Chapter 452 An Unwanted Visitor

Though Elliot thought differently in his heart, he put on a facade. “You're the one who's dead, not my dad. You're

the bad guy,” he sniffled, trying to appear upset

Nathaniel wasn’t fond of children, especially not this one. The sound of his fake crying was nothing but an

annoyance to him. “Stop crying,” he ordered, his patience wearing thin.

“No,” Elliot continued his pretense, though no tears fell.

Nathaniel couldn't tell if he was really crying or just pretending. But he knew that if Cecilia cout and found

him upset, she would be furious with him. “Your father isn’t dead,” Nathaniel said, trying to placate him. you

cursed

“But you my dad!” Elliot's sobs grew louder, pushing Nathaniel’s patience to its limit.

Nathaniel felt a headache coming on. “Stop crying, | was just kidding,” he admitted, trying to soothe him.

Elliot hadn't expected his stern father to back down so easily. Glancing at the clock on the wall, he realized it was

almost tfor his mother to be done with her check-up.

It seems that Daddy id quite intimidated by Mommy at the moment. | could definitely use this to my advantage.

“You're an adult. How could you possibly joke about something like that? My daddy's dead! | need to return to

Erihal with Mommy to pay my respects to him...” Elliot's words were calculated, his cries deliberate.

After all, Nathaniel is my real father. If anything, my grief and tears are for him, so | wouldn't be cursing Mr.

Reese.

Nathaniel hadn't expected the child to take his words so seriously. If he had known, he would have never said it.

Now, he was in trouble.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a wave of regret. “I was only joking. What can | do to stop you from

crying?” he asked, trying to find a way out of the situation.

“You could apologize to me,” Elliot suggested, his tone firm. “The teacher says you should apologize when you

do something wrong.”

Elliot was curious to see if his stubborn father would actually apologize to him. In his lifetime, apart from

apologizing to Cecilia, Nathaniel had never apologized to anyone else. The thought of apologizing to this brat,

whom he saw as the child of another man from Cecilia’s past, was almost unbearable.

But seeing that Nathaniel remained silent, Elliot's cries grew even louder. Wah, my daddy’s gone. I'm now a child

without a dad... Oh, my dear daddy...” he wailed, his voice echoing through the room.

His cries attracted the attention of a nurse passing by. “Eli, what happened to your dad?” the nurse asked,

peeking into the room.

Nathaniel was caught off guard, not expecting anyone else to interfere. “He's fine,” Nathaniel replied, trying to

dismiss her concern.

The nurse was taken aback by Nathaniel’s stern expression, his handsface momentarily rendering her

speechless. “That's good to hear,” she muttered before leaving, still unsure of what to make of the situation.

After the nurse left, Elliot's cries continued. Faintly, the nurse could hear Nathaniel’s deep voice saying, “I'm

sorry, | was wrong. | shouldn't have joked about that. Your dad is fine.”

Elliot, not easily satisfied, insisted, “Apologies should be sincere. Say it a few more times.”

Reluctantly, Nathaniel repeated himself, trying to appease the child.

On the other side of the hospital, Cecilia had just completed all her examinations. The doctor had asked both

Nathaniel and Elliot to cover, and as soon as Nathaniel heard this, he bectense, worried about Cecilia's

condition.

Elliot immediately stopped his fussing, focusing intently on what the doctor was saying.

“The child is in good health, and not only that,” the doctor said, “through the ultrasound, we've confirmed the

presence of two gestational sacs.”

The news hit Cecilia like a ton of bricks-she was expecting twins again. She was so stunned by the revelation

that she didn’t notice Nathaniel, standing beside her, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.

Elliot was the first to react. “So, does that mean I'm going to have two younger siblings? | finally get to be an

older brother!” he exclaimed, his excitement bubbling over.

“Indeed,” the doctor confirmed, his voice filled with warmth.

Cecilia knew how much Elliot had longed to becan older brother, and seeing his joy brought. a smile to her

face.

After taking sprescribed medication to support her pregnancy, Cecilia, Nathaniel, and Elliot prepared to

leave the hospital together.

With the New Year approaching, Cecilia had been planning to bring Elliot back hso they could all live

together. But as soon as the tarrived hand stepped out of the car, Cecilia's eyes fell on Paula, who was «

standing at the front door, waiting for them.
