When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Silent Promises
Cecilia paused slightly. Then, she looked up at him and responded honestly, “I don't know. All I want right now is to take good care of my two children.”

Besides, she needed to reclaim what rightfully belonged to the Smith family. After that, once the twins in her belly were born, she could use the cord blood for Elliot's surgery.

Nathaniel's heart sank.

“If you still mind, let's...” Cecilia's words were cut off by Nathaniel before she could finish. “I don't mind.”

Did Nathaniel mean it?

How could he possibly not mind?

But if he said the truth, she would want to leave.

Nathaniel had never experienced such a humbling feeling as he did now. His hot breath fell on the top of Cecilia's head.

“It's cold out here. Can I carry you back to the room?” His voice was somewhat hoarse.

Cecilia shook her head. “No need, I can walk on my own.”

She wriggled free from his embrace and quickly walked away.

Nathaniel followed her at a leisurely pace.

Despite the snow, Cecilia didn't feel cold at all that day. Nathaniel was right by her side, his fingers tapping away on the keyboard.

He was unable to see, and all the tools he used were specifically designed for the blind.

As Cecilia was engrossed in her book, he would occasionally lean in closer to her.

Despite the ample size of the sofa, he insistently squeezed himself next to her, creating an impression of crowdedness.

“I'm going out for a walk.”

Cecilia rose to her feet.

Nathaniel gently grasped her hand. “Let's go together.”

“Aren't you working?” Cecilia asked, confused.

“Today is the New Year. There's no need to work.”

“All right then.”

Cecilia went to change her clothes. By the time she returned, she noticed that Nathaniel had put on the vibrant down jacket she had bought for him the last time. It made him appear much gentler.

She was stunned for quite a while.
