Chapter 1596 Only You 

Having observed from the sidelines, Brooklyn, who had never raised Cassandra, had a clearer perspective on matters. She had seen enough of the family drama to remain rational in her judgments. 

“If that’s really the case, I won’t let her get away with it! Queenie’s voice trembled with anger, but it was cut short by a violent coughing fit. Her throat felt as though something sharp had pricked it, leaving her gasping for air. 

“Are you okay?” Brooklyn asked with concern. 

Queenie shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m used to it.” 

Queenie suppressed the discomfort in her chest and, with a faint breath, asked Brooklyn, “When do you plan to head back?” 

Brooklyn had initially intended to leave after meeting Cecilia, with plenty of tasks still awaiting her attention. However, seeing Queenie in her current condition, she decided to stay a few more days. “Lately, 

I don’t have much going on, so I can stay longer and spend some more time with you.” 

“All right, then. Next time, we’ll go visit Ceci and have a proper conversation with her,” Queenie responded, her voice steadier now. 

“Mm–hmm.” 

Cecilia sat in the car, gazing out the window as the scenery passed by, filled with sorrow. 

Elliot reached out, gently grasping her hand. “Mommy 

Cecilia blinked, shaken from her thoughts. She turned to look at him, her voice soft as she asked, “What’s wrong?” 

“Mommy, are you unhappy?” he asked. He could sense her emotions. 

Cecilia quickly shook her head, offering a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Not at all. Eli, why would you think that?” 

Elliot let out a small sigh, his expression serious. “Mommy, if something’s bothering you, you have to share it with us, okay? You can’t keep it all inside. Daddy and I, we both love you, and only you.” 

Only love you. Those words, so simple yet so sincere, filled Cecilia’s heart with warmth. She hadn’t expected Elliot, so young, to see through her facade. 

Cecilia forced a smile, trying to reassure her son. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lied. I was a bit upset, but I’m feeling better now.” 

Elliot nodded, his little face filled with concern. “Good, I’m glad to hear that. Just don’t let witch granny’s favoritism get to you. 

“Right, I understand,” Cecilia replied, offering him another smile. 

Elliot hugged her arm, his voice thoughtful. “But I could tell that witch granny was really sorry and truly wanted to apologize.

Elliot grinned mischievously. “Because I have a superpower. I can tell who’s being real and who’s just pretending. 

“Wow, you’re really impressive,” Cecilia praised, though she didn’t take the child’s words too seriously, Nonetheless, it made her feel better inside. Had Nathaniel not intervened earlier, Cecilia wasn’t sure how she would have expressed her feelings. 

She truly didn’t care about Queenie dividing part of her property to Cassandra. What troubled her more were the words Queenie had said–words that left a lingering discomfort she couldn’t shake off. 

Nathaniel, glancing at the mother and son through the rear–view mirror, asked, “Should we head back to the Rainsworth Manor for lunch today?” 

Elliot nodded excitedly. “Sure! Let’s go see my baby brothers!” 

Cecilia thought of the two little cuties, and with a smile she agreed, “All right.”
