<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot deeply missed his brother at that moment.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Although he could discern the good from the bad in people, he wasn’t adept at studying.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He resorted to using his fingers when the multiplication sums were toorge.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jonathan would’ve already gotten the answer through mental calction if he was here.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The housekeeper stood to the side, her heart aching for her adorable Elliot, sympathizing with him for being on the verge of being overwhelmed by his studies at such a tender age.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The way parents are putting stress on their kids nowadays is just terrifying!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia watched as Elliot scratched his head, wanting to go over and lend him a hand.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She had barely taken two steps when Nathaniel cleared his throat. “Ceci, have youpleted your task?”</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">All Cecilia could do was retreat, take her seat, and dutifully solve her own set of problems.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She truly hadn’t expected Nathaniel to be so stern. It felt no different from when she was in school.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I haven’t solved them yet. I’m still thinking,” stammered Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel gave a nomittal hum, then resumed his work.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Since it was a warm and sunny day, everyone was working and studying in the garden. When Zachary and/ his group drove up, they could immediately see the entire family busily working in the garden.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian opened the car door and stepped out, waving toward the inside.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ceci! Eli!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The moment her voice rang out, Cecilia and Elliot turned their attention toward the doorway.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A sparkle was evident in Elliot’s eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Atst, someone hase to rescue Mommy and me.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary and Jonathan alighted from the car in aposed manner. The security guard promptly opened the door for them, and the trio proceeded to enter.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Daddy, Mr. Zachary and Ms. Kennedy have brought Jon over,” Elliot said, casting a hopeful nce at Nathaniel. He was hoping for a bit of mercy from Nathaniel, wishing not to be burdened with homework anymore.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was still just a child after all.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel had not anticipated Zachary’s and Vivian’s arrival. Annoyance flickered across his eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Keep working on your homework,” he said.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The light in Elliot’s eyes vanished. He doesn’t love me anymore. Since I chose my own daddy, I’ll have to bear with When Zachary and Vivian came over, they saw Elliot, despite his young age, sprawled on the table working on problems meant for sixth graders.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Meanwhile, Cecilia was also flipping through some documents.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Did wee at a bad time?” Zachary asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian stepped forward. “Ceci, have you been reading these every day? The words fill the entire page, and there are so many of them, how do you manage to take it all in?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was on the verge of tears. Who would want to read such things? She was forced to do it.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I was just looking at them for fun.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Her gaze quickly fell on Jonathan. “Jon,e here, let me hold you.”</font></font>
She was so tired at the moment, yearning to draw strength from an embrace.
Jonathan walked toward her, feeling embarrassed, only to be enveloped in her embrace shortly after.
Feeling a pang of guilt, Vivian watched the heartwarming scene of the mother and son.
“You must be missing Jon quite a bit, don’t you?”
I’m sure she does since Jon is Cecilia’s son, but Old Mr. Sinir was so fond of Jon that he suggested that Jon temporarily stay with the Sinir family. After all, Cecilia is pregnant and can’t take care of two boys.
Cecilia didn’t want to disappoint George, especially since he had recently discovered new health issues.
People of the same age as George, once their health started to decline, no one knew when they might pass away.
“Sure, no problem. We live close by,” replied Cecilia.
Vivian gave a nod, then added, “It’s finally the weekend, let’s take a break. There’s plenty of time to workter.”
Cecilia nced at Nathaniel.
At that point, Nathaniel had no other choice but to agree to let the mother and son go out and have fun.
Immediately, Cecilia and Vivian went off to have fun elsewhere, while Elliot also went to y with Jonathan, leaving Zachary and Nathaniel alone.
At first, Zachary was somewhat puzzled about why Nathaniel had them studying every weekend. However, after everyone left, he gave it some thought and gradually understood.
“Nathaniel, maybe you should reconsider the surgery.”
