When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 Coding Competition 

During this period, Nathaniel’s memory was gradually returning. He remembered that as a child, he used to code. 

After Jonathan had written a portion of the code, Nathaniel reviewed it and was surprised to find no issues at all. 

After all, Jonathan was still a child, not yet adept at hiding his brilliance. 

“By the time I reach your age, I’m certain I’ll surpass you.” 

Nathaniel didn’t seem bothered. “We’ll talk about it once you’ve surpassed me.” 

An idea suddenly popped into Jonathan’s mind. “Let’s have a contest. If you lose, you’ll willingly step away from my mom, deal?” 

Nathaniel paused what he was doing, his handsome brows slightly raised. 

“And what if I were to win?” 

“Then, I’ll allow you to stay here.” 

Nathaniel chuckled lightly. “This wager you’re proposing is far too unfair to me. Even without competing against you, I can still stay here.” 

Jonathan didn’t expect his deadbeat dad to be so quick–witted. 

“What is it that you want?” 

Since sc*mbag daddy is blind, there’s no way I’d lose in a coding competition. 

“If I win, you’ll have to call me ‘Daddy” 

Jonathan was instantly taken aback. 

How could he call his sc*mbag daddy “Daddy“? 

As he hesitated, Nathaniel mocked, “What’s holding you back? It’s just ‘Daddy‘, isn’t it? Are you that afraid of losing?” 

“Who says I’m afraid of losing? Let’s do it then.” Jonathan said, his face puffed up with determination. 

By this time, Cecilia had also finished tidying up his room. As she emerged, she saw Jonathan and Nathaniel sitting in the living room, each engrossed in tapping away at their own computers. 

How did they suddenly become so friendly with each other? 

“E–Eli, it’s time for a bath.” Cecilia almost called out the wrong name. 

She agreed with what Jonathan had said. If Nathaniel had misunderstood, then so be it. After all, she planned to leave as soon as he regained his memory. 

“Mommy, just hold on a bit, take a rest first,” Jonathan said, his eyes never leaving the computer screen.

Chapter 345 Coding Competition 

“All right.” 

Ever since he turned three, Jonathan had been bathing all by himself. 

An hour later. 

Nathaniel had breached Jonathan’s computer. 

Jonathan sat on the sofa, looking empty and vacant, as if he had been hollowed out. 

“I won,” Nathaniel stated.

His memory hadn’t fully returned yet. Once it did, he would realize that the boy who just competed against him was the same brat who had successfully swindled him out of over seven billion. 

Jonathan hung his head low, his voice barely above a whisper. “…Daddy.” 

“I couldn’t quite catch that, your voice is too soft,” Nathaniel said. 

Jonathan had no choice but to raise his voice. “Daddy!” 

Nathaniel stood up, reaching out to ruffle his hair. 

“Good boy.” 

The next day, Cecilia saw that Jonathan looked as deflated as a balloon with no air, completely listless. 

When she asked him what was wrong, he wouldn’t say a word. 

“Mom, let’s not delve into that, just take me to school, okay?” 

“All right.” 

Cecilia drove Jonathan to kindergarten. 

They had risen quite early as it was a few hours away from Tudela Preschool. 

Jonathan was yawning incessantly, as if he hadn’t slept a wink the night before.
