When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661 Looking For Eli
Cecilia walked a little too fast and nearly collided with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel gently lifted his hand, assisting her.

“Thank you.” After expressing her gratitude, Cecilia asked him, “Are you looking for Eli?”

“Mhm,” replied Nathaniel.

“Better hurry in then, or he'll be asleep soon,” Cecilia whispered, her breath warm against Nathaniel's throat.

His throat tightened slightly. Then, in a deep voice, he said, “All right.”

Not long after Cecilia left, she finished freshening up and was about to return to her room to rest. It was then she heard Elliot causing a fuss, demanding she come and sleep with him.

Elliot was crying rather pitifully. He had accepted sleeping alone while he was outside, but at home, all he wanted was to sleep alongside his parents.

Cecilia had no choice but to lie next to Elliot. Meanwhile, Nathaniel settled on the other side.

The three slept together, with Elliot holding their hands, one in each of his. He then brought both hands to his chest and asked, “Mommy, can you two hold hands?”

Cecilia asked, “Why?”

“All the other kids at preschool had parents who would hold hands together. When you two are with me, I never see you two holding hands. Could you maybe hold hands?”

Cecilia blushed slightly. “Actually, some moms and dads don't hold hands either—”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Nathaniel had already swiftly taken hold of her hand.

Elliot was still unsatisfied. “Daddy, you two's fingers need to interlock.”

Naturally, Nathaniel wouldn't spoil his son's good intentions, so he interlocked his fingers with Cecilia's.

Cecilia gazed at the hand that Nathaniel was holding. For some reason, she felt her cheeks were on fire.

She thought she had long lost interest in Nathaniel, but perhaps she couldn't ignore his remarkably attractive face.
