Chapter 36 Keep A Close Watch On Her

Uninterested in further conversation with him, Cecilia immediately pulled out a check and. handed it to him.

“I’ve paid the money, so I’m taking the necklace with me.”

Nathaniel tightly held onto the check, watching as the woman left without even looking back. He ordered, “Keep a close watch on her.”

At Ninth Ville.

Upon Cecilia’s return, she stood on the balcony, steadily sipping on glass after glass of wine..

She never had a habit of drinking before, but ever since she went abroad, she would numb herself with alcohol whenever she couldn’t handle things alone.

After the birth of the two children, their presence gradually helped her overcome her bad habits. But today, upon seeing Nathaniel, she found herself unable to control herself again…

Speaking of amnesia, she wasn’t lyin

burden was immense.

After moving abroad, during that period, her physical

Due to her depression, compounded by her pregnancy, her memory had deteriorated. There were numerous instances where she even intermittently forgot about Martha.

During that period, she was in immense pain. Her mind would sporadically drift back to her childhood when her father was still alive, then to her student years, and at times, to when she was still married to Nathaniel…

On one occasion, she even forgot about divorcing Nathaniel, about faking her death to leave the country. All she remembered was that they had just gotten married.

Thus, despite being pregnant, she had bought a plane ticket back home, intent on finding

Nathaniel.

That day, she almost returned to Tudela. Thankfully, while at the airport, she saw a photograph of Nathaniel and Stella attending a banquet together. Only then did she belatedly recall that their relationship had already ended…”

The disarray of memories, offering hope time and again, only to replace it with disappointment just as often, was a sensation only understood by those who had experienced it. The depth of the pain was unimaginable.

She had always known that Nathaniel didn’t love her. His relentless search of her over the past four years was driven not by affection but by resentment and a refusal to accept defeat.

Therefore, she decided to feign amnesia this time. Her plan was to obtain Nathaniel’s sperm, but not through physical intimacy!

Her phone ringing interrupted Cecilia’s train of thought.

Cecilia took the call, and the deep, magnetic voice of a man echoed from the other end. It was Calvin

“How’s it going?”

“Well, the first step can be considered a success, replied Cecilia.

Noticing something off about her voice, Calvin furrowed his brows in concern. “Have you been drinking again?”

Cecilia fibbed, “No, I haven’t had a drink in a long time.”

Calvin responded with a low, “Mm–hmm.” Then, after a long pause, he added, “If there are any difficulties, I’ll come back-

He hadn’t finished speaking when Cecilia interrupted him.

“No need for that. Trust me, I can handle it well.”

Over the years spent abroad, Cecilia discovered that Calvin’s identity was far from simple, leaving him with hardly any free time.

She didn’t want her own issues to hold him back.

“Remember, if you need anything, contact me immediately.”

“All right.”

The call ended.

Cecilia glanced at the empty wine bottle on the table before tossing it into the trash can. She then turned on the TV, hoping to dispel the lingering loneliness within the room.

A new story had emerged on the entertainment news.

“Does Stella Ross‘ transition from a singer to a top–tier artist have a connection with Rainsworth Group’s CEO, Nathaniel Rainsworth? Rumor has it that their secret love affair has lasted for over a decade…”

For over a decade….

Cecilia mocked herself in her heart.

If the two of them have been in love for over a decade, then where does the three years of my marriage to Nathaniel fit into that decade?

At that moment, a video call came through.

Picking it up, she saw it was a call from her younger son, Elliot.

Only once Cecilia ensured that her drinking wasn’t noticeable did she dare to accept the video.
