Chapter 257 Consequences Await For Bullying Cecilia
Natalie turned around and realized that it was her best friend, Cecilia.
It was the first time that Natalie met Cecilia since they parted ways in the Todd residence.
“Natalie, is your right arm okay?”
“It’s only a minor injury.” Natalie smiled and said, “I can handle it on my own.”
“Sure. I always know Dr. Nichols is the top female doctor in the universe.” Cecilia said, “When I wanted to visit you, I was told Samuel had picked you up. I didn’t contact you right away, for I wasn’t sure who he was to you.”
At that moment, Cecilia paused for a while and asked, “Well, what kind of relationship are you and Samuel in?”
“We’re more than friends but not yet lovers.” Natalie took a sip of her glass of wine and continued in a deep voice, “It’s not his problem but mine. Since I’m still carrying a lot of burdens in my heart, I can hardly accept him without sorting them out.”
Cecilia understood the pain that was buried in Natalie’s heart.
If Cecilia and Natalie were to exchange their lives, Cecelia thought she probably couldn’t stay alive like Natalie.
“What about you? Why are you at Susan’s birthday party?”
“I designed the clothes for Ms. Leister. Since the Leister family invited me, I have to attend the party.”
“Is that so?” Natalie scanned Cecilia from head to toe and said, “You design more than twenty sets of clothes every year. Besides, I rarely saw you attend parties before. I wonder if Andrew attends the part tonight.”
Initially, Cecilia was stubborn and refused to admit to it. After a while, she couldn’t hold it and smiled bitterly.
“Natalie, I really can’t hide any secrets from you.”
“Andrew is here with Rosalie tonight.” Cecilia said bitterly, “I know I’m spineless, for I was only a tool used by Andrew to provoke Rosalie.”
“He was just toying me, yet I love him…”
Natalie wasn’t with Cecilia when everything happened but only heard parts of the story from Yandel.
“Cecilia, do you want me to recommend some men, who are a hundred or even a thousand times better than Andrew, to you? If the first man isn’t suitable, you can check out the next until you’ve finally found one.”
As Natalie spoke, she followed Cecilia’s gaze and saw a couple in the crowd.
The lady resembled Cecilia a fair bit, yet her eyes seemed to be gentler. Besides, she looked pitiful and obedient when standing beside the handsome man.
At that moment, a hint of sadness surrounded Cecilia’s eyes. “Natalie, I don’t need so many men to forget him. After the madwoman from the Todd family abducted me, I think Andrew should have known it. However, he had never looked for me. Apparently, my life and death are not important to him.”
Cecilia paused for a while and continued, “To him, Rosalie is his everything. On the contrary, I’m only Rosalie’s elder and half-sister who has a carefree life.”
“Cecilia-”
“Hence, after escaping from the Todd residence, I have lost all of my hope in him. I’ll forget him and ensure that I’ll never love him again.” Cecilia blinked her eyes to get rid of her tears.
“Sure. Get rid of the man out of your mind entirely.”
Natalie hugged Cecilia tightly and gently patted her shoulder many times.
Meanwhile, Andrew’s gaze inadvertently fell upon Cecilia.
Natalie could tell that Andrew was concerned about Cecilia. Nonetheless, she immediately gave Andrew an angry sideways glance as she was protecting her friend. Andrew quickly moved his gaze away as though his thought was exposed. At that moment, Natalie knew that he felt guilty.
Unfortunately…
Deep down, Natalie had decided to let Cecilia squash all hopes in Andrew.
All the more so, Natalie wanted Andrew to regret and bear the consequences of bullying Cecilia.
