Chapter 167 Your Love Is So Cheap

Cecilia’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She had always known that Calvin’s status abroad was not a simple one, but she had never known. what exactly he did.

Oftentimes, she discovered that he would sustain severe injuries.

“Doing something that harms others without benefiting yourself isn’t really your style, is it?” Cecilia feigned calmness..

Nathaniel’s towering figure stood in front of Cecilia.

“From what you’re saying, it seems like you know me well. How do you know that it’s not my style?” His Adam’s apple moved slightly as he spoke.

Cecilia stared right into his eyes. “Isn’t it unprofitable to spend more money on a losing business?”

Nathaniel let out a cold, sarcastic laugh.

“You’re wrong. I never engage in unprofitable business. Sitting in my current position, I know that some business ventures aren’t just about the money.”

Over the years, he had repeatedly suppressed Calvin’s domestic businesses, causing them to struggle.

Cecilia clenched her fists. She wanted to slap him badly, but she didn’t dare to.

“What have I done to you? Apart from deceiving you into marriage, what else do you recessi for?”

Cecilia lowered her gaze. “So, you’re saying that I should just let you mistreat me without any resistance, is that it?

A knot formed in Nathaniel’s throat.

“When have I ever mistreated you?”

He believed that he had been nice to Cecilia during their marriage.

“I’ve given you an endless supply of money. What do you want that I haven’t given you, except love?”

He had arranged for Mason to send Cecilia the monthly expenses after they got married.

That sum of money was more than what an average person could spend in several lifetimes.

Money again…

“I’ve never used that money. What I want isn’t those things.” Cecilia murmured in response.

Nathaniel thought she was once again expressing her discontent about not having children.

He leaned down to kiss her.

Startled by the unexpected kiss, Cecilia swirly pulled away.

His lips brushed against her forehead and her face

Unable to contain herself any longer, Cecilia raised her hand, intending to hit him.

Nathaniel swiftly seized her wrist, pulling her into a firm embrace.

*I’ll give you what you want now.”

Cecilia discovered that he was genuinely ill.

Back when she was desperately in love with him, he had declared. “I will never lay a hand on your in this lifetime.”

Aside from wanting a child, she had no desire to be involved with him physically in any

other

way.

Nathaniel held her hand tightly, wishing he could meld her into his very marrow.

“You once told me you’d only ever love me in this lifetime. Your love is so cheap.”
