When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 573 I Did Not Force You

Nathaniel shook his head. “No thanks, I’m not hungry. I don’t want to eat anymore.”

“You have to cat another one,” Elliot insisted. He was being quite unreasonable.

Cecilia looked at Nathaniel and Elliot and entered.

“Eli, that’s quite impolite of you.”

Hearing that, Elliot no longer dared to force Nathaniel to eat.

After Nathaniel left, he was unsatisfied. He picked up a small piece and took a bite. The spiciness almost made him jump.

“It’s so spicy.”

He grabbed the glass of water from the table and took a drink.

The hot water he had prepared for Nathaniel was still on the table.

After he took a sip, the spiciness seemed to intensify.

“Darn it…”

He was certain that he had been deceived by Nathaniel.

Sc*mbag daddy’s acting skills are just too good.

He could barely manage a bite, yet the man had effortlessly polished off the whole thing.

Elliot looked at the remaining four pieces on the table, ready to discard them into the trash bin. But before he could throw them away, Cecilia appeared before him, also noticing the faint trace. of mustard on them.

“Eli, can you tell me what you’re doing?”

Elliot’s eyes welled up

“Mommy, I- with tears.

“There’s mustard in it. Why did you give it to Mr. Rainsworth?”

Elliot nervously poked his index fingers together.

“Mommy, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

Cecilia didn’t blame him. Instead, she crouched down and asked, “I’m just curious. Why are you targeting Mr. Rainsworth?”

Nathaniel was Elliot’s biological father. As they grew older, they were bound to find out.

Cecilia never wanted them to harbor hatred toward their father from a young age.

Elliot didn’t dare to admit that it was because Nathaniel had gone back on his word and forgotten to bring him to the office.

He could only make up a random excuse.

“Mommy, you always sleep with Mr. Rainsworth and never with me.”

Cecilia’s face turned red in an instant.

“Sorry, I’ll sleep with you tonight, okay?”

Elliot kept nodding. “Okay.”

It could be a good lesson for Nathaniel as well.

In the living room, Nathaniel downed glass after glass of water, yet his throat still felt as if it was on fire.

That little rascal!

Why did he start to target me again?

After giving it some thought, Nathaniel recalled the promise he had made to Elliot last night.

When Cecilia went off, Nathaniel called out to him and said, “I’ll take you to the office tomorrow. I got caught up with something today and forgot.”

He hadn’t slept well last night, preoccupied with thoughts about Eric’s situation. Consequently, he forgot his promise to take Elliot to the office.

“Hmph, I don’t want to go anymore.”

Nathaniel’s brow arched slightly. “Are you sure?”

Elliot hesitated, then said, “I’ve been waiting for you all day. I hate you!”

Nathaniel flashed a small smile. “All right, I’ll take you there tomorrow. I promise.”

Elliot’s face held a coy, arrogant look.

“You said it yourself. I didn’t force you.”

“I know.”

Only then did Elliot feel happy.

And he could share a bed with Cecilia.

However, he didn’t spend much time sleeping with her.

At night, Nathaniel entered the room, lifted him from the bed, and relocated him to the adjacent room.

When Elliot woke up, he rubbed his eyes.

“Mommy…”

I remember sleeping with Mommy just the night before. How did I end up in a different place?

It must be sc*mbag daddy!

Nathaniel had already risen and was seated downstairs.

“Mr. Rainsworth, did you carry me to another room?” Elliot asked angrily.

Nathaniel looked up at him and replied placidly. “You were sleepwalking last night. No amount of calling could wake you up.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
