives and friends who genuinely cared for her.

"Is that all?"

Upon reaching the room, Cecilia was still somewhat puzzled. After all, her granddad and Nathaniel had been in the study for a long time.noveldrama

She didn't even manage to listen to Nathaniel's reply when she heard the sound of the door being locked.

When Cecilia turned around, she was immediately swept off her feet by Nathaniel, who pressed her against the wall.

"Cecilia, I've missed you so much." Nathaniel's voice was deep and magnetic, his breath becoming heated. Without another word, he sealed Cecilia's lips with a kiss.

Cecilia couldn't escape at all, and in no time, they found themselves entwined on the bed.

It was dinner time, and there came a knock at the door.

Thud, thud, thud!

Exhausted, Cecilia opened her eyes and glanced outside, noticing that the sky had already darkened.

She immediately crawled out of her blanket Looking around, she

that Nathaniel had already drticed

up neatly at some point and was heading to open the door.

Startled, Cecilia immediately grew fearful and hurried to put on her clothes.

Nathaniel opened the door, only to find Yuliana standing there.

When she saw that it was only Nathaniel who opened the door, her expression eased a bit. “Nathaniel, Grandma asked me to call you for dinner."

"Alright." Nathaniel turned around to call for Cecilia.

Yuliana, however, had no intentions of leaving. She stood in the doorway, peering inside.

The two elders of the Jamieson family were truly kind to Cecilia. The room's decor was particularly lavish.

Yuliana was filled with envy.

The room that Cassandra used to live in wasn't nearly as nice as this.

"Cassandra really had it rough," Yuliana mumbled to herself.

At that time, Cecilia had already changed into fresh clothes and quickly freshened up. She then joined Nathaniel and stepped outside, only to find Yuliana standing at the entrance, scanning her surroundings.

Upon seeing Cecilia and Nathaniel emerge, Yuliana retracted her gaze. With an

air of arrogance, she turned around and began to lead the way.

Nathaniel had already noticed the animosity this person held toward Cecilia.

He held onto Cecilia's hand, looking at her, wanting to ask what exactly was going

on.

Cecilia told him, “She used to have a

great relationship with Cassandra She believed that I was the one who Used Cassandra's misfortune and that I stole her place."

Upon hearing these words, Nathaniel found himself at a loss for words.
