When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 573

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 eat 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.

<i>Sc*mbag daddy's acting skills are just too good.</i>

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 with tears.

“Mommy, I—”

“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.”

“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>I remember sleeping with Mommy just the night before. How did I end up in a different place?</i>

<i>It must be sc*mbag daddy!</i>

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.”
