When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 160 Picking Calvin Up

Everyone couldn’t help but be surprised.

In the past, Nathaniel had never once left a meeting halfway through.

Under everyone’s pleading gazes, Mason reluctantly followed them out.

“Mr. Rainsworth?”

Nathaniel signaled him to keep quiet, then picked up his phone, ready to dial Cecilia’s number.

Yet, when it came time to make the call, he hesitated.

If I call her like this, she would surely think that I care about her more than I should. Never mind, then.

Nathaniel then turned off his phone.

He couldn’t find peace of mind all day today.

As nightfall approached, Nathaniel had yet to eat dinner. Instead, he instructed his driver to head

back home.

He pushed open the door, only to be greeted by an eerie silence that filled the living room. Darkness immediately engulfed him, seeping into every inch of his being.

Nathaniel was lying on the sofa in the dark, consumed by his gloom.

Every now and then, he would unlock his phone, unsure of what he was anticipating.

As time ticked away, he sat in the living room, losing track of how long it had been, when. suddenly his phone lit up.

Nathaniel picked up his phone and glanced at it, seeing a message from his bodyguard that read: Ms. Smith has left, seemingly heading in the direction of the airport.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Subconsciously, he felt as though Cecilia was about to run away.

The thought of her vanishing for four to five years without a trace overwhelmed him. Nathaniel left his coat behind, grabbed his car keys, and headed out the door.

Seated in the car, he floored the gas pedal all the way throughout the journey.

He called the butler of Spring Forest Manor and asked, “Could you check if the child is still there?”

The butler had already retired for the night, but upon hearing the command, he had no choice. but to rouse himself and head to Elliot’s room.

Elliot was lying quietly on the bed.

“The child is still there.”

Nathaniel’s tense heart relaxed slightly.

Given that Elliot was still there, he was certain that Cecilia wouldn’t run away.

Security was tight at Spring Forest Manor, making it impossible for just anyone to take the child away.

Just to be on the safe side, Nathaniel warned. “Be careful tonight

The butler had no time to rest as he had all the security systems within the estate activated.

Nathaniel quickly arrived at the location his bodyguard had sent him.

From a distance, he saw Cecilia stepping out of a car and entering the airport.

“I’ll have a few more men-”

Before Calvin could finish his sentence, Cecilia had already rejected him by saying. “No need; this is too restrictive.”

Cecilia felt uneasy as she eyed the row of bodyguards behind Calvin.

“All right, then. I’ve returned anyway,” said Calvin with a smile.

“Let’s go. Vivian and Jon can’t wait to see you. You wouldn’t believe it, but when I was leaving, they were dead tired. Still, they insisted on staying awake just to see you before they go to sleep.”

Cecilia and Calvin walked together, sharing stories and laughter along the way.

Nathaniel observed all of this, his expression gloomy.

So, she didn’t come home tonight because she went to meet Calvin?
