When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1804

Chapter 1804 Cassandra Had It Tough
Cecilia finally understood the good intentions behind her granddad's actions.

She earnestly replied, “Grandpa, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself. I can't promise that I'll never be deceived, but I assure you I won't place all my hopes on others.”

Upon hearing her promise, Alphonse finally nodded in agreement.

“Alright, alright.” He patted Cecilia on the shoulder. “Seeing you like this, we can rest easy. Whatever happens in the future, you must tell me and your granny. We may be old, but we're tough and can handle a bit of trouble.”

“Alright.” Cecilia's eyes crinkled into a smile.

Alphonse had asked her to call over Nathaniel as well.

Just after managing to eat a bit, Nathaniel hurriedly headed toward Alphonse's study.

Initially, Cecilia had intended to accompany him and hear what Alphonse had to say. However, to her surprise, Alphonse asked her to leave.

She had no other choice but to wait outside.

After what felt like an eternity, Nathaniel finally emerged from Alphonse's study. As they retreated to their own room, Cecilia couldn't help but ask, “What did Granddad say to you?”

“It's nothing. He just asked me to take good care of you,” Nathaniel responded.

In truth, during their time in the study, Cecilia's granddad had issued him a stern warning. Alphonse had told Nathaniel that if he dared to betray Cecilia, he would face severe consequences.

Nathaniel listened in silence. Far from being upset, he was actually pleased for Cecilia.

Now, there were finally relatives and friends who genuinely cared for her.

“Is that all?”

Upon reaching the room, Cecilia was still somewhat puzzled. After all, her granddad and Nathaniel had been in the study for a long time.

She didn't even manage to listen to Nathaniel's reply when she heard the sound of the door being locked.

When Cecilia turned around, she was immediately swept off her feet by Nathaniel, who pressed her against the wall.

“Cecilia, I've missed you so much.” Nathaniel's voice was deep and magnetic, his breath becoming heated. Without another word, he sealed Cecilia's lips with a kiss.
