When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2148

Upon arrival, Nathaniel walked straight into the house. When he saw Cecilia and their children, he approached them immediately.

"Ceci," Nathaniel said gently.

The moment Cecilia saw him, she felt at ease.

Elena, who was sitting nearby, was puzzled. "Didn't you say you'll be late today because of work? Why are you here earlier than usual?"

"I got a break," Nathaniel replied briefly, then sat down beside Cecilia.

Watching the two of them, Elena felt a little envious. He finally smartened up.

Nathaniel lowered his voice to ask Cecilia, "What happened?"

Cecilia pulled out her phone and typed a message for him to read: Let's talk when we're home.

At that moment, Nathaniel noticed Nicholas was around, so he took out his phone and wrote: Okay.

He also sent her a hugging sticker. Originally, he didn't have stickers on his phone, but he naturally picked them up from seeing Cecilia use them often.

Cecilia smiled when she saw the sticker.

Across the room, Nicholas observed their interaction and became consumed by jealousy.

"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room now," he said while standing up.

"All right. Have a good rest," Elena replied.

Nicholas went upstairs.

When he passed by the children, Elliot distinctly felt something was amiss. He looked up at Nicholas' retreating figure, and a hint of terror surfaced in his eyes.

At that sight, Jonathan asked, "What's wrong?"

"H-He feels so scary!" Elliot stammered in a shaky voice.

Jonathan was dismissive about it.

He didn't know what was wrong with Elliot, but Elliot kept thinking that Nicholas was a bad person since meeting him. Jonathan had no idea how Elliot came to that conclusion.

"How so?" Jonathan asked.

Elliot took a deep breath. "The air around him is black."
