When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1207 Holding Hands

Cecilia thought she had done nothing to deserve a reward, and she didn’t want to casually accept things given by Nathaniel, fearing he would regret it later.

Besides, they were former partners. It just wasn’t appropriate for her to receive such a huge gift from him.

Nathaniel had never anticipated that Cecilia would reject him so outright.

“Are you sure you don’t want it?”

Cecilia nodded. “Yes. This is too valuable.”

“Consider it for Jon and Eli.” Nathaniel paused before adding, “They’re still young. You have custody, as their guardian, you’ll temporarily manage these assets.”

he could do it in the future. What if Mr. Rainsworth marries and has children with someone else? By then, Eli and Jon would surely be at a loss.”

Nathaniel was silent.

At first, Cecilia was taken aback, but soon after, she found herself agreeing with Mason’s point of view. That’s right. Since the kids father is giving them something should just take it.

“All right, then. I’ll accept this on behalf of Eli and Jon.

Cecilia neatly put away the documents.

The vehicle quickly arrived at the preschool.

Inside the preschool, Elliot was particularly popular at the time. Firstly, it was because of his adorable and handsome appearance. Secondly, the kids‘ parents saw him getting into Rainsworth Group’s car during the last parent meeting. As a result, they specifically instructed their own children to spend more time playing with Elliot.

“Eli, your mommy and daddy are coming to pick you up today, aren’t they?” a child asked.

Elliot kept nodding. “Yes.”

“I’m really envious of you. Both your mommy and daddy are coming to pick you up.”

Elliot was also brimming with joy. When he finally saw the arrival of Nathaniel’s car, he purposefully stood at a distance, making a call to Cecilia.

“Mommy, can you and sc*mbag daddy please come over hand in hand to pick me up?” he asked.

Cecilia was somewhat puzzled. Why must we go hold each other’s hand?Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Why?” she asked.

The car was evidently not too far from the entrance.

Elliot then replied in a cute tone, “The other kids‘ parents always come out of the car together to fetch their kids. If you guys don’t do the same, how is it different from Mr. Sven picking me up?”

The words carried a particular sense of grievance. Looking at Nathaniel, Cecilia sought his opinion.

In the next moment, the man had already taken hold of her hand.

“Let’s go.”

Two figures emerged from the car. The woman was stunningly beautiful and intelligent, while the man was tall and handsome, with an aura of charisma about him. They quickly drew the attention of many onlookers.

Elliot said to the child beside him, “See? Those are my parents. I have to go now. Bye.”

After he finished speaking, he walked toward Cecilia and Nathaniel.

Cecilia was still somewhat uncomfortable, being led by the hand by Nathaniel.

Once Elliot reached them, she tried to pull her hand away with all her might. However, Nathaniel’s grip only tightened, making it impossible for her to withdraw her hand.

Involuntarily, Cecilia found herself glaring at him.

At that moment, Nathaniel could see clearly. His captivating eyes were intensely fixed on Cecilia, his gaze, profound.

When he looked at her, Cecilia’s heart pounded uncontrollably, causing her to immediately avert her gaze.

After Elliot came over, he watched the interaction between the two people, and his heart was filled with joy. Oh, dear… What would this household do without me?

Even after they had settled into the car, Nathaniel had yet to let go of Cecilia’s hand.

Unable to hold back any longer, Cecilia blurted out, “Let go of me.”

Before Nathaniel could speak, Elliot, who was nearby, blurted out, “Mommy, why do you want Daddy to let go of you? Don’t you love Daddy anymore?”

After hearing that, Cecilia was somewhat taken aback. Don’t I love Nathaniel anymore? What does that mean?

Elliot’s eyes were shimmering with moisture. “Other parents would hold hands, kiss, and hug each other. However, even holding hands seems to be a struggle for you two.”
