When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1579 Not My Daughter

"Something has happened to Dahlia. She's passed out. When are you free?" Cassandra sobbed.

Nicholas' expression turned icy when he heard those words. "She's not my daughter, why should it concern me?"

Upon hearing these words, Cassandra felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

"But you asked me to keep her." She had thought that having a daughter would make Nicholas treat her better.

Little did she expect her daughter to turn out to be a tool for Nicholas' revenge upon her.

The reason was simple-she had drugged him back then.

"Instead of rambling on, you might as well take the child to see the doctor now," Nicholas said, hanging up the phone.

Meanwhile, Jocelyn was still standing by his side.

Although Jocelyn had no idea what Cassandra had said, Nicholas' reply had left her feeling disheartened.

""Mr. Nicholas, is Dahlia unwell?"

She's such a well-behaved child. It's a pity she isn't given the attention she deserves.

Nicholas nodded. "Mmm-hmm."

"Is she okay? Should we go check on her?" Jocelyn asked, trailing behind Nicholas. She had seen Dahlia a few times and found the latter to be adorable and beautiful. "Jocelyn, she's not my biological daughter, so you don't need to concern yourself with her in the future," Nicholas responded with utmost calmness.noveldrama

Upon hearing his words, Jocelyn was completely taken aback.

However, she didn't show any reaction outwardly, simply nodding in acknowledgment. "Okay."

"By the way, has Yannick reached out to you recently?" Nicholas asked again.

Jocelyn shook her head. "No."

She didn't tell the truth. In reality, Yannick had sought her out a few times, but she had consistently turned him away.

"If he dares to bother you or mistreat you again, you must tell me," said Nicholas, finally feeling at ease.

Jocelyn nodded. "Yes."

"Alright, you can leave now."

"Okay."

Jocelyn stepped outside, and just at

that moment she saw another message from Yannick: Jocelyn, when I first sought you out, it was indeed because of Nicholas. But now, promise that's not the case. Is there really no chance for us to go out again?

Upon seeing the message, Jocelyn remained silent for a long time before eventually deleting it without replying.

She was well aware of the kind of soulmate she was looking for.

She didn't yearn for a man from a prestigious background; all she desired was one of good character. After marriage, she was content to live a simple life.

At that moment, Yannick was by

Calvin's side Seeing that Jocelyn was not responding to him, he

rubbed his temples in frustration et

"Calvin, why is it so hard to appease a woman when she's angry? he asked.

Seeing that Yannick truly had feelings for Jocelyn, Calvin couldn't help but remind him, "If you truly have feelings for her, then be more sincere in the future." "But she never gave me that chance," Yannick retorted in frustration.

In this regard, Calvin couldn't provide him with any further advice.

He lit a cigarette. "We're not getting any younger. If you have someone you like, seize the opportunity. Don't end up like me, letting her slip out of your hands."

Seeing his exceptionally gloomy

demeanor, Yannick couldn't help but

ask, "How has Cecilia been doing recently heard her mental state isn't great. Seems like it has

something to do with Nicholas."

"She's fine." Calvin didn't like talking about Cecilia, something Yannick had also realized.

He stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll go find Jocelyn."

Regardless, he was determined to confront her and get some answers.

Throughout his life, he had never been treated with such indifference by a woman before.

A light drizzle started to fall outside. When Jocelyn stepped out to grab a bite, she bumped into Cecilia, Lucille, and a few others who were out shopping.

"Ms. Wright, it's been a while," Charlotte greeted her first.
