When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412 Invitation To The Engagement Party
At the Orion Corporation, Nicholas had just instructed someone to escort Cassandra away. His assistant, Jocelyn, approached him with a displeased expression.

“Mr. Nicholas, are you really going to get engaged to her?” Jocelyn asked, her concern evident.

Jocelyn knew that despite Cassandra's impressive resume, her overly arrogant and opportunistic nature made her unsuitable for Nicholas.

Nicholas took a sip of warm water, his gentle eyes revealing no hint of his true emotions. “I'm at that age now; it's time for me to get married.”

At his age, some people already had children attending preschool.

“But getting married just for the sake of it... that's just too—”

Before she could finish, Nicholas interrupted her, “Get back to work.”

Seeing that he was in no mood to discuss it further, Jocelyn could only leave, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

The engagement invitations were sent out swiftly, and naturally, one was also delivered to Nathaniel.

When Nathaniel received the invitation, he was in the middle of work. Mason informed him of Nicholas's engagement to Cassandra, and Nathaniel leaned back in his chair, falling silent.

“Should we consider declining it?” Mason suggested cautiously, sensing that Nathaniel didn't particularly care for his younger brother.

“No, I'll attend,” Nathaniel replied, his tone neutral.

Nathaniel still remembered the incident a few days ago when Cecilia had mistakenly called him by Nicholas' name. He was curious to see how Cecilia would react to Nicholas's engagement this time.

When Nathaniel returned home, he handed the invitation to Cecilia. “This is an invitation for Nicholas and Cassandra's engagement party. He is my younger brother, after all, and I've agreed to attend.”

Cecilia hadn't expected the news, and for reasons she couldn't quite explain, it felt like a stone had been thrown into the depths of her heart. It wasn't that she felt sorrow, but it was all so sudden.

“Why are you giving it to me?” she asked.

“We're married, so naturally, you should attend with me,” Nathaniel explained.

Cecilia wanted to discreetly ask Martha what was going on. Martha allowed her to guide her back. Once they reached the room, Cecilia immediately shut the door behind them.

“Why did you suddenly start defending Nathaniel?” Cecilia asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

Martha feigned surprise. “I wasn't defending him, just reminding you of proper etiquette. Even though we may not be as wealthy as the Rainsworth family, we shouldn't forget our manners.”

“Is that really all there is to it?” Cecilia asked, somewhat incredulous.

“Of course,” Martha replied, her face serious.

Cecilia decided not to press further. She took Martha's wrinkled hand in hers. “In a couple of days, I've arranged for a foreign specialist to examine you. I've heard that anyone treated by him can live to be a hundred years old.”

Ever since she returned, Cecilia had been incredibly busy, juggling multiple tasks while discreetly arranging for specialists in geriatric care to visit.

No matter what, she didn't want to lose Martha. This time, she had finally managed to invite a renowned team of experts from abroad.
