When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2153

2153 /2155

Phoebe sighed. "It's not that I mind him being poor, but different families and different social classes mean different values and outlooks on life."

She continued, "Right now, she's infatuated with him, but once the honeymoon phase is over, she'll realize the differences between the two of them."

Phoebe then turned to look at Cecilia. "Ceci, you agree, don't you?"

Cecilia's face stiffened. Why are you asking me?

"Yeah, the large gap in their statuses can indeed lead to conflict later on," Cecilia said.

She then quickly changed the subject. "However, I think if two people truly love each other, they should be able to overcome all obstacles."

She had agreed with both sides, careful not to offend Chelsea or Phoebe.

Frankly, Cecilia didn't know how Chelsea and Jason had gotten together.

From what she remembered, they were having problems last year.

Phoebe sighed upon hearing Cecilia's comment. "No matter what, I won't approve of Jason. He's just after our family's money."

Elena laughed. "If you break them up, won't you have to worry about Chelsea's marriage again?"

Phoebe was rendered speechless. That's true. Chelsea's not young anymore, so it's time for her to get married. If she delays any longer, it'll be difficult for her to have children later. Besides, Kingston and I are getting old; we won't be able to look after her forever.

Unsure of what to do, Phoebe sighed repeatedly. Then, she laid her gaze on Cecilia again. "Ceci, Chelsea likes you the most. She always sees you as her role model. Please talk some sense into her. We have so many eligible rich bachelors of the same class here. She can pick anyone she wants, so why must she be with Jason?"

To Phoebe, Cecilia was smart.

Back then, the Smith family had been nothing special, and yet Cecilia did everything in her power to marry Nathaniel, reaching far above her station. That took both brains and courage—qualities Phoebe prayed might rub off on her own daughter.
