When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1666 Was It Miranda

He lowered his head, about to kiss Cecilia.

Cecilia's pupils widened in shock as she immediately covered her mouth with her hand. Nathaniel's kiss landed on the back of her hand instead.

The two of them locked eyes, and the surrounding air seemed to heat up.

Nathaniel raised his hand, ready to pry her hand away.

"No!" Cecilia quickly protested. "I-I think I might remember now."

Nathaniel gripped her wrist. "You really remember?"

"Mm-hmm. I think I might have had a little too much to drink last night, so... I'm really sorry." Cecilia's face turned bright red, as if it were on fire.

"It's fine. It's perfectly normal. I know you've probably been holding back for a long time." Nathaniel smiled again, his grín especially radiant.

Cecilia really wanted to smack him. What did he mean by saying she'd been holding back? What a joke! "Okay, enough talking. Let's get up. Eli and Jon are probably waiting for us to come back."

Cecilia thought about how the two little ones had come looking for them last night. They were probably terrified.

Nathaniel finally let go of her. "Okay, let's have breakfast and then head back."

Today, Nathaniel was in an exceptionally good mood.

On the way back, his face practically glowed.

Cecilia sat next to him, feeling incredibly uneasy.

Even though they were husband and wife and what happened between them was to be expected, she still felt embarrassed thinking about last night.

How did I fail to resist?

Unaware of her thoughts, Nathaniel naturally took her hand as soon as they arrived back at Rainsworth Manor.

Cecilia quickly pulled her hand away. "There's no need to hold hands. I can walk on my own."

Nathaniel didn't let go.

"This isn't about you walking alone."

Cecilia was his wife, and he liked holding her hand, keeping her within his sight.

However, once they returned, Nathaniel suddenly recalled the events of the previous day. He asked Cecilia, "Did Miranda do anything to yesterday?"

He had had this nagging suspicion that Miranda was up to no good, though he hadn't found any concrete evidence.noveldrama

Cecilia shook her head. "I don't think so."

Her body had been acting strange lately, so she didn't suspect her dizziness was due to anyone tampering with her drink.

"Good. Just make sure you keep your distance from her in the future," Nathaniel reminded her. Cecilia nodded repeatedly. "Got it."

As they walked further, they heard two small voices calling out from a distance. "Mommy!"

The two little ones hadn't slept well the night before. Seeing Cecilia

immediately sighed in relief and ran toward her.

Elliot clung to her leg. "Mommy, are you okay? You really scared me last night. You and sc*mbag Daddy

stayed at the hotel and didn't even tell us. Jon and I were so worried!"

Children spoke without a filter. When Cecilia heard him mention the hotel, she felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I forgot. Don't be mad," Cecilia bent down to apologize.

"Okay." Elliot nodded. "We'll forgive you this time, but don't ever do that again. Jon and I couldn't sleep at all."

"Okay." Cecilia's heart felt warm seeing how much the two children cared about her.

Not far away, Nicholas watched the heartwarming scene of the family with a complex expression.

Someone walked up behind him. "Ceci really is lucky. Nathaniel cares so much about her, and they have four adorable children together."

Nicholas turned around to see Miranda continuing, "But if the person she ended up with was you, she would probably be even happier, don't you think?"
