When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 515

Chapter 515 An Eyesore
Those at the dining table were taken aback once again. This was the first time anyone had dared to label Felix as selfish.

The protective Miranda felt a little disgruntled, but Elliot was a child even younger than her own son, making it difficult for her to defend Felix.

Although Felix was arrogant and domineering, he was not foolish. He immediately knew he was being insulted by Elliot.

“You unwanted child, how dare you insult me!”

Elliot felt the fire wasn't stoked enough, so he continued, his lips pursed. “Don't get mad. I'm just being honest. Didn't your teachers teach you manners when you were in school?”

Cecilia was rendered speechless.

Before she left the house earlier, she had warned Elliot not to talk too much.

Two kids were arguing, and as an adult, it wasn't right for her to intervene. All she could do was shoot Elliot a look, silently telling him it was enough.

Elliot deliberately avoided her gaze, turning instead to challenge Felix with a raised eyebrow. The look on his face seemed to be daring Felix to come get him.

When Felix saw the face that looked identical to Jonathan's, he still couldn't bring himself to hit the latter.

He picked up the fork on the table and threw it at Elliot, but his aim was off, and it ended up hitting Niel instead.

Niel was thoroughly infuriated.

“Adrian, Miranda, is this the fine son you've raised? Is this what you taught him after I asked you to educate him this morning? I don't see any need for him to be at the table anymore. All of you should also get out of my sight.”

Adrian and Miranda were openly chased away, their complexions instantly turning sour.

Miranda immediately stood up. Grabbing her son, she spoke in a voice laced with sarcasm. “Let's go. We wouldn't want to be eyesores here.”

However, Felix refused to move.

“Great-grandpa, he was clearly the one who insulted me first.”

Miranda slapped him. “Now that Elliot is back, it's not your place to speak.”

At this point, Nicholas spoke up. “Adrian, Miranda, Felix really needs to change his ways. If outsiders find out, they would say that we, the Rainsworth family, have no manners.”

The remark struck Miranda like a knife in her heart.

Miranda managed to keep an impassive expression, but inside, she wished nothing more than for the Rainsworth brothers to drop dead.

Cassandra hadn't expected that Nicholas would offend others for the sake of Cecilia's son. She also spoke up. “Adrain, Miranda, it's normal for a young child to be a little headstrong, but once he grows up, he's bound to accomplish great things. What's the use of a boy who doesn't make a fuss?”

This statement initially served to help defuse the situation for Miranda and her family. Subsequently, it implied that Elliot, despite being sensible, would grow up to be useless.

Meanwhile, Elena was clearly aware of her future daughter-in-law's insinuation.

She could stand by when Cecilia was disparaged, but she wouldn't tolerate anyone berating her own grandson.

“Cassandra, you're mistaken. Nathaniel and Nicholas have always been sensible since they were young, and didn't they turned out to be exceptional individuals? It's important to cultivate these qualities in a child from a young age.”
