When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613 I Am Rich
Unwilling to go to sleep, Elliot asked, “Mommy, can you and Daddy tell me and Jon a bedtime story?”

“What kind of bedtime story would you like to hear? I'll tell you one in a bit,” Cecilia said gently, implying she could tell the story on her own, without Nathaniel's involvement.

Nathaniel, with his striking eyes and eyebrows, glanced over. “I've arranged for someone to bring over some AI robots. They'll tell you your bedtime story.”

Elliot was rendered speechless. Sc*mbag daddy just can't be prompted.

Nathaniel was a man of his word. Not long after, he had the most lifelike AI robot delivered. It wasn't just a storytelling device for children. It could also assist them with their homework and even handle some basic household chores.

Originally, Elliot had wanted to be Nathaniel's wingman, but the robot was just too entertaining. Quickly, he and Jonathan retreated to their bedroom to research the robot.

Observing how quickly the two children had been pacified, Cecilia suddenly felt that if Nathaniel had been willing to accept them in the past, they probably wouldn't have had to endure so many hardships with her abroad.

As she was ascending the stairs, Nathaniel called out to her.

“What happened at the parents' association today?”

Cecilia was taken aback, but before she could respond, Nathaniel quickly added, “I'm the children's father. You kept their birth a secret before, are you planning on keeping more secrets now? I have the right to know.”

Cecilia's hesitation stemmed from his sudden question about the parents' association, not that she was intentionally keeping it from him.

“Miranda is the president of the parents' association. One of the children's parent told me that she was acquainted with the school board and had the power to put Jon in a difficult spot and ostracize him.”

When Nathaniel noticed the slight stammer in Cecilia's speech while she was talking to the children and knew there were other matters left unsaid.

He didn't expect it to be something like that.

“Miranda's position as the president is likely related to the Rainsworth family's investment in the preschool over the years. If my memory serves me right, Old Mr. Rainsworth is the preschool's largest shareholder.”

Cecilia initially thought that Adrian was the one funding it. However, to her surprise, it turned out to be Niel. It was clear that he genuinely loved his great-grandson, Felix.

That implied that Miranda held all the power, yet bore no responsibility.

That was also why she agreed to take up the president role. Miranda has really taken all the advantages.

“Do as you see fit.”

Nathaniel didn't care about that amount of money.

Cecilia wasn't confident that she was wealthier than Miranda at first, but with the unlimited black card in her hand, she had absolutely no worries.

Once she was done with the lyrics, she sent it to Eric. Then, she lay on her bed and scrolled through the other mothers' Instagram accounts. Spotting one of their post about coveting a limited-edition handbag worth hundreds of thousands, she didn't hesitate to place an order.

Next, she spotted a haute couture dress one of the mothers had her eye on, so she reached out to the atelier.

In under one evening, she managed to fulfill a small portion of the demands of the mothers.
