When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1518 Do Not Want To See You Again

When Jocelyn was heading to the company with Nicholas, they passed by the university. Nicholas expressed his desire to get out of the car and take a look

Thus, she waited outside. Not seeing any sign of Nicholas' return for quite a while, she grew somewhat anxious and decided to go looking for him.

It just so happened that she witnessed the scene unfolding before her at that very moment.

Jocelyn clearly noticed that something was seriously wrong with Cecilia, and she couldn't help but speak up. "Mr. Nicholas, you must let go of Ms. Smith. She seems to be on the verge of collapsing." Jocelyn's voice pulled Nicholas back to reality.

He immediately released Cecilia, noticing she was paling and clearly struggling for breath.

"Ceci!" Nicholas' face was filled with anxiety.

Cecilia was panting heavily, leaving her no room to respond to him.

Jocelyn stepped forward, lending a hand to Cecilia. "Ms Smith, please relax slowly."

Cecilia nodded.

After a long while, she finally managed to regain her composure.

A flicker of guilt passed through Nicholas' eyes. He raised his hand, about to touch Cecilia. "Are you okay?"

Immediately, Cecilia took several steps back, evading him. "I almost lost my life just now."

She was still terrified, fearing that if Nicholas were to strike again, she would surely meet her end.

Nicholas' raised hand froze mid-air.

Jocelyn apologized on his behalf. "Ms. Smith, I'm sorry. Mr. Nicholas definitely didn't do it on purpose."

She knew better than anyone just how profound Nicholas' obsession with Cecilia was.

Reflecting on what Nicholas said earlier, Cecilia found it impossible to believe what Jocelyn said.

Bearing her discomfort, she took one step at a time, making her way outside. "Nicholas, I don't want to see you anymore."

As Nicholas watched Cecilia walk away, his mind kept repeating those last words of hers.

Jocelyn could feel the pain radiating from Nicholas, prompting her to say, "Mr. Nicholas, let's go."

It took a while for Nicholas to regain his composure. With a raspy voice, he responded, "All right."

The two of them walked out together and got into the car.

Jocelyn wanted to comfort Nicholas, but she didn't know how to go about it.

Jocelyn lowered her gaze, feeling it was about time she found someone she could rely on until old age.

It was at that moment that Jocelyn's cell phone ringtone shattered the silence.

She picked up her phone and saw it was a call from the nan she was set up with for a blind date.

Jocelyn decided not to answer, thinking that she needed to stay by Nicholas' side for the moment.

At that moment, Nicholas looked at her, his expression returning to its usual gentleness as if nothing had happened earlier. "Why didn't you answer your phone?

Originally, Jocelyn wanted to say it as a prank call. However, when she had taken out her phone earlier, she noticed there was a name on it and decided to be direct "It's a private call." "It's not like we're at work right now. It's okay to answer your phone if it rings," Nicholas said considerately.

Jocelyn wanted to say something else, but the phone rang again.

Under the silent gaze of Nicholas, Jocelyn answered the phone. "Is there something you need?"

Jocelyn approached her blind dates with the same consistent work ethic she applied to everything else.

Many of her previous blind dates had been scared off because of that, but the new one hadn't yet.

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, saying, "If I can only call you when there's something important, I'll have to think about my answer."noveldrama

Quickly, he continued, "I happen to be in Tudela right now. How about we grab a meal together?"

Jocelyn had initially thought that he wasn't interested in her, but to her surprise, he actually took the initiative to ask her out.

She didn't refuse. "All right."

"When will you be available? Can you make it at eight tonight?"

"Sure," Jocelyn responded simply.

"All right, I'll send you the options of the places I've booked in a bit. You can choose one." After that, he hung up.
