When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 189 The Next Step

After a long while, she shook her head. “I don’t hate you.”

That was the truth.

Upon hearing her words, Nathaniel held her even tighter, his large hand resting on her face, gently caressing it.

It was only now then that he could truly feel that Cecilia still belonged to him.

He took hold of Cecilia’s nape with one hand and leaned in for an assertive kiss.

Regardless of her intentions at the moment, he desired her that night.

Cecilia noticed his change and seized a moment of rest to say, “I’m a bit scared; can we have a drink first?”

“Alright.”

Facing her dewy–eyed gaze, Nathaniel struggled to control himself, his voice hoarse.
