Chapter 95 Promised Her

Nathaniel cast him a profound glance. “No need. I’ve already promised her.”

A glimmer of disappointment flickered in Zachary’s eyes. He couldn’t help but probe, “Don’t you dislike being in such situations the most?”

Nathaniel keenly noticed something was off with Zachary and said lightly. “There’s an exception to everything!”

Zachary didn’t stay there for long before he left.

When he stepped out into the open–air corridor, he saw Cecilia engaged in lively conversation and laughter with the company’s employees.

That sort of smile on her was something he had never seen before.

Arnold approached Zachary, “Old Mr. Rainsworth requests your return, Mr. Zachary.”

“Understood,” replied Zachary,

During the afternoon, Cecilia was in the newly opened music classroom at the school for the special. She sat at the piano, teaching children with disabilities how to play.

Nathaniel was standing outside the door, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

It was his first time witnessing Cecilia play the piano. The clear and melodious sound of the piano. was akin to a gently flowing stream, refreshing to the soul.

Nathaniel focused on the faint smile on Cecilia’s face, a sight he rarely saw.

“Ms. Smith, you’re truly impressive.”

“How did you manage to do it?”

The children looked up at Cecilia with admiration.

Cecilia conveyed to them that as long as they were willing to put in the effort, they could all become exceptional.

In the past, he had always perceived Cecilia as a pampered young lady and a good–for–nothing. However, he realized he was wrong.

When she emerged, she noticed that Nathaniel had already dismissed his bodyguards. He stood

His figure was upright. his profile stern and cold.

Cecilia was momentarily taken aback and somewhat confused. Since then had he developed such a fondness for smoking? I remember, in the past, he absolutely detested the smell of smoke.

“Mhm. Cecilia handed Nathaniel the small bag she was holding.

Nathaniel looked puzzled. “What is this?”

The children have given you a gift. It’s a painting, as a token of thanks for helping them establish a school. Cecilia stated.

Nathaniel did not reach out to take it. “You can hold onto it.

To him, that thing was nothing more than trash because he never needed any gifts.

Cecilia understood who he was, so she didn’t insist.

“Then, I’m leaving. Without another word, Cecilia turned to leave.

“Wait a moment!” Nathaniel called out to stop her.

Cecilia asked, puzzled, “Is there anything else?”

“I’ve been waiting for you for over four hours,” Nathaniel stated.

Cecilia smoothly proposed, “How about I treat you to a meal?”

“All right.”

Cecilia didn’t expect him to agree so readily.

Later, Nathaniel followed Cecilia back to Ninth Ville, and when he arrived, he was in a foul mood because Calvin owned the place.
