Chapter 420 | Thought He Changed

Cecilia couldn't be bothered to argue further. Annoyed, she yanked the blanket around herself, leaving Nathaniel

to lie quietly beside her.

“If you're going to stay here, then just sleep like this,” she grumbled.

After turning off the light, it didn’t take long for Cecilia to fall asleep, her exhaustion finally catching up with her.

Nathaniel, however, remained awake, listening to her even breathing. Gently, he pulled her closer into his arms,

savoring the warmth of her presence.

The next morning, when Cecilia woke up, she found herself nestled against Nathaniel’s firm chest. She slowly

opened her eyes, and as she tilted her head back, she found herself staring directly into Nathaniel’s handsome

face.

Panicked, Cecilia quickly extricated herself from his embrace, careful not to wake him. She immediately threw on

her coat and hurried out of bed.

As soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw that Martha was already awake, sitting in the living room.

Martha noticed her and smiled kindly. “Chere, Ceci,” she called out, “I'd like to have a word with you.”

Cecilia felt a bit embarrassed, certain that Martha had mrstood the situation. Nevertheless, she followed Martha

to her room, ready to explain herself. Once they were seated, Cecilia quickly said, “He was the one who insisted

on staying last night. We didn’t... do anything.”

Martha chuckled softly. “Ceci, there’s no need to explain anything to me, this old woman,” she said gently. “I just

want you to know that whatever decision you make, | will always stand by your side.

Cecilia nodded, grateful for Martha's understanding.

Martha hesitated for a moment before adding, “I’ve noticed that Nathaniel has truly changed. It wouldn't be a

bad idea for you to be with him. The older generation always says that it’s best for couples to stay together,

especially when you have a child.”

Cecilia listened in silence, unsure of how to respond. Finally, she simply said, “I'll think about it. Don’t worry. The

doctor will be here soon. You should rest a bit more before they arrive.”

“All right,” Martha agreed.

After their conversation, Cecilia left the room to contact the doctor. Once she finished making. the necessary

arrangements, Nathaniel cdownstairs, fully dressed.

“Ceci,” he greeted her casually.

Cecilia, still feeling awkward about the previous night, chose not to engage with him. She intentionally ignored

him, pretending to be busy.

Nathaniel noticed her cold demeanor and frowned slightly, his handsface taking on a serious expression. He

assumed that Cecilia had left the room because of him, so he returned to

Only then did Cecilia relax and go to freshen up.

Before long, the sound of the doorbell echoed through the house. Assuming it was the doctor, Cecilia

immediately went to open the door. To her surprise, it was Vivian standing there, carrying a bag and looking

around restlessly.

“Vivian, what are you doing here?” Cecilia asked, perplexed. “Where's Jon?”

“Last night, my dad kickedout. Jon is probably accompanying him on a tour of our family’s company right

now,” Vivian replied with a shrug.

Roland had quickly grown fond of Jonathan, even going so far as to call him his treasure. He had planned to write

the boy into his will, intending to leave all his assets to Jonathan when he passed away.

After explaining the situation, Vivian looked around the house and quietly asked, “Where's Nathaniel?”

She was curious about the former CEO, who was now blind. She wondered what he looked like now.

Cecilia turned and gestured toward the direction of Nathaniel’s room. “He’s in his room,” she said.

“I'll go check.” Vivian set down her bag and, as if about to see a rare animal, made her way toward Nathaniel’s

room.

Before she could even knock, the door swung open, and a tall man stepped out. “Do we have any visitors?”

Nathaniel asked.

Vivian, standing just a few feet away, observed him carefully. Despite his blindness, there was nothing unusual

about his eyes. She couldn't help but feel a mix of pity and satisfaction. It was indeed retribution at its finest-

such a sc*mbag of a man, now blind.

Before Cecilia could respond, Vivian spoke up. “Hello, I'm Vivian, Cecilia's childhood best friend. Do you

remember me? You once escortedto the police station.”

Nathaniel’s expression remained unchanged as he replied, “I don’t remember.”

Vivian's face fell, feeling a bit choked up by his cold response.

How could his attitude still be so terrible? Didn't Martha say he had changed?
