When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1895 Play The Matchmaker

Cecilia listened quietly, realizing Magnus still wasn't getting to the point. She finally said, "I'm about to get off work. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang

up."

"Wait, Cecilia, hang on! I just wanted to ask if you could maybe do me a favor." Magnus rushed his words, clearly worried she'd hang up on him.

"What kind of favor?" she asked.

"Well, you know how I recently started a company with some help from my brother-in-law? A while ago, I met someone while meeting with a client..." Magnus chose his words carefully. "She's really attractive, and I've been thinking, I'm not getting any younger. I was wondering if you could help me set something up between us."

Cecilia hadn't expected to hear that Magnus had developed feelings for someone. Over the years, he'd dated plenty of women, but none of it ever seemed serious. This time, though, his tone felt different-more genuine.

"Who is she?" Cecilia asked.

"Her name's Chelsea Rainsworth. She's from one of the Rainsworth family's branch lines. You know her?"

The name did ring a bell. Cecilia thought for a moment. When Niel passed, that girl had shown up. If she remembered right, Chelsea was the granddaughter of Niel's brother, which made her Nathaniel's cousin.

But Cecilia couldn't recall what she looked like.

"I've heard of her, but we're not close," Cecilia answered honestly.

"Can you help me, then?" Magnus asked quickly.

"I can ask around."

Magnus' face lit up over the phone. "That's great. Thanks, Cecilia!"

"But let me make this clear," she added. "I'll ask on your behalf, but I'm not promising anything."

Cecilia knew full well that, with Magnus' background, getting involved with someone from the Rainsworth family wouldn't be easy.

Magnus replied immediately, "I trust you, Cecilia."noveldrama

Once the call ended, Cecilia gathered her things and left the office. Nathaniel was already waiting for her outside. "I thought I said you didn't have to pick me up?” she asked, a bit surprised.

Nathaniel opened the car door for her and said, "Didn't have anything else going on after work."

She got in and, as they pulled away, asked, "Are you close to Chelsea?"

"Chelsea?" Nathaniel thought for a second. "Why are you asking about her? We're not that close."

Chelsea was his grandfather's brother's granddaughter, but she hadn't spent much time at Rainsworth Manor as a child. He'd only seen her a few times in the past year.

Cecilia told him about Magnus' request.

Nathaniel stayed quiet for a moment after hearing it.

"Ceci, Chelsea's parents will never agree to a marriage with someone like Magnus." After thinking about it more, he said, "Her family's pretty well-known in Tudela. I've heard her parents have been trying to set her up for blind dates. But with Magnus' situation, he wouldn't even be considered."

It was exactly what she thought.

Cecilia didn't say anything right away.

Seeing her go quiet, Nathaniel

assumed she was upset. "If you

really want to help him, I can speak with her parents for you." If Nathaniel stepped in, Chelsea's parents would likely show some respect.

But Cecilia quickly shook her head. "No, there's no need for that."

Nathaniel looked puzzled.

She explained, "I already told Magnus I'd only ask around. I never said I'd make it happen. Please don't talk to her parents. It'd just make things awkward for them."

She knew what kind of person

Magnus was. Maybe he was

behaving for now, but people could change in a blink. If things ever went wrong, she didn't want Nathaniel caught in the middle. And if Magnus ever hurt Chelsea, it'd be on her as well.
