When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 An Orphan
Elena pinched her palm, refusing to admit her own mistakes. She lowered her voice and said to Cecilia, “If it weren't for you not bearing a child despite being married to Nathaniel for such a long time, I would not have been in such a rush to find someone to replace him.”

In the realm of family businesses, it was utterly absurd for a boss not to have any children.

“You've no right to lecture me. Who doesn't love their own child?” Elena snapped before leaving.

Cecilia stood there, feeling an inexplicable wave of sadness wash over her because her mother never showed her any affection.

That was why she had stepped forward earlier, meddling in affairs that weren't her business.

As she was lost in thought, her hand was suddenly grasped from behind.

“Thank you,” Nathaniel said, his mood better than it had ever been before.

When he grabbed her hand, Cecilia snapped back to reality and quickly pulled away. “You don't need to thank me. I was just being impulsive because I felt sorry for you. It's nothing more than that.”

After saying that, she immediately headed toward Martha's room, wondering if the commotion downstairs had disturbed the latter.

Fortunately, Jonathan had accompanied Sven to go shopping and didn't see Elena.

Meanwhile, Elena was on her way home, nursing a throbbing headache.

Cecilia has grown bold, daring to lecture me, her own mother-in-law!

She pinched the bridge of her nose, urging the driver to speed up.

The car had just passed through the center of the town. Encountering some traffic, it was forced to slow down.

Feeling frustrated, Elena opened the window. It was at that moment she spotted a familiar figure not far off.

“Jon! What are you doing here?”

Elena instructed the driver to stop the car, got out, and ran after Jonathan.

Recently, her life had been rather hectic. However, Elena was persistently investigating Jonathan's background.

She had previously assumed that Ernest was Jonathan's father. However, upon privately questioning Ernest later on, she discovered that this was not the case.
