When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 1298

Chapter 1298 Not In The Mood For Mercy 

The man, who had been full of bravado moments earlier, suddenly fell silent, his arrogance gone. His wife, who had already been irritated with him, saw this as the perfect moment to twist the knife. 

“Did you hear that?” she asked bitterly. “That’s what a responsible man looks like. The CEO of a major company is here with his wife for a check–up. What about you?” 

The man, now thoroughly embarrassed, lowered his head, hiding from his phone. 

Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Cecilia found the whole situation amusing. Who would’ve thought Nathaniel would be mistaken for a toy boy? 

As they got into the car, she gave him a teasing look. With that face, he does have the potential to be a toy boy. 

Nathaniel’s expression darkened slightly. “Do I really look like someone who lives off others?” 

Cecilia laughed softly. “Of course not.” 

“Then why did you laugh just now?” 

Throughout his life, there were few who had ever dared to suggest that Nathaniel was a freeloader, and it clearly rubbed him the wrong way. 

Cecilia pressed her lips together, trying to stop herself from laughing again. “Is this better?” 

Nathaniel relaxed, his stern features softening as he glanced over at her. “Never mind. You should smile more–it suits you.” 

It had been so long since he’d seen her this lighthearted, and he wasn’t about to spoil the moment. Cecilia’s smile, however, quickly faded as she leaned her head on his shoulder. 

“I’m not in the mood to smile anymore,” she said, closing her eyes. 

Nathaniel gently pulled her closer, and she didn’t resist. She settled comfortably against him, dozing off for a brief nap as they drove. 

When they arrived at the company, Nathaniel was ready to follow her inside, but Cecilia stopped him firmly. 

Reluctantly, Nathaniel stayed behind, watching as she made her way into the office alone, Inside, Charlotte and the others quickly gathered around her, curious and concerned. 

“I’m fine,” Cecilia reassured them. “I just fainted because of a little oxygen deprivation. Nothing serious.” 

Charlotte frowned in confusion. “Why would there suddenly be a lack of oxygen?” 

Cecilia’s face flushed. How could she possibly explain what had actually happened? 

After a brief, awkward silence, Lucille stepped forward, offering a plausible explanation. “Maybe the office is too stuffy? Poor air circulation could cause that.” 

Grateful for the save, Cecilia quickly nodded. “Right. That’s probably it.”

it doesn’t happen again,” Charlotte said, taking the initiative. 

Cecilia found it hard to refuse, so she smiled and nodded. “Thanks, I appreciate that.” 

Charlotte immediately arranged for someone to handle it. 

With most of Evans Group’s business handled, Cecilia felt it was time to head home and rest. 

While Cecilia was resting, Ralph and Cassandra were facing their own troubles.

Cassandra, pale but defiant, tried to maintain her composure. “Mason, you know who backs me, right? Even Nathaniel has to give some respect to my mother Queenie. What do you think you’re doing. cornering my father and me like this?” 

Several hours had passed since they were cornered, yet Mason showed no sign of letting them go. At Cassandra’s words, Mason let out a cold laugh.
