When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576 He Is Not Bad At All
Elliot was relentless in his fussing. The heart of the issue was that he had fallen ill and was genuinely feeling miserable.

Cecilia patiently coaxed him.

“Mommy, I just want Mr. Rainsworth to spend some time with us.”

“All right then, I'll call Mr. Rainsworth over. Make sure you behave yourself.”

Cecilia was truly at a loss.

Rising from the bed, Cecilia ventured outside. Nathaniel was still awake, busily engrossed in his work in the study.

She knocked on the door, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Nathaniel paused what he was doing and looked toward the door.

“Aren't you done yet?”

“Almost done. Is there something you need?” Nathaniel asked seriously.

Gathering her courage, Cecilia said, “Come to bed with us once you're done with your work.”

Nathaniel's mind was no longer on his work when he heard that. His expression remained unchanged as he simply responded, “Okay.”

Cecilia returned to the room and informed Elliot that Nathaniel would be arriving soon.

She had thought it would take at least half an hour, but to her surprise, Nathaniel had already changed into his pajamas and came over in just a few minutes.

Upon seeing him, Elliot immediately said, “Mr. Rainsworth, didn't you say that I sleepwalk? Hold me tonight, so I won't wander around.”

With long strides, Nathaniel swiftly moved forward and lay down on the bed.

Elliot patted his other side and turned to Cecilia. “Mommy, can you sleep hugging me too?”

“Okay.”

Cecilia was at a loss for how to handle him.

And so, Elliot slept between the two of them. As they both held him, their hands inadvertently touched each other.

Elliot had never experienced such happiness as he did that day.

Cecilia and Nathaniel held him as he slept, and he quickly drifted off into dreamland.

Cecilia was still awake. Through the dim light, she saw the faint scar on Nathaniel's stern face. She raised her hand, wanting to touch it.

Nathaniel was one step ahead. He took hold of her hand and asked quietly, “Can't sleep?”
