When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 516

Chapter 516 We Will Eat At Home
Cassandra's expression stiffened.

She initially intended to make a good impression on Miranda and her family. Unexpectedly, she inadvertently offended her future mother-in-law.

She never expected that Elena would stand up for Elliot.

Adrian is right. The child has just been brought back to the Rainsworth family. Whether or not he truly is a Rainsworths is still uncertain. Furthermore, he has openly declared that Calvin is his father.

After giving Cassandra an appreciative look, Miranda took Adrian and their son's hands and left. “Let's go. We'll eat at home.”

The dinner saw a clash of different agendas, finally ending in an awkward manner.

After finishing their meal, Niel instructed the housekeepers to prepare another large bowl of duck feet for Eli.

Cecilia became curious. Elliot hated animal offals, especially duck feet.

Once they returned to Nathaniel's residence, she crouched down to inquire with Elliot when it was almost bedtime. “Eli, be honest with me. Did you intentionally provoke Felix today?”

It was often said that a mother knew her son best. Cecilia could sense that Elliot seemed to really hate the members of the Rainsworth family.

If he hates them, why does he enjoy living here?

When questioned, Elliot only revealed half of the truth.

“Mommy, he was the one who started it by calling me an unwanted child. That's why I retaliated.”

Upon hearing the term 'unwanted child', Cecilia felt as though she was stabbed in the heart.

She reached out and embraced Elliot.

“You're not an unwanted child at all. You're my most precious treasure, you know that, right?”

Elliot nodded, then couldn't help but ask, “Mommy, who is our real father? Why doesn't he want us?”

It was only after he saw Nathaniel defending him earlier that he suddenly asked this question.
