When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 183 Did I Do Something Wrong

After chatting with Vivian, Cecilia put away her phone. She stopped looking at the flowers outside. but headed to the music room to play the piano.

Cecilia’s mind remained unsettled after a while, prompting her to leave the music room and step outside.

Immediately, she spotted Liam, whom she hadn’t seen in several years. Clad in a tailcoat, his once–dark hair now a striking shade of white, Liam radiated an unmistakable vitality

He was leading a group of workers, instructing them on their tasks, when he caught sight of Cecilia.

He indifferently withdrew his gaze, instructed the workers, and then walked toward Cecilia.

“Ms. Smith, are we disturbing you?”

He was polite on the surface, but the words he uttered next were more piercing to the heart than any vulgarity.

“You have a hearing problem. I thought you couldn’t hear. However, I must remind you that it’s now ten in the morning. Other ladies of high society wouldn’t be idling at home at this hour. If you really have nothing better to do, I suggest you leave first. Don’t disturb the workers. Am I right?”

Back then, Cecilia had thought he was genuinely guiding her on how to be a good wife to Nathaniel.

She dutifully followed his every instruction.

One day, she overheard him discussing her with his daughter, Lily. He described her as a naive. country girl who believed everything she was told.

Only then did she recognize that he took pleasure in exerting control over her.

After all, she was legally married to Nathaniel and was the openly wedded daughter–in–law of the Rainsworth family.

How cool it was for a servant to be able to discipline their own boss.

“Mr. Liam, I believe you’re mistaken. I am not the lady of high society you speak of, nor can I meet the standards you hold in your heart.”

She had planned to go to the office a bit later.

But now, she didn’t want to anymore.

“I’m not going anywhere today. If you want me to leave, you should call Nathaniel.”

For the first time, Liam was taken aback by Cecilia’s retort..

Before he could react, Cecilia returned to the music room once again playing the piano.

Once the glass windows of the music room were shut, most of the outside moise could be blocked out

Liam cast a cool glance toward the direction of the music room, then continued to direct his subordinates to carry on with their work.

Due to Nathaniel’s instructions to replace the flowers with those that had less pollen, there weren’t enough available at once. It was difficult to complete the task in just one day,

Besides, most of the flowers that had just been transplanted wouldn’t survive for long. It was necessary to have someone come by regularly to replace them with fresh ones.

Liam decided that whenever he had free time, he would often visit to properly guide Gera on how to be a good young lady of the Rainsworth family.

That day, Cecilia didn’t go to the office.

Upon learning that she had spent the entire day without leaving the villa, Nathaniel couldn’t help flashing a smile.

Unexpectedly, a few flowers were all it took to prevent her from having thoughts of escaping

His sudden smile caused the senior executive who had come to report on work to shudder.

“Mr. Rainsworth, did I do something wrong?

Regaining his composure, Nathaniel pulled back his smile, returning to his usual icy demeanor.

“You can leave now.”

The senior executive immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Nathaniel took a glance at the time before making a call to ask Liam about the progress with the flower replacement.

Liam informed him that they had already removed the flowers that produced excessive pollen. In due course, they would gradually replace them with varieties that produced less pollen.

After learning about it, Nathaniel packed his things and lef

“Nathaniel, how’s Ceci–the deafie doing?” Zachary had come over that day to ask that

“She’s all right,” Nathaniel simply replied before walking past him.

He wanted to know how Cecilia was doing, but he couldn’t investigate it himself. It would be difficult to explain if Nathaniel discovered it.

After leaving Rainsworth Group, Zachary had more matters to attend to that day. He had already found out that his illegitimate child was studying in an international preschool.
