When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699 Refuse To Return The Money
Cecilia's body stiffened.

Nathaniel couldn't see it, but since he didn't manage to kiss her lips, he leaned over again to do so.

Elliot's eyes instantly widened. How infuriating! You've gone too far, sc*mbag daddy! I only allowed a peck, not for you to make it a kiss!

“Mommy.”

Snapping back to reality, Cecilia sidestepped Nathaniel and nudged him. “All right, let's eat. Quit fooling around.”

Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly. “All right.”

The family sat together for a meal.

After dinner, they relaxed in the living room. By nine o'clock, they washed up and went to bed.

Elliot held Cecilia's hand and asked, “Mommy, can you and Daddy stay with me tonight?”

Just as Cecilia was about to respond, Nathaniel said, “Eli, you're not a toddler anymore. You need to learn to sleep on your own.”

Elliot was somewhat bewildered. What on earth are you up to, sc*mbag daddy? Can't you see I'm helping you?

Unfortunately, his father was oblivious, and Elliot didn't know how to signal him with his eyes.

“All right, then.” Since Nathaniel was unappreciative, Elliot decided not to bother helping him anymore.

In reality, that wasn't the case. Nathaniel just wanted to share the bed with Cecilia.

After Elliot had retired to his room for the night, Nathaniel followed behind Cecilia.

Puzzled, the latter asked, “Why are you following me?”

A tightness gripped Nathaniel's throat. “To sleep with you, of course,” he replied, his voice rich with a magnetic resonance.

“You take the master bedroom. I'll sleep in the guest room,” Cecilia said, her cheeks rosy.

She was pregnant now and didn't want to share the bed with him for no reason.

Ralph's face was etched with worry. The lawsuit was both time-consuming and expensive. He didn't dare to tell his daughter that he was running out of money for legal fees in dealing with Imminence Corporation.

Cassandra seemed to have noticed something as she asked, “Dad, what's been happening with the company lately?”

Ralph let out a sigh. “I don't know why I've been running into bad luck everywhere lately. In essence, we've been operating at a deficit.”

Cassandra instantly understood.

She stood up and said, “Dad, don't worry. A weakened Evans family is still better off than ordinary people. We need not fear Cecilia. If worst comes to worst, I'll go find Mom.”

The “Mom” she was referring to was Queenie.

Cassandra knew that in this world, there were very few things that Queenie couldn't fix.

Ralph nodded, but inwardly, he contemplated selling all his shares while Evans Group was still afloat.

By doing that, even if Cecilia came for the money, she would only receive an empty shell.
