When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel
Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Were We Deeply In Love

When Cecilia came over this time, Mason didn’t stop her.

At that moment, Nathaniel was standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling window and puffing away at a cigarette. Cecilia’s words from the day before were still echoing in his mind.

She had suffered a miscarriage, and the child had died long ago.

When he heard someone knocking the door, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand. “Come in.”

When Cecilia pushed open the door, she saw Nathaniel standing not far away, his tall figure outlined against the light. He was impeccably dressed in a sharp suit.

She still remembered the first time she saw him over a decade ago. Much like today, he stood under the sunlight, instantly capturing her gaze.

Nathaniel’s hawk–like eyes reflected Cecilia’s delicate face and impressive curves.

As he watched her, she had already closed the office door and made her way to him.

“Mr. Rainsworth, after our conversation yesterday, I checked the past records. I misunderstood you before. We truly were married at one point. Also, there’s something I’d like to clarify with you. When I mentioned going on a blind date before, I was actually standing in for my best friend.”

After that day, Nathaniel had found out about it.

Not expecting Cecilia to take the initiative to explain, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

“So, you came to see me just to explain this matter?”

Cecilia looked at him with her clear eyes and shook her head. “I’ve made up my mind. I want to regain my memories, but there are some things I don’t quite understand and I want to ask you.”

She was standing very close to him. With just one look, Nathaniel could her body clearly.

“What do you want to ask?” His Adam’s apple moved slightly as he spoke.

“Were we deeply in love before?”

Nathaniel’s expression changed dramatically.

Pretending not to notice his change, Cecilia continued, “Although I don’t remember many people or events, I firmly believe that I would never choose to marry someone that I didn’t love.”

Nathaniel’s deep eyes shimmered with a mysterious glint.

At that moment, he wasn’t sure if what he was feeling was joy or something else.

“Yes, you loved me very much.”

As he spoke word by word, his eyes had unknowingly welled up with tears.

Before Nathaniel could respond, her kiss had already landed on his thin lips.

At that moment.

blood seemed to freeze.

Her kiss was unpracticed and as delicate as the brush of a feather. Nathaniel watched her clumsy attempts, and soon, he couldn’t resist but take control.

The curtains all around were drawn, plunging the room into dimness. From within, one could faintly hear subtle sounds echoing.

It’s working!

Cecilia pinched her palm, striving to stay alert.

Thump, thump, thump!

At that moment, there were knocks at the door.

“Nathaniel.”

It was Stella.

Ignoring Mason’s attempts to stop her, she arrived at the entrance of the office.

Upon discovering that the doors to the office were tightly shut, she vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

To Cecilia’s surprise, someone was seeking Nathaniel even at noon.

Frowning, Cecilia had no choice but to put her plans on hold. She reached out and pushed Nathaniel away.

“Someone’s coming.”

She evaded Nathaniel’s kiss and spoke shyly.

Nathaniel listened to the incessant knocking on the door, his longing unsatisfied.

A minute later, the office door was swung open.

As soon as Stella stepped through the door, she noticed Cecilia’s rosy flush and glinting eyes that she couldn’t hide.

As an adult, Stella immediately discerned what had just transpired between the two.

“What’s the matter?”

Nathaniel’s husky voice brought Stella back to her senses.

She clutched the invitation in her hand tightly, walked up to Nathaniel, and handed it to him.

“Nathaniel, I’m releasing a new song tonight. I hope you can come over. This song was specially written for you.”
