Nathaniel was perplexed. He stepped forward and unwrapped the package. When he witnessed what was inside, his face turned an observable shade of pale with a speed that was visible to the naked eye,

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Cecilia stepped forward, pointing at the doll, and said, "Do you think this will do? I won't mind.

Nathaniel almost lost his temper because of her.

It was the first time anyone had dared to present him with such a thing. He forcefully suppressed the anger welling up inside him. "Ceci, don't you think you're being incredibly unreasonable?"

Cecilia was stunned. "What?"

She didn't think it was anything extraordinary. "Don't get me wrong. I believe everyone has physical needs. I respect you. After all, we are husband and wife, aren't we?"

Nathaniel realized that she simply didn't understand his intentions and, turning around, he left.

Cecilia watched him storm off in anger, feeling somewhat bewildered.

She followed him out, saying, "I was initially considering finding a woman for you, but after all, we're married. And you mentioned that when I wasn't suffering from amnesia, we were deeply in love. I don't think it's right to do so..."

Nathaniel sat heavily on the couch, realizing he had a headache. "All right, stop talking now." Who does she think / am? A man who only knows how to satisfy my physical needs?

Cecilia stopped talking, the air around them becoming unusually stifling for a moment.

After a while, Cecilia finally whispered to him. "If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep. Aren't we going back to the Rainsworth Manor tomorrow?"

Nathaniel grumbled a displeased "Mhm," then added, "Whatever."

Unaware of the implied meaning in Nathaniel's words, Cecilia felt as if she had received a royal pardon and left.

Upon seeing her truly walk away, Nathaniel was momentarily stunned.

"She's just gone like that?" he mumbled to himself.

After returning to her room, Cecilia didn't forget to lock the door behind her.

Nathaniel listened to the sound of the lock falling into place, utterly speechless.

At Royale Club, Darren and Nathaniel were having a jovial conversation over drinks.

"Nathaniel, how come you have time to drink here? Don't you need to accompany your wife?" Darren was somewhat surprised.

Nathaniel didn't respond. Instead, he looked at him. "What about you? You don't need to accompany Madeline?"noveldrama

"Have you not clarified things with her yet?" Nathaniel asked.

Darren shook his head. "I've explained it numerous times before, even showed her the evidence.

However, she simply refuses to believe me, convinced that I'm the one who wronged her family. I suppose

I was too impulsive when I was younger. I should have communicated with her better."

Nathaniel attentively listened to his troubles, taking another sip. "We can consider ourselves as friends who share the same misery."

"Truc, everyone has their own troubles."

Cecilia had lost her memory, completely forgetting about Nathaniel with no clue when she would be able to regain her memories.

After the two had finished their drinks, they were escorted back.

In the early dawn, when Cecilia got up to have a drink of water, she discovered that Nathaniel was deeply intoxicated.

Last night, he had spent the entire time sleeping on the couch, his rest far from peaceful, as he often frowned.

Cecilia felt a chill inside the house, so she went to fetch a blanket. Just as she was about to drape it over him, he suddenly seized her wrist.

"Don't leave," Nathaniel muttered in a daze, pulling her entirely into his embrace.

Cecilia was about to rise when she heard Nathaniel say in a deep voice, "I feel terrible."

He was truly in emotional and physical agony.

"Do you know? What I wanted wasn't just any woman or any other need," Nathaniel mumbled, his words

heavy with intoxication. "I'm in such pain right now, and I finally understand what it was like for you to be
