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

Chapter 423 Building Snowmen

All of a sudden, Nathaniel asked, “Do you want to build a snowman?”

He recalled how she used to love the snow even in summer, delighting in building snowmen as if she were a child. At the time, he had often found her childish antics a bit irritating.

Cecilia hadn’t anticipated his suggestion to build a snowman. A fleeting glint of nostalgia crossed her eyes. “No, it’s too cold outside. Besides, it feels too childish to play with snow.”

Words caught in Nathaniel’s throat when he heard that.

“I need to rest now. You should go,” Cecilia said as she walked back in from the balcony.

She had expected Nathaniel to resist leaving, just as he had the previous night. To her surprise, he left quietly and without fuss.

Relieved that she didn’t have to force him out, Cecilia locked the door behind him and barricaded it with whatever was handy.

Once she settled into bed, she quickly drifted off to sleep.

When Cecilia woke up the next morning, the snowfall had lessened considerably, and sunlight streamed through the window.

As she drew back the curtains and prepared to freshen up, she was met with a delightful surprise: countless charming little snowmen scattered across the snowy landscape.
