When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 A Child For Two Billion. 

Upon her arrival at Rainsworth Manor, Cecilia had breakfast with Nathaniel. Shortly after, she received a text message from Elena. 

In the text, Elena said she wanted to see Cecilia as there were things she needed to discuss with her. 

Cecilia then relayed the information to Nathaniel. 

“Just say no if you don’t want to go,” Nathaniel stated firmly. 

Cecilia couldn’t tell whether he was being sincere or just saying that out of courtesy. 

“I can go.” 

She then got up to meet Elena. 

In the garden outside, Elena, dressed in a traditional gown, was personally watering the flowers. Upon noticing Cecilia’s arrival, she handed the watering can to her housekeeper. 

“Replace all those that didn’t bloom.” 

“Understood.” 

She intentionally made the statement in front of Cecilia, using it as a metaphor to imply the latter’s decision of not having children. 

Naturally, Cecilia understood the implications of her words. Her expression remained calm and composed as the two of them got into the car one after the other. 

Throughout the journey, Elena was unusually calm. 

“You know, I recently came across this adorable kid who remarkably resembles Nathaniel during his childhood days.” 

Cecilia’s gaze tensed up, thinking she had discovered something, only to hear her continue, “It’s such a shame that he’s not Nathaniel’s child.” 

Cecilia’s heart was still on edge. “You should know the reason we don’t have children is not solely 

my fault.” 

Of course, Elena knew that in the three years since they got married, the number of nights Nathaniel spent at home could be counted with one’s fingers. 

“I just wanted to ask you if there has been any improvement between you two now?” 

Elena knew she could no longer rely on Stella. 

The last time, she had witnessed Cecilia and Nathaniel passionately kissing in the room. As such, all she could do was pin her hopes on Cecilia.

Cecilia gave a slight nod. 

A glimmer of joy flashed in Elena’s eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm. “I admit, what I did back then was wrong. From now on, as long as you’re carrying Nathaniel’s child, I promise to treat both you and the child well.” 

The only thing that could make the once–proud heiress of the Griffiths family, known to the outside world as an iron lady, lower her head was probably having a grandson. 

Compared to her initial aggressiveness, Elena was now exceptionally gentle. She held Cecilia’s hand, her gaze sincere as she said, “I’ll give you whatever you want.” 

Cecilia knew she had ulterior motives for her actions, which was why she promptly withdrew her hand. 

“I can’t make any promises regarding this matter,” she said. 

Elena’s smile froze. “A child for two billion. What do you say?” 

She paused, then added, “Of course, after you became pregnant, it is essential to have a comprehensive check–up. I don’t want the child to be born with any health issues. Also, after the child is born, it’s crucial that someone from the Rainsworth family takes responsibility.” 

The meaning behind Elena’s words was crystal clear. She didn’t want the child to suffer from Cecilia’s hearing impairness.
