When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2035

Miranda’s face darkened immediately; she stopped asking Adrian to serve her.

From the corner of her eye, she saw that, even with dishes right in front of Cecilia, Nathaniel still reached over to serve her.

Whenever Cecilia merely glanced at a dish, Nathaniel placed the food on her plate.

A pang of envy pricked Miranda’s heart. Why was her own husband neither as capable nor as considerate?

Her dissatisfaction with Adrian deepened; she longed to divorce him on the spot.

“Cecilia, you really are blessed.”

Cecilia looked up and smiled. “Aren’t you blessed too, Miranda? Or is Adrian treating you badly?”

Miranda shook her head quickly. “Of course, not. I was just chatting. Cecilia, don’t twist what I said. I only said you’re blessed; I never said I’m not.”
