Chapter 324 Old Habits
Late at night, after ensuring Martha was resting, Cecilia went to her room and lay down. She hadn’t been asleep for long when suddenly, she felt a hand wrap around her from behind. “Ceci,” a voice whispered.
Nathaniel had somehow entered her room. One hand held her firmly, while the other rested on her lower abdomen.
“Nathaniel, what are you doing!”
De losing his memory, Nathaniel hadn’t lost his old habits, especially his tendency to slip
into other people’s rooms uninvited–a habit he clearly hadn’t forgotten.
Nathaniel hadn’t planned on touching her, particularly considering her early pregnancy, made any such action unthinkable.

But as he remembered the clandestine meeting between Calvin and Cecilia, and Mason’s words, Nathaniel’s thin lips found their way to the back of her ear.
His hot breath sent a shiver down Cecilia’s spine. “Nathaniel, you wouldn’t dare!” she protested, trying to sound firm.
The man paused, his breath still against her ear, before earnestly whispering something. The words made Cecilia’s eyes widen in shock.
Within moments, her face flushed a deep red, her cheeks burning like a ripe apple. “I don’t need that!” she snapped, quickly covering her mouth with her hand, worried that Martha might overhear from the next room.
The room was completely dark, and yet, under the faint light reflecting off the snow outside, Cecilia could just make out Nathaniel’s broad, muscular upper body. She realized with a jolt that he wasn’t wearing any clothes..
“Get out… now,” she stammered, her voice trembling with fear and urgency.
Nathaniel paused again, leaning even closer to her ear. “If you ever need something, tell me in private. Don’t go looking for other men,” he whispered, his tone possessive.
“Get out of here, now!” Cecilia demanded, pulling the blanket tighter around herself and curling up under it.
As Nathaniel finally left, she noticed the fading bruise on his waist, a mark she had left on him–a reminder of how she had once thought that the amnesiac, blind Nathaniel was at her mercy. But now, she realized that dealing with Nathaniel after his memory loss was proving to be far more challenging than she had anticipated.
Before his amnesia, Nathaniel had been rebellious and untamed, always exuding an air of superiority as if he were doing others a favor just by being present. Now, without his memories, he was utterly shameless.
As she was about to get out of bed, a message from Calvin caught her eye: Are you free this afternoon? Want to come with me to see Eli? He texted me saying he wants to meet.

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him
Thank you 😊 for the work...
Save us the distress from waiting or we are opting for others...
Hi, good morning Could you please send more chapters? To much books reading and I always forgot the story when it comes. All characters have the same name ( Cecilia, Nathaniel, Madaline, Fabian… )and lots of the names are similar in the same story, so I got confused when I don’t have all story already written. If at least you can send 10 chapters a day…. This story is as good as Mission to Remarry I can’t wait for finish it. But let’s have a great finish and a final chapter with one year of deepest love development. Thank you! Please,please, please!!!!...
What's going on? Why so few chapters?...
This chapter is completely useless!...
Why all chapters are not until the end? The new ones are never the continuation of the previous one. Also, Could you please do not use the "swnovel.net" as a water mark on the paragraphs? I use a listening device and those paragraphs are not readable....
More chapters, please 🙏...
What's going on? Is not Cassandra married? What is she doing in her mother's House?...
Waiting for more chapters...
Thank you for the update and anticipate more. Love Elliot in this novel the most <3...
