When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Let Bygones Be Bygones 

“As long as you’re willing to spare me and Eli, and let bygones be bygones.” 

Nathaniel tightened his embrace around her ever so slightly. “No way.” 

She was right. How could people who were once married possibly become friends? 

Nathaniel thought to himself that if Cecilia insisted on leaving, it would only be over his dead body! 

The light in Cecilia’s eyes completely dimmed. She chuckled bitterly, saying, “If I had known you were such a vindictive person, I would have suggested that we part ways when we got married.” 

If I had known? 

As Nathaniel recalled what she had said about her regret of marrying him, his face became cold. 

He didn’t respond anymore. 

The car raced through the night, settling into silence. 

Cecilia was feeling a bit dizzy, her face flushed with color. 

Nathaniel thought she had caught his cold, so he reached out to touch her forehead. But before his hand could reach her, she instinctively dodged. 

His hand hung stiffly in mid–air. Then, he disregarded her evasion and once again placed his hand on her forehead. She didn’t have a fever. 

“Does it feel good to drink so much alcohol?” 

He was asking the obvious. 

Cecilia didn’t pay him any attention. Instead, she asked, “When can I see Eli? He’s quite timid, and I’m worried that he will be scared because he’s alone in an unfamiliar place.” 

“That depends on your actions,” Nathaniel replied. 

Cecilia asked in confusion, “How should I act?” 

Nathaniel reached out once more, and this time, Cecilia didn’t dodge. She watched as his hand gently came to rest on her cheek. 

She couldn’t help but say, “Nathaniel, I don’t understand.” 

“What?” 

“Have you fallen for me?” Cecilia asked, emphasizing on each word. 

If he was fond of her, why wouldn’t he let her touch him?

+5 Pearls 

Nathaniel’s hand stiffened. Then, he swiftly retracted his hand from her face and returned to his usual indifference. 

“Of course not.” 

Cecilia knew she had been overthinking before. A man as proud as him could never possibly fall for someone like her. 

No wonder he still rejected her even though she took the initiative. 

She smiled relievedly. “That’s great. If you suddenly realize that you’re falling for me, I won’t know what to do. It’s better if you continue to not have feelings for me.” 

She wasn’t really lying. 

Imagine loving someone for more than ten years, but that person had never loved you back and had even hurt you. Then one day, the person suddenly confessed to you that he had fallen for 

you. 

What should she do? 

Should she choose to forgive him, to be with him again, or should she do something else?
