When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1889

Chapter 1889 Treat Both Of You Fairly
Every time her other son was brought up, Elena's mood would instantly drop. She couldn't understand how such deep conflict could exist between her two children.

Nathaniel understood what his mother was going through. He cast a cold look at Nicholas and said, “This isn't something that can be settled with just an apology. Uncle Robert, don't think siding with Nicholas is going to get you off the hook.”

His tone was calm—not too soft, not too harsh—but it carried a weight that sent chills down spines.

Robert's smile slowly vanished.

Miranda, his daughter-in-law, stepped forward. “Nathaniel, come on, we're all family. Your Uncle Robert made a mistake this time. Can't you find it in your heart to let it go?”

Adrian spoke up, too. “Nathaniel, we really do know we were wrong. My father's getting older, and sometimes he just doesn't think straight.”

Robert knew it wasn't the time to argue. “Nathaniel, just tell me what you want. I'll give it to you as an apology,” he offered.

Nathaniel had been waiting to hear that. “I want the piece of land you just got downtown.”

That land had originally belonged to Niel. After his death, everything went to Robert. This particular plot was priceless—something even money couldn't easily buy. It had been a reward given to Nathaniel's great-grandfather years ago in recognition of his service.

When Robert got his hands on it, it was like acquiring an entire commercial hub. Whether he planned to build or invest, it was a gold mine.

“No way!” Robert rejected instantly. He'd been after that land for years, but Niel had held onto it tightly. Now that it was finally his, he had big plans for it.

“Then get ready to receive a lawyer's letter from my company,” Nathaniel said, ending the conversation without another glance.

Robert opened his mouth to say more, but Nathaniel had already lost all interest. He turned to a housekeeper and said, “Please show our guest out.”

The housekeeper politely asked the whole family to leave.
