When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 448 First Love

The two of them sat in the car, waiting for nightfall. Their associates would be able to steal the ring in the dark better.

After returning home, Cecilia casually placed the gift bag on the table and headed to Martha’s room to let her take a break.

After the specialist’s treatment, Martha’s spirits had greatly improved. If she could maintain this, she could potentially live for several more years.

They didn’t realize someone had sneaked in.

Before long, the box containing the ring was brought to Nathaniel.

Mason opened the box. Judging by the looks of it, the ring seemed rather inexpensive. “This cheap? There’s no way it could be a gift from Mr. Nicholas, right?”

Nathaniel was skeptical that Nicholas would give such a thing as a gift.

“Is there anything else?”

Upon careful examination, Mason discovered that the inside of the ring was engraved with the letters: CS&NR

“It seems like an abbreviation, CS, NR. Aren’t these the initials of yours and Mrs. Rainsworth’s names? Mr. Rainsworth, could this possibly be a surprise from Mrs. Rainsworth?” Mason asked. with a smile.

“Although it is inexpensive, it is a thoughtful gift. Look at these crooked letters, seems like they were hand–carved… Well, I’ve always said that Mrs. Rainsworth is quite fond of you. She’s just pretending, but she’s always had you in her heart. My girlfriend has never even given me a handmade gift,” Mason rambled on, oblivious to the fact that Nathaniel’s expression had significantly darkened.

Nathaniel didn’t let Mason watch the previous video, hence Mason was unaware that the item was given to Cecilia by Nicholas.

Nathaniel took the ring, pondering for a moment. The only logical explanation was that this ring was once given to Nicholas by Cecilia because Cecilia always thought that Nicholas‘ name was Nathaniel back then.

“Do you want me to help you put it on, Mr. Rainsworth? Mrs. Rainsworth will surely be delighted when she sees it. It will be a pleasant surprise for her…”

“Enough,” Nathaniel sternly interrupted him. “You can leave now.”

Mason was baffled and utterly clueless as to what he had done this time to touch Nathaniel’s sore spot.

“All right.”

He was cager to leave this place and return to the warm embrace of his partner.

After Mason left, Nathaniel tightly clutched the ring, deeply embedding it in his palm.

At that moment, the phone rang. Nathaniel picked it up. It was a call from Nicholas.

“Nathaniel, did you see the gift I gave you? It’s the one Ceci gave me as a proposal ring. We were each other’s first love.”

Nicholas knew Nathaniel very well. He knew that the latter would want to know what was inside the gift bag.

A proposal ring, first love!

All the words were

ng to Nathaniel’s cars. If he could see at that time, he would surely have returned to Tudela to give his younger brother a few punches.

Nicholas didn’t hear a response from Nathaniel, but he knew he must have heard him. He continued, “Nathaniel, didn’t you also have a first love? You wouldn’t mind our past right?”

Could Stella really be considered his first love? They had never even held hands.

“Your tricks won’t work on me. Ceci has already thrown away the ring.”

With that, Nathaniel immediately hung up the phone.

He held the ring, torn between keeping it and throwing it away.

If he discarded it, he was certain Cecilia would be furious. But if he didn’t, he would feel uncomfortable and conflicted.

In the end, Nathaniel recalled the sight of Cecilia shedding tears. He gently placed the ring back into its box, packed it away, and decided to return it later.

When Nathaniel returned, Cecilia happened to be coming down from the stairs.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

When she saw Nathaniel walk in with the gift, the room suddenly fell silent,

Nathaniel froze in his tracks. Overwhelmed with emotions, he had rushed back without a second thought, not anticipating that he would run into Cecilia.
