When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1502 True Home

Perhaps Cecilia didn't sleep well due to the nightmare she had the previous night. As a result, she was sound asleep in the car. Eventually, they arrived in the countryside.

Nathaniel didn't wake her up. Instead, he instructed the driver to pull over first.

Cecilia didn't sleep in a stable position and almost ended up tumbling into Nathaniel's embrace by accident.

In a rush, Nathaniel caught and held her securely in his arms.

Cecilia woke up in confusion. She slowly picked herself up, only belatedly realizing that she'd been leaning on Nathaniel's body.

She was quite embarrassed. "I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional."

Nathaniel shook his head. "There's no need for apologies. Let's go. We've arrived."

"Did we arrive that quickly?" Cecilia gazed outside at a small house nestled beneath the pristine white

snow.

It was the place where she used to live with Martha during her childhood, her true home.noveldrama

Memories from Cecilia's childhood flooded her mind. This is the place."

She followed Nathaniel out of the car, her eyes warming as she took in the familiarity of everything around her.

"Martha, I'm back." Cecilia murmured softly.

Unfortunately, no one responded to her anymore.

The cold wind was howling by her ears as Cecilia treaded through the accumulated snow, step by step, advancing forward. She wanted to go inside, only to remember that she didn't have the key at that

moment.

Nathaniel approached her, extracting the house key to unlock the door.

Taken aback, Cecilia couldn't help but ask, "How do you have a key to this place?"

"You handed over to me before. We once lived here together for a while," Nathaniel responded solemnly.

"We did?" Cecilia stared at his tailored suit.

Every move he made exuded an air of elegance and refinement. Thus, she was surprised that he chose to live in such a rundown place with her.

"Mhm. You always used to storm off from our home in a huff," Nathaniel teased with a deep voice. "I had no choice but to follow you."

Upon hearing all that, she was confused and shocked.

Finished

She didn't overthink it. As she looked inside the room, she noticed how neatly the furniture was arranged. The room was immaculate, not a speck of dust in sight. It was as if it was still inhabited. Cecilia walked in. "This house is really clean."

"I've hired a part-time cleaner who will come regularly to clean the place up," Nathaniel stated.

Cecilia hadn't expected him to be so thoughtful in his arrangements and looked at him with gratitude. "Thank you."

It was the only thing she knew to say.

Nathaniel grinned. He reached out, ruffling Cecilia's hair affectionately. "Silly."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Cecilia subtly withdrew from his touch and shifted her attention elsewhere.

She hadn't held any expectations initially, yet as she glanced around the dining room, an image involuntarily flashed across her mind. It was the figure of Nathaniel.

"Have you cooked here before?" asked Cecilia.

Upon hearing her question, Nathaniel couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He nodded and said, "Yes. Not only did I cook here, but I also washed dishes and mopped the floor." Back then, he was blind to everything else, his mind only filled with memories of Cecilia, constantly entwined with thoughts of Cecilia.

At the time, Cecilia hadn't forgiven him yet, so she made him take care of everything.

"Have you remembered something?" asked Nathaniel.

"I feel like I'm starting to remember some fragments," Cecilia honestly replied.

"Great. Let's check out some other places," Nathaniel continued.

Cecilia nodded. "All right."

The two of them revisited some of the places in the countryside they had been to before. Cecilia could vaguely recall certain things, but those memories were not very clear. Gradually regaining her memory filled her with both surprise and fear.
