When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel
Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Couple Rings

After Nicholas finished speaking, he looked toward the door. Then, the bodyguards came in and carried Cassandra away.

Cassandra wanted Nicholas to accompany her, but considering what she had been through, she simply lacked the confidence.

Nicholas silently watched her leave. Then, he removed his coat, wiped his hands, and tossed the coat into a nearby trash bin.

Meanwhile, Tudela was blanketed in white snow. The river had been encased in a thick layer of ice. Cecilia was leaning against her seat and gazing out the window. The warmth inside the car had fogged up the glass, making the outside view somewhat blurry.

Cecilia shifted her gaze and observed the gift in her arms. She was curious to see what it contained.

She pulled out a delicate box which was no bigger than the size of her palm from the bag. When she opened the box and saw what was inside, her eyes momentarily widened in surprise.

There was an exquisite silver ring inside the box. Etched onto the ring were the initials of two names carved by Cecilia when she was a child.

The ring was part of a set of couple rings. One belonged to Cecilia, and the other belonged to Nicholas.

When Cecilia married Nathaniel, she asked him about the ring, to which he responded, “What ring?”

Back then, Cecilia thought he had lost the ring.

Looking back, if she had asked more questions, she wouldn’t have mistaken Nathaniel for Nicholas.

Cecilia gazed at the inscription on the ring. CS NR.

The initials inscribed on this ring belonged to Nathaniel.

As Cecilia clenched the ring tightly, it dug deep into her palm, intensifying the guilt within her for mistaking Nicholas.

She took out her smartphone and replied Nicholas‘ message. Okay.

Then she sent another message. I saw the gift you left. I’m truly sorry for mixing up you and Nathaniel, but let’s still remain friends. If there’s anything I can help with in the future, don’t hesitate to ask.

Cecilia thought that Nicholas‘ act of returning his ring to her indicated his intention to leave the past behind.

A response came swiftly from the other side, consisting of just one word. Okay.

Cecilia switched off her cellphone.

Every subtle action of hers was noticed by Nathaniel. Knowing that Cecilia would surely tell him. if she wanted to, he didn’t ask.

Nathaniel waited and waited, but they arrived home in silence.

His attractive brows slightly furrowed. When Cecilia disembarked from the car, he didn’t follow her.

“Why aren’t you getting out of the car?” Cecilia asked, puzzled.

“There’s still some matters to attend to at the company. I need to go over,” Nathaniel responded.

“All right, I’ll head back first.”

Cecilia picked up the gift and headed home. Ready to let bygones be bygones, she was planning to discard the ring once she found the matching pair.

As soon as she left, Nathaniel had Mason hurry over.

After reviewing the footage from the vehicle’s camera, Mason reported, “Mrs. Rainsworth opened a box in the car, and there was a ring inside the box.”

Nathaniel contemplated the gift that Nicholas had given Cecilia. Who would have thought it was a ring?

And Cecilia kept it?

“Is there nothing else?”

“She sent a text message.”

“Who was it for?”

Mason felt a bit awkward. There was a camera in the car, but it didn’t capture the screen of Cecilia’s phone.

The reason he said he was replying to a message was because he had inferred it from Cecilia’s actions.

After revealing the truth to Nathaniel, a moment of silence ensued. Then, he said, “Later, have someone sneak out that ring.”

Mason replied, “Okay.”

Mr. Rainsworth is truly a control freak. I can’t believe he needs to investigate even the smallest of matters. “Are you planning to go back now?” Mason asked.

Nathaniel sat in the car, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Let’s discuss further once we get the

Mason was feeling all sorts of discomfort sitting in the car with Nathaniel. He was still thinking of going back to appease his fiancée who was throwing a tantrum.

“Okay.”
