When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 691 Never Happened Before

“Cecilia, you’ve received it, haven’t you? I applied for it last night, so it should have arrived by now,” Magnus queried.

Cecilia looked at the new funds in her account. “Yes, I received it.”

“That’s good. If you ever need help with anything in the future, just let me know,” Magnus said, appearing exceptionally mature and responsible. “After all, I’m your younger brother. Blood is thicker than water, right?”

That was something that had never happened to Cecilia in the past.

She was somewhat taken aback and puzzled. Has Magnus really changed? Has he become more understanding?

No one craved familial bonds more than she did. She and Magnus shared the same parents, making them full siblings. If Magnus was willing to change, she would consider accepting him as her brother once again.

“I hope you truly have changed.” Cecilia ended the call.

Naturally, she couldn’t easily forgive Magnus at the moment. After all, Magnus had once tried to sell her off to an older man for money.

As she was lost in her thoughts, Nathaniel walked in. Unnoticed by her, he set down a stack of pastries.

When Cecilia regained her senses, she looked at Nathaniel and then at the pastries on the table, all of which were her favorites.

However, that shop only made a small amount each day and didn’t accept reservations. One had to line up quite early to be able to make a purchase.

“Did you buy this?” asked Cecilia.

“My subordinates made the purchase,” Nathaniel honestly said.

He wasn’t without money. With his wealth, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t buy.

He only needed to send someone over early and had them wait to purchase those pastries quickly.

Upon hearing that, Cecilia lightly capped her own head. “I must be going foolish from pregnan asking such silly questions.”

From her words, Nathaniel discerned implications that Cecilia had never considered before.

He initially thought that Cecilia felt it was insincere he had others bought that for her

In reality, Cecilia was simply expressing her own foolishness. She was well aware that Nathaniel was wealthy and didn’t need to queue up to buy things, yet she still asked that question.

He was about to say that he would personally go buy it next time. However, before the words. could leave his lips, Cecilia looked at him with unshed tears and asked. “Nathaniel, do you believe people can truly change?”

A sharp pang clutched at the depths of Nathaniel’s heart. “Of course I do.”

He heard a rasp in Cecilia’s voice, thinking she was once again lost in memories of the past. In response, he leaned down and embraced her.

The entire overcoat shielded her, making her feel exceptionally warm.

“Why are you lost in thought again? Did someone say something to you?” Nathaniel’s heart sank at the thought.

Cecilia, unaware of his misunderstanding, nodded and replied, “Mhm.”

A cold look flashed across Nathaniel’s eyes. Who’s the fool who did this?

He held Cecilia tightly. “I’ve told you before that what happened in the past won’t happen again.”

He was unsure how to explain his past indifference toward Cecilia or how to make amends to her so as to fully heal her wounds.

He wanted to demonstrate his repentance through his actions!

It seems the plan to acquire Evans Group needs to be expedited! With those thoughts, Nathaniel gently pressed his thin lips against Cecilia’s forehead.

Cecilia thought it was a bit odd he mentioned that things from the past wouldn’t happen again. Did he know Magnus had called me earlier and that Magnus had changed? That shouldn’t be.

Just as Cecilia was about to question Nathaniel, his cell phone rang.

Nathaniel had no choice but to step out to answer the phone.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The call came from Mason. “Boss, I’m not sure where Ralph has been getting his money lately, but they’re funded again.”

Originally, Nathaniel had planned to cut off all of Ralph’s avenues of escape before taking over his company.

“Was his funding provided by Queenie or Nicholas?” asked Nathaniel.

“It wasn’t either, Mason replied.

On Queenie’s and Nicholas‘ end, Mason had people keeping an eye on them, but there was no ign of Ralph contacting the two.

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes alightly. “Forget about the other companies for now and focus solely

Though he didn’t understand why, Mason trusted that there would be no mistake in any instruction given by Nathaniel. “Understood.”

“Also, investigate who Cecilia met today and who she’s been in contact with.” Nathaniel wanted to know who had been bad–mouthing him behind his back.
