When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1667 Not Replying To His Texts

"I remember those times when Nathaniel didn't care about Cecilia at all. During those three years, Cecilia had a really tough time as no one treated her as Mrs. Rainsworth." Miranda sighed again. "Who would've thought things would change so quickly? I thought Cecilia and Nathaniel would never reconcile, but it turns out she's quite forgiving.

The chill in Nicholas's eyes intensified.

Miranda continued, "Actually, before you came back, I told Cecilia she had gotten the wrong person. Unfortunately... I think by that time, she had already fallen for Nathaniel."

Nicholas could no longer bear it and interrupted her.

"The past is the past. There's no need to bring it up again."

Miranda stopped speaking.

Nicholas withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

Miranda watched his retreating figure, the corners of her lips curving into a grin.

Nicholas had a deeply rooted psychological issue he could never bear to see Nathaniel doing well.noveldrama

Now it was just a matter of seeing which of the two brothers could outdo the other.

After walking away, Nicholas got into his car.

In the passenger seat, Jocelyn was sitting with her head down, playing on her phone. When she noticed him approach, she put her phone down.

"Mr. Nicholas."

"Mm. To the company."

"Yes."

Jocelyn nodded, though her phone vibrated occasionally.

She didn't check.

Nicholas noticed and asked curiously, "What's going on? Why aren't you checking your messages?" Jocelyn replied honestly, "It's personal. I don't need to check right now."

They were all from Yannick. The two of them had reconciled and were now trying to date.

She hadn't expected Yannick to be so idle, sending her messages every now and then.

"It's fine. You're not working right now," Nicholas said calmly.

"Okay." Jocelyn picked up her phone again and checked Yannick's messages.

Yannick had invited her to dinner at his family home this afternoon, saying his grandmother wanted to meet her.

Jocelyn hesitated for a long time before telling Nicholas, "Mr. Nicholas, I have something on this afternoon."

Nicholas raised his head but didn't ask further. "Okay. Go ahead."

"Mm."

That afternoon, Jocelyn left the company.

Nicholas stayed alone in his office. He didn't know why, but after Jocelyn left, he couldn't focus on work and felt restless.

He called his secretary. "Do you know where Ms. Wright went?"

The secretary thought for a moment before replying, "Not sure. Maybe she went to meet her boyfriend?" "Boyfriend?" Nicholas's expression was filled with surprise.

He had no idea Jocelyn was dating someone.

Seeing his reaction, the secretary added, "Yes, our office has been receiving gifts from her boyfriend recently, so we found out. But given her age, it's normal for her tobe in a relationship." en

Given her age?

Nicholas remembered Jocelyn was turning twenty-nine this year.

In today's society, for a woman to be unmarried at twenty-nine was indeed considered old.

"Do you know who her boyfriend is?" he asked.

The secretary shook her head. "I'm not sure."

After a pause, she was unable to

resist her curiosity. "But he seems to be quite wealthy. The gifts he sends to MS. Wright are all custom-made."

Nicholas listened quietly. Once the secretary left, he couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and left his office.

Sitting in his car, he couldn't help but send Jocelyn a message: Jocelyn, where are you now?

At that moment, Jocelyn had already arrived at the Hayes residence. She was chatting with Yannick's

grandmother, Sofia. Her phone was on silent, so she was completely unaware that Nicholas had texted her.
