When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 205 Feeling Suffocated

Nathaniel’s keen gaze caught the hint of unease in Cecilia, but he chose not to press further.

Cecilia took a step back, dodging his intense gaze.

“I’m going to freshen up.”

She had barely taken two steps when Nathaniel immediately seized her hand. From behind, he embraced her, his breath heavy. “Let’s continue,” he said.

Cecilia stiffened.

Before she even had the chance to reject him, Nathaniel’s passionate kisses had already found their way to her face and neck.

“I don’t want to…”

Cecilia quickly held him back.

Nathaniel paused, taking deep, heavy breaths.

For reasons unknown, ever since his encounter with Cecilia, he found it increasingly difficult to restrain himself, growing more and more covetous.

“Why?” The man’s voice was hoarse.

Before she could even respond, he asked again, “If you didn’t want it, why did you come back to provoke me? What on earth do you want? Tell me! Anything I can offer, I’ll give it to you!”

Nathaniel had never felt as bewildered as he did now. He had people look into Cecilia’s past, learning about her work abroad, as well as her four to five years of cohabitation with Calvin.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Yet he didn’t know why she suddenly returned, or why she had come to his side.

His hold on her tightened, causing a raw pain on Cecilia’s shoulders.

“Let me go Nathaniel, however, refused to let go. He always had this lingering feeling that if he were to release his grip, she would vanish once again.

During their standoff, the doorbell from downstairs rang, interrupting everything.

Nathaniel changed his clothes and descended the stairs.

Elena was already waiting downstairs. Seeing him descend, she quickly approached him.

“Nathaniel, no matter what today, I need you to bring that child to meet me.”

A few days ago, upon learning that Nathaniel had brought a child home, she had sent people to investigate. However, Nathaniel’s confidentiality measures were so excellent that up to now, she had still not been able to find out about that child.

Upon learning her intentions, Nathaniel sternly stated, “The child is not mine.”

Elena was confused.

“What did you say?”

She had been longing for a grandson for such a long time, only to find out it wasn’t to be.

“Whose child is he then?”

She didn’t believe that Nathaniel would take care of someone else’s child for no reason.

Nathaniel pulled out a chair and sat down.

“That is none of your concern.””

Tears welled up in Elena’s eyes instantly. “What do you mean, none of my concern? I want a grandchild, be it a grandson or granddaughter! If you truly have the same issues as your younger brother, I’m willing to adopt.”

At the mention of his younger brother, Nathaniel’s expression instantly turned cold.

Upstairs, as Cecilia stepped out, she too overheard Elena’s words and couldn’t help but be taken. aback.

Nathaniel has a brother? Why wasn’t I aware?

Noticing that Nathaniel was upset, Elena dared not say more. Rising to her feet, she said, “I’m leaving now, please don’t disappoint me.”

Not long after she left, Nathaniel looked up to see Cecilia emerging.

Involuntarily, thoughts of the unborn child came to mind.

“Come here.”

Cecilia simply stood rooted to the spot.

Nathaniel watched her cold demeanor, feeling suffocated.

In the end, he rose and approached her. “Get changed, let’s go out.”

“Where are we going?”

“Haven’t you mentioned wanting to see the ocean?” Nathaniel asked, his voice heavy.

Cecilia didn’t expect that he would still remember.

While abroad, she resided in a place that was situated by the sea.

At that, Nathaniel pondered for a moment before suggesting, “Let’s go see the cherry blossoms then.”

He remembered how she would always chatter about wanting to visit Tidgate during the summer. However, after she married him, in the span of three years, except for coming to find him abroad, she never traveled anywhere else.

Cecilia looked out the window. “It’s autumn now, there are no cherry blossoms.”
