Chapter 512 Apologize Later
Zachary’s hand froze mid–air. He didn’t withdraw it after a while. “L..“””
Before he could finish speaking. Cecilia turned around and returned to her room.
Zachary wanted to apologize for his past actions, but he was held back by Nathaniel from behind. “Nathaniel, why are you pulling me?”
Nathaniel slightly parted his thin lips. “Apologizeter.”
It was St. Patrick’s Day, and he didn’t want to be dragged into Zachary’s problem.
Upon hearing that, Zachary also felt that he shouldn’t be hasty. “All right then.”
He initially wanted to meet Cecilia’s son, but he thought it seemed more appropriate to leave. -Then, I’ll head back now. I’lle to see you guys next time.”
“All right.”
Zachary entered the car and left.
When Cecilia returned to her room, she lounged on the couch, continuing with her book.
After a while, when Nathaniel returned, she asked. “When you mentioned that you had something to deal with, were you referring to Zachary?”
Nathaniel was worried about being implicated by Zachary, so when Cecilia asked about it, he immediately distanced himself. “I didn’t know about what Zachary said.”
Closing her book, Cecilia looked at him intently. “That’s good because Zachary and I could never be friends, at least not right now.”
She didn’t interfere with who Nathaniel chose to befriend, but she had her own way of making friends.
Nathaniel quietly sat next to her, naturally pulling her into his embrace. “Whatever you say goes.”
Cecilia was taken aback for a moment before attempting to pull his hand away. “I’m going to read a book now.”
“What book are you reading?” Nathaniel asked without letting her go.
“It’s just an ordinaryw book taken from your study,” Cecilia replied.
Nathaniel’s study was a miniature library, housing all sorts of books.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
Pa was still in detention at the time, and no verdict had yet been passed. Additionally. Cecilia had ns to reim the Smith family’s property, so she wanted to know more about thew.
“Is it because of Pa? Do you want me to find a team of professionalwyers?” asked Nathaniel
Cecilia declined. “No need. I can handle it myself.”
Nathaniel noticed that, nowadays, no matter what Cecilia was doing, she wouldn’t ask for his help.
He was about to say something else when a housekeeper knocked on the door.
Cecilia promptly pushed Nathaniel away.
Nathaniel looked toward the door with a hint of annoyance. “What’s the matter?”
The housekeeper spoke, bowing. “Old Mr. Rainsworth asked you, Mrs. Rainsworth, and Mr. Elliot to join him for dinner.”
“Understood.”
The housekeeper immediately left, still thinking about the fact that she unexpectedly saw Nathaniel and Cecilia hugging each other.
After the housekeeper left, Nathaniel wanted to hold Cecilia but was instead thrown arge hug pillow.
‘Don’t just hold me whenever you feel like it. I don’t like it.” At that point, Cecilia was starting to show a bit of a baby bump.
As such, she felt a bit cramped being held by him.
After she finished speaking, she went to call Elliot for dinnerter.
Elliot was in the nursery, engrossed in ying with building blocks. Upon hearing of Cecilia’s arrival, he immediately rose to his feet. “Mommy, what’s up?”
“Your great–grandpa invited us to dine together. Once we’re at the table, be mindful of what your say, understand?” requesters Cecilia.
Elliot nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I promise to keep my lips sealed.”
With a gentle smile, Cecilia lightly patted his head.
On the surface, Elliot appeared well–behaved, yet he was thinking about how to mess with the Rainsworth family at the dining table.
At night, when Nathaniel and Cecilia took Elliot to the dining room, the long dining table was already upied. Adrian’s family, as well as Nichs, Cassandra, and Elena, were already seated.
Adrian’splexion was terrible, and his son, Felix, was still ring at Elliot. That brat looks exactly like Jon, yet he’s a billion times more annoying than him!
