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

Chapter 670 We Are Even

Cecilia didn’t resist any further. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She spoke as if she was addressing Nathaniel, yet it also seemed like she was talking to herself.

“Even now, I still can’t understand why she hates me so much. I used to think she didn’t like daughters and was a cold–hearted person, but do you know what I saw today? I saw her enduring the discomfort of her illness to deliver a handbag to Cassandra. Even after hearing Cassandra: expressing her dislike for her, she pretended that it didn’t happen. Behaving so humbly is so unlike her at all!”

Nathaniel tightened his grip on her hand. “You have me.”

Cecilia looked back at him. “Are you not angry anymore?”

“We’re even now, all right?” Nathaniel asked.

“Even?”

“I’ve treated you coldly for three years, and you’ve been gone for five years with our child. Can we call it even?” asked Nathaniel in a serious tone.

Cecilia felt a sudden lump in her throat as she turned around and embraced him.

When she took the initiative to embrace Nathaniel, he felt as if his whole body was frozen, his blood turning to ice. Slowly, he lifted his arms, holding her even tighter.

He held himself back, gently kissing the center of her forehead. His Adam’s apple moved slightly.
