When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Finished

Chapter 1503 Sleep Together

As time ticked by, Cecilia and Nathaniel visited numerous places that day, stirring up a myriad of faded memories within her mind.

In the night, the two of them finally returned to their rural dwelling.

Cecilia was feeling a bit regretful. "It's already past ten. If we head back to Tudela,now, we won't arrive until the early hours of tomorrow morning."

Nathaniel's expression remained unchanged. "Why don't we just stay here for the night? It's not safe to drive this late. Besides, going back would only disturb their sleep."

He knew Cecilia was always considerate of others, and as he expected, Cecilia agreed. "All right then. We'll rest here tonight. Is it convenient, though?"

"Of course, it's convenient." Nathaniel was eager for some alone time with Cecilia.

Cecilia referred to having two rooms as convenient, while Nathaniel was saying one.

When Cecilia discovered there was only one room, she suggested, "I'll just sleep on the living room

couch."

That place wasn't like the Smith residence.

Inside the Smith residence, even the bedrooms had ample space, enough to accommodate a couch. After hearing that, Nathaniel didn't hesitate. "Then I'll sleep on the couch with you."

Upon hearing that, Cecilia blushed. "Maybe we shouldn't. Let's sleep separately."

Even though she started to recall some fragments of their past, she still didn't want her relationship with Nathaniel to progress too quickly.

Naturally, Nathaniel would not forcefully go against her wishes, but he was also not keen on sleeping in the bedroom alone.

"This place is quite remote. I'm not comfortable with you sleeping alone on the couch. The bed in the bedroom is large. If you don't feel comfortable, I can place a blanket between us. Would that be all right?" He was acting as though he was placating a child. Cecilia hesitated for quite a while. The sound of the wind howling outside was somewhat unnerving.

She nodded. "All right."

Nathaniel quickly grabbed a blanket, positioning it in the middle of the bed, and then each of them took another blanket for themselves.

Only after Nathaniel had settled down for the night did Cecilia finally get to bed. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, slowly closing her eyes.

Nathaniel suggested, "Do you want the lights off?"

"Can we leave it open?" asked Cecilia.

When she heard Nathaniel's warning of danger, she felt a flicker of fear.

During the year she spent abroad, Nicholas seldom visited her. Living alone in the vast mansion, she would occasionally hear noises from outside, which would particularly frighten her.

"All right," Nathaniel responded thoughtfully.

Only then did Cecilia peacefully drift off to sleep.

Outside, the fierce wind was howling, and the heavy snow continued to fall.

During the day, Cecilia slept in the car, and when she lay in bed, her sleep was light.

Perhaps it was the weight of the accumulated snow on the power lines that the lights suddenly went out.

Startled, Cecilia immediately opened her eyes, trembling with fear.

"Mr. Rainsworth, have you gone to sleep?" she called out softly.

Nathaniel lay on one side, utterly unable to sleep. The scent wafting over from Cecilia's side was all that filled his senses.

"No. Is there a problem?"

"Um, it's nothing really. I just wanted to say the power's out," Cecilia said, her voice trembling slightly with fear.

Nathaniel also picked up on it. He raised his hand, placing it on Cecilia's blanket. "Don't be afraid. It's okay, Once morning comes, we'll go back."

Cecilia watched as he placed his strong arm in front of her. She didn't reject him.

"All right." She felt a bit relieved and once again closed her eyes to sleep.

Nathaniel watched Cecilia gradually drifting into a dreamland.

The following day, when Cecilia opened her eyes, she realized that she had unknowingly fallen asleep in Nathaniel's arms.

She was just about to remove Nathaniel's hand when he unexpectedly woke up.
