Chapter 386 Elliot Returns

Cecilia choked upon hearing the comment.

With the multitude of relatives Nathaniel has-parents, siblings, cousins-how could he possibly be an orphan?

However, to deceive the child, she could only play along. “Yes, indeed. That's why he is so pitiful, and | have no

choice but to adopt him for the tbeing. Also, he’s a bit of an oddball. He might say a bunch of strange things.

You mustn’t believe him, okay, Eli?” Cecilia continued to mentally prepare her son.

Elliot was an exceptional actor, his large eyes seemingly filled with trust for his mother. He nodded repeatedly,

“Yeah, don’t worry, Mommy. | won't believe him.”

When Cecilia met his innocent gaze, she felt a pang of guilt, knowing that she shouldn't be deceiving him.

However, she was left with no choice.

In her mind, Elliot had taken over her, always behaving like an ordinary child.

Jonathan, on the other hand, had taken over Nathaniel. When it ccomparing memory or intelligence, he

would put adults to shame.

Jon knows that Nathaniel is his father, but Eli is still unaware.

Cecilia had decided to wait until Elliot was a bit older before revealing the truth to him.

With that, they journeyed back home.

Elliot was indeed the life of the party. As soon as he returned home, he would cheerfully call out to his brother,

grandmother, and Nathaniel incessantly.

When he saw Nathaniel, he greeted him politely, “Mr. Rainsworth, it’s been a while. I've missed you.”

Had it not been for Nathaniel regaining sof his memory, he would have truly been deceived. by Elliot's

innocent appearance.

“How much do you miss me?” Nathaniel asked.

Elliot choked up, then stammered, “I miss you as much as | feel the need to use the bathroom every day!”

In an instant, Nathaniel was reminded of the past, scene where he was drenched from head to toe by Elliot.

As Cecilia was about to start her meal, she found Elliot's words to be quite peculiar.

Jonathan, who had been typing away, stopped. He realized that besides Martha, there was another

person who could challenge his sc*mbag daddy.

I'm surprised that Elliot is quite skilled; this analogy is truly excellent.

“Alright, it’s tto eat. Go wash your hands.”.

“Sure thing.” Elliot was the first to respond. Then he turned to look at Nathaniel, “Mr. Rainsworth, would you like

“Don’t be a stranger. | know you're an orphan, abandoned by your parents. You've had no one to

you.

An orphan abandoned by my parents?

Nathaniel’s expression subtly shifted, while Cecilia's violent coughing served as a hint for him to play along.

With a sullen expression, he had no choice but to let Elliot show him how to wash his hands.

Elliot was puzzled as he observed his father’s slender hands, surprised to find the scars on them.

Didn't sc¥mbag daddy live a life of privilege? How did he end up with these scars?

“Mr. Rainsworth, you must have gone through a lot, judging by all these wounds on your hands.”

Wounds?

Upon hearing these words, Cecilia couldn't help but look over. It was then that she noticed that Nathaniel’s

hands were indeed marked with a series of scars.

She clearly remembered that his hands used to be flawless.

“I accidentally cut myself on sglass,” Nathaniel replied in a subdued tone.

He didn’t disclose to Elliot the reason behind the wounds. It was a consequence of a previous incident when

Cecilia was attacked by Stella’s ex-boyfriend and trapped inside a car. He had to repeatedly smash the car glass

to free her, which resulted in the injuries.

“Poor thing.”

Elliot wore an expression of sympathy.

He patted his small chest. “Don’t worry, both Mommy and | are kind-hearted people. When you get old and can’t

take care of yourself, we'll help send you to a nursing home. You must work hard now to earn enough money to «

pay for it.”
