When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 1350 Someone Is Following You

Once they were back in the car, Cecilia turned to Nathaniel, puzzled. "When did you buy this mall? How come I never knew?"

The other two women in the car were still full of admiration for the day's events, marveling at how much free clothes they had gotten. Sadly, Madeline had missed the outing due to having to work late.

"I bought it privately when I was still with Orion Corporation. I'd almost forgotten about it myself," Nathaniel explained.

Indeed, he had forgotten. Back then, he had purchased a considerable amount of assets.

Lucille couldn't help but laugh in awe. "I've heard of people forgetting clothes they've bought, but an entire shopping mall? That's on another level. Being a tycoon definitely has its perks." Nathaniel chuckled at the remark. Knowing how to curry favor with Cecilia's friends, he tactfully suggested, "If you want to go shopping again, just ask Mason to accompany you."

Lucille's eyes brightened instantly. "Really? That's amazing. Thanks, Mr. Rainsworth!"

Charlotte, equally thrilled, added, "Thank you!"

In that mall, they could buy everything from luxury cosmetics and skincare to the latest fashion. That day's outing had been an unforgettable experience for both women.

Charlotte suddenly turned to Cecilia, squeezing her hand. "Boss, you should seriously consider remarrying Mr. Rainsworth soon. I read somewhere that you need a marriage certificate to register for a birth certificate before the baby is born." Lucille nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it sounds like it's a bit complicated. You should have handled it already, Cecilia."

Nathaniel smirked, knowing that his strategy to win over Cecilia's friends was working well.

Cecilia sighed upon seeing how easily swayed her friends were. "It's fine. People manage just fine without all the paperwork."

The two women were immediately concerned, exchanging worried glances. They clearly didn't know how to convince her otherwise.

Watching the scene unfold, Nathaniel's thoughts drifted back to Zachary's advice from earlier.

Could making Cecilia feel guilty really work? But how?

Meanwhile, Madeline had been working late into the night. As she finally wrapped up her tasks and left the office, she didn't notice the car parked not too far away, where someone was watching her closely.

Calvin, who had also finished for the night, spotted the car trailing behind Madeline. Concerned, he drove up beside her. "It's late. Let me take you home," he offered.

The main reasons were twofold.

Firstly, it was to ensure that a young girl wouldn't be exposed to danger while traveling alone late at night. Secondly, it provided him with an opportunity to visit Cecilia.

Madeline was taken aback. "That's really not necessary, Mr. Reese, but thank you."

But Calvin's expression grew serious as he lowered his voice. "Someone's following you."

At his words, Madeline's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly got into his car. "Thank you," she whispered.

Glancing in the rearview mirror, she saw the suspicious car trailing behind them.

"Did you upset someone?" Calvin asked, keeping his eyes on the road as he headed toward the Smith residence. Madeline shook her head. "No."

I haven't been here long enough to make enemies.

"Strange," he muttered. "From now on, make sure to leave with Ceci when it gets this late. Just to be safe." "Will do. Thanks again."

Madeline couldn't help but feel that Calvin was a genuinely good person. His offer to help her get home safely warmed her heart, but it also sparked a deep worry inside her. If something bad were to happen to her what would become of Amelia?

That fear lingered in her mind as she glanced out the window, unaware that the car following them was none other than Darren's.

Darren, watching from the other vehicle, felt a wave of disbelief and anger wash over him as he saw Madeline step into a luxury car. His expression darkened, his jaw clenched tightly. "Find out who owns this license plate," Darren ordered his assistant, his voice low but seething with frustration.

"Yes, sir," the assistant replied immediately, beginning the investigation without hesitation.

Darren's fury grew with each passing second. He had thought Madeline was just being dramatic, but now it seemed she had already moved on to someone else.

He continued trailing Madeline.

Meanwhile, Calvin, though a skilled

driver, noticed something odd. No matter what turns or detours he took, the car behind them stayed on their tail. It was as if the driver knew exactly where they were headed. His suspicion deepened, and his

concern for Madeline grew.

As they neared the entrance of the Smith residence, Calvin made a quick decision. Without warning, he made a sharp U-turn, positioning his car directly in front of the vehicle that had been following them.

Darren's driver, caught off guard by the sudden maneuver, couldn't brake in time. The screeching sound of tires filled the air, and for a moment, it seemed like a collision was inevitable.
