When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1209 On A Mission

Cecilia wasn’t bothered. “What do you mean? We’re already divorced. We shouldn’t even be living together in the first place.”

Nathaniel gazed down at her with a composed demeanor and saw the smug look on her face. He then turned to look at Elliot and called out, “Eli.”

Elliot halted in her tracks, turning back to look at Nathaniel. “What’s up, sc*mbag daddy?”

In a moment of panic, Cecilia lowered her voice and said, “Can you stop being so childish? It’s not like you don’t have a place to live.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
