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

Chapter 307 The Wealthy Are Stingy

After sending Mason and his entourage of bodyguards and housekeepers away, Cecilia returned to the house, her mind racing with thoughts of how to handle the situation with Nathaniel. Elliot had already been admitted to the hospital, as per Cecilia’s arrangements, while Jonathan was still engrossed in his books in the children’s room.

Her most pressing concern was how to break the news to Jonathan that Nathaniel was coming to stay.

Cecilia decided to visit Martha’s room first, recounting the events that had just transpired. Martha listened attentively, her brow furrowing with concern.

“You already have so much on your plate, taking care of me and the children,” Martha said, gently holding Cecilia’s hand. “Now they want you to look after Nathaniel too? The Rainsworth family’s behavior is simply appalling.”

Martha had once believed that the wealthy were more generous than ordinary people, but now she understood the truth of the old saying, “The richer someone is, the more they fear losing anything, becoming stingier they become.”

“I won’t take care of Nathaniel,” Cecilia responded firmly. “When he arrives, he’ll have to manage everything on his own.”

After making her stance clear, Cecilia voiced her concerns about Jonathan and Elliot. “The boys still don’t know about their origins. If Nathaniel comes to live with us, I’m not sure how to explain it to them.”

“Eli has met Nathaniel before, but he managed to deceive him. Plus, Eli is often in the hospital. Jon, however, is more mature than most children his age, and I’m afraid he might start to piece things together.”

Martha was at a loss, deeply troubled by the situation. The Rainsworth family was ruthless, and if they discovered that Jonathan and Elliot were their descendants, they would undoubtedly try to take the boys away.
