Chapter 173 Steal His Woman

Does it matter if he noticed those marks?

“Do you care about him that much? Are you afraid he'll be mad after seeing those marks?” Nathaniel’s voice

carried a bitter edge.

Cecilia didn’t respond to him.

He simply couldn’t understand why she had cried.

Before, Nathaniel remained indifferent when Cecilia cried, but now, her tears left him feeling utterly powerless.

“Stop crying.”

He gently kissed her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and her cheeks.

A flicker passed through Cecilia's eyes. She tried to push him away but simply couldn't.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

“Ms. Smith, | brought you new clothes,” the waitress announced from outside.

Nathaniel abruptly halted, leaning close to Cecilia's ear, his breathing heavy.

Cecilia wiped away the tears on her face and glared at him.

Nathaniel subtly shifted his position, allowing her the space to open the door and retrieve her clothes.

Cecilia cracked open the door slightly, collecting her clothes, and composed herself.

“Mr. Rainsworth, would you mind stepping out? | need to change my clothes.”

Fearing that she might cry again, Nathaniel left the restroom.

He stood outside, lighting up a cigarette. He found it challenging to suppress the unsettling feeling in his heart.

Why do | feel upset when Cecilia cried?

The waitress had bought her a summer top. Once she put it on, even though her hair covered her neck, the tiny,

scattered marks were still visible.

Cecilia gazed at her reflection in the mirror for a long tbefore finally stepping out.

Nathaniel was still standing there when he saw her cout. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

“Where are you going?”

“Don’t you know? I'm having lunch with a friend.”

If it hadn't been for the fact that Cecilia was truly under his surveillance, Nathaniel would certainly not have

allowed her to go.

Perhaps out of a sense of guilt, he didn’t try to stop her.

+5 Pearls:

Having composed herself, Cecilia returned to the private room, only to find that Calvin had left a jacket on her

chair.

“You're afraid of the cold, so | had the waitress bring over a jacket.”

“Thank you.”

Cecilia put on the jacket.

Throughout the meal, Calvin refrained from mentioning the marks on her neck.

He kept serving her food.

Cecilia seemed somewhat distracted as she ate.

“Ceci, if something is troubling you, you must tell me. Don’t keep it all to yourself,” Calvin said.

“Okay.”

Calvin knew that her words were just lip service. She would certainly never ask him for help.

After they finished eating, he escorted Cecilia back to Rainsworth Group.

After watching Cecilia leave, he returned to his car.

A call cthrough. It was from his good friend, Yannick Hayes. “So, how did it go? Did you confess to her?”

Calvin gazed out the car window. “No.”

“What do you mean, no? That's not like you at all.”

Calvin was always full of energy, acting swiftly in everything he did.

“I think she doesn’t like me. I'm worried that if | confess my feelings, we won't even be able to remain friends

afterward.”

On the other end of the phone, Yannick couldn't help but laugh. “Who can resist your charm?”

“I have no choice. She's in love with someone else.”

The thought of the marks on her neck made Calvin clench his fists..

“Who is it?” Yannick still didn’t know that Calvin was in love with Cecilia. He had only heard that

For the sake of that woman, he had disregarded all risks and forcefully returned to the country.

“Nathaniel Rainsworth,” replied Calvin.

Of course. Yannick knew who Nathaniel was.

He couldn’t help but curse.

“You want to steal his woman?”

The person that Yannick had in mind was Stella.

What's so special about an entertainer who's been the object of a thousand admirers’ dreams?

Holding his phone tightly. Calvin asked Yannick. “Is there a problem?”

Yannick was somewhat anxious.

“Stella is no ordinary woman. It's clear that she’s no good. She’s simply not worth your trouble. with Nathaniel.”
