Chapter 1503 Sleep Together
As time ticked by, Cecilia and Nathaniel visited numerous ces 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 Tud,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 thiste. 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 ce wasn''t like the Smith residence.
Inside the Smith residence, even the bedrooms had ample space, enough to amodate 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 rtionship 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 ce is quite remote. I''m notfortable with you sleeping alone on the couch. The bed in the bedroom isrge. If you don''t feelfortable, I can ce a nket between us. Would that be all right?" He was acting as though he was cating 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 nket, positioning it in the middle of the bed, and then each of them took another nket for themselves.
Only after Nathaniel had settled down for the night did Cecilia finally get to bed. She wrapped herself tightly in the nket, 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, Nichs seldom visited her. Living alone in the vast mansion, she would asionally hear noises from outside, which would particrly 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 shey in bed, her sleep was light.
Perhaps it was the weight of the umted 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.
Nathaniely 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, cing it on Cecilia''s nket. "Don''t be afraid. It''s okay, Once morninges, we''ll go back."
Cecilia watched as he ced 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 dreand.
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.
