When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 620 Too Scared To Sleep Alone

Cecilia looked over and saw Nathaniel holding Elliot, standing by the door.

“Mommy, I’m scared to sleep alone. I brought Daddy over. Can we all sleep together?”

Cecilia instinctively wanted to refuse since she and Nathaniel weren’t talking to each other.

Nathaniel, however, didn’t hesitate. He picked up Elliot and brought her over, placing her beside him. He then laid down himself.

‘Sleep. I have to work tomorrow,” he said in a businesslike tone.

Seeing that Elliot was in the middle and Nathaniel seemed truly disinterested in her, Cecilia decided not to drive them out. She put down her phone and went to sleep as well.

After falling asleep, Cecilia had a dream.

In her dream, she was like a flat boat in the vast ocean, bobbing up and down with the rhythm of the waves.

She let out a sound, expressing her discomfort.

It was this sound that roused her from her slumber.

In her groggy state, she felt the man’s tall and broad figure firmly holding her, his breath fanning her forehead, causing a wave of heat to roll over her.

Is that Nathaniel?

Cecilia tried to force herself to wake up and see if it was him.

As she finally managed to open her eyes and partially wake up, she saw Elliot still sleeping in the middle, with Nathaniel lying on the edge, illuminated by the faint moonlight.

Strangely, Nathaniel was sleeping on the edge, while Cecilia had somehow ended up in the middle with a large space on her right side.

Too tired to think much, Cecilia shifted a bit, moved Elliot to the middle, and ignored Nathaniel.

Falling back asleep, Cecilia found herself in the middle again when she woke up the next morning.

Nathaniel and Elliot were already up.

Confused, Cecilia wondered how she ended up in the middle since she always slept very s especially with a child beside her.

Thinking she must have been too tired yesterday, Cecilia brushed off the thought, got up, and prepared for breakfast.

She planned to ask Jonathan at lunch if he had been shunned at school.

Chapter 620 Too Scared To Sleep Alone!

+5 Pearls

At the international preschool, the atmosphere in Jonathan’s class was off today.

Apart from Terry and Dorothy, even Dante, who was Vivian’s nephew, was ignoring Jonathan.

Felix even deliberately chatted and laughed with the other children in front of Jonathan.

The teacher also stopped calling Jonathan’s name during class.

Although Jonathan wasn’t as perceptive as Elliot, he noticed the clear shift in behavior.

Most children would have struggled with getting shunned for a whole day.

Yet, Jonathan wasn’t an ordinary child. He originally didn’t like playing with those little kids.

He had only engaged with them to make friends for his mother’s sake.

Also, he didn’t want to be the odd one out and attract the others‘ suspicion. Now, with no fools. bothering him, he could focus on his studies without external distractions.

Felix, while playing, occasionally glanced at Jonathan with curiosity. He wondered, “Why isn’t he crying?”

Dante was also instructed by his mother not to play with Jonathan.

no

He looked at Jonathan sitting alone in the corner studying and felt a pang of sympathy.

Taking advantage of Jonathan going to the bathroom alone, Dante followed him.

“Jon, are you okay?”

Jonathan looked puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

“Aren’t you angry that we’re not playing with you?” Dante asked, confused.

Jonathan disdainfully replied, “If I were angry, would you play with me?”

Dante fidgeted with his fingers, feeling embarrassed.

“Jon, my mom said I shouldn’t play with you. She also said you’re not Aunt Vivian’s child, so I don’t need to treat you like an older brother.”
