When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1910 Lip Service

"Do we have a visitor?" Cecilia couldn't help but ask.

The housekeeper approached them, nodding with a smile. "Yes. They're here to

see you."

Me? Cecilia was somewhat bewildered. Who would come looking for me in Rainsworth Manor?

Cecilia couldn't think of anyone who would be there to see her. When she entered with Nathaniel, she instantly saw Chelsea.

Chelsea's clear gaze also fell upon Cecilia's face, her eyes filled with warmth.

"Hi, Cecilia. Hi, Nathaniel," she called out.

Phoebe also rose to her feet, saying, "Hi, Ceci. Hello, Nathaniel."

Nathaniel introduced them to Cecilia, "This is Aunt Phoebe, and this is my cousin, Chelsea."

Cecilia was somewhat taken aback. Isn't Chelsea the girl I saved last night? What a coincidence!

When Cecilia regained her senses, she courteously greeted them.

Elena saw everyone standing and hurriedly urged everyone to sit down, "Quick! Let's sit down and talk."

The group took their seats.

Phoebe didn't beat around the bush. She got straight to the point, saying, "Ceci, we owe you and your friends a debt of gratitude for yesterday. Without your help, something terrible would have happened to Chelsea."

Cecilia shook her head. "It was nothing."

"That's not it, Cecilia. You were really brave last night. Also, the woman by your side was quite the fighter."

Chelsea took over the conversation and told everyone about what Charlotte did.

"You wouldn't believe it, but that girl was surprisingly strong despite her petite frame. With just a simple judo throw, she effortlessly took down Alec, a towering figure who weighed over a hundred and fifty kilograms."

"Really?" Elena was also taken aback. She looked toward Cecilia and asked, "Who is that?"

"It's Charlotte, my assistant,” replied Cecilia.noveldrama

Elena instantly remembered the sweet and adorable-looking Charlotte.

In a surprised tone, she said, "Who would have thought? Charlotte, that petite girl, is unexpectedly so capable."

Cecilia then revealed, "Charlotte has been trained since childhood. She can easily handle two opponents at once."

Chelsea's face was full of admiration when she heard that.

"Cecilia, when you're free, could you introduce me to your friends? I'd like to thank them in person."

"Sure," Cecilia readily agreed.

At this point, Chelsea's mother, Phoebe, called for her accompanying secretary.

The secretary respectfully approached, delicately holding three beautifully wrapped gift boxes.

"Ceci, this is a token of appreciation that Chelsea's father and I have prepared for you and your friends. The gift may not be extravagant, but it's a sincere expression of our gratitude."

Cecilia, with her thin-skinned nature, was particularly ill-suited for such situations. She hastily shook her hea in response. “Oh! There's no need for gifts. Thank you."

"This is just a token of appreciation, so you should take it. After all, you saved our daughter, and this small token of gratitude is only right," Phoebe said.

Observing the situation, Elena also said, "Ceci, you should accept it. It's okay."

Despite hearing those words, Cecilia still felt bad because she thought she hadn't done anything particularly remarkable.

Beside her, Nathaniel held her hand tightly, and he said, "Feel free to accept Aunt Phoebe and Chelsea's gratitude. Besides, this isn't just for you alone. It's also for your friends. You can't possibly reject it on their behalf, can you?"

Once those words had been spoken, it was rather awkward for Cecilia to continue refusing.

Hence, she had no choice but to reluctantly accept the gifts, not daring to open them to see what was inside.

The group of them had a meal together. Afterward, Cecilia and Nathaniel saw Chelsea and Phoebe off.

Before she left, Chelsea asked for Cecilia's contact information.

"Cecilia, I'm truly grateful. If there's anything you need from me in the future, you must let me know," she said, her eyes full of sincerity. It wasn't just lip service.
