Chapter 218 Infidelity During Marriage

Nathaniel had changed into a fresh set of clothes and was sitting upright on the couch with an air of elegance. His long legs seemed rather out of place.

His short hair was still damp. His facial features were chiseled, and a complicated look filled his pensive gaze.

“I dismantled the door and entered,” he replied indifferently.

Cecilia pulled her bathrobe tighter around her. “You need to leave.”

However, Nathaniel did not show any signs of leaving. Instead, he rose and positioned himself in front of her. “What exactly are you upset about?”

He hadn’t found out the reason yet and simply wished to hear it directly from Cecilia.

Cecilia, however, disregarded him. “It’s nothing. Can you please leave? I need to change my clothes.”

Nathaniel remained completely still. “It’s not like I haven’t seen your body before.”

In an instant, a blush crept over Cecilia’s face. Left with no other choice, she could only turn her back to Nathaniel as she changed her clothes.

Nathaniel had resumed his position on the couch. He fixated his gaze on Cecilia’s tense back, feeling a sudden dryness in his throat.

Soon, he realized he was experiencing some biological reaction and immediately averted his gaze, pulling out his phone to check if his bodyguard had finished the task he assigned.

Sure enough, the bodyguard sent him a message not long after: Mr. Rainsworth, we had to employ some tactics to get the housekeeper to tell the truth. They claimed it all started with Lily, Mr. Liam’s daughter, who insulted Ms. Smith. She even threatened to report the incident to Old Mr. Rainsworth, demanding that Ms. Smith leave Rainsworth Manor. It was only then that Ms. Smith left.

After Nathaniel quietly read through the message, the tension in the air around him instantly intensified.

He replied: Bring her over.

After sending the message, he shut off his phone and looked back at Cecilia, who had already. changed her clothes. “Why didn’t you just tell me?”

He was unaware that a housekeeper hired by the Rainsworth family had the audacity to drive his wife away.

Cecilia looked at Nathaniel’s face, one she was all too familiar with. “If I had told you. have believed me?”

A pang of unease settled in Nathaniel’s heart.

Cecilia continued calmly, “Whether you believe me now or not, I don’t think you’d stand me. Would she have dared insult or threaten me if it weren’t for you? It isn’t just her. Who among

up for the Rainsworth family ever truly regards me as Mrs. Rainsworth? Just like you, they see me as nothing more than a fraud clinging to the powerful and a deaf person.”

Cecilia enunciated, completely disregarding whether Nathaniel would get angry or not.

Regardless, she had already obtained the map of Spring Forest Manor and the sperm. The worst possible outcome would simply be a falling out.

For the sake of her two sons, she was fearless.

Nathaniel listened intently to her incessant accusations. Lily wronged her, so why am I in the wrong all of a sudden?

Refusing to back down, he retorted, “Are my assumptions wrong? Have you not lied to me? Are

Inexplicably, he caught himself before blurting out the mention of Cecilia’s hearing impairment.

If it were in the past, Nathaniel wouldn’t have held himself back.

But now, whenever he saw tears in Cecilia’s eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.

Yet, once the words were spoken, any restraint that followed held no meaning. The corners of Cecilia’s eyes reddened. “That’s right. Your assumptions are correct. I am a fraud, and I am disabled. So, I implore you, Mr. Rainsworth, to show some mercy. Please return my son to me and let us go free.”

Once again, hearing those words, Nathaniel involuntarily clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking

with the strain.

He sneered, “By the way, you forgot one thing. There’s also your infidelity during marriage.”

After he finished speaking, Nathaniel rose and positioned himself in front of Cecilia. “You treat me like this and still expect me to let you off the hook easily?”
