When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1092 Continue To Collaborate

Cecília immediately understood what Meredith meant “Thank you so much. I’ll privately make up for all your losses.”

“No need for that. Just keep collaborating with me when you’re in charge someday.”

Meredith found that Cecilia was truly reliable. In their collaboration, Meredith hadn’t lost out at all. In fact, she earned more than when working with other families.

“Sure.” Cecilia didn’t bother with excessive politeness.

At today’s parent meeting, Cecilia unexpectedly resolved a major issue.

She finally let out a sigh of relief, able to rest properly at last.

First, she would take care of Elliot at home, then she would go to the manor to check on Nathaniel.

At home, Elliot had already found out from Jonathan’s investigation that the manor was Nicholas‘ private property.

“Jon, I feel like what Mommy’s doing isn’t quite right, but if she really wants to be with Nicholas, I’ll support her.”

Elliot propped his head on his hand. “But Nicholas is already engaged to Cassandra. Can he give Mommy the status she deserves? And Cassandra’s pregnant with Nicholas‘ child. He definitely won’t treat us as his own kids. But if that makes her happy, I’m willing to tolerate this new stepfather.”

Jonathan realized that Elliot had no bottom line.

Just a moment ago, he was pitying their “sc*mbag daddy,” and now he was ready to accept Nicholas as their stepfather.

He really didn’t know whom his younger brother inherited this trait from.

“Don’t overthink it. Mommy definitely won’t be with him,” Jonathan reassured, thinking Elliot was worrying too much.

“Why are you so sure?” Elliot asked, confused.

To him, Nicholas and Nathaniel looked alike, had similar abilities, and Nicholas was gentler.

Women usually liked men who were gentle, right?

“Who do you think is more important to Mommy: Nicholas or us?”

“Obviously, we are.”

Exactly. Mommy won’t let us have a stepfather unless that person treats us extremely well,” Jonathan explained.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Elliot thought that made sense. “Yeah, Nicholas doesn’t seem like a good person. He probably wouldn’t treat us well.”

“Okay, stop thinking about it,” Jonathan said.

“Yeah, Mommy’s back. I have to go. Bye.”

Elliot hung up as soon as he saw Cecilia return,

“Mommy, have you been really busy lately?” Elliot asked pitifully when Cecilia walked in.

A pang of guilt struck Cecilia. She realized she had been neglecting the kids recently,

“I’m sorry. I have been a bit busy lately, but things should get better soon,” Cecilia said as she hugged him.

With that hug, all of Elliot’s unhappiness disappeared.

“Mommy, don’t tire yourself out too much,” he cautioned.

“Okay. I need to talk to you about something, though. I can’t spend the night at home.”

Cecilia was really worried about Nathaniel. She felt that the bodyguards might still harm him.

Elliot looked up at her with his big eyes. “Mommy, can you please tell me what you’re really doing at night? Please don’t lie to me, okay?”

Seeing him like that, Cecilia didn’t want to lie anymore. She gently ruffled his hair.

“I’m going to see your daddy. He’s sick right now and needs someone to take care of him.”

Cecilia thought that, since Nathaniel had been thinking about her and the kids even before his surgery, it was only right to let the children know.

Elliot couldn’t believe it. Isn’t the manor Nicholas‘ property? Why is sc*mbag daddy staying there?

“How’s Daddy doing now? Can I go see him?”
