When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1865 The Meeting

"Ceci, I can't thank you enough." Meredith expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"Don't worry, and don't rush to thank me just yet," Cecilia said. "I'm not even sure if I can pull this off."

She was quite curious as to why Nicholas wanted to involve her in the discussion.

After ending the call, she relayed the matter to Nathaniel.

After listening, Nathaniel didn't stop her, knowing that changing her mind was futile once she had made a decision.

"Then I'll go with you," he said.

"Alright," agreed Cecilia.

She took out her phone and reached out to Nicholas to arrange a meeting.

Nicholas sent her an address.

When Cecilia saw it, her eyes flickered slightly.

The place was near a small lake by the Rainsworth Manor. She could still recall her younger days when she would sneak out to meet with Nicholas there.

Cecilia responded with a simple okay.

Meanwhile, Nicholas sat in his office, his fingers gently tapping on the desk.

Jocelyn was beside him, engrossed in her work. She couldn't help but wonder why Nicholas would reject Meredith's request.

Nicholas clearly doesn't love that child, so why did he refuse to give her up for adoption?

However, she didn't ask.

Nicholas watched Jocelyn pacing back and forth in front of him. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Jocelyn, why don't you sit down and take a break?"

Jocelyn halted. "No need, I'm not tired."

"I want to talk to you," Nicholas said.

Jocelyn had no choice but to sit on the couch away from him. "Mr. Nicholas, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"Do you think I'm being heartless?" Nicholas asked her.

Jocelyn was not a sycophant, so she spoke her mind. “Hmm, I don't understand why won't you agree to Ms. Seiler adopting Dahlia? I can clearly see that she genuinely adores the girl. Moreover, Cassandra had always been unkind to Dahlia. Dahlia needs a mother's love."

Nicholas listened quietly before saying, "I really don't know."

Jocelyn couldn't help but ask him

ان

again, "Istove really that important? More important than a child's future? You're willing to gamble a child's future just for the chance to see Cecilia?"

She knew that Nicholas wanted to see Cecilia and was using the child to achieve his goal.

Love?

Nicholas looked at Jocelyn. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Jocelyn looked straight at him. "Our lives are not just about love, right?"

Nathaniel's throat bobbed slightly as he took a sip of water.

"Jocelyn, I've come to realize that I just can't let it go."

Can't let it go?

Jocelyn didn't understand.

"Why do people change?" Nicholas paused, then looked deeply into

Jocelyn's eyes. "Ceci changed

Jocelyn was completely taken aback, as she didn't understand what he was getting at.

all growing, aren't we?"

Nicholas fell silent, no longer speaking.

The atmosphere within the room seemed to have grown heavier.

Seeing that he had stopped talking, Jocelyn didn't bother to ask any further.

She rose to her feet, ready to get back to work.

Nicholas asked again, "How are things between you and Yannick?"

Jocelyn's grip on the contract involuntarily tightened.noveldrama

"That's my personal business."

Nicholas choked on himself, unable to utter another word.

Without any hesitation, he stood up and left his office to meet Cecilia.

Not long after Nicholas left, Jocelyn noticed the rain that had started to fall outside without her realizing it.

She thought about Nicholas not having an umbrella and hesitated for a moment, then she grabbed an umbrella and went out after him.
