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

Chapter 973 Her True Colors

While Jonathan was still at a loss for what to do, Cecilia had already stood up, satisfied.

“Vivian, I hate to trouble you again, but could you please look after Eli for me today?” Cecilia requested.

Vivian was somewhat puzzled. “You mentioned on the phone that you had an important matter to attend to. What exactly is it? You’re being all mysterious.”

“Just some urgent work that requires handling even on a weekend,” Cecilia replied, unable to share the specifics with Vivian.

Although Vivian was still curious, she didn’t press further. “You’re pregnant now,” she reminded, “so you really must be extra cautious with work and such.”

Cecilia nodded. “I know.”

Afterward, she turned to Elliot and said, “Eli, Vivian will take you and Jon out to play today, so you must behave yourself, all right?”

Elliot was somewhat puzzled. He couldn’t understand why his mother would choose to send him away instead of letting him stay at home.

If I had stayed home, wouldn’t it save Ms. Kennedy the trouble?

The reason for Cecilia’s decision was that if she had left Elliot at home, Jessica would surely notice something wrong. And if Jessica continued to follow her, it would certainly be annoying.

“Don’t worry, Mommy. Even if I misbehave, Jonathan is here. He’ll set me straight,” Elliot said in a soothing tone.
