standing in front of her.
“Nicholas, why are you here?”
Embarrassed, she got up from her seat.
“I heard that after Nathaniel returned from abroad, he moved out. | cto ask you what happened.”
Cecilia had always had a good impression of Nicholas and didn’t think of him as a bad person.
Still, she didn’t tell him about Nathaniel’s current condition. She only said, “He got a minor injury abroad. The
doctor said it's better for him to recover over there.”
She didn’t mention Nathaniel’s memory issues or that his memories had regressed several years.
“I see. | thought he had another fight with you,” Nicholas murmured.
Seeing he wasn’t leaving, Cecilia politely asked, “Would you like to sit for a while?”

After the servant left, the silence between Nicholas and Cecilia grew once again.

Cecilia was confused for a moment, then noticed he was staring at her face. She snapped back to reality.
“It stopped hurting a while ago. It’s already healed.”
Nicholas was about to say more when voices cfrom the entrance.
“Aunt Elena, you've got such great taste! The clothes you picked for Eli look amazing. In my next life, | want to
be your granddaughter,” Jessica flattered Elena.
Elena was quite pleased.
Jessica suddenly noticed Nicholas sitting across from Cecilia. At first, she mistook him for Nathaniel.
“Nathaniel, you're back?”
Carrying bags of clothes, she rushed over to Nicholas.
Her words caused a flash of disgust to appear in Nicholas’ eyes. Before he could say anything. Vivian stopped in
