When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 263 Tired Of Running

All past matters will be considered settled?

Nathaniel picked up the document and carefully flipped through it. Each page was written in a way that suggested there was no longer any connection between them. When he reached the compensation amount, he saw it was a staggering eight billion!

How did she come up with that much money?

Nathaniel had already investigated Cecilia’s company long ago. The most they had in liquid assets was a few hundred million. Even if the company was sold, it wouldn’t raise that much.

With a cold chuckle, Nathaniel tossed the document into the trash bin. “Why are you so sure I’ll sign this?”

“My client stated that if you’re unwilling to sign, it means you don’t care about the money, and all past matters will be considered resolved,” Norman replied in a low voice. “I hope you won’t use this as a way to manipulate Cecilia in the future. Remember, it’s you who didn’t want it, not her who didn’t return it.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Norman, who had watched Cecilia grow up, had always wanted to stand up for her. He had expected to be thrown out, but surprisingly, Nathaniel didn’t say a word. He simply said, “Don’t worry, I won’t bring this up again.”

Norman was a bit bewildered..

Nathaniel was painfully aware of just how determined Cecilia was. She was willing to pay such an exorbitant price just to avoid any further entanglement with him.

After Norman left, Nathaniel turned to Mason. “What would you do if someone who adored you changed their heart?”

Mason, thinking of his girlfriend, replied, “If she ever fell for another man, I’d make her regret it.”

Yes! Regret!

Nathaniel pinched the bridge of his nose. “Let’s go, to the airport.”

He was determined to find Cecilia.

Mason knew there was no point in trying to dissuade him, so he didn’t. He simply followed along.

At Moontown, after taking a day off, Vivian was ready to leave. During their goodbye, Cecilia alone escorted her to the airport, waving her off.

On her way back, Cecilia received a call from Calvin. “Ceci, you need to move. Nathaniel will be arriving soon.”

Cecilia froze. She had assumed it would take Nathaniel months, if not longer, to find her. Yet here he was closing in “Calvin, can you take Martha and the kids away first?”

Calvin was puzzled. “You’re not leaving?”

“I’m tired of running,” Cecilia said, her voice hoarse against the sea breeze. “The world is only so big. If Nathaniel never stops, he’ll find us sooner or later.”

For years, Nathaniel had never stopped searching for her. Every time he got close, they had to move again. It was exhausting.

“I want to make it clear to him–there’s no future for us,” Cecilia declared.

Calvin was silent for a moment. “I’ll be there right away. If he tries to force you, I’ll make him disappear!”

Before Cecilia could respond, Calvin had already hung up.

This wasn’t Tudela–Nathaniel couldn’t have his way here.

An hour later, Martha and the children were about to leave. Both Elliot and Jonathan were used to moving from one place to another, so they didn’t question it. But Martha’s health was deteriorating, and it was uncertain how much longer she could keep going.

Cecilia hugged Martha tightly. “You’ve been through so much.”

Martha chuckled. “Silly child, I’m getting older, but being with you all is never tiring.” She turned and got into the car.

Cecilia watched them leave, feeling a deep sense of desolation as she stood alone in the house she had just settled into.

Nightfall came. Cecilia wrapped herself in a blanket and sat on the couch. Suddenly, with a loud. “bang,” the door was kicked open.

When she looked up, she saw Nathaniel standing outside, flanked by a line of bodyguards.
