When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1119 Working Overtime

Nathaniel didn’t respond. The next moment, he leaned in, pressing his lips against Cecilia’s.

Cecilia’s cheeks were burning like fire, and with the presence of the driver in the car, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She gently tapped on Nathaniel’s shoulder.

The man finally let her go. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?”

At that moment, Cecilia was certain that he could truly see.

However, she thought the questions he asked were simply hilarious. Why am I blushing? Isn’t it all because of his unexpected advance?

“I’m fine.” Cecilia turned her head away. “I’ll send a message to the driver, letting him know that he doesn’t need to pick me up.”

Upon seeing the situation, Nathaniel just stared at her, watching her send messages.

Cecilia found it rather peculiar. “Why are you constantly looking at me?”

A knot tightened in Nathaniel’s throat.

“I can finally see you now. Naturally, I want to see more.”

His gaze fell on Cecilia’s slightly rounded belly. He then pulled her closer, his arms wrapping around her more tightly. “You’ve had a rough time…”

When those words fell, Cecilia was somewhat angry and pushed him away.

“Don’t bother explaining to me. We’re already divorced. I’m just pitying you, that’s all.”

Nathaniel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Silly.”

“You’re the silly one.” Unable to resist, Cecilia gently pinched him.

Nathaniel didn’t resist, allowing her to pinch him. “I came to see you this time because I didn’t want you to worry,” he said. “My health hasn’t fully recovered yet, so I might not be able to visit you in the upcoming days.”

Upon hearing this, Cecilia looked at him with a touch of concern. “Have you had a check–up?”

“Yes, but it’s still under observation for now.”

As Nathaniel spoke, he couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her.

In a hurry, Cecilia raised her hand to shield her face. “Don’t do this.”

“Should we make a trip to the hotel?” Nathaniel asked again.

Cecilia asked, perplexed, “What are we going to do at the hotel?”

Cecilia’s face grew even hotter.

She truly hadn’t expected that all these thoughts were swirling around in Nathaniel’s mind.

“I don’t want to. I’m not going.”

Upon hearing her words, Nathaniel drew her in for another embrace. “In that case, be good and stay at home. If you need anything, just let me know.”

He had also explored this aspect, but he didn’t want Cecilia to be left unsatisfied and unhappy.

“Okay. Okay.”

Cecilia was truly at a loss for words.

As they neared the Smith residence, Cecilia alighted from the carriage ahead of time, bidding farewell to Nathaniel.

As the vehicle departed, Cecilia completely let go of her worries. Now, I can stay peacefully at home and look after the children while working during the day.

At home, Charlotte was busy setting up the dishes and cutlery, preparing for dinner. Seeing Cecilia returning at this hour, she couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, why did you finish work so late today?”

“I worked overtime for a while.”

“I see… Try to cut down on your overtime. Remember, you’re pregnant,” Charlotte reminded her.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Cecilia knew she was showing concern for her. “I understand. Should we eat now? You all must be hungry aren’t you?”

“Perfect timing, Ceci. You’re back just as the food is ready,” Lucille responded.

“Mommy, come sit with me.” Elliot beckoned to Cecilia with his hand.

Cecilia walked over and said, “All right.”

They were dining together, enjoying the serene passage of time.

After finishing their meal, they sat together, chatting and catching up on their favorite series. It was particularly enjoyable.

Meanwhile, Cassandra was unwilling to let Cecilia off the hook. She was still contemplating how to deal with her when she unexpectedly received a call from Nicholas.

“Nicholas, what’s going on?”

Nicholas said, “I don’t want a repeat of what happened at the office today.”
