When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 851 Weird Noises

“Well, not really,” Cecilia said, “Your memory is pretty good as long as the environment doesn’t change. Typically, it only takes me three days to explain things to you, and you remember what’s where. You hardly need my help.” After speaking, she handed him the toothbrush. “Hurry up and brush your teeth so you can go to sleep.”

Nathaniel fell silent and began to freshen up.

After he finished washing his face and brushing his teeth, he asked, “Could you step out for a moment?”

Cecilia questioned, “Why?”

“I need to take a shower.”

After hearing this, Cecilia muttered under her breath, “It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before.”

Nathaniel swiftly caught hold of her. “What did you just say?”

“Nothing,” Cecilia immediately said.

Nathaniel thought he must have misheard. Just as he was about to let her go, he suddenly heard strange noises and the sound of water coming from next door.

“Mason, you jerk! Get away from me!” Lucille’s voice cut through the air. Though it wasn’t loud, they could still make it out.

They were all adults, and they instantly understood what was happening in the next room.

Cecilia’s face visibly flushed red. Listening to the sound from next door while being held in Nathaniel’s

arms, she felt her cheeks burning s

Nathaniel’s breath hitched when he heard that. Gradually, he released Cecilia.

“You can go now. I’ll return to on my once I’m done with bath.”

“All right.” Cecilia couldn’t wait to get out of here.

Returning to the bed, she could no longer hear any noise from next door. She guessed that Lucille and Mason must be in the bathroom.

Thankfully, the two kids were asleep now. If they had heard the noise just now, she wouldn’t have known how to explain it to them.

Several minutes later, Nathaniel stepped out of the bathroom after taking his bath.

He settled down to sleep on the bed next to Cecilia’s.

Cecilia turned off the lights in the room.

The two children were sound asleep, yet both Cecilia and Nathaniel couldn’t because Mason and Lucille seemed to have retreated to their room.

Only a thin wall separated both rooms, and the soundproofing wasn’t particularly effective. Fortunately, Cecilia tried to fall asleep for a while, but to no avail. In the end, she gave up and rose from bed, tiptoeing out of the room.

In the mountain’s embrace, the night carried a deep, lingering chill. Standing on the second–floor corridor, Cecilia gazed out into the pitch–black expanse, where a cool breeze swept by, tinged with the faint fragrance of wildflowers. Unlike the city’s constant hum, she found herself drawn to the stillness of the mountains.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She had always carried a quiet dream: to one day retreat to a peaceful mountain village, where she could spend her days in solitude, tending to a garden and savoring the serenity of a life far removed from the world’s rush.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps from behind.

Turning back, Cecilia was surprised to see Nathaniel come out.

“You’re not asleep?” she asked.

“Yeah, Mason and Lucille are too noisy.” Nathaniel fumbled his way over to Cecilia.

Cecilia felt rather awkward upon hearing him say they were noisy.

The two stood side by side, letting the wind wash over them. For once, they shared a rare moment of calm, free from their usual bickering.

Meanwhile, Zachary was also struggling to fall asleep. His room was next to Mason’s as well.

He had fallen asleep, only to be awoken by the commotion next door.

Restless and annoyed, he rose from bed and exited his room, bumping into Vivian, who emerged from Eric’s room.

Zachary’s expression shifted instantly as he called out to her, “Vivian.”

Vivian turned around in puzzlement, and her face fell when she saw Zachary. “What’s the matter?”

“What do you think?” Zachary made his way toward her. “What were you doing in Eric’s room so late at night?”

“Mind your own business.” Vivian was about to leave, but Zachary grabbed the hood of her clothes, stopping her in her tracks.

They were standing outside Mason’s door when they suddenly heard a noise from inside. Their expressions changed.
