When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Exceptionally Exhausted 

In the end, Cecilia had no choice but to give up for the time being 

Perhaps due to the prolonged struggle, she was exceptionally exhausted and eventually succumbed to sleep. 

The following day, sunlight landed on their faces.

How unusual. I’ve never slept so well before. Nathaniel opened his eyes, looking down at Cecilia, who was curled up in his arms. His gaze, usually cold, softened remarkably at that moment. 

The air conditioning was turned on inside the room. Seeing her shiver, Nathaniel quietly reached out to fetch a jacket to drape over her. 

At that moment, Cecilia opened her eyes. 

Upon seeing Nathaniel’s gentle eyes, she blurted out, “Nathaniel.” 

Nathaniel was taken aback. 

Regaining her senses, Cecilia suddenly tumbled out of his arms, falling heavily onto the ground. 

She winced in pain, drawing in a sharp breath. 

Nathaniel watched her panic, swiftly pulling her up. “What did you just call me?” 

“What?” Cecilia decided to play dumb/ 

Seeing her like that, Nathaniel chose not to question further. 

He stood up, his words laced with sarcasm. “Ms. Smith, you really do have a knack for forgetting, don’t you?” 

Unlike the gentle gaze he had when he first woke up, his eyes held nothing but indifference at that moment, and his expression was even colder. 

Cecilia realized she had misjudged the situation as a hint of disappointment flickered in her 

eyes. 

Ever since she started attending university, Nathaniel’s demeanor drastically changed when he joined Rainsworth Group. He became particularly indifferent. 

He no longer possessed the gentleness he once had and became aloof. Moreover, he certainly wouldn’t go out of his way in the middle of the night to find her if she were bullied. 

At first, Cecilia thought that his increasing temper was due to the excessive workload and tremendous pressure from his job. 

However, later, she realized that his temper had always been like that. It was just that she hadn’t truly understood him when they were younger.

“Mr. Rainsworth, I treated you to dinner yesterday, so I won’t be escorting you home today,” said Cecilia. 

She was essentially driving Nathaniel away in a roundabout way. 

Nathaniel was not without a temper. “Are you sure you want me to leave?” 

Cecilia remained silent. 

Nathaniel’s countenance turned icy. “I’m asking you a question!” 

For reasons unknown, he found himself particularly annoyed when Cecilia ignored him. 

Seeing that he was upset, Cecilia spoke again. “That’s not what I meant. I just think that it’s about time for you to be at work. I won’t be going to the office today.” 

Her forced justification only served to make Nathaniel even more upset. 

After he left, he sat in the car, unable to find peace for a long time. 

From his perspective, Cecilia seemed to have turned into a completely different person. She was no longer the woman who couldn’t bear to see him upset, who treated him with such caution. 

Nathaniel opened the compartment in his car, intending to grab a cigarette. However, as he reached inside, he found it was completely empty.. 

The cigarettes he had others prepared for him beforehand had all been used up. 

Ever since Cecilia vanished, he developed that bad habit and also insomnia. 

Over the past five years, he often didn’t sleep until around three or four in the morning, and sometimes he even had to rely on medication. 

As he consumed more and more, his body developed a resistance, necessitating increased doses. Yet, his sleep quality continued to decline.
