Chapter 466: Where Is Your Mommy?

In response to his good attitude, Cecilia dropped the subject.

“What else did Nicholas say?” Nathaniel asked.

“Guess,” Cecilia teased.

Nathaniel pulled her into his arms, whispering, “No matter what he says, trust me. I’ll never hurt you again.”

Cecilia was puzzled. Why the “again”?

“Mommy, Mr. Rainsworth,” Elliot’s voice echoed, followed by a look of annoyance. He saw Nathaniel making advances on Cecilia.

Hearing Elliot, Cecilia hastily pushed Nathaniel away, her cheeks flushed. Nathaniel, interrupted again, fell into a bad mood.

Elliot walked to Cecilia. “Mommy, I want a hug too.”

Cecilia lifted him up. Elliot made a face at Nathaniel, unseen by the latter.

“Mr. Rainsworth, if you want a hug, go back to your mommy,” Elliot said, amusing Cecilia.

Nathaniel retorted, “Don’t you know you can hold your wife, besides your mother?”

Cecilia stealthily pinched his hand. Elliot fumed inwardly. How shameless! he thought.

“Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Cecilia couldn’t refuse. “Alright,” she agreed. Nathaniel felt frustrated.

“Are you still a three-year-old child? Why do you need to sleep with your Mommy?” Nathaniel asked. Jonathan, he thought, would be shy about sharing a bed with Cecilia. Elliot, however, clung to Cecilia’s arm. “Even if I turn a hundred, I’ll still be Mommy’s darling. I want to sleep with Mommy. Mr. Rainsworth, where’s your mom? Did she abandon you?”

Nathaniel was taken aback. Cecilia was amused.

“Mr. Rainsworth is an adult, so naturally, he doesn’t live with his mommy,” she explained.

Elliot’s eyes welled up. “Mommy, I don’t want to grow up. If I grow up, I’ll have to leave you,” he sobbed.

Cecilia’s heart melted. “Don’t worry, sweetie. Mommy will never leave you.” She understood his insecurity.

“Let’s go to sleep then. I’m tired.”

“Alright.”

“Mommy, you make the bed. I’ll be up shortly,” Elliot said.

“Alright.”

Upstairs, Cecilia made the bed. Once she left, Elliot’s true nature emerged. He looked at Nathaniel smugly. “Nathaniel, it’s too early for you to compete with me.”

Nathaniel pulled Elliot back, hoisting him up. Elliot panicked.

“Mr… Mr. Nathaniel, let’s talk calmly. No need for violence.”

Nathaniel realized Elliot, while seeming sensitive, was actually shameless.

“Repeat what you just said,” Nathaniel demanded coldly.

Elliot threatened, “If I cry and say you hit me, who do you think Mommy will choose, you or her son?”

It was obvious. Nathaniel put him down. Elliot saw Nathaniel’s genuine fear of upsetting Cecilia. Does this scumbag daddy truly love Mommy? he wondered.
