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

Chapter 1148 Teach That Brat A Proper Lesson

“Eli you’re a big kid now. You should be sleeping on your own,” Cecilia said gently, but this time, she didn’t agree to Elliot’s request.

She was heavily pregnant and finding it more and more difficult to sleep, so sharing the bed with her energetic little boy was out of the question. For the first time, Cecilia rejected Elliot’s plea, and the young boy didn’t quite know how to react. “Mommy…” Elliot began, hoping to plead his case with a pout, but Cecilia cut him off before he could go any further. “That’s enough, Eli. No girl likes a boy who cries,” she said, trying to be firm but loving at the same time.

Left with no other choice, Elliot sighed in defeat. He clutched his small pillow tightly and retreated back to his own room, looking dejected.

However, his mind remained uneasy. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something might go wrong, so he picked up his wristwatch phone and called Jonathan. “Jon, you don’t think anything bad will happen to Mommy tonight, do you?” Elliot asked, his voice full of concern.

Jonathan’s response was calm and logical. “It’s too early for anything to happen. Mommy’s only just gone to the Rainsworth residence, and Grandma Elena is there too. They won’t make any moves this soon.”

Hearing this, Elliot breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good”

With his worries eased, Elliot finally managed to get some sleep.

The next morning, Elliot woke up early, immediately thinking about his mother. He wanted to check on her to make sure everything was okay.

Cecilia, however, was already awake. She hadn’t slept much, likely because she wasn’t used to the unfamiliar bed. “Eli, you’re up. Go freshen up, and let’s head to Grandma’s for breakfast,” she said with a smile.
