When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1540 Not A Man

Cecilia could read between the lines of Yannick's words. However, she didn't argue further and.instead, patiently clarified, "I remember most of the things from my childhood."

"I see," Yannick said, his gaze still holding a hint of displeasure as he looked at Cecilia.

At that moment, Jocelyn, who was standing nearby, also realized that her blind date was far from ordinary.

He's a friend of Calvin!noveldrama

Nevertheless, Jocelyn didn't press further at that moment.

Yannick continued, "Why are you here all by yourself? Isn't Nathaniel accompanying you? Isn't he worried

something might happen to you, ere

Cecilia sensed the hostility Yannick held toward herself Uncertain of whether Yannick was friend or foe, she made casual chatter.

"He's gone to the restroom. He'll be back shortly. Please excuse me."

With that, Cecilia turned and walked away.

Yannick's eyes grew cold as he muttered under his breath, "Truly heartless."

He quickened his pace, catching up and firmly grasping Cecilia's wrist.

"Ms. Smith, why the rush to leave? We can spend more time talking about your relationship with Calvin."

When he seized Cecilia by the wrist, it caught her off guard. "What is it that you want to discuss?" she asked.

"After accepting his kindness, how could you reject him and now, you've even forgotten him!" Yannick truly couldn't accept that his role model, Calvin, had been deceived by Cecilia just like that. Cecilia felt a sharp pain from his grip. "Are you sure you haven't gotten the wrong iden?"

"The wrong idea?" Yannick chuckled. "I'm just curious, what's your real stance on Calvin? Do you actually like him or not?"

Cecilia was puzzled. She wanted to pry herself free from Yannick's grip, but no matter she just couldn't.

hard she tried,

Meanwhile, Jocelyn hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yannick, "What are you doing? Let go of Ms. Smith immediately." Yannick had a rare encounter with Cecilia that day, so he wanted to stand up for Calvin. He didn't want to let Cecilia go just like that.

It was at this moment that Nathaniel emerged from the restroom with Elliot in tow, just in time to witness the unfolding scene.

He let go of Elliot, and without uttering another word, he rushed forward, landing a punch on Yannick.

Finished

Initially, Jocelyn intended to help him up, but recalling his continuous deception, she kept her distance.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yannick's mouth. He wiped it away and looked up to see Nathaniel standing in front of Cecilia. He couldn't help but smile. "Mr. Rainsworth, it's been a while, hasn't it?" Nathaniel's expression was icy cold.

"Hey Yannick, if you don't want anything to happen to the Hayes family, you had better behave yourself."

Yannick took a deep breath, feigning indifference. "Calvin is just too innocent, that's why he was deceived by her."

Nathaniel couldn't help but let out a cold chuckle. "Really?" he questioned, "Why didn't you mention that it was all wishful thinking on his part? Ceci has never given him a chance, nor did she ever admit to liking him."

Upon hearing these words, Cecilia began to understand the situation a bit better.

Are they suggesting that Calvin has feelings for me?

She had always assumed that her relationship with Calvin was merely platonic. Upon her return, even Calvin's interaction with her was nothing more than that of a friend.

Yannick was left speechless by Nathaniel's stern words, unable to find any

rebuttal.

Upon witnessing this situation, Nathaniel spoke again. "You'd better keep Calvin in check. Don't let her bother my wife again. After he did, he even had the audacity to blame her for it. He's not a man at all!" He turned toward Cecilia and said in a gentle voice, "It's alright now. Let's go back."

Yannick just stood there, frozen on the spot, as he watched the family of three walk away.

His mind was filled with the words that Nathaniel had said when he left. Not a

man?
