Chapter 496 Do You Love Me Now

“All right, I’ll give you one last chance,” Nicholas said.

Stella felt as if she had been granted a royal pardon.

“Mr. Rainsworth, we have an agreement. If I manage to pull this off, you must help me make my comeback in the entertainment industry.”

“Of course.”

Only then did Stella quietly share her plan with Nicholas.

Although her plan was cruel, it was the most effective way to make Cecilia give up on Nathaniel.

Nicholas agreed.

When Nathaniel returned, he had someone check the surveillance around the mansion. As expected, it showed Nicholas sitting in a car and having an interaction with Stella.

Nathaniel’s brows furrowed. It seemed he needed to send his younger brother back abroad as soon as possible.

Regrettably, he was blind now, which greatly hindered his daily activities.

Inside the house, Cecilia had prepared all the food for New Year’s Eve dinner.

She only needed to give the food a simple stir–fry before serving them in the evening.

Seeing Elliot return, she couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you go for a walk with Uncle Nathaniel?”

Yawning, Elliot said, “I still want to rest.”

“All right, darling, go rest,” Cecilia said, thinking he must be feeling unwell again.

After Elliot went upstairs, Cecilia decided to head out since Nathaniel hadn’t returned

yet.

As she stepped outside, she caught sight of a familiar silhouette departing. Her heart abruptly

shrank.

No matter how much time had passed, she clearly remembered Stella.

Cecilia clenched her fists and stood still.

After ending the call with his subordinate, Nathaniel turned around, unaware that Cecilia had

COIDE Over.

Nathaniel Rainsworth.”

Suddenly, Cecilia called out his full name.

Nathaniel froze. “Ceci? Why did you come outside when it’s so cold?” he asked as he moved. toward her upon hearing her voice.

Observing the concern on the man’s face, Cecilia no longer suppressed her thoughts like she used to. Instead, she asked directly, “Why did Stella come here? Do you still remember her?”

“I’m not sure why she came looking for me,” Nathaniel responded.

What else could a woman like Stella possibly want from him? Wasn’t she just after his money and power?

Nathaniel responded to another question from Cecilia, “Didn’t you and Mason often mention her to me? Even though I don’t remember her, I know what kind of person she is. Don’t worry, she won’t be able to deceive me.”

Listening to his response, a lump formed in Cecilia’s throat. Through the flurry of falling snow, she found it hard to see into the distance.

“Nathaniel, do you truly care for me, and not her? Could it be because your memory hasn’t returned?”

Cecilia didn’t want to be a compromise, nor did she wish to be a stand–in for another woman. If Nathaniel didn’t love her, she could walk away resolutely now because she no longer felt that reckless passion for Nathaniel as she once did.

All that remained was his connection to her as the father of her child.

Nathaniel’s throat tightened.

Indeed, a lie required countless others to maintain it.

He could never have imagined that he would trip up over his own fabricated amnesia.

“Ceci, I’ve only ever loved you.

It was only under the guise of amnesia that he was able to utter such words.

Nathaniel was afraid that Cecilia might bring up the topic of parting ways again, so he quickly added, “If I were fond of Stella before my amnesia, how is it that after losing my memory, I only remember you?”

When he first began to lose his memory, he only remembered Cecilia.

“Maybe you’re having trouble letting go of me?”

Cecilia still remembered how they were caught up in a lawsuit before Nathaniel’s incident.

She even admitted in front of the judge and the lawyer that she was seeing someone else and threatened Nathaniel with a divorce. At that time, Nathaniel was absolutely livid.
