Chapter 1846 A Confession
“That's settled, then,” Cecilia said, her eyes filled with warmth.
With a serious expression, Calvin nodded firmly. “Yes. It's a deal.”
The plane was about to take off soon, and Calvin could no longer afford to delay. He bid them farewell.
“See you next time.”
“All right. Bye.” Cecilia waved him goodbye, and the weight in her heart eased considerably.
Aside from the times in their childhood when she had helped Calvin, Calvin was always the one helping her after they had grown up.
Since she had become somewhat capable, she could finally be of assistance to Calvin.
After watching Calvin's figure disappear, Nathaniel gently supported Cecilia's shoulder, saying, “Let's go back.”
“All right.” Cecilia nodded, and they left the airport together.
Outside, at some unknown point in time, a light rain had begun to fall.
The driver brought over two umbrellas. Carefully, Nathaniel held one over Cecilia as they walked side by side toward the vehicle.
As she walked, Cecilia glanced at the sky before turning her gaze toward the bustling crowd.
She wasn't wearing her hearing aid then, yet she could hear everyone's voices very clearly. That sensation truly felt incredible.
Suddenly, Nathaniel came to a halt. “Ceci, there's something I need to talk to you about.”
Cecilia also came to a halt, looking at him with confusion. “What?”
Nathaniel lowered his head. “I love you.”
He spoke in a hushed tone, but Cecilia still heard him.
Cecilia couldn't help blushing. “Oh, you...”
There were quite a few people around, which made Cecilia a bit shy.
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
Nathaniel chuckled lightly. “I'm not sure. I just suddenly felt like telling you.”
“Sure.” Cecilia nodded. “I l-like you too.”
“Like? Is that it?” Nathaniel intentionally probed further.
Cecilia felt a bit embarrassed. “Well, what else can it be? I simply like you.”
“Okay. That works,” Nathaniel stated sincerely.
Cecilia wrapped her arm around his, and at that moment, they were just like any ordinary couple.
As they sat in the car, it didn't take long before the day turned into night.
Nathaniel looked at her with a touch of pity. Earlier, she said she liked him. At that moment, she was pushing him away for the sake of others.
“All right, then.”
Nathaniel was feeling down.
“I'll be with you tonight,” Cecilia said softly.
A glimmer flashed across Nathaniel's eyes. “Remember your words.”
“Of course!” Cecilia promised.
Only then did Nathaniel leave, a smile finally gracing his features.
Others watched the interaction between the two and felt somewhat jealous.
Zachary even looked at Vivian and said, “Vivian, can't you learn from Cecilia?”
Darren glanced toward Madeline. Before he could speak, Madeline turned to look at him.
“We're an old married couple. It's different,” said Madeline.
Darren then silently withdrew his gaze.
The room was teeming with people. A few men stood there, not really knowing what to say, so they decided to step out.
