When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 918 Return To The Rainsworth Manor

After changing into appropriate clothing, Nathaniel, Cecilia, and Elliot then headed toward the Rainsworth Manor.

The Rainsworth Manor was exceptionally lively that day.

In wealthy households, there was never a lack of popularity.

Even Jessica, who hadn’t fully recovered, made her way there to keep Niel company.

Elena and Cassandra were busy greeting their guests when Queenie arrived. Some of the attendees recognized Queenie and upon learning that Cassandra was pregnant, they each took turns to convey their sentiments to Elena.

“Mdm. Elena, Cassandra is already pregnant. When will she and Nicholas get married?”

“Exactly, have a date been set yet?”

“Once everything is set, let us know so we can prepare their wedding gifts in advance.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Listening to everyone pressuring her about Nicholas‘ marriage, Elena couldn’t help but fret.

She had also discussed it with her son, but Nicholas kept assuring her that he had everything under control, telling her not to worry. Thus, she didn’t press the matter further.

“It really depends on Cassandra and Nicholas. Whenever they decide to have their wedding, that’s when it will happen,” Elena replied.

Everyone’s gaze was drawn to the bashfully blushing Cassandra.

Cassandra was completely open about it. “We’re already picking out our wedding dress. We’ll be married before long.”

As soon as she spoke these words, everyone began to offer their congratulations.

When Nicholas returned, he heard about Cassandra’s remarks from his subordinates. He didn’t say anything, but his expression had darkened.

Isn’t Cassandra indirectly rushing me to get married?

Jocelyn had also noticed it but still advised Nicholas, “Mr. Nicholas, Ms. Evans is carrying your child after all. It’s better for the child if you marry her sooner rather than later.”

Nicholas looked at her, his usual gentleness nowhere to be found.

“Jocelyn, don’t meddle in my personal affairs in the future.”

He rarely scolded Jocelyn in such a cold tone. Jocelyn lowered her head, not daring to speak further.

Nicholas softened his voice again. “You should know I don’t like her.”

Jocelyn simply nodded.

Cassandra because of Queenie.

The banquet was in full swing.

Meanwhile, not long after Nicholas returned, Nathaniel also arrived.

As soon as Nathaniel arrived, all eyes were drawn to him.

Jessica also turned her gaze toward Nathaniel.

Niel watched as Nathaniel and his family approached, he couldn’t help but snap, “Nathaniel, you’re becoming more and more thoughtless.” Niel was already aware of the incident that occurred the day before. He had learned from Jessica that the child Cecilia was carrying was not sired by Nathaniel. “Come with me to the study.” He knew that he shouldn’t air his family’s dirty laundry in public. Just as Niel was about to leave, Jessica immediately stopped him and softly said, “Old Mr. Rainsworth, you mustn’t tell Nathaniel that it was me who said it.” Niel gently patted her hand, assuring, “Don’t worry.” Nathaniel softly instructed Cecilia and Elliot to wait, then followed Mason to meet with Niel. Cecilia watched as Niel’s man led Nathaniel to the study.

She took Elliot’s hand and casually found a deserted spot to sit.

Oddly enough, perhaps due to the branch company’s bankruptcy and the debt they were left with, Nathaniel’s cousin, Adrian, and his wife, Miranda, didn’t show up. Only Felix was sitting alone in the corner.

Felix had noticed Elliot quite a while ago.

His resentment toward Elliot remained intense even then.

He felt that if it hadn’t been for Elliot, he wouldn’t have been neglected, and his parents wouldn’t have frequently argued.

Felix knew that Elliot and Jonathan were not the same. Elliot was sickly.

He clenched his fist, resolute in his decision to teach Elliot a lesson later.
