When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1471 Scaled The Balcony

Uncharacteristically, Nicholas didn't stop at the slightest hint but pressed on.

For some reason, this grated on

Cecilia more than usual.

"Don't..."

She raised her hand to stop Nicholas.

"Nicholas, I'm really not in the mood right now."

Nicholas paused, his Adam's apple bobbing.

This time, he didn't act like the gentleman he usually was. Instead, he reached out to unbutton her clothes. "Cecilia, I promise you, once we're back, we'll get married, okay?" he proposed. Cecilia reached out to stop him.

"I-I'm not ready to get married yet."

She wanted to avoid Nicholas, but somehow, she just couldn't.

Nicholas noticed her body was slightly trembling.

"Nicholas, please, don't do this. I'm scared."

It was in that moment that Cecilia felt a certain resistance to physical contact with Nicholas.

Despite her obvious affection for Nicholas in the past, why was she resisting now?

She couldn't quite articulate it, she just knew she didn't like it.

Nicholas was filled with resentment. Why, even after Cecilia lost her memory due to hypnosis, was she still unwilling to be with him?

He pushed on.

Cecilia knew she simply couldn't resist him, and so, she stopped trying.

The two were a couple. Throughout that year, due to her illness, they had been sleeping in separate rooms. It was only a matter of time before this day would come

Having chosen Nicholas, she was certain she must have cared for him deeply before her amnesia.

She was well aware that she had long since lost her virginity.

After enduring for such a long time, it would be truly unjust if she still rejected him now.

No longer resisting, Cecilia's acceptance brought Nicholas a considerable amount of relief. However, when he tried to take things a step further, his hand met with a chilling coldness. He lifted his head only to see that Cecilia had her eyes tightly shut, tears slowly trickling down from the corners of her eyes.

At that moment, his heart ached.

Immediately, Nicholas pulled a blanket over to cover Cecilia up.

It took a while for Cecilia to come to her senses. As she opened her eyes, she saw that Nicholas had already gotten up and headed toward the bathroom.

She wore a face full of guilt, curled up on the sofa, at a loss for words.

At that moment, outside the villa, Nathaniel's mood was equally terrible.

He watched as his wife was taken away by another, rendered powerless to intervene. He didn't even dare to lay a finger on Nicholas, especially not in front of Cecilia. Mason couldn't help but complain, "This Nicholas is really heartless, isn't he? What on earth did he do to make Mrs. Rainsworth forget about you and Mr. Elliot

If he had a younger brother like that, he'd definitely feel the need to give him a thorough beating.

"Shut up, stay alert, and don't let them escape," Nathaniel said, his voice laced with exhaustion

Mason nodded. "All right."

Unwilling to linger idly by the entrance, Nathaniel pulled out his phone and directed someone to scout for potential entry points around the villa.

Meanwhile, deep into the night, Cecilia lay awake in her room, unable to sleep despite her efforts. Her thoughts were consumed by the day's events, replaying them over and over in her mind.

She closed her eyes, attempting to recall the past. However, not long after, a throbbing pain filled her head, making it impossible for her to remember anything.

Why was it that her memories of the past year were vivid and clear, yet everything from before that time felt shrouded in fog?

She couldn't even remember how her closest kin, her parents and Martha, had passed away.

Cecilia tossed and turned, unaware that someone had scaled the balcony.

A tall figure slipped into the room, moving silently toward her bedside.

"Ceci."novelbin

Cecilia was startled by this sudden sound.

She was about to turn on the light when her hand was abruptly seized by the newcomer.

"It's me, Nathaniel!" Nathaniel said in a low voice.
