Chapter 419 Bite Me
Listening to Elliot's voice, Cecilia noticed that it lacked the usual playful tone and was instead filled with caution.
She quickly reassured him, “I was really busy today and completely forgot to call you. I'm so sorry, Sweetie. Can
| csee you tomorrow?”
Upon hearing her words, Elliot couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. “It’s all right, Mommy. You should focus on
your work. I'm doing just fine in the hospital, so you don’t need to go through the trouble of coming here.”
In the past, Elliot would have insisted on Cecilia coming over to keep him company right away. Now, he was as
considerate as Jonathan, and that realization brought a sharp pang to Cecilia's heart. She quietly resolved to visit
Elliot the next day, determined to make it up to him.
After chatting for a while, Cecilia reluctantly ended the call. She lay down on the couch, trying to relax, but her
thoughts were still on her children.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared before her, blocking the light and casting a shadow over her. Cecilia furrowed
her brows slightly as she opened her eyes, only to find Nathaniel standing nearby. She wasn’t sure how long he
had been there.
“Is something wrong?” Cecilia asked, puzzled by his sudden presence.

“Before dinner, did you really just go for a walk?” Nathaniel asked, his tone serious.
Cecilia hesitated but eventually responded, “Yes. What's wrong with that?”
“It's nothing,” Nathaniel replied, though his expression suggested otherwise.
He remained silent for a moment longer before turning and leaving the room. As soon as he was out of sight, he
immediately made a call, instructing his bodyguard to review the surveillance footage around the house.
As he suspected, all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity had mysteriously malfunctioned that. day.
“Check the footage from farther away,” Nathaniel ordered,
“Understood,” cthe response.
Before long, Nathaniel received a report with all the vehicle information his bodyguards had managed to gather.
Most of the cars belonged to locals, and their owners’ information was quickly revealed. One car, however, stood
out-it belonged to Rainsworth Group.
Nathaniel specifically instructed his subordinates to investigate this car further. When the surveillance footage
was finally retrieved, Nathaniel had Mason play it back. To his dismay, the video showed Nicholas sitting inside
the car.
Mason, unaware of the details, watched in confusion. He only knew that the footage involved. Nicholas, but
nothing more.
After viewing the footage, Nathaniel didn’t say a word. He simply hung up the phone, his mind. racing with
thoughts.
Meanwhile, Cecilia had already taken a bath and was preparing to go to bed. When she opened the door to her
bedroom, she was surprised to find Nathaniel sitting inside, waiting for her.
“What were you doing in my room?”
“Getting ready to sleep, of course,” Nathaniel replied nonchalantly as he began to undress.
Cecilia's face flushed red with embarrassment. “Leave,” she demanded, “and put your clothes back on!”
But Nathaniel ignored her protests. After undressing, he calmly lay down on the bed. “I’m not used to sleeping in
clothes. Hope you don’t mind,” he said, his tone completely unbothered.
Cecilia hadn't expected him to be so brazen. Frustrated, she tried to pull the blanket away from him. “Get out!
Get out!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in frustration.
With a swift motion, Nathaniel extended his arm and pulled her into his embrace. He held her close, his voice
firm. “From now on, we'll sleep together.”

“No! Let go, or I'll...” Cecilia paused, struggling to find a suitable threat, “I'll bite you.”
Bile me?
Nathaniel’s voice lowered, becoming a bit hoarse. “Go ahead.”
Cecilia had never encountered someone so audacious before. Without hesitation, she bit down on his shoulder.
She didn’t bite too hard, but it should have been painful. Nathaniel let out a stifled grunt, but instead of letting
her go, he held her even tighter.
“Ceci, do you really despisethat much?” he asked, his voice carrying a hint of vulnerability.
Cecilia was taken aback by his question. “Haven't we already discussed this?” she replied, her voice. wavering.
“I'm only staying with you out of obligation, not because | want to live as your wife.”
“I never agreed to that,” Nathaniel responded calmly.
“Why can’t you keep your word?” Cecilia suddenly grew upset, her voice rising slightly in frustration.
Just then, the familiar voice of Martha echoed from the doorway. “Ceci, is everything all right in there?”
Cecilia was about to respond, but Nathaniel spoke up first. “It’s fine, Martha. You should get srest.”
Hearing Nathaniel’s deep voice, Martha wasn’t particularly surprised. “All right, you two should get ssleep «
as well,” she said before walking away.
