SWNOVELS Chapter 607
Chapter 607 Please Do Not Be Mad
“Daddy, Mommy, can you please stop fighting?” Elliot, ever the actor, quickly fell into character, his eyes already brimming with tears..
Both Cecilia and Nathaniel fell silent.
With a pitiful look in his eyes, Elliot turned to Cecilia. “Mommy, I don’t want to go to kindergarten anymore. Please don’t blame Daddy. He only agreed because he couldn’t bear to see me upset.”
Cecilia was distressed to hear him say that.
He’s making it sound like I’m fine with seeing him upset! I took care of him for years! Why can’t I compare to his father, who has only been around for a few months?
“Mommy, please don’t be mad, okay?” To help Nathaniel, Elliot had no choice but to humble himself and divert his mother’s attention.
He hoped that by acting adorable, Cecilia would calm down and stop being angry at Nathaniel. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as he had hoped..
“Eli, if you want to go to kindergarten, then go. But if anything happens, you must drop out right away.” Instead of hugging Elliot as usual, she walked straight past him after finishing her sentence.
Elliot panicked, realizing that Cecilia was not only mad at Nathaniel but at himself, too.
Cecilia, wanting some alone time to calm down, retreated to the music room, shutting the door behind her.
Jonathan criticized Elliot, “Are you out of your mind? Mommy raised you, yet you defended. Nathaniel?”
“Jon, don’t you want a complete family?” Elliot retorted. “Do you like being labeled as an unwanted child or a b’stard?”
Jonathan fell silent. A moment later, he looked at Elliot’s stubborn expression and said, “I’ll say it again, I’ll only call him ‘Daddy‘ when Mommy is ready to accept him.”
“Jon…”
“Stop that. That doesn’t work on me.”
Jonathan settled on the couch in the living room, flipping through a book.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel instructed Mason to find a kindergarten for Elliot that was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities and resources.
Elliot waited for Cecilia to emerge from the music room. Knowing he had hurt her feelings, he decided to wait by the door of the music room.
Cecilia spent a long time inside. When she finally emerged, she saw Elliot curled up by the door nodding off.
“Eli, why are you sitting here?” she asked.
“Mommy.” Elliot instantly woke up, pulling out a small bouquet of flowers from seemingly nowhere and offering them to Cecilia. “Mommy, please don’t be mad anymore. I love you more than Daddy. I’m not going to kindergarten anymore.”
A pang of sorrow struck Cecilia. She squatted down and embraced him. “Eli, you and your brother are my everything. How could I ever be mad at you? I’m just upset that I couldn’t give you a healthy body. If you were like your brother, you’d be able to do anything you wanted.”
Elliot breathed a sigh of relief, happy that his mother wasn’t really mad at him.
He patted Cecilia on the shoulder and comforted her, “Mommy, don’t be sad. I’ll get better soon. When I do, can we travel abroad as a family? I’d like to see the ocean.”
“All right.” Cecilia agreed.
As the mother and son were engrossed in their conversation, they failed to notice a tall figure. standing not too far away.
Elliot was the first to notice Nathaniel’s arrival, looking up at him. “Daddy.”
Cecilia, taken aback, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Elliot, ever tactful, knew it was time for him to leave. “Mommy, I’m thirsty. I’m going to get some water.”
He left, leaving Nathaniel and Cecilia alone.
Nathaniel approached Cecilia and said, “I’ve arranged a kindergarten for Eli. It’s not the same one as Jon’s; it’s equipped with professional medical facilities. I’ll also have someone supervising Eli around the clock.”
