Chapter 371 Sleeping With A Child


    Under the dim yellow light, Jonathan’s face was streaked with tears.


    Upon seeing Cecilia, he quickly wiped away his tears. “Mommy.”


    Cecilia was momentarily stunned.


    “Jon, why are you crying?”


    She had never seen him cry before.


    Jonathan immediately turned away, ensuring his tears were thoroughly wiped before he dared to look at Cecilia. “I wasn’t crying.”


    He looked toward who was standing behind Cecilia, feeling a bit apprehensive.


    Half an hour ago, he had gotten up to use the bathroom and noticed that the lights in the room were still on. However, both Cecilia’s room and Nathaniel’s room were empty.


    He thought that Cecilia had been kidnapped by Nathaniel. He med himself for not watching. over her properly, which was why he was crying.


    Unexpectedly, he was caught red–handed. He found it truly embarrassing.


    “When I was in the bathroom, I identally got water in my eyes,” Jonathan exined earnestly.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Cecilia did not expose him.


    She thought he had gotten up to use the bathroom alone, and not seeing her there, he was scared and started crying.


    Jonathan quickly changed the subject. “Mommy, where did you and Mr. Rainsworth go?”


    Not wanting him to worry, Cecilia lied, “We didn’t go anywhere. We just went out for a stroll.”


    Going for a stroll in such cold weather?


    I spent nearly half an hour in worry.


    So they were strolling outside for at least half an hour?


    Jonathan cast a wary nce at Nathaniel. Did he deceive Mommy?


    Mommy is too kind–hearted, while sc*mbag daddy is full of cunning schemes.


    Sensing his gaze, Nathaniel said, “It was too cold outside, so we took a stroll in the car.”


    He said this on purpose, leading Jonathan’s thoughts astray.


    A man and a woman in the car in the middle of the night….


    Although Jonathan was just a child, he had watched many television shows and picked up some knowledge from them.


    In an instant, he felt a sense of danger and no longer cared about the potential embarrassment.


    “Mr. Rainsworth, could you stay with me tonight? I can’t sleep.”


    I absolutely can’t let him and Mommy sleep together. I have no choice but to sacrifice myself.


    “No,” Nathaniel firmly declined. “I prefer to sleep alone.”


    “What about when you get married in the future? Will you still sleep alone?” Jonathan asked innocently.


    Nathaniel’s lips curled up into a cold, sarcastic smile. “Have you ever taken a biology ss? Do you know that when a man and a womane together, it’s like they be one-


    Before he could finish his sentence, Cecilia abruptly grabbed his arm.


    “Shut your mouth!” She lowered her voice, her cars turning so red.


    How could he discuss such matters with a child?


    He’s not acting his age!


    Nathaniel fell silent and said no more.


    Jonathan, however, was filled with curiosity. “Mommy, why is it that when a man and a womane together, it’s like they be one?”


    He was quite intelligent. There was little he didn’t understand.


    Cecilia leaned over and exined to him, “Don’t listen to Mr. Rainsworth’s nonsense. He’s just pulling your leg. If you’re scared, you can sleep with me tonight.”


    Jonathan’s little face instantly turned rosy.


    I’m practically grown up now. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to still be sleeping with Mommy?


    However, opportunities like this are hard toe by…


    Just as he was hesitating on whether to agree, Nathaniel scooped him up from behind and headed toward his own room. “I don’t mind sleeping with a child for a night.”


    Dreaming of sleeping with Cecilia? Not a chance!


    Jonathan felt as if his heart had shattered.


    He could have slept with Cecilia.


    Sharing a bed with Nathaniel, Jonathan sneakily nced at him and warned, “Mr. Rainsworth, her.”


    Nathaniel, unusually serious, asked, “Why do you think I would deceive her?”
