When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1727 Have A Meal

Inside the study room.

Niel pleaded earnestly, "Nathaniel, Ceci, you must understand me. As an elder, we always want the best for the younger generation. If a younger one is not doing well, the elder would naturally want to lend a hand."

His words were somewhat amusing.

When Nathaniel first took over the Rainsworth family business, he was targeted several times and nearly lost his life on a few occasions. Yet, Niel did not lift a finger to help.

Nowadays, the reason why Niel was so patient in his explanations was due to Nathaniel's own capabilities.

"Grandpa, that's your personal wealth. You have the right to give it to whomever you wish. We respect your decision," Nathaniel stated, emphasizing each word.

Niel knew he was not convinced in his heart, and pleaded with him, "Nathaniel, no matter what, Robert is your uncle, and Adrian is your cousin. You must not harm them."

He was also aware of the clandestine activities that Robert and Adrian were involved in behind the scenes.

Nathaniel didn't immediately agree with him. Instead, he stated, "I won't trouble others unless they trouble me first."

"You..."

Niel had summoned them today with the intention to mend their strained relationship. He feared that after his death, his son, Robert, would encounter trouble.

"Consider this a plea from me. Don't harm your family," he implored.

Nathaniel's narrowed eyes flashed with an unusual expression. “Are you done speaking? If so, let's go."noveldrama

He took Cecilia's hand, and they headed out.

Left with no other options, Niel summoned Nicholas next.

Nicholas and Niel had a long conversation, the duration of which was unknown. When they walked out, their expressions were complex.

He stepped outside, where Robert greeted him with a hearty laugh, patting him on the shoulder. "Nicholas," he said, "from here on out, we're family. Adrian will be like an older brother to you."

Nicholas gave a fake smile. "We're just partners, Uncle Robert. Don't overthink it."

He briskly walked away.

A cold glint filled Robert's eyes as Adrian approached him. "Dad," he began, "Nicholas is nothing but a weakling. We've been working with him for so long, yet he hasn't achieved anything substantial. Maybe it's time we cut ties with him."

Adrian was afraid of Nathaniel, and he was equally terrified of that face which was the spitting image of Nathaniel's.

Robert looked at him coldly. "What do you know? I just want to see those two brothers tear each other apart!"

Nicholas ventured outside, opting not to return to rest, but instead, he headed toward his car.

At that moment, his assistant,

Jocelyn, was still there, sitting in the

passenger seat. She was busy responding to clients' messages while simultaneously replying to Yannick.

When Nicholas walked over, he noticed the message notification.

His eyes immediately noticed a message on the screen: Grandma says to take some time off to settle the marriage matters.

Nicholas' deep-set eyes narrowed slightly, as he pretended as if he hadn't seen anything. He casually opened the car door and got in.

"Mr. Nicholas."

Upon seeing him, Jocelyn immediately closed her laptop.

"It's quite late, and yet here you are accompanying me. I appreciate your effort," Nicholas said slowly.

Jocelyn shook her head. "It's nothing, Mr. Nicholas. Shall we head back to the company now?"

"I won't go back. Let me take you home," Nicholas said.

Jocelyn was puzzled. Hadn't Nicholas mentioned returning to the office to handle some work before he left?

Nicholas instructed the driver to start the car.

Soon, he thought of something. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let me take you out for a meal."

"But haven't you already had your meal? I'm fine. I can just grab

something to eat at the Vol

the residential area later," Jocelyn responded nonchalantly.

Nicholas felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart. "I had dinner at home, but I'm

still hungry."
