When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 723 Toss The Child Aside

The call was ended, and Nathaniel tightly gripped his phone, a chill evident in his eyes.

Mason came over considerately to explain, “Mr. Rainsworth, Cecilia is pregnant now. She really needs to rest more.”

“Pregnant?” Nathaniel asked, puzzled.

Fearing that Nathaniel might misunderstand, Mason added, “Yes. She’s pregnant with your child.”

Nathaniel never imagined that he and Cecilia would actually have a child together.

Of course, he wouldn’t wait for Cecilia to go to him the next day. Despite the pain coursing through his body, he rose and said, “Let’s go back to Tudela.”

He had no idea that an even greater surprise awaited upon his return to Tudela.

Mason also felt that Nathaniel’s health condition was fluctuating, and it was crucial to return as soon as possible. If their adversaries discovered this and targeted them, they would be in serious trouble.

Therefore, they took a private jet back to Tudela overnight.

Mason’s concerns were not without reason.

Before Nathaniel left, Ethan, the eldest son of the Murdock family who had once begged him for mercy, had already received the news.

He was just about to discreetly send someone overseas to deal with Nathaniel, but to his surprise, Nathaniel had already left.

Ethan’s eyes darkened when he heard the news. “He’s just lucky.”

Seated on the couch, Francis, the younger brother, was exchanging messages with his fiancée, Yvette, who also happened to be Stella’s best friend.

Yvette did not know that Francis was holding Stella in his arms.

“Ethan, there’s no reason to be cautious around Nathaniel anymore. He’s blind now. We can still seize the opportunity when he returns,” Francis said.

The thing Ethan disliked the most was Francis‘ frivolous attitude.

A few days prior, Francis saw Stella at the nightclub, and he simply had to bring her back with him.

It was important to note that Stella was no angel. Back then, she single–handedly had Nathaniel and Zachary going in circles.

“You’re about to get married. Take it easy.”

Ethan merely left a simple reminder.

Francis dismissed it nonchalantly, saying, “I know.”

He didn’t find much appeal in Yvette, who lacked a sense of romance.

Stella leaned against Francis, her heart filled with resentment.

Had it not been for Cecilia, she wouldn’t have found herself committed to someone from the Murdock family.

Everyone knew about the two brothers, Ethan and Francis. Ethan was ruthless but only of average ability. On the other hand, Francis was constantly infatuated with the pleasures of life. They were simply no match for Nathaniel and Nicholas.

When Nathaniel returned to Tudela on his private plane, it was pouring rain.

Mason held up the umbrella for him, carefully guiding the way, fearful that he might fall.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of Daltonia Villa.

That day was a weekend, so Elliot didn’t have to attend classes. Upon hearing from the housekeeper that Nathaniel had returned, he scurried out to check.

In the pouring rain, Nathaniel was dressed in a sharply tailored suit, an aura of icy aloofness surrounding him, deterring anyone from approaching.

Immediately, Elliot sensed that something was off with Nathaniel.

At first, Elliot thought his intuition had misled him. He walked over and asked, “Sc*mbag daddy, where’s Mommy? Didn’t she come back with you?”

Mason hadn’t had the chance to tell Nathaniel that he had two sons.

Out of the blue, Nathaniel heard a tender voice by his leg, causing his sharp eyebrows to furrow deeply.

Before he could speak, Elliot was certain that he was in a bad mood. Slyly, he wrapped his arms around Nathaniel’s thigh.

“Hehe! Did Mommy and Mr. Reese upset you? If you beg me, maybe I can put in a good word for you with Mommy. How does that sound?” Elliot asked.

Beg? Nathaniel was utterly baffled by Elliot’s words.

He bent down and managed to grab hold of Elliot’s overalls. “Where did this kid come from?”

After speaking, he was about to toss the child outside.

In a rush, Mason quickly stepped in to stop Nathaniel. “Mr. Rainsworth, t–this is your child, Mr.

Elliot.”

Elliot was utterly bewildered.
