Chapter 1757 Love Cannot Be Forced
Years ago, Nicholas had been the target of an assassination attempt.
Without hesitation, Cecilia had shielded him, taking the hit in his place. The scar on her back was proof of that moment—one she had carried with her ever since.
For the longest time, she had believed it was Nathaniel she had saved, convinced that he was the one indebted to her.
Nicholas swallowed, but the bitterness in his throat refused to fade.
“How could you give me psychological medication?” Cecilia demanded, her voice laced with disbelief.
Even now, she struggled to comprehend it. The person who had once been kind and outstanding in their youth had somehow twisted into someone paranoid and obsessive.
Across from her, Nicholas took a slow sip of his coffee, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the mug.
“I had no other choice. All I wanted was for us to start over.” As the words left his lips, he lifted his gaze to meet hers. “The truth is... you've already moved on, haven't you? You've been in love with Nathaniel all along.”
Cecilia's brows knitted together in confusion.
Nicholas pressed on. “You don't even remember Nathaniel, yet you still didn't want to be with me during the year we spent together. Why? Wasn't it because you had already fallen for him?”
That year abroad with Cecilia still haunted him. No matter how much time they had spent together, no matter how close they had been, she would always instinctively shy away from his touch—like a reflex she couldn't control.
Nicholas's gaze flickered to Cecilia's abdomen. “How many months along?”
<i>How many months?</i>
Cecilia frowned, caught off guard. “What do you mean?”
“How far along are you? Didn't you and Vivian go for a check-up recently?”
Realization dawned on Cecilia—he had completely misunderstood. He thought she was pregnant when, in reality, it was Vivian.
Before she could correct him, Nicholas' expression darkened. His voice dripped with sarcasm as he said, “You've really let me down. You claim not to remember Nathaniel, yet you're carrying his child? Tell me, did he force you, or was it your choice?”
This wasn't the Nicholas she had once known. The warmth, the gentlemanly demeanor—all of it was gone. What remained was a man whose words cut like a blade, sharp and bitter.
