    When Natalie woke up the next morning, the rain was still dripping steadily on the roof. It was still


    falling after an entire night.


    The warmth beside her remained...!


    When Cedric heard movement, he hugged her and asked, "Are you awake?"


    "Get off me!"


    She had been unable to resist falling asleepst night, but why was Cedric still here?!


    He was so shameless...!


    But as Natalie moved, Cedric gripped her hand tightly and said, "Don''t move. It''s cold!"

    When Natalie extended her arm out of the nket, she indeed felt a chill.


    In Yuloria, people often said it was veryfortable during the summer. That was because the


    courtyard houses were built with stones, which provided good instion.


    It would be warm in winter but cool in summer...!


    Cedric got up and said, "Don''t move."


    In contrast to Natalie''s irritability, his tone was full of patience, as if they hadn''t had such moments in a


    very long time.


    Cedric seemed to treasure this time with Natalie.


    Natalie was immediately upset!


    "Are you getting up? Let me help you get dressed."


    "Lydia will do that!"


    Natalie''s temper was already bad because she couldn''t see, and now this man kept pestering her...!


    It made her patience wear thin.


    "Lydia and X are out," Cedric replied.


    Out? That was impossible!


    Lydia and X knew that Natalie hated interacting with Cedric. So, no matter how busy they were, one


    of them would always stay behind to help her.


    "Cedric!" Natalie''s tone got more serious.


    However, seemingly oblivious to the irritation in her voice, Cedric continued, "It''s okay if you don''t want


    to get up. I''ll stay with you a little longer."


    Natalie remained silent.


    At this moment, she couldn''t see the expression on her face, but she could feel it turning ashen in


    Cedric''s teasing words!


    In the end, she allowed Cedric to dress her. Although this trip felt rushed for Natalie, Cedric was well-


    prepared. Considering the local climate, he had especially brought plenty of clothes for Natalie.


    After putting on the clothes, Natalie felt much warmer.


    "Do you like this feeling, Nat?"


    "No!"


    How could she possibly like it?


    Who did he think he was...?!


    "I was talking about the feeling of living in a house like this," Cedric borated.


    Natalie fell silent.


    "Did you think I was talking about something else?"


    This man...!


    No matter how calm Natalie usually was, Cedric managed to make her somewhat impatient now.


    This damn man!


    This house...!


    When she had once heard about what it felt like to live in a house like this, Natalie was particrly


    eager to try it.


    But this time was different.


    Probably due to her physical condition, she felt ufortable after staying here. No matter how much


    she liked it, her liking for it would diminish once her body couldn''t bear it.


    "Nat?"


    "I don''t like it!"


    Cedric was silent.


    At her words, a trace of disappointment shed in his eyes.
