Chapter 201 | Saved Your Mother

With a heavy heart, Nathaniel suppressed the intense resentment bubbling in his heart, cupped Cecelia’s face,

and kissed her.

Only then did Cecelia notice that his hand had been injured earlier and was still bleeding.

Instead of expressing her concern, she forcefully avoided him.

Instead of expressing concern, she pulled away forcefully. “Have you forgotten what I said? | won't honor our

agreement anymore.”

Nathaniel’s lips brushed her cheek as he listened to her words, his breath heavy.

“Does that mean you don’t oweanything?” Cecelia’s voice trembled as if something were lodged in her

throat, making it difficult to speak. Yes, Stella saved his mother’s life, but didn’t I? How can he be so unfair to

me?

Nathaniel was unaware of her inner thoughts, assuming that when she spoke of feeling neglected, she was

referring to the indifference she had endured throughout their three years of marriage.

“From now on, | promise we'll live a happy life together.” It was the first the had ever compromised with

anyone.

Had she heard these words five years ago, Cecelia would have been overjoyed, but now, she no longer trusted

Nathaniel. “I'm tired. Just givesspace.”

Nathaniel gently scooped her up in his arms and headed toward the house.

Nathaniel had pulled Cecelia into a forceful embrace while they were in bed that night.

Nathaniel couldn't understand why he couldn't fall asleep. Every the closed his eyes, he saw the emptiness

of the house from when he had returned earlier that day.

The wound on his hand still throbbed faintly.

After what felt like an eternity, Cecelia suddenly broke the silence. “Can you tellmore about how Stella saved

your mother?”

She couldn't help but wonder why she had never heard about the incident before.

Nathaniel recounted the incident from the past when Elena and Zachary were framed and had an accident while

heading to the company. He explained that it was Stella who had cto their rescue.

Shock was evident in Cecelia’s eyes as she listened to the story.

Only now did she understand why Zachary was so kind to Stella and why Nathaniel was so tolerant of her.

It was then that she realized Stella had taken credit for her act of saving them!

She clung tightly to Nathaniel’s sleeve, her hands trembling. “I-If | told you that | was the one who saved your

mother, would you believe me?”

Nathaniel’s dark eyes momentarily wavered.

Before he could respond, Cecelia hastily added, “Don’t overthink it. | was just joking earlier. I'm tired; I'm going

to bed now.”

As Cecelia closed her eyes, she felt a wave of fear she couldn't quite understand. After voicing her thoughts, she

found herself too afraid to wait for Nathaniel’s response.

The countless betrayals, the mockery, and the long periods of neglect had eroded her belief that he would ever

trust her. She dreaded that his words, if he spoke, would only wound her further.

She feared that once he opened his mouth, the words that cout would wound her.

Moreover, with over a decade having passed and no evidence to back her claim, she felt that continuing this

conversation would only deepen her humiliation.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn’t take her words to heart. To him, it was clear that Stella had been the one to rush to

the hospital and care for his mother during the accident years ago. He had witnessed it firsthand and had no

reason to doubt it now.

He continued to embrace Cecelia, and it took a while before he finally drifted into a deep slumber.

In his dream, Cecelia had slipped away once more, and this time, he was unable to find her. When he jolted

awake, the night was still dark. Instinctively, Nathaniel glanced beside him. Cecelia had already moved from his

embrace and settled in the corner of the bed.

Nathaniel pulled her back into his arms, holding her a little tighter, fearing that she might slip away again.

Just as he was about to settle back into sleep, the vibration of his phone interrupted him. It was a call from

Mason..

He got up and walked to the balcony, answering the phone in a hushed tone. “What's the matter?”

“Mr. Rainsworth, the finance manager just reported that your personal account has been hacked. Over seventy «

billion has disappeared all of a sudden!” Mason exclaimed.
