Chapter 670 We Are Even
Cecilia didn’t resist any further. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She spoke as if she was addressing
Nathaniel, yet it also seemed like she was talking to herself.
“Even now, | still can’t understand why she hatesso much. | used to think she didn’t like daughters and was
a cold-hearted person, but do you know what | saw today? | saw her enduring the discomfort of her illness to
deliver a handbag to Cassandra. Even after hearing Cassandra: expressing her dislike for her, she pretended that
it didn’t happen. Behaving so humbly is so unlike her at all!”
Nathaniel tightened his grip on her hand. “You have me.”
Cecilia looked back at him. “Are you not angry anymore?”
“We're even now, all right?” Nathaniel asked.
“Even?”
“I've treated you coldly for three years, and you've been gone for five years with our child. Can we call it even?”
asked Nathaniel in a serious tone.
Cecilia felt a sudden lump in her throat as she turned around and embraced him.
When she took the initiative to embrace Nathaniel, he felt as if his whole body was frozen, his blood turning to

He held himself back, gently kissing the center of her forehead. His Adam's apple moved slightly.
“Promise me, if anything comes up in the future, you'll tellinstead of just leaving, okay?”
Cecilia didn’t respond. She lifted her head, kissing him by the neck.
Nathaniel’s body stiffened. Unable to control himself, he unleashed the desire within him.
The following day, after finishing his breakfast, Elliot found it odd that his parents hadn't woken up yet. He was
about to knock on their door to rouse them when the housekeeper stopped him.
“Eli, don’t bother Mr. and Mrs. Rainsworth. They had a late night yesterday.”
The reason the housekeeper knew was that from her quarters, she could see whether the light in their room was
on.
After hearing this, Elliot lowered his voice. “Madam, did Mommy and Daddy sleep together last night?”
The housekeeper nodded. “Yes, only one bedroom light was on. While cleaning today, there was no one in the
other room.”
After returning hlast night, Elliot fell asleep early, forgetting to invite his parents to join him.
He felt a twinge of regret, not having anticipated that his parents would end up sleeping together.
Sleeping together every day, the two of them...
A look of joy spread across Elliot's face. “Madam, I'm off to school now, bye!”
“Bye.”
By noon, Cecilia finally woke up. She was uncertain about what had transpired the previous night. Somehow, in
the midst of their conversation, she and Nathaniel had ended up entwined together.
Perhaps | was in a bad mood, and | can’t deny how handshe is.
Cecilia glanced at the vacant spot beside her as she gave her face a light slap. Both of us are still husband and
wife, so everything is above board. There is nothing to worry about.
She got out of bed and freshened up. After changing her clothes, she descended the stairs.
She had assumed that by then, Nathaniel would have already left for work. To her surprise, he was still
downstairs. Wanting to avoid an awkward situation, Cecilia was about to turn around when she was called to
halt.
-Ceci.
Cecilia paused. “Mmm-hmm?”

“After breakfast, we'll go out on a date,” Nathaniel casually stated.
His mood was particularly good that day.
Upon hearing this, Cecilia hesitated. “But | have things to do today...
“What's things?”
When Cecilia stuttered, unable to find an excuse, Nathaniel rose solemnly and walked toward her.
“Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital to get checked out?”
He had been quite gentle the night before, so there shouldn't be any issues.
“No need. I'm fine. | just don’t feel like going out. I still have a song to write.”
“You don’t have to compose music anymore. However much you need, I'll give it to you.”
Nathaniel was extraordinarily generous.
Cecilia thought back to the last the had given her his black card, and she returned it to him. “Here's your
card back.”
Nathaniel was taken aback, his face instantly darkening. “What's the meaning of this?” &
