When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 55 Memory Still Intact

Due to Stella’s sudden arrival, the previously intimate atmosphere became non–existent.

Nathaniel once again closed in on Cecilia.

Involuntarily, Cecilia took a step back.

Her actions caused Nathaniel’s heart to ache.

In the past, it was always Cecilia who took the initiative to approach him, but now, things had changed.

“Mr. Rainsworth, what business matter did you want to discuss with me?”

Facing the unpredictable Nathaniel, along with the failure from their last encounter, Cecilia knew that she had to proceed slowly.

Nathaniel gazed at her. He had the nagging feeling that she was hiding something from him.

“You enjoy charity work, don’t you? Come over tomorrow, I’ll take you somewhere special!”

There was no reason for Cecilia to refuse.

After she agreed, she turned around and left.

Upon opening the door, she saw Stella waiting outside.

When Stella saw her emerge, she immediately stepped in her way, his eyes brimming with

concern.

“Ceci, you’re really still alive, that’s wonderful. Can we talk?”

With a light laugh, Cecilia looked at her. “Miss, who might you be?”

Stella was taken aback. “You don’t recognize me?”

Cecilia didn’t bother to explain herself, “Are we close? I don’t really want to talk to you.”

Having said that, Cecilia stepped into the elevator in her high heels, leaving Stella rooted on the spot with an inscrutable expression.

ollowing that, Stella turned and headed toward Nathaniel’s office.

Nathaniel looked at her as she approached. “What’s the matter?”

“I came to clarify matters about the news today. I had no idea I was secretly photographed,

The secretary had informed Nathaniel about the news on the internet first thing in the morning.

It was stated that he brought Stella home to meet his parents with the intention of marrying

her.

Nathaniel did not delegate the issue to the public relations team, primarily because he wanted to see if Cecilia would react in any way.

However, judging by her earlier behavior, she clearly didn’t care.

After deep contemplation, Nathaniel turned to Stella and said, “Understood.”

Unable to hold herself back, Stella asked, “Nathaniel, didn’t Cecilia pass away? Why is she…?”

Upon hearing her mention Cecilia, Nathaniel placed his work aside and looked at her. “Who told you she had passed away?” he asked.

Stella choked up.

Nathaniel spoke in a cold, detached tone. “If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”

Even after leaving the office, Stella still couldn’t snap back to reality.

How could someone who was clearly dead come back to life?

Suddenly, she was gripped by fear, anxious that everything she had could be destroyed by Cecilia.

On the other end, after leaving the CEO’s office, Cecilia was assigned to an office.

After her visit, she had barely descended the stairs when someone called out to her.

Twenty minutes later, within the tranquil private room, Stella and Cecilia sat facing each other.

“I heard you lost your memory?” Stella said, a teasing smirk playing on her lips. “You didn’t forget about your family, did you?”

After taking a sip of her coffee, Cecilia turned to her and asked, “What exactly are you trying to say?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Stella pursed her red lips, her gaze somewhat piercing.

“Cecilia, I know you’re upset that I took Nathaniel away from you, but is it really necessary to resort to such methods to get close to him? Haven’t you been keeping up with the news? Nathaniel and I are nearly wedded. Did your upbringing teach you how to steal other people’s men?”

Cecilia let out a chuckle.

Stella blinked. “Why are you laughing?”

“I must say, Ms. Ross sure is well educated,” Cecilia remarked in a calm and unhurried tone.

Stella’s face immediately turned sour. Cecilia was fully aware that she was an orphan.

“Are you married to Mr. Rainsworth? As far as I know, you’re not, right? If you’re not married, how can I be accused of stealing your man? Besides, what proof do you have to claim that I’m stealing your man?”

Before, it had always Stella been who bullied Cecilia. Since when did the turn tables?

Stella managed to suppress her anger. “So, it seems you haven’t lost your memory.”
