Chapter 322 Did Not Know Better

R+5 Pearls

At the entrance of the ravioli shop, Cecilia quickly pulled back her hand, which Calvin put on his face. “I didn’t know better when I was young.”

When she was just a few years old, she had no understanding of the differences between boys and girls.

Moreover, back then, Calvin was just a chubby little kid, not even as tall as her.

She treated him like a younger brother, and every time Martha made something delicious, she would bring some for him.

However, at that moment, he towered over her by a head’s length and appeared incredibly handsome.

More importantly, he carried an air of defiant nobility around him. Hardly any young gal would dare to touch his face with their cold hand.

Calvin’s eyes reflected Cecilia’s polite yet distant demeanor. A hint of desolation swept across the depths of his gaze as he said, “Actually, you don’t need to do that in front of me.”

Calvin always remembered the winters of his childhood, when he suffered in the cold. Cecilia would secretly bring him clothes, blankets, and food. Additionally, she would always manage to cheer him up.

Had it not been for Cecilia, he would’ve died of hunger or cold if not at the hands of someone else.

Cecilia shook her head. “We all must learn to be sensible. Being too childish can easily annoy people.”

In the past, her lack of maturity and understanding of the world led her to marry a man who didn’t love her, a decision that resulted in her being disdained.

Suddenly, Calvin was filled with regret. He wished he had taken Cecilia with him when he initially left Sparaville or returned before she married.

Had he met her earlier, had he found her before she married Nathaniel, he believed she wouldn’t have been as cautious as she was at that moment.

With those thoughts in mind, Calvin leaned closer to Cecilia and suddenly said, “Ceci, how about we- Get together?

Before he could finish his sentence, a familiar, icy voice echoed from a distance. “Darling.”

Cecilia, following the direction of the voice, saw Nathaniel and Mason standing not far away.

Mason was glaring at Cecilia in anger.

Nathaniel walked straight toward her. Even though he couldn’t see her, he effortlessly reached out

and grasped her hand. “Darling, why is it taking you so long to buy ravioli? I was really worried. about you.”

He couldn’t see, so he pretended not to notice Calvin, continuing, “Why are your hands so cold? Would you like me to warm them up?”

At that moment, Cecilia felt as if all the blood in her body was boiling due to Nathaniel’s actions. and provocative words.

In front of Calvin, her face turned beet red with embarrassment as she awkwardly attempted to pull her away from Nathaniel.

Nathaniel, however, refused to release her. With a strong pull, he instantly drew Cecilia into his arms. “Darling, why are you so cold? Once we get back, I’ll make sure to warm you up.”

Had there not been outsiders present, Cecilia would have certainly swore at Nathaniel.

With her freed hand, she firmly pinched Nathaniel’s waist. “My friend is here. Watch yourself.”

Nathaniel endured the pain and did not release Cecilia.

“What friend?” His voice had grown somewhat colder.

Calvin didn’t expect that Nathaniel had genuinely gone blind. It seems that the news has been spreading lies. How is he pretending so convincingly?

“Mr. Rainsworth, my name is Calvin Reese. We grew up together since childhood. In the years. when she was not by your side, she was living with me.” Calvin’s eyes and brows were cold as he spoke. “You should know when you still have your memories.”

The tension between the two men was palpable.

Cecilia couldn’t free herself from Nathaniel. Just as she was about to speak to him, he unexpectedly took the initiative and spoke harshly to Calvin.

“Usually, I remember the people and events my wife tells me about.” After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and asked Cecilia, “Darling, why didn’t you tell me you had such a male friend?”

He was trying to imply that Cecilia no longer cared about Calvin.
