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

Chapter 1140 The Clients Are Pulling Out

Elena had a strong urge to care for her grandson. Her daily routine, apart from mingling with the high society ladies over coffee and pampering herself with luxurious self–care treatments, was attending a few significant meetings here and there. Aside from these commitments, she barely had anything else occupying her time.

“All right then, I’ll bring Elliot over for a few days‘ stay,” Cecilia finally agreed.

With that, Elliot ended up following Elena to the Rainswroth residence, which spared Cecilia the hassle of making trips back and forth.

“That’s fantastic!” Elena’s eyes lit up with happiness. “Isn’t there a meeting today? I’ll attend, and when it’s over, I’ll bring everyone back with me,” she offered, her excitement clearly visible.

“Okay,” came the simple response from Cecilia. She was contemplating inviting Elena to the upcoming meeting. It might liven things up a bit.

Later that morning, at Orion Corporation, it was already past eight–thirty by the time Cecilia began prepping for the day’s meeting. Just as she was getting organized, Nicholas called her into his office.

“Ceci, have you heard what happened with Nathaniel?” Nicholas asked.

Cecilia nodded. “Yes, Mom told me about it first thing this morning. She mentioned that they’d found him and asked me to stay at the Rainswroth residence with Elliot, so I can keep an eye on Nathaniel more easily.”
