When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 209 Apologize To Mom

Cecilia secretly stashed away Elliot’s sketches.

Spring Forest Manor was so big that it would take at least two days to explore it fully. That was without accounting for the surveillance cameras hidden in every corner.

Nathaniel had changed into a set of casual clothes. His tall and upright figure was quite striking. His dark eyes reflected the scene of a mother and child playing on the carpet.

Time passed peacefully, yet it inexplicably left a bitter taste.

Noticing Nathaniel, Elliot quickly greeted him, “Uncle Nathaniel, would you like to join us?”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Just a moment ago, he gave Nathaniel a few kicks, but it didn’t feel satisfying enough.

Cecilia wanted to stop Elliot badly. She was worried that if he and Nathaniel spent too much time together, they might discover each other’s identities.

After all, the ties of blood were undeniable.

However, Nathaniel had already walked toward them. “What are you guys up to?”

A thought flashed through Elliot’s mind.

“Let’s play house! You can be Dad, and Mommy can be Mom. I will be your child, okay?”

The color instantly drained from Cecilia’s face.

Nathaniel also froze.

Why is this brat acting like a girl? He enjoys playing house?

“Uncle Nathaniel, you don’t think I’m taking advantage of you, do you? My Daddy is a tycoon. You’re taking an advantage of him by pretending to be him.” Elliot pouted slightl he was doing Nathaniel a favor.

“Eli, don’t put Uncle Nathaniel in a difficult position…”

appearing as if

Before Cecilia could finish speaking, Nathaniel interrupted him and said, “Fine, I’ll pretend to be your Dad.”

Upon seeing him agree, Elliot instantly clung onto his thigh and wiped his tears and snot on his freshly changed trousers. “Dad, I missed you so much. I thought I was going to die from missing you.

Nathaniel instinctively wanted to push him away, but for some reason, all his anger seemed to dissipate the moment he called him “Dad“.

On the side, Cecilia gulped as she watched Elliot clinging to Nathaniel and calling him “Dad“.

She knew that although the two children had never openly expressed a desire for a father, deep down, they had always yearned for one.

If only Elliot knew, he would be overjoyed to realize that the person he was holding was his very own father.

Yet she didn’t dare to tell Nathaniel the truth…

Cecilia surreptitiously clenched her hand, her fingertips digging deep into her flesh.

After shedding tears for a while, Elliot blinked his large eyes and looked at Nathaniel. “Dad, why did you drive Mom and me away? Do you have any idea how hard these years have been for us?”

Before Nathaniel could respond, he asked again with a pitiful tone. “Was that vixen really worth it for you to abandon your wife and child?”

Had it not been them just playing house, Cecilia would have thought that Elliot had already discovered the truth.

Nathaniel really didn’t know where Elliot picked up such things. Could he have seen it from the television dramas?

He could only respond in a placating manner, saying. “Silly, how will I possibly abandon you and your mother? It’s all a misunderstanding.

Nathaniel was especially gentle and patient with Elliot. He really began to play house with him.

Elliot’s mood instantly brightened. “That’s wonderful. I knew you wouldn’t abandon your obedient son and wife. Dad

With that, he clung to Nathaniel’s thigh again.

“Dad, since Mom and I are both home now, shouldn’t you show some kind of response?”

Nathaniel was somewhat bewildered.

Frowning, Cecilia asked. “Eli what do you want Uncle Nathaniel to express?”

“Other kids have both their Mom and Dad to raise them, but I only have Mom. Mom has to do everything from changing my diapers to feeding me.” Elliot said, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at Nathaniel. “Dad, you need to apologize to Mom first. Tell her you’re sorry.”

Apologize…

Nathaniel looked toward Cecilia, but for some reason, he couldn’t say the words out loud.

Elliot lowered his voice and whispered. “Uncle Nathaniel, you’re not backing out, are you? If you back out, no one will want to play with you in the future.”
