Chapter 545 See Your True Colors

Stella admitted that it was Nicholas who had asked her to attend to Nathaniel, but she didn’t divulge the detailed sequence of events to Cecilia.

Disappointment surged within Cecilia. She truly hadn’t expected Nicholas to resort to such

measures.

Subsequently, she kept her promise and let Stella

Stella hastily emerged from the basement. Once she was free, she immediately booked a plane ticket to leave Tudela.

She knew that if she didn’t leave now, neither Zachary nor Nicholas would let her off the hook.

Nathaniel didn’t pursue the matter further after learning Cecilia had allowed Stella to go

After all, a person like Stella posed no threat to him. If it hadn’t been for Nicholas and the Murdock family scheming together, she would never have been able to get close to him.

free.

Cecilia thought the same. Stella’s greatest skill is hurting others with her words. Why should I sully my own hands dealing with people like her, only to end up with the label of a criminal? She’s bound to cross paths with someone ruthless eventually.

A heavy snowfall was swirling about when Cecilia stepped out of the building.

Nathaniel asked, “Have you clarified everything?”

Cecilia nodded. “Yes.”

“Give me your phone,” Nathaniel added.

Cecilia was confused. Still, she handed her phone to Nathaniel.

Upon receiving her phone, Nathaniel realized he couldn’t see. He lowered his voice and said, “Delete Nicholas‘ contact information.”

“What?” Cecilia was puzzled by his unusual request.

“If a woman pursuing me were to deliver you to another man’s bed and even take photos to publicize it to the world, do you think I should still keep her contact?” Nathaniel had learned from his months spent with Cecilia after his amnesia, that he shouldn’t command her, but rather explain the reasons.

Upon hearing that, Cecilia instantly gained clarity.

However, she held a different perspective. “If we were to start over, you should indeed not have that person’s contact information. However, if we aren’t together, you having their contact information seems perfectly normal to me.”

+5 Pearls

They were all adults, and as adults, their primary pursuit was to maximize their own benefits.

If two people were no longer husband and wife, neither of them could prevent the other from pursuing happiness.

Nathaniel’s heart sank. Only then did he remember what Cecilia had said about reconsidering things. “So, you’re considering Nicholas as a backup?”

Cecilia’s gaze

shifted after she heard that. “Of course not.”

Putting aside the fact that she already had two children and was carrying Nathaniel’s child in her womb, the reality that Nathaniel and Nicholas were brothers was something she could no longer accept.

The tension in Nathaniel’s heart eased a bit.

Cecilia then added, “I’m planning to give him a call and clear things up.”

Nathaniel frowned. “Suit yourself.”

Cecilia made a phone call to Nicholas.

The call was quickly connected on the other end.

“Ceci, how are you? Has Nathaniel returned?” Nicholas continued to feign ignorance.

“I knew about everything that happened last night,” said Cecilia.

She had always felt indebted to Nicholas because she was unable to distinguish him from Nathaniel.

Nicholas fell silent for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry to hav

disappointed you.”

Nicholas gazed out the window. “I never intended to disrupt the bond between you and Nathaniel. However, I just feel like it’s not worth it for you to be with him. Why would choose someone who has hurt you before? You’re such a wonderful person, and you deserve someone even better, don’t you think?”

Nathaniel, with his exceptional hearing, could no longer bear it and snatched the phone away. “So, you’re implying that you’re the better person?”

Knowing that Nathaniel was beside Cecilia, Nicholas curled his lips. “Nathaniel, am I wrong? You two have been married for three years, and Ceci has been taking the medicine to prepare to conceive for the same amount of time. Because of this, she even fell into depression. Someone like you simply doesn’t deserve to be with her. I only want her to see your true colors. If you truly care about her, you should let her go. Also, have you told Ceci about the return of your memory?”
