When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 166 Threading On Thin Icel

Noticing something was off with Cecilia, Elliot pouted.

“Mommy, did you forget something?”

Cecilia snapped back to reality. “What?”

“You forgot to kiss me.” Elliot gestured toward his own face.

Cecilia immediately planted a kiss on his cheek.

“Feeling better now?”

“Mm!”

The time Cecilia spent with Elliot brought her a warmth she had never experienced before.

All the grievances she had suffered these past few days had dissipated into thin air.

As their time together slipped away, the afternoon approached. Cecilia gave Elliot various reminders and advice.

Unlike his time abroad, he was particularly understanding today, not throwing a tantrum and forbidding her from leaving.

When the time came for Cecilia to return to Tudela, Elliot had put up a fuss, refusing to let her leave. He only relented after much coaxing.

Cecilia always felt that his younger son was no different from ordinary children. Only Jonathan’s intelligence was slightly higher.

During the ride back, Cecilia’s heartache was palpable. She fixated on the rearview mirror, only averting her gaze when the manor had vanished from sight.

Nathaniel sat beside her, initially intending to talk about her birthday, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.
