When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1260

Chapter 1260 Having A Chat
Cecilia further explained, “If not for Eli, I wouldn't have let you stay. So, you ought to behave yourself and sleep on the couch.”

Nathaniel knew she was still upset about what had happened last time.

“All right, I'll sleep on the couch,” he agreed without hesitation.

Only after this did Cecilia return to her bedroom. After freshening up, she laid down to rest.

Nathaniel found himself unable to sleep, sitting on the couch outside, watching as the light in Cecilia's bedroom switched off.

Cecilia didn't sleep well that night, perhaps due to the multitude of events that had transpired during the day.

During the late hours of the night, she was plagued by nightmares, mumbling in her sleep.

“Get out... Get out...”

Nathaniel had been lying on the couch, not sleeping at all. Upon hearing Cecilia talking while asleep, he immediately got up.

Fortunately, the door to Cecilia's bedroom was left open. He went to the bedside, taking hold of Cecilia's hand. “Ceci, what's wrong?” he asked.

In a daze, Cecilia tightly clutched his hand.

“Save me... Save me...”

In her nightmare, she was targeted by countless people. Unable to find a way to save herself, she had grasped onto a lifeline, and no matter what, she couldn't bring herself to let go.

Nathaniel tightly held her hand. “I'm here. It's okay. It's okay.”

Cecilia was roused from her sleep by her own sleep-talking. As she opened her eyes, she saw Nathaniel vigilantly by her side, still holding her hand.

She swiftly withdrew her right hand, reverting back to her usual indifference.

“Get out, now.”

This time, however, Nathaniel didn't heed her words. “I'm sleeping here.”

Cecilia's face instantly flushed a deep red. “Didn't I make myself clear? You're sleeping outside.”

“I can sleep on the floor, right next to you,” Nathaniel gently responded. “That way, if you have another nightmare, I'll be close by to comfort you.”

Initially, Cecilia wanted to say she didn't need it, but the contents of her dream flashed through her mind, and she no longer refused.

“All right, then.”
