    Chapter 452 An Unwanted Visitor


    Though Elliot thought differently in his heart, he put on a facade. “You’re the one who’s dead, not my dad. You’re the bad guy,” he sniffled, trying to appear upset


    Nathaniel wasn’t fond of children, especially not this one. The sound of his fake crying was nothing but an annoyance to him. “Stop crying,” he ordered, his patience wearing thin.


    “No,” Elliot continued his pretense, though no tears fell.


    Nathaniel couldn’t tell if he was really crying or just pretending. But he knew that if Cecilia came out and found him upset, she would be furious with him. “Your father isn’t dead,” Nathaniel said, trying to cate him. you cursed


    “But you my dad!” Elliot’s sobs grew louder, pushing Nathaniel’s patience to its limit.


    Nathaniel felt a headacheing on. “Stop crying, I was just kidding,” he admitted, trying to soothe him.


    Elliot hadn’t expected his stern father to back down so easily. ncing at the clock on the wall, he realized it was almost time for his mother to be done with her check–up.


    It seems that Daddy id quite intimidated by Mommy at the moment. I could definitely use this to my advantage.


    “You’re an adult. How could you possibly joke about something like that? My daddy’s dead! I need to return to Erihal with Mommy to pay my respects to him…” Elliot’s words were calcted, his cries deliberate.


    After all, Nathaniel is my real father. If anything, my grief and tears are for him, so I wouldn’t be cursing Mr. Reese.


    Nathaniel hadn’t expected the child to take his words so seriously. If he had known, he would have never said it. Now, he was in trouble.


    He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a wave of regret. “I was only joking. What can I do to stop you from crying?” he asked, trying to find a way out of the situation.


    “You could apologize to me,” Elliot suggested, his tone firm. “The teacher says you should apologize when you do something wrong.”


    Elliot was curious to see if his stubborn father would actually apologize to him. In his lifetime, apart from apologizing to Cecilia, Nathaniel had never apologized to anyone else. The thought of apologizing to this brat, whom he saw as the child of another man from Cecilia’s past, was almost unbearable.


    But seeing that Nathaniel remained silent, Elliot’s cries grew even louder. Wah, my daddy’s gone. I’m now a child without a dad… Oh, my dear daddy…” he wailed, his voice echoing through the room.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    His cries attracted the attention of a nurse passing by. “Eli, what happened to your dad?” the nurse asked, peeking into the room.


    Nathaniel was caught off guard, not expecting anyone else to interfere. “He’s fine,” Nathaniel replied, trying to dismiss her concern.


    The nurse was taken aback by Nathaniel’s stern expression, his handsome face momentarily rendering her speechless. “That’s good to hear,” she muttered before leaving, still unsure of what to make of the situation.


    After the nurse left, Elliot’s cries continued. Faintly, the nurse could hear Nathaniel’s deep voice saying, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have joked about that. Your dad is fine.”


    Elliot, not easily satisfied, insisted, “Apologies should be sincere. Say it a few more times.”


    Reluctantly, Nathaniel repeated himself, trying to appease the child.


    On the other side of the hospital, Cecilia had justpleted all her examinations. The doctor had asked both Nathaniel and Elliot toe over, and as soon as Nathaniel heard this, he became tense, worried about Cecilia’s condition.


    Elliot immediately stopped his fussing, focusing intently on what the doctor was saying.


    “The child is in good health, and not only that,” the doctor said, “through the ultrasound, we’ve confirmed the presence of two gestational sacs.”


    The news hit Cecilia like a ton of bricks–she was expecting twins again. She was so stunned by the revtion that she didn’t notice Nathaniel, standing beside her, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.


    Elliot was the first to react. “So, does that mean I’m going to have two younger siblings? I finally get to be an older brother!” he eximed, his excitement bubbling over.


    “Indeed,” the doctor confirmed, his voice filled with warmth.


    Cecilia knew how much Elliot had longed to be an older brother, and seeing his joy brought. a smile to her face.


    After taking some prescribed medication to support her pregnancy, Cecilia, Nathaniel, and Elliot prepared to leave the hospital together.


    With the New Year approaching, Cecilia had been nning to bring Elliot back home so they could all live together. But as soon as the trio arrived home and stepped out of the car, Cecilia’s eyes fell on Pa, who was standing at the front door, waiting for them.
