Chapter 195 The Room


    Upon hearing this, Cecilia lifted her hand to gently pull Nathaniel closer. She then embraced him, nting a tender kiss on his lips.


    She had thought that would be the end of it, but Nathaniel set down his breakfast, his hand finding the back of her head as he deepened their kiss.


    For reasons unknown, even though they were engaged in the most intimate act, he couldn’t detect any hint of emotion in Cecilia’s eyes.


    Consequently, he bit down on her lift in indignance.


    In pain, Cecilia furrowed her brows tightly. She wanted to push him away, but he firmly held her hand.


    In retaliation, she bit back at Nathaniel, only ceasing when her mouth was filled with a metallic


    taste.


    Nathaniel was breathing heavily, hisrge hand cradling her face. “Look at me,” he implored, “say my name again.”


    When Cecilia looked up, she saw his bitten lip, seductively red.


    “Nathaniel.””


    Her eyes were calm and undisturbed, no longer reflecting the passion she once had for him.


    A pang of emotion seized Nathaniel, with a hint of redness surfacing in his eyes. Without hesitation, he swept Cecilia off her feet.


    Despite her resistance, he ced her on the couch.


    “Say my name!”


    Cecilia couldn’t figure out what was going on with him. He was gentle one moment, and behaving otherwise in the nest. His mood was truly unpredictable.


    “Nathaniel!”


    A single, indifferent utterance, devoid of


    any emotion.


    Nathaniel listened, his heart feeling as though there was a knot in it.


    He didn’t say anything else. Instead, he just picked her up and carried her back to the room.


    Once the deed was done, their breakfast had turned cold.


    Nathaniel initially wanted to send someone to buy it again but was stopped by Cecilia.


    The room had a microwave. After heating up breakfast, the pair ate their meal and noticed the vors had changed.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Suddenly, Cecilia understood what Nathaniel had previously meant by starting over.


    Just like this breakfast, once it had cooled down, even if it was reheated, it no longer tasted the same as before.


    After having breakfast, Nathaniel drove Cecilia back to the ce where she had spent her Childhood, doing it as if he knew the way like the back of his hand.


    The surroundings of the dpidated brick house had been meticulously tidied up. Devoid of any weeds or fallen leaves, it looked as if it was inhabited.


    While Cecilia was taken aback, a neighbor noticed their car.


    As she stepped out of the car, her neighbor couldn’t help but express her surprise. “Ceci! Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”


    Before Cecilia could react, Nathaniel had already exited the car from the other side, addressing the neighbor.


    “It was all a misunderstanding.”


    Having said that, he took the lead and headed toward the house.


    Cecilia was somewhat curious about how he got to know the neighbors there.


    She offered a polite smile to thedy neighbor, then followed Nathaniel inside, where everything was tidy and spotless.


    “You seem to know this ce well?” she asked.


    Nathaniel paused, turning his head to look at her. “Because I knew you would return.”


    Unbeknownst to Cecilia, during the days of her absence, Nathaniel would often drive alone to this ce, hoping to see her again.


    Over time, he had arranged for someone toe over and clean up.


    Cecilia gazed at his stern profile. “Why? What if I had really died?”


    Nathaniel’s thin lips were tightly pressed together, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.


    “Didn’t you say you felt indignant? How could you bear to die?”


    How could I bear to die?


    A bitterugh echoed in Cecilia’s mind. She stepped forward, murmuring under her breath, “You’re really confident.”


    She felt that her past self was too submissive, which gave Nathaniel the wrong idea, making him


    At first, Nathaniel indeed thought so, but now his certainty was wavering, which was why he brought Cecilia there.


    “Let me show you something,” he said.


    Nathaniel led her toward a bedroom. As they reached the door, he pushed it open.


    When everything within the room came into view, Cecilia’s eyes welled up with tears.


    She stood there for a long time, filled with disbelief.
