When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2140

Looking at the disconnected call, Nicholas felt his mood plummet instantly.

However, he didn't leave.

Inside the company, Jocelyn thought Nicholas had left, so she packed up and headed out as usual when her shift ended.

Before she left, Yannick had sent her a message: I'll come pick you up.

Jocelyn replied: It's okay. I can go back by myself.

She was used to doing things by herself. Even after spending considerable time with Yannick, she still couldn't get used to being so cared for.

Smiling, Yannick sent: Refusal denied. I'm already waiting downstairs at your office. Come out quickly.

His message made Jocelyn feel at a loss, but she didn't write anything else in reply.

Yannick was always like that, taking action without telling her about it in advance. She had gradually gotten used to it.

As Jocelyn stepped out of the building, she looked around for Yannick's car, but a figure walked toward her before she could find it.

"Jocelyn." Nicholas' face was very pale, and he looked emaciated. Even his gait was unsteady, which was likely a lingering effect of his drunkenness.

Jocelyn was startled to see him, then she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still here?"

A long time had passed since he called me. Has he been waiting here all this time?

"I want to talk to you face-to-face," Nicholas enunciated.

Jocelyn didn't want to talk to him anymore. "There's no need for us to talk. I've made it very clear that there is no chance of us getting together."

Nicholas' Adam's apple bobbed. "I don't believe that you don't like me. Otherwise, why did you take me to the hospital?"

Jocelyn's face was ice-cold. "Because you were once my boss. I would have been kind enough to take anyone else to the hospital as well."

At her words, Nicholas' eyes reddened, and he suddenly grabbed her arm. "I don't believe it!"

Cecilia betrayed and left me, so why is Jocelyn, who has always stuck by me, leaving me, too?
