Chapter 1432 I Was Too Hasty

"What's the matter?" Nicholas asked.

After taking a sip of water, Cecilia finally said, "I want to go out and find a job."

Throughout the year, she had been living off Nicholas's money and still needed it for her treatments. Now that her health had greatly improved, she felt strong enough to venture out and make a living.

She didn't want to rely on Nicholas for everything, burdening him with the pressure.

She had assumed that Nicholas would agree without hesitation. However, after a brief silence, he asked, "Why the sudden desire to work? Is there something you want to buy or need? Just tell me, and I'll take care of it for you." ""It's not that."

Immediately, Cecilia shook her head. "The money you gave me is more than enough. I just want to rely on myself and not bother you with everything."

"How can you call it a bother? I would never consider you a nuisance." With that, Nicholas put an end to the conversation. "Alright, let's eat. We can talk about work next time."

Surprised that he had turned her down, Cecilia didn't force the issue and buried her head in her food.

After they had finished their dinner, Cecilia spent her time lounging on the sofa, engrossed in a book. These days, her life consisted of nothing more than household chores, reading, and watching television. It was utterly mundane. Nicholas, unbeknownst to her, had arrived behind her at some point. He said, "Ceci."

"Hmm?"

Cecilia looked up at him.

Nicholas met her clear eyes, his throat subtly shifting.

He reached out, his large palm gently landing on the side of Cecilia's face.

Cecilia was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Nicholas remained silent, his fingers gently tracing the contours of Cecilia's face. Then, he leaned in toward Cecilia, his entire body curving forward.

Watching Nicholas' face come closer, Cecilia couldn't help but feel nervous, and her heartbeat quickened even more.

In a fluster, she quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at Nicholas.

As Nicholas' lips were about to meet hers, Cecilia inexplicably turned her head away.

The kiss from Nicholas landed on the side of her face.

He froze for a moment, then his large hand found its way to her chin, compelling her to look straight at him.

"Ceci..." he softly murmured her name, his voice resonating with a magnetic charm.

Cecilia didn't dare to meet his gaze. "I, I'm a bit tired. I'm going upstairs to rest."

She swiftly avoided Nicholas' hand, heading toward the room upstairs.

Once back in her room and lying in bed, Cecilia felt the turmoil in her heart rage non-stop.

They were both adults, so she obviously knew that Nicholas had intended to kiss her just now.

She was clearly fond of Nicholas, yet when he drew near, her body instinctively wanted to pull away. Cecilia lifted her hand to touch her burning cheek. "You fool."

I have been fond of Nicholas since

my childhood, so how could it be that this age, I'm suddenly afraid

Moreover, Nicholas was her boyfriend, so a kiss was perfectly normal. Cecilia pulled the blanket over her head, trying to calm herself down.

At that moment, a knock echoed from the door.

"Ceci, open the door," came the voice of Nicholas.

Cecilia felt a bit flustered, but she nonetheless pushed back the covers and rose from the bed. She made her way to the door and opened it.

The moment she opened the door,

Nicholas swiftly drew her into hist

embrace, bending down to kiss her once again.

As Cecilia became breathless, she found herself reaching out to stop him. "What's wrong?"

Nicholas hadn't expected her to reject him, his eyes filled with confusion.

Cecilia lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. "I... I'm a bit nervous."

Upon hearing the words, Nicholas broke into a faint smile as he gently embraced her. "Sorry, I was too hasty," he apologized.
