NovelEnglishChapter 407 A Part Of The Past
Magnus was taken aback, unsure why Zachary, who once hated Cecilia so much, was suddenly speaking up for
her.
But he was quick to process the situation and immediately said, “Yes, | understand. She's my sister. I'll surely
treat her with respect.”
Zachary then stood up, asking, “What did you mean earlier when you said that Nicholas would help you as long
as Cecilia meets him?”
Scared of Zachary, Magnus relayed Nicholas’ words exactly as he said them when they met a few days ago.
After hearing everything, Zachary was somewhat perplexed.
“Does Nicholas know Cecilia?”
guess so. Otherwise, why would he say that?” Magnus wasn’t quite sure either.
There was a twhen the Smith family and the Rainsworth family had exchanges.
Magnus still remembered how Cecilia used to secretly penned love letters to Nathaniel in her room, but he had
them torn up after discovering them.

Zachary felt as if he had unintentionally stumbled upon searth-shattering revelation.
He was about to ask something else when a person approached from nearby.
“Zach, what are you doing here?” It was none other than Darren.
Upon seeing him, Zachary immediately warned Magnus, “Don’t dare speak of today’s events to anyone, or I'll rip
your tongue out! Get lost!”
Magnus scrambled away in a hasty retreat.
Darren, dressed in his impeccable suit, had already made his way to Zachary’s side. “Why have you been
avoiding Elite Club and coming to Royale Club instead lately?”
Elite Club and Royale Club were nightclubs in Tudela, both of which were owned by Darren.
“I just happened to be here. Darren, why are you still working at this hour instead of going hto spend time
with your wife?”
Worried that Darren might ask about Magnus, Zachary quickly changed the subject.
Although he had a decent relationship with Darren and Nathaniel over the years, he had never truly understood
Darren. He felt that the latter was too contemplative.
He figured it was better if Darren didn’t know about those matters.
“I'm heading back now. She’s been quite moody lately due to her pregnancy,” said Darren casually. He cast a
glance at Magnus’ retreating figure before getting into his car.
As the car drove away, he picked up his phone and called back home. His voice was gentle as he said, “Now that
you're pregnant, try to behave. You wouldn't wantto send you back to Elite Club, would you?”
After Darren left, Zachary made sure to inform Nathaniel about the day’s events.
Nathaniel had already returned home. Upon hearing what Zachary said, he leaned back in hist chair, his eyes
glinting with a cold resolve.
After dinner, Cecilia clutched her belly and went for a stroll outside to aid digestion.
Listening to the footsteps and humming outside, Nathaniel grabbed a coat and stepped out..
“Why are you here?” Cecilia was somewhat surprised to see him cout.
Guided by the sounds, Nathaniel made his way to her. He gently draped the coat over her shoulders.

“It’s too chilly out here. Don’t catch a cold.”
“It’s fine.” Cecilia waved her hand dismissively.
She had been in a sour mood because of Magnus’ matters, so she wanted to alleviate her mood.
“Then I'll walk with you.”
Nathaniel grasped her hand, which felt icy cold.
He couldn’t help but frown. “Why are your hands so cold?”
Cecilia was about to pull her hand away, but he said, “Hold on to me. | can’t see.”
Left with no other choice, she allowed him to hold her hand. It was the first tthey walked hand in hand like
this.
“Is everything okay at htoday?” Nathaniel tentatively asked,
Perhaps because there was no one else to talk to, Cecilia, under the assumption that Nathaniel was suffering
from amnesia, revealed to him that Magnus told her that Paula had been with another man a long tago.
However, she didn’t mention Nicholas, because, to her, he was nothing more than a misunderstanding and was «
long a part of the past.
