When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2246

Sure enough, the second Robert hung up, Wren turned on Elena.

"My brother just called. What was that about the grandsons getting into a fight?"

"A fight?" Elena's chest tightened. "Jon and Elliot weren't hurt, were they?"

"Your two grandsons are perfectly fine. Felix is the one who got hurt. And from what I heard, Elliot and Jon laid hands on him because they were helping some other classmates." Wren frowned. "You really need to talk to those kids. Even brothers have to stand together when they face trouble. How could they side with outsiders and bully their own cousin?"

That set a hard fire under Elena.

Still, she kept it down and didn't let it flare out.

She gave a cold laugh. "Jon and Elliot are the most sensible, best-behaved children there are. Why would they help outsiders bully their own family? Shouldn't you be asking Robert what really happened?"

"Felix grew up at the old man's side. He was spoiled rotten by the old man and his mother. He's arrogant and overbearing, and if he got hit, he had it coming."

"Good thing Jon and Elliot are fine. Tell your brother this—if anything happened to my grandsons, I would never let his grandson off."

After saying that, Elena stood up and headed inside.

She had no interest in standing there any longer and listening to Wren go on.

Seeing her act like that, Wren was left boiling. He started to go after her so he could say his piece, then stopped when Mr. Chandler's piece of land came back to mind.

In the end, he had no choice but to call Cecilia himself.

At that moment, Cecilia was at work.

She'd completely forgotten about going to pick up the kids yesterday afternoon.

So when her father-in-law's call came in, it caught her off guard.

Usually, if Wren had something to say, he called Nathaniel.

Why was he calling her today?

"Dad, did you need something?" she asked as she picked up.

Wren knew this daughter-in-law of his understood how to handle things and was easy to talk to.

That was exactly why he'd called her.
