With a stoic expression, Nathaniel fabricated, "You were talking in your sleep last night, saying you were cold, so I came over and held you." "Huh?" Cecilia was somewhat incredulous.

The weather had already warmed up, and she hadn't felt cold at all the previous night.

Not far away, Jonathan, who had been lying down, also emerged from his sleeping bag.

"Mommy, I can vouch for it. You were complaining about the cold last night, even asking for a hug," Jonathan said earnestly, showing no signs of deceit. Cecilia's face turned red with embarrassment.

Why did I utter such nonsense in my sleep? Is it because I'm getting older and starting to have certain needs? Jonathan approached Cecilia. "Mommy, don't feel embarrassed. You used to sleep with him in the same way." Cecilia wished the ground could swallow her whole.

"All right," she said, taking a deep breath before turning to Nathaniel. "Thanks for last night. Did I disturb your rest?" Nathaniel shook his head. "Of course not. I've had blankets prepared. Tonight, we'll share them and sleep together." ""It's fine."

Cecilia was about to say something else when Miranda's voice echoed from outside.

"Ceci, are you and Nathaniel awake?"

Cecilia hastily responded, "Yes, is there something you need?"

"We're planning to gather some firewood and teach the kids how to cook outdoors. Would you like to join us?"

Hearing that, Cecilia found it hard to refuse.

"Sure, wait for me a moment."

Cecilia crawled out from her sleeping bag.

At that moment, Nathaniel firmly took hold of her hand. "I'll

go

with you."

Miranda hadn't left yet. She reminded, "Nathaniel, I know you're concerned about Ceci, but soon, the fathers will be responsible for catching fish in the stream." Nathaniel furrowed his brows, remaining silent.

Cecilia quickly got up and went outside.

Miranda couldn't help but glance over her shoulder, noticing that Nathaniel had also emerged. A smile involuntarily tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"There's a stream up ahead. In a little while, the fathers will head over there to catch some fish. Meanwhile, us mothers will be nearby, leading the kids in gathering firewood to start a fire." As the activity seemed rather meaningful, Cecilia nodded. "All right."

After freshening up, they set off with Jonathan.

Not long after, they came upon a stream.

The children from the city were experiencing nature for the first time. They exclaimed in awe, "Wow, a stream!"

The stream was naturally formed, and the waters were incredibly clear. Upon closer inspection, they could see the presence of small fish and shrimp, even tiny crabs.

The parents had accompanied their children here primarily to experience life.

One by one, the men of the household rolled up their sleeves and hiked up their trousers, vying to be the first to wade into the stream.

Observing the situation, Cecilia was somewhat concerned about whether Nathaniel would be able to handle it.

After all, he had spent years working in an office.

"How about you and Jon gather firewood while I catch fish?" Cecilia suggested to Nathaniel.

She had lived with Martha in the countryside. For her, tasks like catching fish were quite simple.

Nathaniel, however, had already taken off his coat and set it aside. "You and Jon stay on the shore. I'll go."

As a grown man, he couldn't possibly allow a woman to catch fish in the stream in his place.

Seeing his determination, Cecilia didn't attempt to dissuade him further; instead, she took Jonathan to gather some firewood. "Wow, you're incredible! How did you manage to catch it?"
