When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 1259

Chapter 1259 A Crying Act
Elliot's eyes sparkled, and he responded softly, “It's a deal.”

At that moment, Cecilia emerged from the kitchen. “What are you two talking about?”

“It's nothing.” Elliot lied by saying, “Sc*mbag daddy asked me to tell the others that the meal is ready.”

Upon hearing that, Cecilia didn't ask any further questions.

That day, Nathaniel joined them for dinner, and the people at the table were somewhat uneasy. However, Elliot livened up the atmosphere. He would occasionally engage Nathaniel in conversation, asking him where he had been recently and what he had been up to.

He also mentioned how much he missed Nathaniel.

Cecilia quietly observed, feeling a sense of guilt.

She had forgotten that a child also needed a father's love. Seeing how much Elliot adored Nathaniel, it seemed she would have to allow her children more interaction with their father in the future.

Finally, the meal was finished.

Not wanting to disturb the family, Lucille and the other two made excuses to return to their rooms.

There, only Nathaniel, Cecilia, and Elliot remained.

Nathaniel stood up and said, “Ceci, these are the gifts I've bought for everyone. Later, could you please help me distribute the gifts to them? I'll head back first.”

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Elliot.

The realization hit Elliot instantly. As Nathaniel was about to leave, he rushed over, wrapping his arms tightly around Nathaniel's thigh.

“Sc*mbag daddy, why are you leaving? Did Mommy and I make you angry? Don't you want us anymore?” Elliot's eyes were brimming with tears. His crying act was nothing short of masterful.

Nathaniel feigned difficulty and said, “Obviously, that's the case.”

“Why, then? Why are you leaving us behind? We're a family, aren't we? A family is supposed to live together,” Elliot said.

Cecilia stepped forward immediately, saying, “Eli, haven't I mentioned this before? We currently have three other ladies staying at our place, so it's not convenient.”

“What's the inconvenience? The house is so spacious. Can't you and Daddy just share a room, Mommy?” Elliot was no longer buying into that logic.

After all, it was a mansion instead of an ordinary house.
