Chapter 327 It Is Time You Returned It All
Cecilia knew that while Elliot enjoyed being pampered, he rarely threw unreasonable tantrums. His illness already caused him so much pain, and after finally taking a liking to something, he was heartbroken that he couldn’t have it
“Don’t cry, Eli,” she pleaded, her heart aching, “I’ll think of another way, okay?”
At that moment, Calvin stepped in. “Eli, how about I team up with your mom right now to help you win that plush toy, okay?” he suggested, his voice warm and reassuring.
Elliot immediately stopped crying, his large eyes filled with hope as he looked at Calvin. “Okay,” he agreed, before turning to Cecilia. “Mommy, Daddy, good luck!”
Faced with such determination, Cecilia couldn’t bring herself to say no. The three of them headed to the event registration desk together. Once the quota of ten couples was filled, the staff explained the rules of the game.
The rules were simple. The men and women stood facing each other and were blindfolded. The staff would then drop various items, like apples or pieces of paper, and the couples had to use their bodies to catch and secure them–all without using their hands.
Cecilia and Calvin stepped onto the stage, joining the other couples who were ready for the challenge. The first item brought out was a large balloon. It was tethered by a string, making it relatively easy to catch just by leaning forward.
As the host gave the signal to start, everyone leaned forward, and the balloon was easily caught between them.
Elliot cheered from the sidelines, “Go Mommy, go Daddy!”
Cecilia, determined to win the plush toy for Elliot, focused intently on the game. They successfully caught several large items in succession, though it required more contact than the rules allowed.
In the end, only two teams remained. The staff member announced the final challenge, “Now, you’ll have to catch a piece of paper!”
As the signal sounded, Cecilia moved forward again, feeling the light touch of a sheet of paper against her face. But before she could react, she found herself wrapped in Calvin’s arms.
The man, with a smooth motion, lowered his head across the paper, pressing his lips gently against hers.
For a brief moment, the world seemed to stop. All Cecilia could hear was the staff member’s voice announcing, “Congratulations, you’ve won.”
Elliot held Calvin’s phone, capturing a picture of the two of them in that tender moment.
Applause erupted around them, causing Cecilia’s checks to blindfold, it took her a long time to muster the courage to look at Calvin.

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him
Thank you 😊 for the work...
Save us the distress from waiting or we are opting for others...
Hi, good morning Could you please send more chapters? To much books reading and I always forgot the story when it comes. All characters have the same name ( Cecilia, Nathaniel, Madaline, Fabian… )and lots of the names are similar in the same story, so I got confused when I don’t have all story already written. If at least you can send 10 chapters a day…. This story is as good as Mission to Remarry I can’t wait for finish it. But let’s have a great finish and a final chapter with one year of deepest love development. Thank you! Please,please, please!!!!...
What's going on? Why so few chapters?...
This chapter is completely useless!...
Why all chapters are not until the end? The new ones are never the continuation of the previous one. Also, Could you please do not use the "swnovel.net" as a water mark on the paragraphs? I use a listening device and those paragraphs are not readable....
More chapters, please 🙏...
What's going on? Is not Cassandra married? What is she doing in her mother's House?...
Waiting for more chapters...
Thank you for the update and anticipate more. Love Elliot in this novel the most <3...
