When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1624

Chapter 1624 We Have Apprehended Everyone
As dusk swiftly approached, it was accompanied by a gentle drizzle.

At first, the rain was light, but as time went on, it gradually grew heavier.

Nathaniel had prepared a quilt, but in the end, he found it more convenient to sleep in a sleeping bag.

Cecilia hid under the quilt, listening to the rumbling thunder outside, feeling a bit scared.

However, she dared not show it, especially with Jonathan lying next to her.

Jonathan knew that Cecilia was terrified of thunder. He reached out and patted Cecilia's sleeping bag. “Mommy, why don't you sleep with me?”

“Huh? Why?” Cecilia asked, puzzled.

“How about sleeping with me? I'm a bit scared of thunder,” Nathaniel said.

Jonathan had wanted to say the same thing, but he beat her to it.

He shot a somewhat infuriated glance at Nathaniel.

Cecilia was surprised. “You're afraid of thunder?”

“Yeah, but just a little.” Nathaniel's deep voice trembled, giving the impression that he wasn't lying.

Cecilia was also afraid.

She was rather naive, believing that everyone had their own weaknesses. Despite Nathaniel's wealth, power, and abilities, he must have had some hidden flaws too.

Perhaps being afraid of thunder was one of them.

“It's okay. There's no need to fear the thunder. You'll be fine once you fall asleep,” said Cecilia.

As she engaged in conversation, she didn't feel as scared anymore.

Seeing her like this, Nathaniel realized that his plan had failed.

Feeling disappointed, he tentatively asked, “Would you like to come a little closer?”

Cecilia moved her sleeping bag, just enough to lean against Jonathan.

Jonathan's heart was overflowing with joy.

Nathaniel asked calmly, “Jon, you're not afraid of thunder, are you?”

Jonathan didn't give it much thought. “Of course not. How could a boy be afraid of thunder? Don't worry, I'll protect you all.”

“Then why don't you sleep on the side to protect us?” Nathaniel suggested solemnly.
