When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1520 Nicholas Stalks Jocelyn

Nicholas sat in the car, his eyes fixed on Jocelyn as she shared a meal and conversation with a man he didn't recognize.

After having someone take a photograph, Nicholas proceded to investigate Yannick's identity. It wasn't long before the investigator called. "Sir, this Yannick is the eldest son of the Hayes family, and also a close friend of Calvin."

Yannick Hayes?

Nicholas furrowed his brow. I was wondering why he looks familiar. Turns out he's indeed connected to someone I know.

Given his knowledge of Jocelyn's humble background, he was surprised that she would have any connection to the prestigious Hayes family.

Nicholas' eyes narrowed slightly. For a moment, he was tempted to ask Jocelyn if she knew about Yannick's identity.

Nicholas sat in the car for a long time, waiting. It wasn't until the two finished their meal and were about to Heave that he instructed the driver to pull away.

Jocelyn had intended to pay the bill, but Yannick had already taken care of it. She felt a bit embarrassed. "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you?"

Although Jocelyn could afford the meal on her assistant's salary, the cost was equivalent to her entire monthly wage. Yannick hadn't expected her to be so considerate. "No need," he replied with a smile. "You can treat me next time we eat. Now you owe me two meals."

Jocelyn, not one to overthink things and having never been in a relationship, simply nodded. "All right. Next time, make sure you let me treat you."

"Mmhm." Yannick regarded her serious demeanor, a little taken aback by her straightforwardness.

After watching Jocelyn until her car disappeared from view, Yannick called for his own private vehicle.

At his age, it was time to consider marriage, and his grandmother had recommended Jocelyn as a suitable match, praising her virtues and her lack of materialistic tendencies.noveldrama

He had dressed plainly that day, merely to observe Jocelyn's reaction. She had passed the test effortlessly.

Yannick picked up his phone, unable to resist sharing his thoughts with Calvin.

"Calvin, do you know who the woman I was set up with is?"

Calvin, in the middle of his work and too busy to guess answered straightforwardly, "Who?"

"Nicholas's assistant, Jocelyn," Yannick replied.

Calvin was momentarily speechless. "If you're serious about getting married, then stop playing games. You're not planning to marry her, are you?"

Finished

After all, the disparity between their social statuses was vast. Even if they were attracted to each other, the elders of the Hayes family would never approve of such a match. Moreover, Calvin knew Yannick well. As a man notorious for his playboy lifestyle, Yannick could never settle down with an ordinary woman. His interest in Jocelyn was likely driven by curiosity-especially since she was Nicholas' assistant. "Calvin, are you actually starting to lecture me now?" Yannick said, recalling all that Calvin had done for Cecilia.

Calvin, understanding the underlying implication, responded, "Right now, I only see Cecilia as a very important friend." Yannick couldn't hide his astonishment. "You've

finally come to your senses."

He had always thought that Calvin was stubborn, especially for insisting on pursuing a woman who was already married.

Calvin glanced outside, observing Cecilia as Eric persistently tried to convince her to have lunch with him. Calvin furrowed his brow before finally speaking, "There are some things-and people-you just can't force." "Now that's more like it," Yannick responded, sensing the shift in tone.

Calvin, no longer interested in continuing the conversation, hung up the phone. He stood up and walked outside.

The day was drawing to a close, and Cecilia had little to do, so she spent the evening working overtime at the office with Madeline and the others, keeping them company.

Eric set aside his work, frequently approaching Shia to chat. Thankfully, Nathaniel was at Imminence Corporation, unaware of his actions.

"Ms. Cecille, could you take a look at this sheet music for me? Is there anything I need to improve?" Eric asked, trying to strike up a conversation. "You can review it later. We could go over it during dinner-my treat." Just then, Calvin stepped forward. "Let me take a look for you," he said, interrupting the exchange.
