When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1478 You Are Both My Sons

What Cassandra found even more unbearable was whe Nicholas said, "Do you know why I asked you to keep the child?"

Cassandra slowly shook her head. "Why?"

"I'm doing this to avenge Cecil Didn't you hurt her son I want you to know what.it feels like to have your child harmed!" Nicholas' face was contorted, looking every bit the devil himself. Cassandra was trembling all over, even though she didn't particularly care for Dahlia, Dahlia was, after all, her own flesh and blood.

"Nicholas, how could you do this?"

Up until now, she realized she hadn't truly understood him at all.

"Dahlia is still so young, don't harm her!"

"Do you even know what it means to care for a child?" Nicholas retorted.

After hearing this, Cassandra fell silent for a moment.

Nicholas saw that she had fallen silent, and he ordered someone to untie her. "Have you calmed down now?" he asked.

Cassandra no longer dared to defy him.

"Did Cecilia make you do this?" She was still in love with Nicholas, and could only deceive herself into believing that everything Nicholas did was instigated by Cecilia.

"Dare you mention Cecilia to me? If it weren't for you, she would still be with me!" Nicholas articulated.

"What's so great about Cecilia, a woman as fickle as the wind? She and Nathaniel already have four kids, why are you so insistent on pursuing her? How am I any less than her?" Cassandra questioned. Nicholas gripped Cassandra's throat. "What do you think? She's better than you in every way, and most importantly, she was originally mine. I'm going to take her back now."

In Nicholas' understanding, just like Orion Corporation, Cecilia should also belong to him.

Had it not been for his illness, had it not been for a twist of fate, he would have been the boss of Orion Corporation, and Cecilia would have been his wife.

Cassandra was momentarily at a loss for words, but it seemed as though she had also figured it out.

Perhaps, deep down, Nicholas didn't truly love Cecilia. He was simply rather obsessive, always yearning for things or people that he couldn't have. She was struggling to breathe, her face flushed with redness.

Nicholas released her.

Cassandra took in a deep breath. "You really are quite pitiful."

Not long after, Cassandra found herself unceremoniously left behind, the vehicle pulling away without her.

She watched as Nicholas' car disappeared into the distance, her vision blurred by tears.

How did she end up falling for someone like him? Nicholas was indeed an evil man.

Cassandra hobbled along, not spotting a single car in sight. She had no choice but to rely on her own two legs to make her way back.

After Nicholas returned, he learned from Elena that Cecilia had been brought back by Nathaniel.

"Thankfully, Cecilia was unharmed; otherwise, the four children would have lost their mother. It's too late now, but tomorrow we'll take Lucas and Gabriel to visit her."

"There's a major issue at the company. What exactly happened?" she asked. "Weren't you always managing it? You're busy every day-how could Robert and the others have taken over so easily?" She didn't continue with what she was about to say next, fearing it might hurt Nicholas' pride.

Nicholas had initially planned to leave, but he abruptly halted, turning back to look at Elena.

"Mom, if you had to choose between Nathaniel and I, who would you pick?"

Elena was taken aback. "What kind of silly question is that? You are both my sons, I love you both equally, how could I possibly choose?T

Nicholas chuckled softly.

"I'm going to the office."

Once he finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer and left without another word.

Gazing at his retreating figure, Elena felt a pang of worry. Without hesitation, she pulled out her phone and dialed Nathaniel's number.
