When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1600

Chapter 1600 Yannick Is A Better Choice 

Nicholas stepped outside and got into the car. 

Jocelyn was also in the car. Puzzled, she asked, “Mr. Nicholas, how come you’re back so soon?” 

Nicholas‘ plan had been to meet with Elena to discuss a potential collaboration with the Griffiths family. 

Nicholas pinched the bridge of his nose. “There’s no need to talk to her. She’s always favored my older brother. It’d be better to reach out to Mr. Blaine instead” 

Jocelyn didn’t argue. “Okay.” 

In her memory, Elena had treated Nicholas just as well as Nathaniel. She couldn’t understand why he held such a misconception. Without further comment, she instructed the driver to head toward the Griffiths residence. 

Blaine was known for his peculiar temperament and ruthless nature. Whether he would agree to collaborate with Nicholas remained uncertain. 

Nicholas, however, was in no rush–he held leverage over Blaine. 

With his eyes closed, he tried to rest, but sleep evaded him. His thoughts were consumed by images of Cecilia and her family. 

That blissful, harmonious life should have been his. 

But now, it belonged to Nathaniel. 

Nathaniel has everything. Why does he have to steal my woman? 

He clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white. 

At that moment, Jocelyn’s phone began to ring. Seeing that Nicholas had his eyes closed, she chose not to answer. Yet, the phone persisted, ringing again moments later. 

Without opening his eyes, Nicholas said casually, “It’s fine. Go ahead and take it.” 

“All right.” Only then did Jocelyn pick up the call. 

“What’s the matter, Grandma?” 

“Yannick knows he was wrong, Jocelyn,” the old lady’s voice carried a feigned severity. “You’re not getting any younger. You can’t keep throwing tantrums like a child. It’s time to take him back.” 

Jocelyn felt drained and impatient. “Grandma, he and really aren’t a good match. Please, stop trying to set us up.” 

“Every time, it’s the same excuse.” The old lady’s tone grew more anxious. “Then tell me, who is a good match for you? I’ll pursue them on your behalf!” 

In their circles, Jocelyn’s current age was considered well past the prime for marriage. The gossip never stopped–whispers about how she remained single despite her background.

Chapter 1600 Yannick Is A Better Choice 

Finished 

everyone. 

Jocelyn fell silent, unsure how to respond. She didn’t know who she’d be truly compatible with–nor did she fully understand what compatibility even meant. 

“Just don’t worry about it,” Jocelyn said. 

“Is it your boss?” the old lady suddenly asked. 

For a moment, Jocelyn was stunned, forgetting to reply 

The elderly lady didn’t hear a response from her granddaughter, and instantly understood what it meant. “Is it really him? I know that he’s married. You foolish girl, a man like him is simply not worthy of you.” 

Jocelyn quickly lowered the volume on her phone and turned her gaze toward Nicholas. His eyes remained closed, his face devoid of any expression–seemingly asleep. He probably hadn’t heard a thing. At least, that was what she told herself. 

What she didn’t realize was that Nicholas had heard every word. 

The sound from her phone wasn’t as quiet as she thought. Even without the speaker on, he could hear it clearly in the silence of the car, especially given their close proximity. 

But Nicholas chose to act otherwise. He kept his eyes shut, maintaining the illusion of sleep. He didn’t want to risk unsettling the delicate balance between them–not yet. 

“Grandma, stop talking nonsense, I’m hanging up now. Jocelyn ended the call immediately. 

Her heart pounded in her chest, and she couldn’t help but call out to Nicholas, “Mr. Nicholas.” 

Nicholas did not respond. 

Only then did Jocelyn relax. 

Before long, another message from her grandmother popped up on Jocelyn’s phone: Jocelyn, don’t make the wrong choice. I don’t think Nicholas is up to any good. Yannick is a better choice. He may be clumsy with his words, but he has a good heart. At your age, it’s time you find someone to marry. The longer you keep avoiding it, the harder it’ll be -and I won’t be able to rest in peace! I worry about you, living all alone. Just tell me what you’re looking for, and I’ll help you find it. 

The messages kept coming, one after another, relentless and full of concern.
