When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1445 Only Half Done Finished

Upon hearing these words, Elena couldn't help but feel angry. "What are you even saying? I've already been caring for two children, and now you want me to look after Eli as well? You're their father, you know." Nathaniel, who was typing, paused. "Then let him stay

After all, he didn't need to take care of Elliot with the housekeepers at home.

"That's settled, then. I'm leaving Eli in your care. I'm heading back now."

Elliot sat downstairs. Truthfully, he didn't want to come back at all.

Being with Nathaniel was truly unbearable. His mother was still missing, and he was required to do all kinds of homework whenever he was alone with Nathaniel.novelbin

"Grandma, are you leaving?" A pleading look filled Elliot's eyes when he saw Elena descend the stairs.

In his heart, he was silently pleading. Take me with you.

Unfortunately, Elena didn't understand his intentions. "Yes. I'm going back now. You should stay home and keep your dad company. He's been acting as if he's lost his soul." With that, Elena let out another sigh.

Seeing how troubled Elena was, Elliot had no choice but to stay. With a heavy heart, he walked Elena to the

front door.

Once he returned, he was just contemplating heading to his room to play some games when he heard Nathaniel's icy voice echoing from downstairs. "Elliot."

Elliot couldn't help but feel a chill in the air. He forced a smile and looked up.

He saw Nathaniel standing on the second-floor corridor, looking at him. "Come up."

Elliot reluctantly headed upstairs. "Sc*mbag daddy, what's the matter?"

"Let me check your homework." Nathaniel sternly extended his hand toward him. "Where are the two papers I gave you before we went to Rainsworth Manor?"

At that moment, Elliot truly wished he could find a hole to crawl into as he was terrified of being hit.

"Um, I forgot to bring it back," he explained, somewhat stuttering.

Surprisingly, Nathaniel didn't get angry. "In this case, follow me to the study."

"Oh, okay." Elliot cautiously followed Nathaniel into the study.

Nathaniel immediately printed out two more sets of test papers for him. "Do it now. Since you've done it before at Rainsworth Manor, it should only take you half an hour to redo it." "Half an hour?" Elliot's eyes widened in surprise.

Nathaniel's icy gaze fell upon him. "Half an hour is too long, is it? Let's make it twenty minutes, then. I also

Nathaniel furrowed his brows. "Hold it right there. You're not allowed to cry." How could my son be so prone to tears? How can he protect Cecilia in the future?

Elliot was startled by Nathaniel's gaze, but he managed to hold back his tears. He took the test paper and sat down, starting to work on the questions.

He really missed Cecilia at that moment, aching for her presence. If only she was there, he wouldn't have to endure such hardship.

In no time, twenty minutes flew by.

Elliot hadn't finished even half of the questions when she approached Nathaniel. "Daddy, y-you're not going to hit me, are you?"

"You've only done half of the questions?" Nathaniel was in disbelief.

After such a long time, he had only managed to complete half of the questions.

"Yes." Elliot gave a frightened nod.

Nathaniel didn't show any signs of annoyance. He took the half page, scanned it briefly, and quickly spotted a few mistakes. "This part here is incorrect. Go check the answers and once you're done, write each question out a hundred times." Elliot pitifully took the test paper and began to transcribe it.

As the night progressed, it was already ten o'clock. Exhausted, Elliot fell asleep while writing.

Nathaniel saw him asleep, sprawled out on the writing desk. Rising from his seat, he walked over and picked Elliot up.

Seemingly frightened, Elliot murmured in his sleep, "Daddy, please don't hit me. Mommy, I miss you so much." 6.5K
