When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 430 It Was To Protect You

After assisting Nicholas back to his residence, Cecilia then returned home.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, she was enveloped in a chilling temperature.

Surprisingly, despite the freezing weather, none of the indoor heating was turned on.

She tightened her coat around herself as she stepped inside the living room. There she saw Nathaniel, sitting alone on the couch, his handsome face expressionless and cold.

Ever since he lost his memories, Cecilia seldom saw him in this state.

“Why isn’t the heater on? Aren’t you cold?” Cecilia asked.

Nathaniel looked toward the source of the voice, his gaze landing on her. “How could I possibly be cold when I’m enveloped in fire?”

The sarcastic words only served to deepen Cecilia’s confusion. “What do you mean? What’s this about being enveloped in fire?”

Nathaniel had never expected that even at this point, Cecilia would still play dumb.

She really thought he was blind!

Without wasting time on further words, he immediately pulled out a stack of photos and tossed them toward her.

The photographs scattered all over the floor, each one featuring Cecilia and Nicholas locked in a particularly intimate embrace.

Even though Nathaniel was blind, he could still hear. As for taking pictures, it was all for Cecilia to see.

Upon seeing these photos, Cecilia was initially surprised, but several seconds later, it was swiftly replaced by full–blown indignation.

She strode purposefully in her high heels toward Nathaniel. “Did you arrange for someone to secretly photograph me?”

She had previously assumed that Nathaniel had changed, only to realize that he hadn’t changed at all.

Nathaniel’s voice hitched in his throat. “Is the point here really that I had someone secretly photograph you?”

Had it not been for the certainty that his gaze wasn’t focused on her, Cecilia might have thought he wasn’t blind.

“Nicholas is my younger brother and your brother–in–law. Out of all people, how could you get together with him?” The cold words slipped out of Nathaniel’s lips, but then he realized that wasn’t right either.

He didn’t want her to seek anyone else but him.

Smack!

A resounding slap was fiercely delivered onto his face..

Nathaniel’s face instantly burned, a testament to the strength of Cecilia’s slap.

“His old ailment flared up again, and I was merely supporting him. How does that equate to me. getting together with him? Do you enjoy being cheated on that much?” Cecilia’s voice was becoming hoarse.

At that moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of aggrievement.

Upon hearing her explanation, Nathaniel’s confidence instantly deflated.

Cecilia clenched her fists as she went on, “Even if there was anything between him and me, it should have happened earlier. Why would it happen now, right at the doorstep of the Rainsworth residence? And for you to find out?”

Nathaniel knew he was in the wrong and dared not say more.

Cecilia’s hands were still trembling due to her anger.

“Did you forget what I told you? I only took you in temporarily; we’re still going to get a divorce. What gives you the right to keep tabs on me?”

Upon hearing her words, Nathaniel’s anger dissipated even further. He realized that he had been utterly ridiculous to confront Cecilia with the photographs without properly investigating beforehand.

It was clear to him that, over the recent period, Cecilia had begun to forgive him..

Nathaniel let go of his usual aloofness, softening his voice and striving to sound gentler. “I didn’t have someone follow you to spy on you; it was simply to protect you. Mason mentioned that you’ve had a few accidents before, so I was concerned about your safety.”

Cecilia wouldn’t be so easily swayed.

“Do you need to secretly take photos to protect me? How about I have someone protect you in the same way in the future, would that be all right?”

Nathaniel was rendered speechless once again.

For reasons unknown, his wife, who used to be so easily managed, was now leaving him somewhat at a loss.

“Tonight, you’ll be sleeping downstairs alone.”

resounding bang, she shut the door behind her.

This was the first time in Nathaniel’s life that he had been kicked out of his own room in his own house.

Nonetheless, he was indeed at fault today, so he had no choice but to obediently sleep outside.
