When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 481 When We Get Back

Back then, Nathaniel hadn’t met any mishaps, and Cecilia had left secretly.

Now that he was blind, he was shocked to know that she actually dared to tell him directly that she wanted to leave. Does she think that because I’m blind, I’ve become useless and can’t do anything to her?

Cecilia didn’t notice Nathaniel’s odd behavior. She lowered her gaze and said, “Didn’t we agree? You also promised to divorce me. I don’t want to be with you.”

Nathaniel tightened his grip.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Cecilia winced, drawing in a sharp breath. “It hurts.”

He immediately loosened his grip. “It’s a no from me.”

“I can offer you some compensation. I can help you repay a portion of your debt, consider it as recompense for the car accident previously,” stated Cecilia.

After all, when the car accident happened, it was Nathaniel who had shielded her, preventing her from getting hurt.

For the first time, he truly understood what it felt like to have his heart ripped apart, and that was happening to him right then.

“Who needs that compensation?” Nathaniel’s voice grew louder, nearly losing control of his temper.

“What do you want then? Just tell me, as long as I can do it… um-‘

Before Cecilia could finish her sentence, Nathaniel silenced her with a kiss.

Her eyes widened. She intended to push the man away, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t budge him an inch.

After returning home earlier that day, Nathaniel was worried Cecilia might run into any unexpected incidents, so he discreetly left a bodyguard to watch over her. Hence, he was aware that Nicholas had met with her.

Cecilia was getting breathless from the kiss.

She pounded on Nathaniel’s shoulders with all her might. The man loosened his grip slightly. allowing her to take in deep breaths.

“I want you,” he uttered in a deep voice.

Before Cecilia could react, he swept her into his arms and carried her into the room.

She was already frail by nature, coupled with the exhaustion from recent days, she was no match for Nathaniel.

He was acting very strange that day. Regardless of what she said, he wouldn’t stop, completely disregarding her words.

When everything had come to an end, his shoulders were marked with bite marks, and his back was covered in scratches. Cecilia’s mouth was filled with the metallic taste of blood.

Perhaps due to the frustrations and sorrow that had welled up in her heart, that night, she vented all her emotions onto the man.

Nathaniel suppressed his pain, holding her close, his fingers gently caressing her back.

Overwhelmed with exhaustion. Cecilia gradually fell asleep in his arms.

When she woke up again, the family was already on their way back to Tudela.

Gazing at the scenery whizzing past the window, she asked, “Where are we going?”

“Daltonia Villa.” Nathaniel held her in his arms. “I’ve already sent Eli there ahead of us.”

Cecilia looked up at him, only to find that a few scratches had marred his handsome face.

She reached out, feeling somewhat ashamed. She thought he would dod he didn’t.

her, but surprisingly,

“Sleep a bit more. If you’re still upset when you wake up, you can take it out on me when we get home.”

When we… get home?

Cecilia rarely heard anybody tell her that.

“Nathaniel, do you love me?” she couldn’t help but ask.

His throat tightened. “Of course. I love you, deeply so.”

Hearing that, she suddenly found amnesia to be quite fascinating, for the fact that one could. grow fond of someone they used to intensely dislike.

“But you used to really dislike me.”

Nathaniel didn’t know how to explain it to her. “I don’t dislike you not even a bit.”

She leaned against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

Only then did she realize how clear it was when one didn’t love someone, just as it was clear when one did.

Cecilia clutched the hem of his clothes. “What about your job after we get back?”

“I can just look for a new one.”

the day comes when you let me down. I won’t hesitate to leave.”
