When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 73 A Successful Launch

Compared to those outsiders, Nathaniel appeared significantly more composed.

Stella’s gaze fell back onto Cecilia. “Although my first love and I went through many twists and turns, and we didn’t manage to marry, I believe that we will eventually be together.”

This was essentially a veiled warning to Cecilia.

As the accompaniment began, Stella’s new song, “Ray of Light in the Dark,” started to play. The melody was graceful and deeply moving.

For some reason, as Cecilia listened, it felt strangely familiar. However, she couldn’t quite recall where she had heard it before.

–

“The melody is quite good. It’s just a shame that she ruined the song.” Nathaniel remarked slowly from beside Cecilia.

Cecilia was trying to recall where she had heard the melody before when her attention was pulled back by Nathaniel.

Although Stella started her career as a singer, her voice was not really that impressive.

Nathaniel looked at Cecilia and said, “I remember that you used to enjoy singing too.”

Had he not mentioned it, Cecilia would have nearly forgotten.

Perhaps it was her mother Paula’s influence, Cecilia had a keen sense for music from a young age. However, she had hearing impairment, a condition that was detrimental in the music industry. Nathaniel had chanced upon her humming a song once. She sounded great.

He thought that she would undoubtedly be famous if she were to sing the song.

Cecilia hadn’t expected that he would still remember her fondness for singing. Back then, he hated noises at home the most.

“Is that so? I can’t recall,” she responded.

Beneath the dim light, Nathaniel cast a deep gaze at her and asked, “Do you remember that Stella’s first love was me?”

His reason for coming this time was to observe how Cecilia behaved when confronted with Stella.

He didn’t believe that Cecilia would be indifferent to Stella’s words.

“You were the one who snatched me from her grasp.”

Nathaniel stared intently at her as he enunciated every word.

Nonsense!

Back then, he was the one who had broken up with Stella first. Only after their separation did Nathaniel’s and Cecilia’s families begin discussing marriage arrangements.

Such blatant distortion of truth stirred up a wave of indignation in Cecilia’s heart, but she couldn’t let it show. “Is that so? I may have hearing impairment, but I’m not short–sighted. Was my charm so lacking in the past that I had to compete with her for a man?”

Nathaniel’s expression turned slightly rigid.

“Do you think other men are better than me?”

Had there not been other people around, he would have definitely sought a thorough explanation.

Sensing that he was getting angry again, Cecilia decided to stop pushing. “I was just making a comparison, Mr. Rainsworth. Don’t overthink it.”

How could Nathaniel possibly not overthink?

When Cecilia returned, it was as if she had become a completely different person!

He wanted to say something more, but Stella had already finished singing her song.

Aside from hearing the first two lines of Stella’s song, he didn’t listen to the rest of it.

When the melody ended, everyone around began to applaud.

Though Stella’s singing was average, the melody of this new song was genuinely pleasing to the ears. It was notably better than all the songs Stella had sung before.

Some people had boldly predicted that the song would become famous as soon as it was released.

The launch of Stella’s new song was a great success.

Surrounded by the crowd’s flattery, Stella’s gaze inevitably fell upon Nathaniel. A sense of satisfaction was evident in her eyes.

At last, she proved once again that she was no less than Cecilia!

After the media left, Stella went straight to Nathaniel, In front of Cecilia, Stella’s eyes were full of pride.

“Nathaniel, I knew you would come. You never miss any of my important moments.”

As Cecilia watched this scene unfold, she couldn’t quite put her feelings into words.

Upon hearing Stella’s words, the classmates who were still present naturally assumed that Nathaniel had come for her.
