When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 244 Piled High With Gifts

It wasn’t just Vivian’s private residence under investigation, a large group of people were also scrutinizing Hillscester.

Fortunately, Jonathan was taken by Zachary, because back at Vivian’s villa, all the servants were secretly being taken away for questioning one by one.

Nathaniel’s profound gaze was fixed on Cecilia. “How many more days?”

Cecilia paused for a moment, then quickly understood what he meant.

“Ten days.”

To be precise, excluding today, she would be leaving in three days.

“I’ve arranged for tickets to Tidgate, we’re leaving tonight,” Nathaniel stated.

Surprise filled Cecilia’s eyes. “Now? Then when will we return?”

She had assumed that Nathaniel had already given up on the idea of being a real married couple.

“The day after tomorrow.”

Nathaniel had dug out the travel plans Cecilia made in the past. She had planned for them to take in the exotic night view in Tidgate, then the next day, visit the places that her favorite comic artist had depicted in his works.

“All right.”

Returning the day after tomorrow, just in time.

“I’ll go pack up.”

“No need, they have everything over there.”

“Okay.”

Cecilia had originally intended to give Calvin a heads–up, but it seemed like it would have to wait. until they were in Tidgate.

Half an hour later, they boarded a private jet.

Cecilia sat next to Nathaniel, gazing out the window at the flickering lights..

The flight lasted over three hours. Perhaps due to her pregnancy, she found herself drifting off to sleep, succumbing to her fatigue.

Nathaniel had consumed copious amounts of alcohol the previous night, resulting in a restless sleep. Consequently, he hadn’t been able to rest at all that day.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He observed Cecilia in deep slumber, his gaze lingering on her serene face.

When Mason came over to deliver the blanket, he saw the scene unfolding.

Nathaniel quickly averted his gaze, picked up the blanket and draped it over Cecilia. Subsequently, he and Mason retired to another cabin to rest.

“Is everything ready at the hotel?” Nathaniel asked, his voice heavy.

“Everything is set.”

Mason couldn’t help but add, “Mr. Rainsworth, ten days from now, if Ms. Smith still wants to leave, will you really agree to it?”

Nathaniel arched his brows.

“Of course, it’s not like I can’t live without her.”

“So, what’s going on with you now…

“Just like her, I’m not willing to accept it,” Nathaniel paused, “And I want to see what she’s really after, how long she can keep up the act.”

Mason noted that even at this point, his boss still wouldn’t admit to falling for Cecilia.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see it at a glance…

If he didn’t have feelings for her, then why would he suggest they become a real married couple? Wasn’t it just an excuse to win over Cecilia?

Mason didn’t want to expose him, so he simply said, “Mr. Rainsworth, Ms. Smith herself isn’t worthy of you. You really don’t need to waste your energy on her.”

“You talk too much,” Nathaniel said, his face turning cold.

“I’m sorry.” Mason quickly apologized.

Three hours later, the plane touched down.

When Cecilia awoke, she still felt somewhat dazed. Lately, it seemed like no matter how much she slept, she never felt fully rested.

She disembarked the plane with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel had asked everyone following them to leave, leaving just the two of them strolling through the streets of Tidgate.

Cecilia was somewhat nonchalant, she was no longer the young girl who had just married him, yearning for romantic adventures. Now, all she wanted was to live her days in peace and tranquility.

It was also a hotel she had once booked.

ther.

When Cecilia pushed open the door, the room was filled with fresh flowers and piled high with gift boxes.

Before arriving, Nathaniel had already taken an allergy prevention pill.

“What is this for?” Cecilia turned to look at Nathaniel, seeking an explanation.

“Gifts,” Nathaniel replied tersely.

Cecilia casually picked up a gift box and opened it. Inside was a custom necklace from a brand she used to adore.

She realized belatedly. “Did you sneak a peek at my old diary?”

“I thought it was just a note, so I took a glance.” Nathaniel evaded her

Cecilia was increasingly unable to understand him gaze.

She put the items back. “I don’t need these, you should return them all.”

If one were to claim that all the gifts in this room were the ones listed on her so–called sticky notes, their worth could probably rival that of several villas.
