When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 594 Back Home

Without feeling embarrassed, Cecilia quickly lowered the volume on her phone. However, in her haste, the phone slipped from her grasp and fell under the seat.

One after another, voice messages from Vivian kept coming in, all playing out loud.

“If you decide to be with him, make sure to let me know. I’d also love to meet him.”

“Rumor has it that he’s never been in love before. This kind of innocent young man is so much better than Nathaniel, by a hundredfold at least…”

Cecilia bent down to pick up her phone, which was stuck under the seat. She struggled to retrieve it for quite some time.

By then, her face had turned beet red.

The driver up front had no idea what was happening behind him. He took a quick glance, misinterpreted the situation, and immediately shifted his gaze away. He then promptly lowered the visor.

Finally, Cecilia got hold of her phone and turned off the voice messages.

Nathaniel’s face was ashen. “Didn’t you say you were discussing a regular partnership? Do you prefer younger men?”

“I’ve said it before. This is all a misunderstanding.”

Immediately, Cecilia sent a text message to Vivian that read: Eric and I are merely collaborators. We were discussing a piece of music yesterday, nothing more.

Only then did Vivian let go of her curiosity.

At that moment, the atmosphere inside the car was quite tense.

Cecilia glanced out the window, taking in the swiftly passing scenery. She realized they weren’t heading toward Rainsworth Manor. Instead, they were en route to Daltonia Villa.

“Aren’t we going to Rainsworth Manor?”

Nathaniel’s thin lips parted slightly. “We’re going back to Daltonia Villa.”

“In the future, I’ll arrange for a doctor to treat Eli, and I’ll also request a teacher to guide him.”

Cecilia didn’t object, simply responding, “All right.”

Over the years, because of her own work commitments and Elliot’s health conditions, she had not allowed Elliot to attend school.

At this thought, Cecilia felt a bit ashamed.

At last, they arrived at Daltonta Villa

Elliot got out of another car and ran toward Cecilia, calling out. Mommy

Cecilia held him, gently stroking his head. “How are you feeling? Do you still feel uncomfortable: anywhere?”

Elliot shook his head. “I’m all right now.

“That’s good, then.”

Nathaniel stood a short distance away, listening to the exchange between mother and son, feeling somewhat unsettled.

A phone call shattered the moment’s bliss. Nathaniel took the call and saw it was a call from Niel.

“Bring Cecilia and Eli here.” commanded Niel

Nathaniel furrowed his brows slightly. “What’s the matter?”

-Felix’s grandparents have arrived. They’re seeking an explanation Felix told me it was Eli who deliberately led him to the back mountain. In any case, you should bring them over here quickly. said Niel.

Upon noticing that something was off about Nathaniel’s complexion. Elliot couldn’t help but ask. “Mr. Rainsworth, what’s wrong?”

Mr. Rainsworth again? Nathaniel repeated Niel’s words and asked. “Did you really do it?”

Elliot had always known that Felix would tattle, but he wasn’t afraid

“Mommy, let’s go together. I’ll reveal the truth to Gramps.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Cecilia didn’t want her son to be wrongfully accused by others. “All right.”

Elliot felt that there was nothing wrong with luring Felix into the artificial hill. He was merely trying to save his own life.

If he hadn’t tricked Felix into the artificial hill, he would have been the one who got hurt.

If there was anyone to blame, it was Felix himself, always trying to take advantage of others.

Miranda’s parents had also arrived at Rainsworth Manor. Having learned that their grandchild had almost frozen the night before last, they were filled with righteous indignity and sought an explanation.

“Old Mr. Rainsworth, when we entrusted our daughter to the Rainsworth family, we did so believing in your fairness and justice. Now, our grandson, your great–grandson, is facing this situation. You cannot just ignore it,” said Derek Leighton, Miranda’s father.

Velma Mahoney, Miranda’s mother, chimed in, “Miranda is naturally kind–hearted. She always advantage of her. It’s truly disheartening.”

Niel felt a pang of sympathy for Felix and was ready to speak up for them.

At last, Nathaniel arrived with Cecilia and Elliot in tow.
