When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 192 Playing Husband And Wife

Ever since she chose to divorce, Cecilia never once considered the possibility of becoming a real married couple with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel gently brushed away her stray fringes. “Say my name.”

Cecilia’s lips parted slightly. “Nathaniel.”

Nathaniel had initially intended to kiss her, but unfortunately, the ringing doorbell shattered the beautiful moment.

It was the food delivery.

An hour later, the two had tidied up and eaten their meal.

“Don’t you have to go to the office today?” Cecilia probed.

Nathaniel noticed that she really want him to leave.

“No, I’ve already delegated most of the work to others.”

In truth, he should have done that a long time ago. As the head of the corporation, he had too much on his plate. It was about time he delegated some responsibilities.

Cecilia couldn’t help but worry. If he didn’t leave, she couldn’t go back to the room to retrieve the bottle of sperm.

Nathaniel looked at her intently. “Do you really want me to go to the office?”

Cecilia shook her head, “No, I was just asking out of curiosity.”

“This month, I’ll set aside all my work, and we can spend quality time together,” Nathaniel said earnestly.

Set aside his work…

Cecilia was somewhat incredulous, yet she nodded. “Good idea.”

“Didn’t you mention before that you want to return to Sparaville?” Nathaniel asked casually.

Cecilia’s hand tightened around the water cup she was holding.

When they had just gotten married, she would often bring up the small county town where she grew up in conversations with Nathaniel.

After all, being in love with someone meant wanting to share everything about oneself with them.

“Indeed, I did mention it before.”

“Pack up after this. We’ll drive there this afternoon.”

They had agreed to play husband and wife for a month.

When he first decided to become Cecilia’s husband, he had no idea how to go about it.

Reflecting on what others had mentioned about honeymoon trips, he figured this was it.

It took a while for Cecilia to regain her composure, then she responded, “Alright, I’ll pack right away.”

With that, she returned to her own room.

Just as Cecilia picked up her phone, she noticed a missed call from Vivian.

She called back, and the call connected swiftly.

“How did it go?” Vivian was eager to know the answer.

“It was a success.”

Cecilia felt that there was a high chance she could be pregnant this time.

“That’s great, so can we take Eli with us and leave?” Vivian asked.

“I’m not entirely sure if I’m pregnant yet. I’d like to confirm it through a test before we leave.”

Cecilia informed her about the matter of pretending to be Nathaniel’s wife for a month, as well as the plan to head to Sparaville that very afternoon.

Vivian was somewhat bewildered. “What’s this jerk up to now?”

“No matter what it is, we still have to wait for a month.”

Cecilia’s hand rested on her lower abdomen, thinking that even if she were pregnant, it wouldn’t happen so quickly. After all, carrying a child takes about ten months and doesn’t happen overnight.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Alright then.”

Afraid of Nathaniel coming in, Cecilia quickly ended her call..

Subsequently, she simply packed a suitcase.

When the cleaning lady came to tidy up the room, she found an excuse to head to the master bedroom. There, she covertly wrapped the bottle in a blanket and snuck it out.

After putting it away, Cecilia changed into casual attire and descended the stairs, pulling her suitcase behind her.

“Are we leaving now?”

Nathaniel was engrossed in a book, seated comfortably on the couch. He looked up at her, and

“Sure.”

He rose, effortlessly carrying Cecilia’s suitcase, and headed out the door.

Bewildered, Cecilia trailed behind him, her surprise intensifying.

After placing the suitcase in the trunk and getting into the car, it was only then that Cecilia realized that Nathaniel would be driving there himself.

“It would take at least five to six hours to get to Sparaville. Should we ask the driver to take us?” Cecilia asked, worried he might not be aware.

“No need.”

Nathaniel wasn’t fond of having outsiders around on such personal trips.

Before he left, he had told Mason not to call him unless it was something important.
