When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1514 Call From Eric

Cecilia picked up to see an unfamiliar number.

After a moment of hesitation, she decided to answer the call. "Hello, who's this?"

"It's me, Eric," a voice brimming with youthful energy rang out from the other end of the phone.

Cecilia asked in confusion, "Is there something you need?"

"I guess you've truly forgotten who I am now that you have amnesia." Eric sighed. "Did you forget? You still owe me a meal. Besides, I'm now an artist signed under your company. Aren't you going to take care of me at all?" His words were laced with a hint of flirtation.

It was the first time Cecilia had encountered a man acting like that, and for a moment, she was somewhat at a loss about what to say. "Um, would it be possible to owe you for now?"

"No way... You've owed me that for a year now, and you still want to continue owing..." Eric was relentless.

Nathaniel could subtly sense who the caller was.

He took the phone from Cecilia's hand and, sure enough, he heard the voice of Eric.

"Ms. Cecille, are you worried about Nathaniel discovering our secret? Relax, I promise I won't breathe a word to him!" said Eric.

Our secret? Nathaniel's expression instantly darkened.

"Eric, if you bother my wife again, don't blame me for not being polite!" After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone for Cecilia.

It wasn't until Cecilia snapped back to her senses that she said, "Nathaniel, how could you do this?"

She was somewhat upset. Snatching the phone from someone else's hand and even hanging up the call for them was incredibly rude. Upon seeing that Cecilia was somewhat upset, Nathaniel couldn't help but explain, "Ceci, Eric is not a good person. No actors are." After hearing that, Cecilia looked up at him. "Is this the reason you snatched my phone and hung up my call?"

Nathaniel was taken aback by her gaze. For reasons he couldn't comprehend, he found himself instinctively fearing Cecilia. noveldrama

Cecilia gently reclaimed her phone from his hand. "I don't like this. Mr. Rainsworth, I'd appreciate it if you could show a bit more respect in the future." Nathaniel felt a surge of jealousy threatening to spill out from his heart. Her words made him feel quite awful.

Cecilia walked ahead of him toward the restaurant.

Inside the dining room, everyone was waiting for the two of them to arrive.

"Ceci, come and eat," Lucille called out.

"All right." Cecilia flashed a smile and took a seat next to Lucille.

Nathaniel

also came over,

instinctively wanting to sit next to Cecilia However, Cecilia blocked the spot with her hand, speaking to Elliot. "Eli, would you like to come and sit next to me?"

Naturally, Elliot was more than willing, eagerly agreeing, "Of course, Mommy."

He arrived with a spring in his step. Disregarding Nathaniel's sour expression, he took a seat next to Cecilia.

Nathaniel had no choice but to switch to a different spot.

At first, no one had noticed the

tension between Nathaniel and Cecilia. It wasn't until they saw Nathaniel trying to strike up a

conversation with Cecilia, whool

repeatedly ignored him, that they realized something was off.

Elliot lowered his voice and asked Nathaniel, "Daddy, did you upset Mommy again?"

Nathaniel couldn't help but feel frustrated. "Why is it always me upsetting her? Can't it be her upsetting me for once?"

He was also feeling terrible at the moment. It was clear that Eric was trying to steal his love away, but with Cecilia's amnesia, she simply didn't care about his feelings.

"Sc*mbag daddy, you ought to be more magnanimous, you know?" Elliot said, acting all grown-up as he patted Nathaniel's shoulder.

Nathaniel understood the need for magnanimity, yet he found it unbearable to witness Cecilia laughing and chatting with other men.
