When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602 What Should You Call Me
After arranging everything, Nathaniel finally finished his work for the day.

Upon reaching the entrance of Daltonia Villa, he didn't get out of the car, instead, he stayed seated inside.

“Boss, we're here,” Mason reminded him once more.

Only then did Nathaniel step out of the car.

Cecilia was scrolling through her phone on the couch when fatigue overcame her, and she fell asleep.

When Nathaniel entered and heard from the housekeeper that Cecilia was sleeping on the couch, he walked over and touched her arm, intending to wake her up.

“Nicholas...” she mumbled.

At the gathering that day, Nicholas had also grabbed her arm, and instinctively, she called out his name.

Immediately, Nathaniel moved his hand away.

Cecilia was jolted awake by her own sleep-talking. Opening her eyes, she found Nathaniel standing in front of her, his face a mask of icy indifference.

“You're back,” she said.

Nathaniel did not respond, making his way upstairs without a response.

Ignored, Cecilia watched him leave, not knowing what to say.

At night, Nathaniel slept in his own room, and Cecilia slept alone.

When Elliot got up to use the bathroom, he noticed it was already three in the morning. He couldn't remember when he had fallen asleep.

He headed toward Cecilia's room, pushed the door open, and found his mom lying alone on the bed.

“Where's sc*mbag daddy?” he wondered to himself.

He exited the room, making his way to Nathaniel's room and pushed the door open, finding it was unlocked.

Under the dim light, he saw Nathaniel lying motionlessly on the bed.

He was still awake at that hour. His heart clenched in anticipation when he heard the sound of the door opening. “Cecilia?”

“It's me.” The boy's soft voice rang out.

Disappointment was etched all over Nathaniel's face. “Can I help you?”

“Why aren't you in bed with Mommy?” Elliot toddled in, a look of confusion on his face.

“What should you call me?”

“Daddy.”

“Are you going to behave?”

“Yes.”

“Good boy. Behave and don't ask unnecessary questions.”

Elliot was speechless.

In the end, a huffy Elliot was escorted out of the room by Nathaniel.

After the boy was out of the room, Nathaniel closed the door with a resounding thud. Elliot tried opening it again but found it was already locked from the inside.

Left alone outside, he cursed under his breath, “Darn it...”

He then sighed, muttering to himself, “What should I do? Why are they fighting?”

Elliot felt that he needed to think carefully about how to help the two of them overcome their emotional barriers and make up.
