Chapter 246 Lost Her Forever

Cecilia actively avoided him. Momentarily taken aback, Nathaniel reassured her in a gentle voice, “I’m okay now. Have you been sitting here all night?”

Yesterday, he had asked Mason to bring in Cecilia, but Cecilia was unwilling.

Such a gentle voice stirred doubt in Cecilia once more, making her question if she had misunderstood something.

If it was because they were twins, then their names couldn’t possibly be identical, could they?

Furthermore, from what she knew about Nathaniel at the time, he would absolutely not tolerate being replaced by someone else, let alone accepting being someone else’s substitute.

“We’ve known each other since we were kids, right, Nathaniel?” Cecilia asked.

Nathaniel felt that she must have been terrified by his actions the previous night. He crouched down and embraced her. “Of course, we’ve known each other for over a decade.”

Tears welled up involuntarily in Cecilia’s eyes. “Yes, it’s been over a decade…”

How could she mistake him after all this time?

From a distance, Mason was witnessing his boss being tender to a woman for the first time. Event Elena had never been treated with such gentleness.

Nathaniel was puzzled as to why she had suddenly burst into tears, reaching out to wipe them away for her.

“I’m really fine, what’s a little allergy? It’s not like it’s going to kill anyone!”

His demeanor had softened, yet the way he spoke was different from when he was a child.

Over a decade ago, when he was hurt, he would say, “I’ve caused my Ceci unnecessary worry, it’s all my fault. I’m not in pain, I’ll recover soon.”

Cecilia felt that she was merely deceiving herself at that moment.

The two individuals had completely different personalities, how could they possibly be the same. person?

Yet, she didn’t notice this fact. She assumed that after he started dating Stella, he no longer had feelings for her, which was why he seemed so indifferent toward her.

Whenever Cecilia thought about these things, her throat would ache terribly.

Nathaniel gently patted her back, unsure of how to comfort her.

He didn’t even know why, but now, whenever she cried, he would inexplicably feel sad too.

After a considerable amount of time had passed, it was only then that Cecilia gradually found tranquility.

She knew that regardless of whether she had mistaken his identity or not, she had to leave. From then on, she would have nothing to do with him.

“You’re hungry, right? Let’s grab something to eat first. After breakfast, I’ll take you somewhere.” Nathaniel gently took her hand.

After breakfast. Cecilia realize that Nathaniel was taking her to the real–life location depicted in the comics by her favorite comic book artist.

More importantly, this place was filled with blooming cherry blossoms, exactly like the ones in the comic books.

Cecilia found it somewhat hard to believe that it was already nearing late autumn.

“All I can do is wait for you outside,” Nathaniel said solemnly

Cecilia nodded.

She stepped inside, every corner of the place was an exact replica of what she had seen in the comic book.

Nathaniel stood at a distance, watching her retreating figure. He couldn’t help but discreetly take out his phone and snap a picture of her, saving it for later.

It was in this moment that he suddenly found the figure before him strikingly familiar.

He had thought that after pleasing Cecilia today, the two of them could engage in something different that night.

However, when evening came, Cecilia declined.

“I’m too tired today. I want to rest early.”

Reflecting on how she had spent the entire time berating herself the previous night, Nathaniel decided not to give her a hard time.

Suppressing his desires, he held her close and asked, “Where do you want to go after we get back

tomorrow?

Upon hearing his words, Cecilia feigned sleep and did not respond.

She planned to surprise Stella the day after she got back and leave forever.

The night was deep.

Nathaniel held Cecilia as they drifted off to sleep, but he was plagued by a nightmare.
