<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hearing that, Cecilia was somewhat at a loss. “Eli, everyone has their unique way of expressing themselves.”</font></font>Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel was sitting off to the side, unable to help but chime in, “So, are you rejecting the way I express myself? You don’t even want to hold hands?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia choked up and said, “I didn’t say that.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“In that case, why don’t you give Daddy a hug, maybe a kiss?” Anticipation was written all over Elliot’s wide eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia’s face instantly turned a deep shade of red.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Eli…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It seems that Jon and I will never have aplete family. The belle from my ss once told me that her parents initially were also reluctant to show affection toward each other. Eventually, they divorced, found new partners, and had children with their new partners.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After Elliot finished speaking, he lowered his head, and tears began to roll down his cheeks.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Did you two get divorced, and now you’re just deceiving me? Once you have other kids, you won’t care about me and Jon anymore.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His tears were particrly moving.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon seeing the situation, all other concerns fled from Cecilia’s mind. She grabbed a tissue, wiping away the tears, doing her best to soothe Elliot.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Sweetie, don’t let your thoughts run wild. How could we ever not want you and Jon?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that, Cecilia turned her gaze toward Nathaniel and asked, “Right?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel didn’t respond to the question. Instead, he said, “If we continue like this, it will indeed affect our rtionship.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Right then, Elliot’s sobbing grew even louder.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel gently patted him. “Don’t worry, Eli. I will never marry another woman. Even if your mommy doesn’t want you, I will always want you,”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What are you babbling about?” Cecilia shot him a look.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel remained utterly unmoved, continuing to say, “Did I say something wrong? Eli and Jon already know that in your heart, Calvin and Eric matter more than I do.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His words were dripping with sarcasm..</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia had no idea that after he regained his sight, the first thing he searched for was a picture of Eric.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After all, Eric was his love rival. Nathaniel was curious to know what Eric, the male celebrity, looked like.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mommy, who would you choose to be with, Mr. Eric or Mr. Reese?” Elliot asked with teary eyes. “Would you still love me and Jon if you were with them? Are you going to have kids with them?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was left feeling overwhelmed by the relentless questioning from Nathaniel and Elliot.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She patiently replied, “Silly, I won’t leave you and Jon behind. I also won’t be with them.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“In that case, you should hug and kiss Daddy. Otherwise, I won’t believe you,” Elliot insisted stubbornly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hearing that, Cecilia really didn’t know what to do.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel was gazing intently at her as he said to Elliot, “Eli, don’t make things difficult for your mommy.</font></font>
Cecilia felt that this man was deliberately stirring the pot.
After all, it wasn’t like they hadn’t hugged or kissed before.
There and then, Cecilia suddenly embraced Nathaniel.
Nathaniel’s heart softened before he could even react, and then, Cecilia lifted her head, nting a kiss on his cheek.
Right after that, she pulled back.
Nathaniel’s profile had a somewhat stiff expression, his deep–set eyes gazing at Cecilia, his Adam’s apple subtly moving.
“Eli, you see, the love between your daddy and me is still very strong.
Only then did Elliot give in and say, “Yes, Mommy. You guys keep it going.”
After such a long and tiresome journey in the car, they finally arrived home.
Elliot was the first to get out of the car, walking forward
Nathaniel also followed suit, but Cecilia said, “You ought to return to your private mansion.”
“Are you getting rid of me as soon as I’ve ceased to be useful?”
