Chapter 1601 An Awkward Moment

On one hand, Jocelyn felt guilty that her elderly grandmother was still worrying about her. On the other hand, she also acknowledged that she was not getting any younger and indeed, it was about time she found a partner. She typed: Grandma, I understand. I will meet Yannick again.

After the message was sent, the old lady finally calmed down.

Jocelyn switched off her phone, having nothing more to say. Finally, they arrived at the Griffiths residence.

Nicholas opened his eyes, and the two of them exited the car in unison, not mentioning the content of the earlier conversation on the phone. Meanwhile, Cecilia and Nathaniel returned home that evening.

Cecilia couldn't help but ask him, "Are both children going to live in Rainsworth Manor going forward?"

Even though her memories of the children had not yet returned, she found herself growing fond of them after spending more time together. "Once your memory returns, we can bring the children home if that's what you want," Nathaniel said solemnly.

Cecilia nodded. "Alright."

By the time she arrived at the Smith residence, it was already quite late, and everyone had gone to sleep.

Cecilia first told Elliot a bedtime story. Only after ensuring that he had drifted off to sleep, she quietly slipped away, readying herself for bed. She had barely reached the door when Nathaniel appeared before her, blocking her path.

Cecilia looked up, a puzzled expression on her face as she gazed at him. She lowered her voice, careful not to wake Elliot.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Nathaniel lowered his gaze, his dark eyes intensely focused on her. "Let's stay in the same room," he suggested.

Cecilia's face was somewhat flushed, and when she spoke again, she stuttered, "No... it... it's not appropriate."

"What's not appropriate about it?" Nathaniel asked, firmly holding her hand. "We're married, can you really bear to see me always alone?" "Sleeping alone is actually quite nice," Cecilia remarked with a wry smile.

Nathaniel felt a sense of unease deep within his heart. He embraced Cecilia tightly. "You really do have faith in me, don't you?" Whenever he wanted to go out in the past, Cecilia would always ask him where he was heading, constantly checking up on him. But now, she was unwilling to even share a room with him.

Suddenly embraced by him, Cecilia was taken aback. "What's bothering you? Are you scared to sleep alone? You can share a room with Eli, or you could, perhaps, leave the lights on."

Before she could finish her sentence, Nathaniel leaned forward, silencing her with a kiss.

Cecilia froze, as if she had lost control of her body.

At that moment, Charlotte had coincidentally gotten out of bed to get a drink of water.

She happened to witness this scene, which left her feeling utterly awkward.

Thud! Her cup subsequently hit the floor.

Startled, Cecilia immediately pushed Nathaniel away.

Charlotte quickly bent over to pick up her cup, all the while feigning

"Cough, cough, you

I saw nothing..." G

However, Nathaniel's face was incredibly gloomy after being interrupted.

He didn't pay any attention to Charlotte. Instead, he said to Cecilia, "Let's continue in the room." Continue? Continue what?

Cecilia felt her head pounding relentlessly, her body fluctuating between bouts of heat and cold.

"No, I'm too tired. You should go back to your room."

She swiftly broke away from Nathaniel, returning to her own room and making sure the door was shut tightly behind her. Nathaniel merely watched her retreating figure, his mood deteriorating significantly.noveldrama

Meanwhile, Charlotte realized that she had unintentionally spoiled his plans. Feeling a little embarrassed, she squirmed slightly, intending to fade away and disappear from the scene.

Nathaniel passed by her with a look of annoyance. "Are you really that thirsty?"

"Um, I'm fine," Charlotte said, her head bowed down in guilt, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Tomorrow, you and Sven should stay in the same place," Nathaniel suggested softly.

"Huh?"

When Charlotte looked somewhat bewildered, Nathaniel cast a glance at her. "What's the matter? Do you not want to?"
