<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the end, Nathaniel decided to head to the bathroom for a cold shower.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He wasn’t sure what had been going on recently. There were moments when his body seemed to act on its own,pelled to protect Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Nathaniel.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Suddenly, the sound of Cecilia calling his name echoed in his ears.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel turned off the shower, but once again, the voice faded away.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“D*mn it, am I hearing things?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel quickly finished his shower and theny down.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Recently, his headaches had lessened, but for some reason, he couldn’t recall the memories of the years that Mason and the others spoke of.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Unable to sleep, he reached for his phone, hesitating over whether to call Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">past few</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, however, a call came through. The mechanical voice on his phone told him it was Elliot.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Immediately, Nathaniel answered the call.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Sc*mbag daddy,” Elliot called out in an excited and joyful tone.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mm.” By now, Nathaniel had gotten used to the various nicknames that Elliot used for him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mommy,e over here and say hello to Daddy.”</font></font>Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot approached Cecilia, taking her by the hand as he urged her to speak.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Reluctantly, Cecilia coughed twice before saying, “Good evening, Nathaniel.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It was then Elliot realized that the erm of address was off.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mommy,” the child began, “all my ssmates‘ mommies refer to their husbands as ‘Hubby. You should call Daddy ‘Hubby‘, not use his name.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He then exined, “Using his name in that tone is quite impolite, and besides, I heard on TV that you only use the full name when you’re arguing.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia found herself somewhat spec</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The things this child was learning were simply too diverse.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Eli, your father and I have been married for ages now.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">What Cecilia initially wanted to say was that she and Nathaniel had been married for quite some time. They were an old married couple, so there was no need for such affectionate terms as “Hubby.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But before she could finish, Elliot interrupted, “I understand.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Hmm?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You should be calling him ‘jerk, right?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lost for words, Cecilia’s face flushed. “Stop talking nonsense.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot pouted. “Isn’t that the case? That’s what they always say on TV.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His round,rge eyes were gazing at Cecilia innocently,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mommy, did you have a fight with Daddy?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Of course not,” denied Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Then you should call Daddy ‘Hubby‘. Otherwise, it means you’re having a fight.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot clung onto Cecilia’s arm, swaying it.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At this moment, Cecilia was particrly speechless. How could she have the audacity to call Nathaniel “Hubby?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ever since she married Nathaniel, she had also en to calling him Nathaniel.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She truly couldn’t bring herself to address him as “Hubby.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">While Cecilia was unsure of what to do, Nathaniel’s voice came through the phone. “Eli, don’t pressure your mommy. If she doesn’t want to, just let it be.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mommy…”</font></font>
Elliot was still whining cutely.
Thus, Cecilia had no other choice but to muster up the courage and call out, “Hubby.”
On the other end of the line, Nathaniel’s breathing hitched when he heard that word. An indescribable feeling welled up inside him, but it was not one of distaste.
“All right, it’s time for bed. Say goodnight to your daddy.”
Seeing as Nathaniel didn’t respond in time, Cecilia wished she could find a hole to crawl into at that moment.
With a silent chuckle, Elliot agreed.
“Goodnight, Daddy,” he said. Then he added, “Mommy, you have to say, ‘Goodnight, Hubby.“”
Cecilia wanted to quickly appease him, so she swiftly sa
