SWNOVELS Chapter 501
Chapter 501 Let Go Of Me
As soon as Cecilia returned home, she handed over the food she had bought to Elliot so that he could stave off his hunger.
Afterward, she busied herself in the kitchen, paying no further attention to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel had thought she was just in a temporary foul mood. However, Cecilia still didn’t pay him any attention during dinner.
Elliot had also noticed the tension between them, and he couldn’t be happier.
Se*mbag daddy must have upset Mommy, right?
Haha, never thought it would happen to him.
During mealtime, Elliot deliberately served Cecilia some food in front of Nathaniel and even. asked her to feed him.
“Mommy, I’m craving chicken. It’s too far away. Can you feed me?”
“Okay.”
Cecilia took care of Elliot diligently.
Nathaniel made several attempts to pick up his food but failed each time, all the while ignoring her.
After everyone had finished their meal, they all gathered to watch television together.
In the living room, only Cecilia and Elliot were conversing.
When Cecilia went to use the bathroom, Elliot took the opportunity to boast in front of Nathaniel. “Mr. Rainsworth, you understand now, right? I am Mommy’s forever treasure. You’re nothing more than an item that can be replaced at any time.”
A hint of helplessness shrouded Nathaniel’s furrowed brows and eyes.
“Shut your mouth.”
“I won’t.” Elliot made a face at him. “So, what did you do to upset Mommy?”
Mommy is such a good person. She hardly ever gets angry.
Upon hearing those words, Nathaniel frowned. “What would a brat like you understand?”
“You’re the real brat, hmph.”
Elliot stopped asking questions, thinking to himself that as long as Cecilia no longer paid attention to Nathaniel, it didn’t matter what the reason was.
He settled down to watch television.
The television show was unbearably dull. In the past, they would endure it just to keep Martha company. But now, with Martha no longer around, the show seemed even more pointless.
Before long, he was yawning incessantly.
When Cecilia had prepared the hot water for his bath, she found that Elliot had already fallen asleep while leaning on Nathaniel’s shoulder.
Cecilia didn’t want to disturb Elliot, thinking that skipping a bath for a night wouldn’t be a big deal. She was just about to pick up Elliot when Nathaniel beat her to it.
“I’ll take him back to his room,” he said softly.
Cecilia remained silent, which was taken as her agreement. Currently pregnant, she found it somewhat inconvenient to carry Elliot back upstairs.
Upon arriving at Elliot’s room, Nathaniel carefully set him down, then walked out and closed the door behind him.
Cecilia was about to go for a bath when Nathaniel grabbed her hand.
“Ceci.”
Cecilia paid him no mind and pried his hand open.
Nathaniel decisively pulled her into his embrace. “Don’t be mad. It won’t happen in the future.”
This was the only promise he could make. After all, what man could tolerate his wife making a fool out of him?
“This isn’t about the future; it’s about now. Besides, what good does it do for you to apologize me?” Cecilia was still quite upset. “You put him in the ICU. Do you realize that’s a crime?”
Nathaniel felt a lump in his throat. “He provoked me first.”
Had it not been for Calvin repeatedly provoking him in person, he would not have resorted to violence.
“Would you kill me if I upset you in the future?” Cecilia asked in return.
Nathaniel was left utterly speechless.
“Let go of me, or I’ll bite you.” Cecilia lowered her head and bit down on Nathaniel’s hand.
“I’ll apologize to him and compensate him, okay?” Nathaniel proposed with a resigned tone.
Cecilia let go of him and looked at him again. “How can you apologize or compensate when we can’t even get in touch with him?”
Nathaniel firmly promised.
He had known from the start how important Calvin was to Cecilia. If he had realized it earlier, he wouldn’t have personally instigated action against him.
