Chapter 546 As Friends
Every single word from Nicholas struck Nathaniel’s sore spot.
He fell silent.
Nicholas beceven more smug. “Nathaniel, do you really think Ceci loves you? All she did was shift her love
foronto you. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been with you at all. Do you know? She used to always
cling to my arm, expressing her desire to be withevery moment of every day.”
Cecilia couldn’t make out what Nicholas was saying. She only noticed his grim expression. After a long while, he
finally handed her phone back.
“What did you two talk about?” Cecilia asked, puzzled.
Nathaniel lifted his hand and drew her into his embrace, his voice unexpectedly a bit hoarse as he spoke. “It's
nothing.”
Cecilia pushed him away. “Let go. People are watching us, and I've already told him | needed tto think. |
don’t want to jump back into a relationship with him.

The bodyguards surrounding them turned around.
Nathaniel lowered his voice. “Cecilia, were the things you wrote in the letters you left forin the past true?”
Once, Cecilia wrote to him, stating that she had never harbored any feelings for him and had been mistaken
about him all along.
Cecilia was stunned.
She didn’t know why he brought up the matter of the letter, but she didn’t deny it. “Yes.”
“What about last night?”
“Weren't you drugged?” Cecilia retorted.
If it weren't for the fact that he was drugged, she wouldn't have wanted any of those things to happen.
A bitter taste surged within Nathaniel’s throat. “In that case, upon your return to the country, why did you
repeatedly...”
“Didn’t | make myself clear?” Cecilia responded. “I simply wanted to have you. After all, | never had you before.
I've been with you for three years, so | can’t just let it go.”
Cecilia had been contemplating that since Nathaniel had now regained his memory it was tfor her to leave.
They were never people from the scircle.
“Now that you've got me, you're leaving and taking my children with you?” Nathaniel enunciated.
After a pause, Cecilia realized he was referring to the two children inside her belly.
She knew that denying the children were Nathaniel’s was pointless. While she conceived the children, she and
Nathaniel were practically inseparable every day.
“After the children are born, you can cto visit them frequently.”
Cecille was determined to take back the Smith family’s assets, so she had no plans to leave Tudela for the time
being.
Nathaniel’s anger completely dissipated because of her words. “Are you implying that you've made up your
mind, that you don’t want to be with me?”
“Yes.” Cecilia nodded.
She now had her own company, was wealthy, and didn’t need to rely on anyone. She had no desire to return to
the days when she was the Rainsworth family’s daughter-in-law.

Nathaniel’s eyes had turned red.
He couldn't see, and at that moment, he was particularly curious about what kind of expression. Cecilia wore.
How can she keep going back and forth like this?
Cecilia clenched her fists. “We're the same. Didn't you also deceiveabout your amnesia?”
Nathaniel realized that he was truly at a loss with her at that time.
Cecilia had another compromise in mind. “If you don’t want a divorce because you're afraid of public scrutiny,
we don’t have to separate. However, we won't live as a married couple but as friends.”
She contemplated that she might never marry again in this lifetime.
Not living as a married couple but as? How is that possible? “What's the difference between this
and divorce?” Nathaniel asked.
“But didn’t you treatthe sway before?” Cecilia retorted.
Nathaniel was instantly rendered speechless.
When Cecilia was about to say something, a phone call cthrough.
