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

Chapter 386 Elliot Returns

Cecilia choked upon hearing the comment.

With the multitude of relatives Nathaniel has–parents, siblings, cousins–how could he possibly be an orphan?

However, to deceive the child, she could only play along. “Yes, indeed. That’s why he is so pitiful, and I have no choice but to adopt him for the time being. Also, he’s a bit of an oddball. He might say a bunch of strange things. You mustn’t believe him, okay, Eli?” Cecilia continued to mentally prepare her son.

Elliot was an exceptional actor, his large eyes seemingly filled with trust for his mother. He nodded repeatedly, “Yeah, don’t worry, Mommy. I won’t believe him.”

When Cecilia met his innocent gaze, she felt a pang of guilt, knowing that she shouldn’t be deceiving him.

However, she was left with no choice.

In her mind, Elliot had taken over her, always behaving like an ordinary child.

Jonathan, on the other hand, had taken over Nathaniel. When it came comparing memory or intelligence, he would put adults to shame.

Jon knows that Nathaniel is his father, but Eli is still unaware.

Cecilia had decided to wait until Elliot was a bit older before revealing the truth to him.

With that, they journeyed back home.

Elliot was indeed the life of the party. As soon as he returned home, he would cheerfully call out to his brother, grandmother, and Nathaniel incessantly.
