Chapter 23 Do Not Make Me Angry

She was terrified, holding her abdomen protectively.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before everything finally stopped.

“Cecilia, don’t make me angry.” Nathaniel’s breathing was heavy.

Cecilia could only vaguely hear his words.

Her eyes were hollow. “Didn’t you say that you would never touch me? So, what is this now?”

She buried her face in the pillow. Nathaniel didn’t notice how pale her face had become.

Cecilia continued, “Does your little lover know what you’ve done? If she found out, I bet she’d be furious.”

Once, Cecilia thought that Nathaniel was both heartless and passionate.

Now, she only found him to be insufferable…

When she mentioned his lover, Nathaniel knew she was referring to Stella.

“Did you ever think about that when you were with Calvin?”

His words were sharp as a blade, aiming straight for her heart.

Nathaniel never compromised for any woman, especially not for Cecilia.

Without any restraint, he sneered, “Looking at how scrawny you are, it’s hard to believe that any man would want you.”

As he spoke, he had already dressed himself.

Cecilia’s ears rang, and she could feel something flowing out from her lower body.

Before Nathaniel left, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Rainsworth, if I died, would you be sad?”

Die?

Nathaniel found it laughable.

He didn’t answer but simply said, “Move back to Daltonia Villa tomorrow.”

Cecilia didn’t hear his words.

After Nathaniel left, she pulled back the blanket and saw that her legs were covered in blood.

Nathaniel had no idea that shortly after he left, the sound of an ambulance siren echoed from downstairs.

DE

The following day, at the hospital, Cecilia was half–lying on the hospital bed, with Calvin tending to her nearby.

Had she not been sent to the hospital in time last night, she might have lost the baby.

After this incident, Cecilia was more determined than ever to leave Nathaniel.

Ding!

Cecilia picked up her phone and saw a message from Paula who had fled abroad.

Paula: Cecilia! Since you’re would be so grateful to you.

l alive, help me smooth things over with Mr. Larke. Magnus and I

Cecilia deleted the message without replying.

She knew that as long as she was alive, Paula and Magnus would continue to make demands of

her.

Another message was from Nathaniel’s mother, Elena.

Elena: Cecilia, you should be well aware of how much Nathaniel despises you. The only reason he won’t divorce you is because he wants to make you suffer!! So, could you please just disappear from this world? I beg of you.

Calvin came over just in time to see the message.

His brow furrowed. “These people are absolutely shameless!”

Cecilia turned off her phone and looked up at him with a forced smile.

“But there are good people too. Thank you.”

Calvin looked at the strained smile on her face, feeling deeply uncomfortable.

How much injustice and suffering had she endured all these years? Why is she still treading so cautiously, even around an old friend?

Calvin sat down in front of her, meeting her gaze directly. “Between friends, there’s no need to keep saying thank you.”

Hearing this, Cecilia nodded.

After a moment of hesitation, she couldn’t help but speak up. “Calvin, can you do me a favor?”

Cecilia knew that he was the only person who could help her for now..

At Daltonia Villa, Nathaniel returned home promptly after work that day..

He had thought that Cecilia would have calmed down by now..

Nathaniel’s eyes darkened.

Instinctively, he pulled out his phone and checked it. There were only work–related messages- nothing else.

Feeling irritable, Nathaniel walked inside, tugging at his tie as he sat down on the couch.

For some reason, his head began to ache.

Leaning back in the chair, he rubbed his temples. As soon as he closed his eyes, an image of Cecilia’s serene face floated in front of him.

Serene didn’t mean meek. On the contrary, Cecilia’s beauty was striking.

Nathaniel still remembered the first time he saw her. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail and smiled shyly, yet her eyes were so bright and captivating.

But after that… Nathaniel frowned. He realized that since Cecilia married him, she had never smiled again…

The ringing phone interrupted his thoughts.

Nathaniel answered the call–it was his friend, Zachary.

“Nathaniel, something’s happened to Cecilia.”
