When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 682

Chapter 682 A New Partner

“Everyone, please calm down,” Jonathan said, cutting through the noise. “Look at how he fell. Compare it to the first time he fell.”

His words quieted the crowd.

They were puzzled. <i>What difference could there be?</i>

Miranda scolded him, “You little rascal! You pushed my son and now you're mocking him? I'm going to teach you a lesson!”

“Don't you dare!” Cecilia snapped. Hearing Jonathan's words, she instantly understood the reason he pushed Felix.

Miranda, meeting Cecilia's gaze, dared not make any rash moves.

The others, who couldn't discern any difference, asked, “Is there anything different?”

A young girl pointed out the discrepancy, “Mom, Dad, look,” she said. “Felix fell face down the first time, but now he's on his back.”

As soon as she spoke, everyone noticed the difference. After his first fall, Felix's front was covered in mud, but now his back was smeared with it.

<i>But what's the point?</i>

Someone chuckled. “Jon's so mischievous. He made Felix fall face down the first time and land on his back the second time.”

Jonathan felt that he had overestimated some of his relatives' intelligence.

He explained, “Everyone, you all saw Felix fall, didn't you? He was walking toward my brother and me. We were facing each other. If I had pushed him, he should have fallen backward, with his back to the ground, like now. He shouldn't be lying face down on the ground. The only explanation is that he slipped and fell himself. To provide a clearer picture, I conducted an experiment for you all.”

After saying that, Jonathan approached Felix. “I didn't push you the first time, so there's no need for me to apologize. Also, I apologized before I pushed you the second time. Now, we're even.”
