When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2268

After saying that, Miranda walked over and yanked out the power cord.

The screen went black.

Only then did Miranda head upstairs, leaving the father and son sitting there by themselves.

Both of them were cowed by her. For a while, neither of them dared keep playing.

"Felix, go find your mother and calm her down," Adrian said, sending his son to coax Miranda.

Felix knew his mother doted on him most, so he wasn't worried.

He got up and went to Miranda's bedroom.

Miranda had just been about to call the man outside when the door suddenly got pushed open from outside.

She jolted and hurriedly put away her phone.

She'd thought Adrian had come in. She was just about to let loose when she saw Felix standing in the doorway.

"Felix, why did you come up here? Do you need something?" Miranda asked, tightening her grip on the phone.

Felix walked over to her and tried to please her.

"Mom, don't be mad anymore, okay? I know I was wrong. I'll study hard from now on and play fewer games."

He was only saying it to smooth her over. He knew Miranda liked hearing nice things.

Miranda nodded. "Okay. I know. Mom's not mad at you."

When it came to her son, she let him get away with almost anything.

"Then I'm heading back downstairs, Mom."

"Okay, go on." Miranda waved Felix off without any delay.

As soon as Felix left, she pulled out her phone in a rush and called the man on the other end.

The call connected fast.

A man's voice came through from the other side.

"What's wrong? Why are you calling me at this time?"

His voice was gentle.

The second Miranda heard it, the tension in her whole body eased.

"I missed you. Is that not allowed?" she said, dragging out the words at him.

"Of course it is. But if you're calling me during the day, you still need to be careful. Don't let your husband find out," the man said.
