When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421 The DNA Test Results
Nicholas never anticipated that his brother would care so deeply about Cecilia, going to such lengths to locate her. Yet, the world was vast, and Nicholas had meticulously severed all of Cecilia's ties to the outside world. It seemed unlikely—almost impossible—that Nathaniel would ever find her in this lifetime.

“Let him be,” Nicholas said.

Stella stood motionless. “What about the matter you promised me?” she asked cautiously.

“Why the rush?” Nicholas replied coolly. “The situation hasn't been resolved yet.”

Now aligned with Nicholas, Stella had no choice but to follow his every command. She lowered her head submissively. “You're right. I was wrong.”

Nicholas said, “All that remains is the grand finale—making sure Nathaniel believes Cecilia is truly gone.”

Stella couldn't help but think Nicholas was utterly insane, going to such lengths for just one woman.

“All right. I'll make the arrangements.” Despite so, she kept her thoughts to herself.

Nicholas hummed in response.

After Stella left, he put on his coat and headed out to work.

When Nicholas arrived at the company, Jocelyn greeted him with a look of concern. “Mr. Nicholas, you've been looking rather pale lately. Would you like me to call a doctor?”

Nicholas shook his head. “No need, Jocelyn. I've been quite happy lately—nothing's wrong. You're just overthinking it.”

Hearing his response, Jocelyn hesitated but ultimately decided against pressing the matter further.

She approached with a stack of documents for him to sign. “If I may ask, where have you been these past few days?” she inquired cautiously.

Nicholas had been out frequently; no one knew where he had been.

His hand froze mid-signature, and his gaze hardened. “If you already know you shouldn't ask, then don't,” he replied icily.

Jocelyn was taken aback; it was rare for Nicholas to speak to her in such a harsh tone. After a moment of stunned silence, she finally managed to say, “I'm sorry. I overstepped my bounds.”
