When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2298

Elena went back disappointed, yawning as she said to Cecilia, "I was hoping to watch Robert really bare his teeth tonight. Didn't expect it to get settled this fast."

She didn't pity either side anyway.

The Leighton family wasn't any better.

Cecilia nodded. "Yeah. I really didn't expect something like this to end up getting settled over profit too."

Elena patted her on the shoulder.

"You'll need to get used to this from now on. In big families like these, nobody talks about feelings. It's all profit."

Cecilia stayed quiet for a moment, turning that over.

After Elena went back to the bedroom to rest, Cecilia headed to the home she shared with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel hadn't gone over there that day. He wasn't that nosy.

At that moment, he was sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone.

When Cecilia saw he was still awake, she looked at him. "Why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late."

"What about you? Why are you only getting back now?" Nathaniel asked.

He'd been waiting because he couldn't stop worrying about Cecilia.

Cecilia sat down beside him. "Things got pretty ugly over there. The Leightons all showed up."

"Oh."

"You're really not curious at all? You don't want to ask me what happened in the end?"

"The Leighton family probably gave Robert a little something sweet, and he let them go. Right?" Nathaniel said.

The second Cecilia heard that, the whole thing stopped being interesting.

"Talking to you is seriously boring. How do you know everything?"

Nathaniel took her hand. "Alright. Next time, even if I know, I'll pretend I don't."

Cecilia had nothing to say to that.

"Alright, go to sleep."

After washing up, she lay down on the bed.

Nathaniel naturally pulled her into his arms.

He was holding her too tightly, and it wasn't comfortable. "Let go. I want to sleep by myself."

Nathaniel's hand went stiff.
