Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy

Chapter 2290

Rebecca glared at Hendrix angrily. Nicholas replied calmly, "It has not been long since we met each other."

Cecilia ate quietly. The servant put lots of food on her plate, but she didn't eat much.

When Rebecca heard that they had just met, she felt even depressed as it seemed like she was slightly late and allowed the other women to take the lead. She had long known that Nicholas was a man with self-cultivation. Although he seemed to be cold and aloof, he was easy going. He was gentle and slightly domineering. He was the perfect man.

She did not want to lose such a man to anyone.

"Mr. Ling, I'm done eating, I would like to head back first."

Cecilia felt the strong hostility of Rebecca and she didn't want to get involved and be bothered by it.

"You only ate so little. Won't you get hungry later?"This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Nicholas frowned. Was she too embarrassed to eat more because her sister was not around?

Cecilia thought to herself, "I have no appetite now. It doesn't mean I won't eat anything else later. Of course, I won't let myself starve."

"Let me send you back."

Nicholas put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"Ah, there's no need. I don't want to bother Mr. Ling. I can go back by myself. I'm already familiar with the route."

Cecilia was surprised and said in a panic tone.

"It's no trouble. Let's go."

Nicholas walked to her side and took her wrist.

Cecilia felt as if her body was electrocuted by a warm current. Nicholas held her wrist out of courtesy. Although there was a cloth between them, the warmth of his palm can still be felt by her skin.

Nicholas insisted on walking her back so she had to follow his instructions. She followed him and walked out of the hall.

Rebecca's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that Nicholas would personally walk that blind woman home.

"Hendrix, what's going on? What's their relationship?

Why is he so nice to her?"

Rebecca was really jealous. They had known each other for a long time but she had never touched his clothes, let alone hold his hands. "We met her on the plane. Mr. Nicholas took her in due to sympathy. You also saw that she couldn't see so she needed someone to help her. Mr. Nicholas only helped her out of kindness."

Hendrix also frowned as it was unusual for Nicholas to offer kindness to a woman. But just now, he did take the initiative to help Cecilia.

Could it be... it couldn't be that Nicholas had fallen for this blind girl right? Nicholas was surrounded with plenty of excellent girls, why would he fall for her?

Rebecca was already biting her utensils with hatred, staring at the outside of the door.

The reason Nicholas offered to walk Cecilia home was not because he liked her, but because he could feel Rebecca's passionate eyes staring at him at the dining table just now.

Nicholas would never fall in love with Rebecca. He was only polite to her because she was Hendrix's cousin. But just now, it was too unbearable that he needed an excuse to leave the table temporarily.

It was dark, and the street lights were on. The warm yellow street light made the night more peaceful.

There was a distance from the restaurant to Cecelia's residence, it would take around 10 minutes by walking. The garden path was curved and there were some branches sticking out blocking the way. Nicholas would clear the path for her. Everything looked so natural.

Cecilia continued to pretend to be blind. But her heart was moved whenever Nicholas cleared the branches out of her way. She subconsciously frowned.

This man... he couldn't possibly be this kind and gentleman to all girls, right?

Thinking of this, Cecilia turned sideways to see Nicholas's face with the corner of her eyes.

Under the dark light and shadows, Nicholas's facial features were extremely handsome, prominent and sharp, full of masculinity.

Cecilia felt as if her heart had been stabbed by something as she developed an inexplicable feeling.

To be honest, she hadn't seen many

good-looking men. As for those famous male stars, they were like embroidered pillows in her eyes, and she could forget them at a glance.

But the man beside her gave her a very different feeling. He was young, handsome, and had an outstanding temperament. His eyebrows gave off a domineering and fierce vibe. He might seem to be an easy going person, but in fact, he was not

someone to be trifled with.

Cecilia complained in her heart hoping that Nicholas was a jerk. That way, she would not feel guilty about killing him.

"Be careful."

Just as Cecilia was lost in her

thoughts, she accidentally kicked a

stone beside her. She heard

Nicholas's reminder, but it was too late. She felt the sharp pain from her toes instantly and she groaned subconsciously.

"Are you okay? It's all my fault. I should have warned you earlier."

Cecelia heard Nicholas blaming himself.

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt."

Cecilia shook her head and endured the pain.

"Look at your face. You look like you're in great pain."

Nicholas could tell that she was being tough with herself, he couldn't help but chide her.

"The fall I had before was much more painful than this. My leg has long been numb, I don't feel much pain now. It really doesn't hurt." Nicholas's eyes froze and he stared at her face for a few seconds, unable to picture how much pain she had suffered trying to survive.

"Mr. Ling..." Cecilia called out softly, pretending to be uneasy.

Cecelia felt a little nervous as Nicholas was looking at her.

It was said that Nicholas had a pair of sharp eyes and could see through many tricks. Would he not realize that she was pretending?

Or, he had already seen through her and was cooperating with her acting.

"I'm here."

Nicholas shifted his gaze away.

He felt a little pain in his heart as he looked at her face. What was wrong with him?

Why did he suddenly become so kind?

There were plenty of poor people worldwide, but why was he empathetic towards her?

"Let's go on. How far are we to my residence?"

Cecilia purposely moved a few steps forward and asked casually.

"We're almost there."

Nicholas suppressed those sudden thoughts and reached out to hold her arm. He was being extra careful that time.

He was surprised to find how slender her arms were and he didn't dare to exert force.
