When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 335 Set Her Free

Nathaniel stood by the door, listening to the conversation outside. His expression remained unchanged, but his ears were flushed red.

“They’re asking you,” said Nathaniel to his bodyguards.

The bodyguards shook their heads immediately.

The aunties soon started introducing potential girlfriends to them.

Martha lived in a remote area of Sparaville. The people here had heard that Cecilia was originally Nathaniel’s wife. However, something happened later on and she was rumored to have passed away.

They only realized that it was a misunderstanding later on.

They didn’t look for Martha due to an incident five years ago. Nathaniel, along with a group of people, had taken away several neighbors for questioning.

For a moment, everyone thought that Martha had offended someone of great importance. Hence, after returning, they dared not approach Martha.

Back then, when Nathaniel asked them about Cecilia and Martha’s whereabouts, they didn’t dare to raise their heads. Thus, they didn’t recognize Nathaniel.

Today, everyone couldn’t help but steal glances at Martha and Cecilia’s blind husband.

At first, they felt pity for Cecilia due to her blind husband. However, after they saw what Nathaniel looked like, their admiration for Cecilia began to surface. She had chosen such a handsome husband. His blindness was a blessing in disguise, as it meant he wouldn’t be tempted to cheat.

After that commotion, Nathaniel and Martha returned to the room.

Nathaniel was still recalling how Martha had just referred to him as her son–in–law. His ears were still red.

Martha had never imagined that a dignified business tycoon would be bullied by a shrewish woman.

However, Martha didn’t know that if it hadn’t been for her, that woman would have faced her end there and then.

“I’ve already sent someone to hire a new caregiver,” said Nathaniel solemnly.

“Okay.”

Having just lost her temper, Martha didn’t have much energy left.

Suppressing her soreness, she said to Nathaniel, “Don’t think that I’ve forgiven you because I helped you just now. After all, you’re still Ceci’s husband. I just can’t stand to see outsiders bully you.”

Forgive me…

Nathaniel grasped the crux of her words.

After all, Mason was his employee. While Mason told Nathaniel his history with Cecilia, Mason glossed over Nathaniel’s mistakes.

Thus, Nathaniel had no idea about what he had done to Cecilia in the past.

Mason told him about how he tried to win Cecilia over, including buying the Smith residence and the late Regas‘ belongings. He even rebuilt Smith Corporation’s building.

“Martha, may I ask you, why do you dislike me so much? What exactly did I do in the past?”

Upon hearing his question, Martha could no longer keep silent about how he had neglected. Cecilia in the past.

“Do you know? Back then, Ceci didn’t know what Paula and Magnus had done. She was constantly burdened with the reputation of a fraudulent marriage, allowing you all to bully her while she suffered in silence. I still remember how she swallowed an entire bottle of pills, all in an attempt. to sever her relationship with Paula. However, you thought she was marrying an old geezer just for the sake of three billion.

She continued, “The doctor said that there’s no such thing as a painless death. It’s ironic how. Cecilia, who is so afraid of pain ended up walking down that path.”

Nathaniel never imagined that his memories had been romanticized by his mine.

He only remembered how much he loved her in their youth, but he couldn’t recall how he treated her back then.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, he was gripped by a searing headache. It felt as though fragments of memories were threatening to burst forth at any moment.

Unaware of his odd behavior, Martha kept on speaking.

“I lived here all by myself. Every time Ceci came to visit, she would always talk about how wonderful you are. But both of us knew that you were far from wonderful. You weren’t suitable for Ceci at all.”

Cloudy–eyed, Martha looked at Nathaniel. “Now, you know everything. I’m an old woman on the verge of dying, so I have no reason to deceive you. Please, set Ceci free. Calvin is a good man. When we were abroad, he took great care of us. If Ceci marries him, she’d certainly lead a blissful life.”
