Chapter 139 The Agreement

“You're back?”

Cecilia raised her hand to close the piano lid before standing up.

With his tall and slender figure leaning

figure leaning against the door, Nathaniel asked, “Why did you stop playing?”

In the past, he was always consumed by work and had no idea about Cecilia's talent for playing the piano. It was

only once when Magnus cto discuss a project with him that he had the chance to hear Cecilia play.

At the time, Magnus had infuriated him, and he recalled venting his anger on her by belittling her.

From that point on, she never returned to the music room, and she never played the piano again. At that time,

he didn’t think it was a big deal.

“I don’t want to bother you,” Cecilia stated, before adding, “I've prepared the agreement; why don’t you take a

look?”

After his trip out, Nathaniel had nearly forgotten all about the

agreement.

“Right.”

The two walked side by side.

Nathaniel couldn’t help but say, “You play quite well. What's the nof that piece? How c| haven't heard

it before?”

Upon hearing these words, Cecilia was momentarily taken aback.

“You haven't heard it before?”

This melody was one she had composed back in her school days, and she had purposefully played it for him to

hear.

Nathaniel paused in his tracks, his profound gaze fixed on her as he asked meaningfully, “Should | have heard

it?”

Cecilia simply thought he had forgotten and shook her head. “I was just asking casually. | wrote this piece of

music back in high school, but | never released it.”

Upon hearing that she was the composer, Nathaniel couldn't help but regard her with newfound respect.

It was then he realized that his wife was so incredibly talented.

Nathaniel had already started walking ahead, leaving Cecilia to stare at his retreating figure, lost in thought.

From his demeanor, it seemed as though he truly had never heard this piece of music before...

Though Cecilia found it odd, she didn’t dwell on it much.

After all, Nathaniel was incredibly busy. So many years had passed since then, so how could he possibly

remember one song?

Upon returning to their room, Cecilia brought out the agreement she had handwritten and placed it before him.

“Take a look. If there aren't any issues, I'll print it out, and then we can sign it.”

Nathaniel took the agreement, giving it a quick glance.

Firstly, mutual respect was essential. Actions beyond those of mere acquaintances, such as embracing, were not

to be done without the other's consent. If one party violated this, the other had the right to leave.

Secondly, during the contract period, Nathaniel was required to take good care of Elliot. Once Cecilia had

completely repaid the money, Elliot had to be immediately returned to her. Furthermore, the two were to divorce

immediately.

Thirdly...

After reading through all the terms, it essentially boiled down to the fact that the two would live together, but he

was not allowed to touch her.

If he were to touch her, she had the right to leave with Elliot.

Moreover, once the debt was fully repaid, Nathaniel was obliged to return her and the child's freedom.

All in all, she was determined to leave!

Nathaniel furrowed his brows in contemplation, then turned his gaze to Cecilia. “All right.”

He wanted to see if Cecilia was really going to act according to the agreement!

Cecilia hadn't expected him to agree so readily. “Then I'll go print it.”

After printing out two copies of the agreement, Nathaniel signed first before Cecilia added her signature. They

each kept one copy.

“I hope you keep your promise.”

Upon hearing these words, Nathaniel retorted, somewhat annoyed, “Sgoes for you.”

“Don’t worry.”

She didn’t really mean much with the agreement. She was simply trying to devise a new tactic to make

Nathaniel yearn for something he couldn't obtain, and then desire it even more.

I wonder if this will work.

Nathaniel sat quietly in the living room. After Cecilia left, he took the agreement and tossed it directly into the

shredder.

Any agreement or pact didn’t matter. Only what he genuinely acknowledged counted.

He was curious to see what kind of tricks Cecilia was going to pull this time!
