When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 394 Visiting Rainsworth Manor

Despite Mason’s remark, Cecelia remained calm. Humiliation?

“What does that have to do with me?” she questioned. Back when I was at the Rainsworth residence, I endured all kinds of humiliations, yet Nathaniel never came to ту aid.

Mason choked up.

He lowered his voice. “Since Mr. Rainsworth once saved you, could you please help him?”

At that moment, Cecelia was reminded of the time abroad when Nathaniel had helped her handle the situation with Simon.

She fell silent for a moment before responding. “What could I possibly do even if I were to go? One is blind, the other is hard of hearing. Are you sure I could be of any help to him?”

Cecelia was bluntly pointing out the harsh reality. The Rainsworth family, with their high societal status and prestige, would neither respect her nor pay any attention to her requests.

Her response rendered Mason speechless for a moment.

Assuming he was about to give up, Cecelia stood up, ready to settle the bill.

Suddenly, Mason interjected, “I’d feel much more at ease with you around.”

Mason knew that Cecelia was a resilient person, capable of maintaining control over everything at Rainsworth Manor.

Before Cecelia could respond, Elliot chimed in, “Mommy, Mr. Rainsworth is so pitiful since everyone abandoned him. Can’t you help him?”

Jonathan was somewhat confused, wondering why her brother had suddenly decided to take their useless father’s side.

“All right then. I’ll take the two kids home first.” Cecelia agreed upon hearing Elliot’s words.

Mason promptly footed the bill before taking them to his car.

After sending the children home, Cecelia instructed Sven–to escort her to Rainsworth Manor.

Upon reaching home, Jonathan couldn’t help but question Elliot. “Why did you want Mommy to help our sc*mbag daddy? What if someone takes advantage of her?”

“Jon, I’d like to visit Rainsworth Manor too. Can you think of a way to get us there?” Elliot suddenly asked.

Only then did Jonathan understand his intention. He immediately rejected the idea. “No. It’s too risky.”

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained,” Elliot replied with utmost seriousness. “How can we seek revenge and reclaim what’s rightfully ours if we don’t understand the Rainsworth family?”

Deep down, he blamed the Rainsworths and his good–for–nothing father for his mother’s misfortune and their life in exile. He held them responsible for the absence of a father figure and his illness.

“I’ve been to Rainsworth Manor plenty of times; there’s nothing new to discover about them. You’re unwell, so you should get some rest,” Jonathan said indifferently before heading straight to his room.

However, Elliot was not ready to give up just yet. He quickly began formulating a plan.

While Jonathan was taking a bath, Elliot seized the opportunity to use his phone watch. He went online to find the contact number for Elena’s secretary and made the call.

Once the call connected, Elliot began speaking to the secretary. “Hi, I’m looking for Grandma Elena. This is Jon speaking.”

Since Jonathan had previously informed him about Elena’s situation, Elliot knew exactly what to say.

Elena’s secretary recognized Jonathan’s phone number and promptly relayed the call to Elena.

“Grandma Elena, Happy New Year!” Elliot greeted her warmly. “I miss you. Can I come and visit you?”

Hearing the endearing voice on the phone, Elena was instantly overjoyed. “All right. I’ll have someone pick you up right away.”

“It’s okay. I can go over by myself,” Elliot replied. “Could you have someone open the door for me once I’ve arrived?”

After finishing his conversation with Elena, Elliot hung up the phone and carefully set Jonathan’s watch aside.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Jon, I’m going to sleep now,” he said.

After lying to Jonathan, Elliot put on multiple layers of clothing and shoes, then shut his room door, feigning sleep. Once he was sure Jonathan wouldn’t suspect anything, he quietly left the room, hailed a taxi, and headed toward Rainsworth Manor.

While the cold wind howled outside the car window, a sharp glint was evident in Elliot’s gaze.
