When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Is This What Care Looks Like 

The assistant carefully picked up the phone. “Stella, how did it go?” 

“She wants me to apologize to Vivian and publicly admit to plagiarism.” 

The assistant frowned. “How could she suggest something like that? If you admit to plagiarism, everything 

You’ve worked for will be 

gone. 

Stella decided to ignore Cecille, refusing to believe anyone would waste time, refuse money, and actually pursue an international lawsuit against her. 

Right now, her top priority was handling things with Cecilia and her upcoming marriage to Nathaniel–not just for a single song. 

“Tonight’s the company’s anniversary event; I need to be fully prepared,” she said. “As for the plagiarism issue online, let’s suppress it with money for now.” 

Stella knew her money wouldn’t last forever, but as long as it got her through the wedding, it was worth it. 

At the company, Cecilia soon got a call from Vivian. “Are you coming by today?” Vivian asked. It was the weekend, and she had planned to invite Cecilia and Jonathan for a camping trip. 

Cecilia turned down the offer. “Nathaniel’s keeping a close eye on me. He’s already found out about Elliot. If he discovers Jon’s true identity, it’ll be a disaster.” 

“Let’s meet again in a few days,” she suggested. 

Vivian agreed, finding it reasonable. “All right then, do what you need to do to fall pregnant with his kid, so we can go back to Erihal sooner.” 

“Of course.” Without realizing it, Cecilia rubbed her belly. For some reason, since she’d come back, Nathaniel seemed to be even more vigilant. It felt like getting pregnant this time was going to be a bit more difficult. 

Just then, a knock came at the door. Through the clear glass, she saw Mason standing at the entrance, so she quickly ended her call. 

“Mr. Sanders, is there something you need?” Cecilia asked as Mason walked in. 

“Ms. Smith, Mr. Rainsworth would like to see you in his office.” 

Cecilia hadn’t expected Nathaniel to come to the office today. Although she was reluctant, she had no choice–Elliot was still in his hands. 

“All right.” 

After she agreed, Mason didn’t leave. Instead, he escorted her to the CEO’s office.

Over the years, Mr. Rainsworth has been looking for you. From what I’ve seen, he really does care about you.” 

Cecilia paused for a moment. Mason stopped walking too, watching her as she gave him a faint. smile. “Do you really think this is what care looks like?” 

Mason was caught off guard, confusion spreading across his refined face beneath the gold- rimmed glasses. 

Cecilia spoke again. “Mr. Sanders, do you remember how things used to be? How you treated me back then? I called Nathaniel all the time, but you were usually the one who answered. You’d always tell me he was busy, that he had more important things to do. You even hung up on me quite a few times, didn’t you? And tell me, have you ever once called me ‘Mrs. Rainsworth?” 

Mason, clearly taken aback, soon composed himself and replied seriously, “That was due to my own reasons. It has nothing to do with whether or not Mr. Rainsworth cares about you. 

“Really?” Cecilia shot back. “The way the employer acts influences how the employee behaves. I’m not insulting you; I’m just stating the truth. Back when I was with the Rainsworths, it wasn’t just you–even the cats and dogs they raised give different treatment to different people.” 

Mason’s expression changed rapidly. He couldn’t argue with Cecilia’s words. It was true–if Nathaniel hadn’t been indifferent to Cecilia, how could their subordinates have dared to treat her with disrespect? 

Just like now, he hadn’t even realized that his attitude toward Cecilia had softened considerably compared to before, He could feel it–Nathaniel’s feelings for Cecilia weren’t as simple as they seemed.
