When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1577 Calm Down

Earlier this afternoon, Darren had already told Nathaniel about his situation.

Nathaniel spoke slowly. "I'm not that free."

"So what is this about?"

"Robert and the others have been unusually quiet lately. Make sure to keep a close watch on them."

The calm before the storm was always the most unsettling.

Darren immediately straightened up. "Okay, got it."

Before hanging up, Nathaniel couldn't help but ask, "What's going on between you and Madeline? Are you really getting a divorce?"

"Impossible. I won't divorce her. We already have a child together, and we're not kids anymore," Darren said firmly.

"Good. Then talk things through with her properly. The longer you drag this out, the worse it gets."

Nathaniel spoke from experience.

Darren fell silent for a moment before replying, "I'm still a bit angry. She actually wants to sue me. Let me calm down first."

After their conversation, Nathaniel relayed everything to Cecilia.

Hearing this, Cecilia realized it was best not to interfere.

Neither Darren nor Madeline had done anything fundamentally wrong.

Taking a side outright wouldn't be fair.

"Ah, relationships are so hard to make sense of."

Nathaniel gazed deeply at her. Almost involuntarily, he asked, "Then what do you think about us?"

Cecilia froze, looking up at him, completely at a loss for words.

"What's wrong with us?" she finally asked.

Nathaniel's expression stiffened for a moment but quickly returned to normal. "Nothing."noveldrama

He had hoped for some kind of different response from her, but it seemed like waiting for her to regain her memories was still the best option. That way, he wouldn't hurt himself any further. "The day after tomorrow is Mason's wedding. You're going to help out tomorrow, right?" Nathaniel changed the subject.

Cecilia's face lit up with anticipation,

and she nodded enthusiastically

Lucy asked me and Charlotte

her bridesmaids."

Madeline had originally been among them, but given her current troubles, Lucille decided not to ask her again. "That's nice," Nathaniel remarked.

Cecilia looked at him and suggested, "Why don't you be a groomsman? If you did, Mason would be thrilled."

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow slightly.

"He wouldn't," he replied.

"Why not?" Cecilia asked, puzzled.

""He's afraid I'll outshine him."

Cecilia was speechless.

She thought Nathaniel was joking and didn't press further.

Little did she know, Mason really was worried about being upstaged by his boss.. He even explained it to Nathaniel directly. "Mr. Rainsworth, I won't ask you to be my groomsman task for my wedding. If you're standing next to me, my big moment will be completely overshadowed."

Nathaniel, of course, didn't mind such things.

That evening, Cecilia went to bed early. She had to accompany Lucille tomorrow to get their makeup done and rehearse for the ceremony.

Weddings these days were such a hassle. Even the bride and groom had to rehearse in advance.

Cecilia had always thought weddings were more impromptu. She didn't realize how meticulously planned they were.

When Nathaniel saw the lights in Cecilia's room go out, he stood alone on the balcony, lighting a cigarette.

By now, he deeply understood the pain Cecilia had once endured, loving someone who didn't love her back.

He took several sharp inhales, which led to a violent bout of coughing.

"Ceci, when will you remember me?"

Nathaniel hated himself for not protecting Cecilia better. Now, he was the one suffering.

Mason's wedding was a grand affair.

For one, Mason had met a lot of

people over the years while working with Neel. For another, many saw the event as an opportunity to connect with Nathaniel.
