When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390 Still Failed To Prevent
Cecilia quickly wrapped herself in the blanket. “No, no.”

She disentangled herself from Nathaniel's embrace, hurriedly dressed, and then slipped out of the room with practiced stealth.

Unbeknownst to her, two pairs of eyes had been watching from the shadows.

Elliot, in a hushed tone, said, “Why would he lie? Mommy was clearly with him.”

Jonathan, who was precocious, pondered the situation and thought of a possibility. “D*mn it! We still failed to prevent it!”

“What does that mean?” Elliot asked, genuinely confused.

Jonathan, though he had only a vague understanding, explained, “Just watch Granny Martha's favorite show, 'Romeo and Juliet', and other romance dramas. You'll see what a man and a woman do together—they kiss!”

Jonathan would often watch these shows with Martha when Elliot was in the hospital. While he wasn't particularly fond of them, he would sit through them dutifully. Martha would be deeply moved to tears by the drama, and Jonathan, though initially uninterested, learned a great deal about romantic relationships and interactions from these shows.

“Darn it!” Elliot exclaimed as realization dawned on him. “He actually kissed Mommy?”

Furious, Elliot didn't bother to keep his voice down.

Cecilia, on her way back to her room, heard his outburst and turned to see them. Knowing they could no longer hide, Jonathan and Elliot emerged from their hiding spot.

Elliot confronted Cecilia directly, “Mommy, why were you in Mr. Rainsworth's room?”

He was overwhelmed by jealousy. It's been ages since Mommy kissed my cheek! I can't believe she kissed that scumbag!
