Chapter 924 Fetch A Lot Of Money

Cecilia and Nathaniel brought Elliot back to Rainsworth Manor. On the way, Elliot was holding the seemingly ordinary bead.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Daddy, Mommy, can this bead fetch a lot of money?”

Cecilia nodded. “Yes, relics are very precious. You must take good care of it in the future.”

Besides, Niel had mentioned that it came from a high priest after his passing and wasn’t easy to acquire.

“Okay,” Elliot agreed without hesitation.

He soon fell asleep, leaning against Cecilia.

Cecilia held him, not daring to let him out of her sight for even a second.

Back at Rainsworth Manor, Cecilia placed Elliot on the bed and covered him with a blanket.

Only after making sure he was settled did she go wash up and get ready for bed.

Nathaniel finished washing up first and lay on the bed.

That night, as they slept together, Cecilia had a nightmare, dreaming that something terrible happened to Elliot. She woke up in a panic.

“Eli…”

Nathaniel was a light sleeper. When he heard her call out, he held her close. “Did you have a nightmare?”

It took Cecilia a moment to come to her senses in his arms.

“Yeah, I dreamed something bad happened to Eli again.”

Nathaniel gently patted her back. “It’s okay, it was just a dream.”

“Mm.” Cecilia nodded, though she couldn’t fall back asleep. “Why do you think Felix would push Elliot?”

Back when she saw the video, she was shocked. How could a child be so cruel?

“Kids are often influenced by their parents. My father and my uncle never got along, so from a young age, Adrian saw me as a competitor,” Nathaniel explained.

To the past Nathaniel, however, Adrian was never a true rival.

It was the first time Cecilia had heard Nathaniel talk about these things.

Though she’d been married into the Rainsworth family for years, she hadn’t seen much of Nathaniel’s uncle, having only heard that he primarily managed overseas businesses and only returned for the occasional New Year celebration.

“We’ll have to keep a close eye on him from now on,” Cecilia said.

“Of course.” Nathaniel tightened his embrace around her.

The next morning, when Cecilia woke up, Nathaniel was no longer in the bedroom.

After getting up, the temporary nanny who had come to care for Elliot told her, “Mr. Nathaniel went out with his cousins.”

Cecilia nodded.

Elliot looked much better now. He had changed into a brand–new, custom–made little suit, which him a more serious appearance.

“Mommy.”

Cecilia walked over. “Is this the outfit Grandma bought for you?”

Elliot nodded.

He still preferred the cute clothes his mommy picked out for him, but the nanny had chosen this set for him to wear.

The nanny approached, “Mrs. Rainsworth, Mr. Elliot, once you’re both ready, shall we go over for breakfast? Mdm. Elena has been waiting for you.”

After what had happened last night, Elena hadn’t had a chance to talk much with Elliot.

“Okay.”

Cecilia took Elliot along to Elena’s place.

It was only a few minutes‘ walk. When they arrived at the dining room, they saw Cassandra and the cousins gathered there, but Elena was absent.

Jessica was among them, chatting and laughing. However, when she saw Cecilia enter, she immediately fell silent.

The lively atmosphere instantly turned to dead silence.

Seeing this, Cassandra spoke up, “As you hadn’t come by yet, Mom was busy and had to leave. Come, sit down.”

“Okay.”

Cecilia pulled out a chair and told Elliot to sit first.

After what had happened yesterday, the cousins didn’t dare speak ill of Elliot anymore. They knew he was Elena’s beloved grandson.
