When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169 Keeping A Secret 

“Put me down, quickly,” 

Cecilia gave Nathaniel’s solid arm a pat, to no avail, and out of frustration, she gave him a pinch. 

Nathaniel gave a subdued hum, gently placing her on the bed. 

“Can’t you stay here a little longer with me?” 

Nathaniel also lay down, enveloping Cecilia in his arms. “Do you know, ever since I lost my sight, I’ve been particul of the dark? 

Afraid of the dark? Cecilia found it hard to believe. How could Nathaniel be afraid of the dark? 

Naturally. Nathaniel wasn’t afraid, but he also couldn’t concoct any other reason to make Cecilia stay. 

He knew that Cecilia had a soft heart. Hearing such words, she would certainly not be in a rush to leave. 

Indeed, it was true. Cecilia didn’t want to leave anymore. She believed that even the strongest of men had a vulnerable side. 

“Let me keep you company, then. Try to fall asleep quickly. Once you’re asleep, I’ll head back.” 

This statement was essentially a blessing in disguise for Nathaniel. 

Half an hour later, Nathaniel was still awake. Even after an hour, sleep continued to elude him. 

In Nathaniel’s embrace, Cecilia found herself succumbing to fatigue first. Within a short while, she had drifted off into a deep sleep. 

Suddenly, her phone began to ring. In order not to disturb her, Nathaniel took her phone and stepped outside to answer the call. 

“Mommy, why aren’t you back yet?” Elliot asked. 

Nathaniel’s lips parted slightly when he heard that. “Ceci is staying with me tonight. She’s not going back.” 

The magnetic voice resonated, leaving Elliot momentarily stunned before he exclaimed in surprise, “Sc’mbag daddy!” 

“Yes. It’s me 

“You didn’t turn into a fool?” Elliot was quite delighted. 

Nathaniel didn’t respond to him directly. Instead, he asked, “Do you know how to keep a secret?” 

Elliot nodded repeatedly. “I do. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone, not even Jon.” 

“That’s good. You should get some sleep. Don’t stay up too late!” 

Nathaniel then ended the call.. 

Elliot stared at the disconnected call, overwhelmed with relief. It turns out scmbag daddy is all right! 

Elliot could then rest easy, knowing that Cecilia was with Nathaniel. He no longer had to worry about her being alone, with no one to look after her. 

Elliot didn’t ponder over why Cecilia hadn’t returned. He simply covered himself with a small blanket and coaxed himself to sleep. 

The following day, when Cecilia woke up in the early morning, she saw Nathaniel’s magnified, handsome face. 

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she must be dreaming. 

However, when she opened her eyes again, Nathaniel was still there.

last night?” 

Finished 

Gradually, Cecilia came to her senses, recalling the events of the previous night. She had promised to stay with Nathaniel until he fell asleep, intending to leave afterward. 

However, she had unknowingly fallen asleep first.
