When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 670

Chapter 670 We Are Even
Cecilia didn't resist any further. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She spoke as if she was addressing Nathaniel, yet it also seemed like she was talking to herself.

“Even now, I still can't understand why she hates me so much. I used to think she didn't like daughters and was a cold-hearted person, but do you know what I saw today? I saw her enduring the discomfort of her illness to deliver a handbag to Cassandra. Even after hearing Cassandra expressing her dislike for her, she pretended that it didn't happen. Behaving so humbly is so unlike her at all!”

Nathaniel tightened his grip on her hand. “You have me.”

Cecilia looked back at him. “Are you not angry anymore?”

“We're even now, all right?” Nathaniel asked.

“Even?”

“I've treated you coldly for three years, and you've been gone for five years with our child. Can we call it even?” asked Nathaniel in a serious tone.

Cecilia felt a sudden lump in her throat as she turned around and embraced him.

When she took the initiative to embrace Nathaniel, he felt as if his whole body was frozen, his blood turning to ice. Slowly, he lifted his arms, holding her even tighter.

He held himself back, gently kissing the center of her forehead. His Adam's apple moved slightly.

“Promise me, if anything comes up in the future, you'll tell me instead of just leaving, okay?”

Cecilia didn't respond. She lifted her head, kissing him by the neck.

Nathaniel's body stiffened. Unable to control himself, he unleashed the desire within him.

The following day, after finishing his breakfast, Elliot found it odd that his parents hadn't woken up yet. He was about to knock on their door to rouse them when the housekeeper stopped him.

“Eli, don't bother Mr. and Mrs. Rainsworth. They had a late night yesterday.”

The reason the housekeeper knew was that from her quarters, she could see whether the light in their room was on.

After hearing this, Elliot lowered his voice. “Madam, did Mommy and Daddy sleep together last night?”

The housekeeper nodded. “Yes, only one bedroom light was on. While cleaning today, there was no one in the other room.”

After returning home last night, Elliot fell asleep early, forgetting to invite his parents to join him.

He felt a twinge of regret, not having anticipated that his parents would end up sleeping together.

Sleeping together every day, the two of them...
