When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423 Building Snowmen
All of a sudden, Nathaniel asked, “Do you want to build a snowman?”

He recalled how she used to love the snow even in summer, delighting in building snowmen as if she were a child. At the time, he had often found her childish antics a bit irritating.

Cecilia hadn't anticipated his suggestion to build a snowman. A fleeting glint of nostalgia crossed her eyes. “No, it's too cold outside. Besides, it feels too childish to play with snow.”

Words caught in Nathaniel's throat when he heard that.

“I need to rest now. You should go,” Cecilia said as she walked back in from the balcony.

She had expected Nathaniel to resist leaving, just as he had the previous night. To her surprise, he left quietly and without fuss.

Relieved that she didn't have to force him out, Cecilia locked the door behind him and barricaded it with whatever was handy.

Once she settled into bed, she quickly drifted off to sleep.

When Cecilia woke up the next morning, the snowfall had lessened considerably, and sunlight streamed through the window.

As she drew back the curtains and prepared to freshen up, she was met with a delightful surprise: countless charming little snowmen scattered across the snowy landscape.

Cecilia, with wide eyes, opened the floor-to-ceiling window and stepped out onto the balcony. Below, she was stunned to see Nathaniel in the midst of building a snowman.

Her emotions were a swirl of surprise and curiosity as she descended the stairs and walked through the snow. “What's all this about?”

“Building snowmen,” Nathaniel replied, his lips barely moving as though this was the most ordinary thing in the world.

Cecilia knew well that the man he used to be would have absolutely despised this.

Just as she was about to respond, a black Lincoln appeared in the distance.

She recognized the license plate; it belonged to Rainsworth Manor.

The car came to a halt, and the door swung open. Elena's secretary stepped out, momentarily taken aback by the sight of the yard filled with snowmen.

Regaining her composure, she scanned the surroundings before her eyes settled on Cecilia and Nathaniel. To her surprise, she saw Nathaniel still engrossed in building another snowman, which left her visibly shocked.
