"What?" Adrian was incredulous, then spat disdainfully. "That shameless woman! She used to act so pure
and noble. I really thought she was virtuous. And Nathaniel? Isn't he supposed to be so capable? Why doesn't he dare do anything about his own brother?"
Adrian's face twisted with rage. The fact that something he couldn't obtain was now in someone else's possession particularly irked him.
Miranda observed the changing expressions on his face, fully aware of the unsavory thoughts running through his mind.
She no longer cared.
"Hubby, I know you've always wanted her. I'm willing to help you."
Adrian stared at her in shock but pretended not to understand. "Darling, what nonsense are you talking about? You're the only one I love.
Watching him feign ignorance, Miranda felt a wave of disgust.
"I know you love me, but I also understand that you want Cecilia. I don't want to fight and bicker like other women. I just want to see you happy."
Her eyes were filled with sincerity.
Adrian, far from a virtuous man, was instantly intrigued. "Darling, you're too kind, but that woman Cecilia
is way too pretentious. She'd never agree to anything. Besides, if Nathaniel finds out, won't he break my legs?"
Miranda knew he was a coward.
"Hubby, you're so naive. The only reason Cecilia wouldn't agree is that she's afraid you'll talk. But if I
mediate, I guarantee she'll be yours tonight."
"Really?" Adrian's face lit up with excitement.
"Of course it's true. Just make sure you're all cleaned up and ready tonight," Miranda told her.
Adrian nodded eagerly. "Okay, it's a deal."
He left, rubbing his hands in glee.
Watching his back, Miranda deeply regretted marrying him.
Still, with Felix in the picture, she had to plan for his future.noveldrama
At ten in the morning, the family gathered for the memorial, followed by casual mingling.
For the rest of the day, the Rainsworth family relatives would stay at the Rainsworth Manor for meals and socializing.
CecĂlia accompanied Nathaniel, who introduced her to the extended family members one by one.
"I don't remember all of them..." Cecilia admitted, feeling a bit disheartened.

"It's fine. You'll remember in time," Nathaniel reassured her gently.
"Right."
Cecilia nodded.
Just then, a man approached Nathaniel-it was Blaine.

After glancing briefly at Cecilia, Blaine turned to Nathaniel and said, "Nathaniel, can we talk privately?" Nathaniel already knew that Blaine had been mingling with Nicholas recently.
He informed Cecilia before stepping aside with Blaine.
As they walked away, Blaine chuckled at him. "Nathaniel, you've really changed. Afraid of your wife now?"
Nathaniel remained unbothered by the teasing in his tone. "It's not fear. It's love."
Blaine, notorious for his sinister reputation, had been married multiple times, with each wife meeting an untimely demise.
Even Jessica, who had relentlessly pursued Nathaniel, had perished because of him.
So when he heard Nathaniel talk about love, it sounded to him like the biggest joke. "I never thought I'd
hear this from you, Nathaniel. A man like you, actually falling for a woman. You better be careful-I might steal your business while you're distracted."
"Go ahead. If you can take it, it's yours."
The two cousins exchanged jabs, one after the other.
Meanwhile, Cecilia found a quiet corner to sit in. With nothing to do, she pulled out her phone and started scrolling aimlessly.
"Ceci." A familiar voice echoed above.
