When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 135 Held Captive

Cecilia hadn’t expected him to be so forthright.

Recalling the past few instances where he ended up stopping halfway after she initiated contact, she didn’t express the same urgency as before. “Is this really a good idea?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Nathaniel leaned in closer to her. “We’re still married. What’s wrong with that?”

As he spoke, he simultaneously began to undo his bathrobe.

Involuntarily, Cecilia turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

When Nathaniel observed her shyness, a slight movement in his throat betrayed his reaction.

“Don’t worry, I won’t touch you.”

Cecilia froze.

It was just as she suspected.

“If you prefer sleeping here, I’ll take the guestroom.” She then turned to leave.

Since she couldn’t have it, there was no need for her to stay.

Nathaniel swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled her forcefully. She ended up falling heavily into his arms.

Cecilia wanted to get up, but he firmly held her in his embrace.

“Don’t move, from now on you’re sleeping here too. I can’t sleep alone.”

Since the time Cecilia left, he had been plagued with insomnia. He had consumed a plethora of medications and even consulted with a psychiatrist, but to no avail.

It was only after she returned that he could manage to fall asleep with her in his arms.

Cecilia was somewhat in disbelief when he said that.

“You better keep your promise.”

“Yes.”

Cecilia lay on one side, deliberately using a blanket to create a barrier between the two of them. After closing her eyes, she recalled the doctor’s advice before she returned to Tudela.

The doctor explained that after a man became unconscious, his awareness would essentially be completely lost. If she wanted to achieve her goal, she couldn’t allow him to lose consciousness want to see a big castle, a really big one…”

As Elliot spoke, he simultaneously used his hands to illustrate his point.

The housekeeper in her twenties was completely smitten by his adorable actions.

“All right. I will build you a castle now. Wait a moment. I saved a video tutorial of building a castle earlier. I’ll use that as a reference.”

As the young housekeeper simultaneously watched the video and learned from it, Elliot quietly watched her.

Once she was completely captivated, he quietly slipped out the door from behind her.
