Chapter 373 It Will Not Happen

Cecilia shook her head. “No, what’s up?”

“It’s nothing. I just haven’t seen him for a long time. Why don’t you invite him over for dinner again sometime?”

Cecilia had also realized it and immediately relayed to Martha the conversation she had with Calvin last time.

“Martha, Calvin is just taking care of me as a friend. Don’t make it difficult for him.”

Friend?

Although Martha had aged, her eyesight was still sharp. How could she possibly miss the affection Calvin had for Cecilia?

Did Calvin give up his pursuit of Cecilia because Nathaniel is at home?

Upon thinking of this, Martha couldn’t help but worry for Cecilia.

“I understand. But Ceci, you need to think more about yourself. You’re expecting again. How can

take care of so many children?”

You

“I have money now. I’m not afraid,” Cecilia optimistically stated.

What Martha meant by “taking care” wasn’t about hiring a nanny to do so, but rather, she wished. for Cecilia to replace love and happiness.

But knowing that Cecilla was steadfast in her decisions and unlikely to change her mind, she didn’t bother to persuade her further.

The day seemed to pass by exceptionally fast.

The following day, Cecilia had to make another trip back to Tudela.

Watching her travel back and forth, Martha was truly heartbroken.

“I’ll

go with you,” Nathaniel said solemnly over breakfast.

He was worried about the child in Cecilia’s belly.

“It’s fine. You should focus on your work,” Cecilia declined firmly.

“Then bring the bodyguards along.”

Nathaniel knew that Cecilia wouldn’t allow him to accompany her, so he suggested a compromise.

“Sven’s company is enough for me,” Cecilia declined once again.

She felt that having too many people around her was too conspicuous, and she truly wasn’t accustomed to it. She was uncomfortable with the idea of being constantly followed by a crowd.

After having breakfast and stepping out, she found those previously unattractive bodyguards waiting outside.

Sven was by another car, a stark contrast to them.

As soon as Cecilia appeared, the bodyguards instantly bowed in respect..

“Mrs. Rainsworth.”

Cecilia, too weary to engage with them, headed straight for Sven. “Sven, let’s go.”

“All right.

Sven was driving, with four bodyguards trailing behind their car.

Cecilia called Nathaniel. “Tell your bodyguards to leave.”

“From this point forward, they are under your command.” Nathaniel responded gravely. “You can give them orders yourself.”

Cecilia was taken aback.

Under my command?

She had Sven stop the car first, then turned to the bodyguards following in the car behind. “Stop following me and go back.”

“Understood.”

Sure enough, the chief bodyguard immediately complied.

Inside the house, Nathaniel was holding his phone, his face a mask of quiet resentment after being abruptly hung up on.

The day before, he had asked Mason to tempt Sven, but Sven had turned it down.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was more to this bodyguard, and that he

wasn’t safe.

Looks like I’ll have to accompany Ceci on a trip to Tudela.

Martha had not yet retired for the night. Spotting Nathaniel lost in thought with his phone in hand, she found it a bit odd and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing… I’ll be working night shifts for the next few days, so I won’t be coming home.”

Night shifts?

Martha was somewhat taken aback, feeling even more strongly that he was no longer worthy of being with Cecilia.

“Go ahead, but make sure you don’t upset Ceci. If you do, be the one to ask for a divorce. Don’t waste any more of her time.”

Nathaniel rose to his feet. “Don’t worry. It won’t happen.”

His voice carried a resonance that could shake the earth.
