When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1731 Replace Her

When Nathaniel descended the stairs, he caught sight of Charlotte's cheerful

silhouette.

His sharp eyebrows arched slightly. "Is there some good news today?"

Cecilia couldn't help but chuckle. "Yes, Lottie is going on a date."

A date...

Nathaniel looked at Cecilia, realizing it had been a long time since they had been on a date together. Now, they were even sleeping in separate rooms.

"Ceci."

"Hmm?" Cecilia looked at him, puzzled.

"How about we go out for a walk today?" Nathaniel suggested.

Shaking her head, Cecilia replied, "No, there's still a ton of work to be done at the office. I can't just leave right now. Besides, I haven't finished gathering evidence on Cassandra's previous asset transfers within the company."

Nathaniel felt somewhat helpless.

He hadn't expected that when it came to work, Cecilia was even more dedicated than he was.

"All right, once you're done with your work, let's go explore around."

Cecilia nodded. "All right."

Nathaniel escorted her to Jamieson Group.

When she got out of the car, he couldn't help but grasp her hand.

Baffled, Cecilia glanced back at him. "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Nathaniel gazed intently at her face. "Nothing, I'll pick you up tonight."

"You can head back first. No need to have the driver come here just for me. I can make my way back on my own."

Her politeness created an air of distance around her.noveldrama

Nathaniel's Adam's apple bobbed subtly in his throat, and he forced a smile. "All right, whatever you say."

He let go of his hand, and Cecilia flashed him a smile before leaving.

The driver started the car and commented, "Mr. Rainsworth, Mrs. Rainsworth is truly considerate and understanding."

Considerate and understanding?

Nathaniel felt an inexplicable discomfort deep within him. "You think so?"

He lit up a cigarette.

yet.

Upon hearing his response, the driver replied, "Yeah, if it were my wife, she would throw a fit if I didn't pick her up for even a single day She'd Claim I didn't love her anymore. Despite being so busy every day, I still make time to pick her up, and she doesn't show any understanding at all."

Nathaniel listened to the driver's complaints and fell into deep thought.

"But have you ever considered that she's overly polite to you, as if she doesn't see you as her husband?"

The driver paused for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter. "How could that be? I'd actually prefer if she didn't consider me her husband. Then I'd be free and easy, with no one to answer to. She loves to say that I'm her husband, so I have to help her with everything."

The driver went on and on, grumbling about his wife.

Nathaniel listened in silence, thinking that the driver was unaware of how blessed he truly was.

If there ever came a day when his wife, much like his own, forgot about him and treated him with excessive formality, he might not be able to utter such words.

The driver didn't quite understand what was going through Nathaniel's mind. He simply felt that Nathaniel was ungrateful. After all, he had a young beautiful wife who was not only capable but also sensible. Yet, he still seemed unsatisfied.

Is having a clingy wife a good thing?

I guess every household has its own set of challenges. Even the wealthy ones are

no exception.

Nathaniel took a few puffs of his cigarette before snuffing it out.

As the company building came into view, the vehicle came to a stop. He stepped out of the car, and a figure caught his eye.

"Nathaniel-no, Mr. Rainsworth." From a distance, Stella, dressed alluringly, stood there, offering him a nervous smile.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows, watching as the manager approached. "Why is she here?"

The manager followed Nathaniel's intense gaze and explained, "She's the spokesperson for one of our company's products."

"Replace her!"
