When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 521 Remove The Trending Topic

Nathaniel spoke up. “I’ve had the trending topic removed from the internet. It won’t show upt again.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Despite that, Cecilia’s mood remained complicated.

“Okay.”

Nathaniel had initially wanted to explain that nothing had happened between him and Stella, but he was pretending to have amnesia.

He couldn’t see Cecilia’s expression at that moment and didn’t know if she was still angry.

He reached out his hand, but Cecilia instinctively dodged.

For some reason, it bothered her when she saw the photo of him and Stella lying in the same bed.

Nathaniel’s hand froze mid–air.

“I don’t really want any physical contact with you right now. Sorry,” Cecilia said, taking another step back.

Over the years, she had never had physical contact with any other man, so naturally, she was sensitive to Nathaniel’s impurity.

Nathaniel and Stella’s relationship hadn’t even lasted a year. She had thought the most they had done was kiss.

Nathaniel’s heart suddenly clenched.

What did she mean by not wanting physical contact with me? I didn’t mind that she had children with another man. Yet now she is disgusted by my past with Stella?

Nathaniel lowered his hand, frowning slightly.

“Ceci, I never once judged you for your past.

Cecilia was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant. Her expression turned cold.

“My past? You mean my two children? You’re free to look down on me, but don’t expect me to be as magnanimous as you.”

She felt like Nathaniel hadn’t figured out who he was supposed to be.

Nathaniel got the message loud and clear.

He chuckled coldly, his handsome face suddenly darkened by a layer of frost.

“So, what do you want me to do?”

Cecilia sensed something was off in his tone but didn’t dwell on it. “Let’s just keep our distance for now. That’s enough.”

Keep our distance!

Nathaniel’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. Though he didn’t want to agree, he feared that Cecilia would get angry. “Fine.”

Cecilia was about to say something else when they heard a knock at the door. It was Elliot. “Mommy, there’s a guest.”

Who would come at this hour?

Cecilia assumed it was someone from the Rainsworth family, but when she went out, the housekeeper said it was Zachary and his fiancée.

Zachary and Vivian?

Cecilia quickly went to the nursery to tell Elliot not to come out.

If Zachary saw Elliot, he’d definitely be shocked.

“Why can’t I come out?” Elliot asked, his big eyes full of confusion.

“Well, the adults are going to talk. If you go out, you might disturb them,” Cecilia gently explained.

Actually, Elliot knew what was going on. He nodded. “Okay, I won’t come out. Mommy, I’ll only come out when you tell me to.”

“Good boy,” Cecilia said, her eyes filled with tenderness.

When she went outside, the housekeeper had already ushered Zachary and Vivian in.

Zachary glanced around, feeling odd that he didn’t see any child.

“Nathaniel, Cecilia,” he greeted them.

Vivian never liked Nathaniel and naturally didn’t bother greeting him.

She walked straight up to Cecilia. “Ceci.”

“Mm.” Cecilia nodded.

The atmosphere in the room was strangely tense.

Vivian suggested, “Shall we talk outside?”

“Sure.”

Cecilia knew Vivian wanted to talk privately, so she followed her out.

As the two women left, Zachary felt more at ease and slumped onto the couch.

“Nathaniel, where’s the kid? Let me see him. I brought a gift for him.”

Zachary was curious about what Nathaniel’s son looked like.

He couldn’t possibly be as extraordinary as Jonathan.
