When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel
Chapter 436

Chapter 436 Waste Of Space

If Nathaniel had not lost his eyesight, Adrian would have never dared to flirt with Cecilia.

To be honest, ever since Cecilia married Nathaniel, he had been completely captivated by her. She was simply beautiful beyond description..

As a married woman, she held even more allure to him.

“Mr. Rainsworth, please show some respect,” Cecilia rebuked coldly.

Adrian thought she was just being shy, so he relentlessly continued, “The current Nathaniel is nothing but a waste of space. He’s not worthy of you. If you become my mistress, I’ll treat you fairly.”

Cecilia had not expected the insworth family to have such an eccentric family member who had the audacity to speak to their cousin’s wife in such a way.

She could not be bothered to engage with him, so she simply walked away.

Despite her resistance, Adrian was relentless. He followed her closely, grabbed her roughly by her wrists, and begun touching her inappropriately.

There were other people around, and Cecilia did not want to make a scene, so Cecilia pushed him away firmly.

“Get off me!”

Adrian was instantly infuriated, “Why are you playing coy? You should consider yourself lucky that I’ve taken a liking to you. Otherwise, you’d be stuck spending the rest of your life with that useless Nathaniel!”

The commotion had drawn the attention of those nearby.

Some of them were servants, and some were distant relatives. They each watched the commotion unfold, offering no assistance to Cecilia.

After all, everyone knew who was running the Rainsworth family now.

Adrian was the only one in his generation who had a son, and he was greatly favored. If anyone offended him, they would have to face serious consequences.

As a woman, Cecilia was obviously no match for Adrian, and he managed to hold her down easily.

Her greatest fear had materialized, that too, in the worst possible place – a public setting. Spectators surrounded her, engrossed in the spectacle, yet not a single soul stepped forward to aid her.

At that time, Nicholas had also been called away on business.

Further, it had not been appropriate to bring Sven to the Rainsworth residence.

Adrian noticed that no one dared to intervene and rescue Cecilia. Feeling emboldened, he reached out to tug at her clothing.

Just as Cecilia’s skin was about to be exposed, a few figures pushed through the crowd and rushed. over. One of them knocked Adrian to the ground with a swift kick.

Adrian fell to the ground, clutching his chest in pain.

“Who? Who dares to kick me?”

A voice that startled him rang out, “Toss him into the river to sober up.”

It was Nathaniel.

He was standing right at the front of a few bodyguards.

Although he had not been present, he had been secretly protecting Cecilia through his men, and he had hurried over as soon as something had happened.

Upon hearing his orders, the bodyguards did not hesitate. They carried Adrian out without a second thought.

At that moment, Adrian’s drunken haze lifted. “Put me down! What are you planning to do with me?” he demanded.

“Nathaniel, how dare you!”

His voice swiftly faded as he was brought away.

Those who originally came to enjoy the spectacle each turned away one by one.

Still shaken from the recent events, Cecilia sat on the ground. Her entire body was trembling.

Nathaniel could not see where she was. He called out softly to her, “Ceci…”

Hearing his familiar voice, Cecilia slowly regained her composure. She looked up at him and said, “I’m here.”

Nathaniel followed the sound of her voice and found himself crouching down in front of her.

Immediately, Cecilia reached out and caught hold of his arm.

Nathaniel carried her in his arms and left under the curious yet fearful gazes of the crowd.

Cecilia leaned into his chest, still sobbing.

Her mind was filled with the nauseating image of Adrian’s lecherous face, as well as the mocking gazes from those around her, as if they were watching a television drama.

She held onto Nathaniel tightly rushed over in haste, and as he reached the entrance, he collided into Nathaniel carrying Cecilia.
