NovelEnglishChapter 576 He Is Not Bad At All
Elliot was relentless in his fussing. The heart of the issue was that he had fallen ill and was genuinely feeling
miserable.
Cecilia patiently coaxed him.
“Mommy, | just want Mr. Rainsworth to spend stwith us.”
“All right then, I'll call Mr. Rainsworth over, Make sure you behave yourself.”
Cecilia was truly at a loss.
Rising from the bed, Cecilia ventured outside. Nathaniel was still awake, busily engrossed in his work in the
study.
She knocked on the door, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Nathaniel paused what he was doing and looked toward the door.
“Aren’t you done yet?”
“Almost done. Is there something you need?” Nathaniel asked seriously.
Gathering her courage, Cecilia said, “Cto bed with us once you're done with your work.”

Nathaniel’s mind was no longer on his work when he heard that. His expression remained. unchanged as he
simply responded, “Okay.”
Cecilia returned to the room and informed Elliot that Nathaniel would be arriving soon.
She had thought it would take at least half an hour, but to her surprise, Nathaniel had already changed into his
pajamas and cover in just a few minutes.
Upon seeing him, Elliot immediately said, “Mr. Rainsworth, didn’t you say that | sleepwalk? Holdtonight, so |
won't wander around.”
With long strides, Nathaniel swiftly moved forward and lay down on the bed.
Elliot patted his other side and turned to Cecilia. “Mommy, can you sleep huggingtoo?”
“Okay.”
Cecilia was at a loss for how to handle him.
And so, Elliot slept between the two of them. As they both held him, their hands inadvertently. touched each
other.
Elliot had never experienced such happiness as he did that day.
Cecilia and Nathaniel held him as he slept, and he quickly drifted off into dreamland.
Cecilia was still awake. Through the dim light, she saw the faint scar on Nathaniel’s stern face. She raised her
hand, wanting to touch it.
Nathaniel was one step ahead. He took hold of her hand and asked quietly, “Can’t sleep?”
Cecilia's hand flinched, yet she couldn't break free. “Yeah.”
Nathaniel let go gently. He lifted Elliot into his arms, placed him by his side, and then leaned toward Cecilia.
Cecilia was somewhat bewildered. “What are you doing?”
“We're a married couple. We should sleep side by side.”
As Nathaniel spoke, he pulled her into his embrace, completely disregarding Elliot.
Unable to free herself, Cecilia lowered her voice and asked, “What happened to your face?”
“lI accidentally got scratched by sglass. It’s nothing serious.”
Cecilia thought he couldn't see, so it was normal for him to bump into things, hence she didn’t question further.
Feeling somewhat tired, Cecilia fell asleep right there in his arms.
The next day, when Elliot woke up, he realized he was still in the sroom.
However, he found it peculiar that Cecilia and Nathaniel were sleeping together on one side, while he was left to
sleep in the corner.

“Was | really sleepwalking?”
Scratching his head, Elliot climbed out of bed and went to freshen up.
After that, he returned to the nursery and dialed Jonathan’s number.
“Jon.”
Jonathan rubbed his eyes, still half-asleep. “Why are you callingso early?”
He had hosted a midnight live-stream with Vivian the day before, and it had proven to be notably successful.
“I have something | want to discuss with you.”
Upon seeing his serious demeanor, Jonathan thought his condition had worsened or there was sother
reason. He immediately asked, “What is it? Tell me.”
“I've decided to forgive Daddy.”
Daddy....
Jonathan was utterly bewildered.
“Are you kidding me?”
They had agreed to stick by Cecilia's side for life. Once they grew up, they planned to teach Nathaniel a lesson.
“Jon, he’s not bad at all. He even savedyesterday.” Elliot said. As he recalled how Nathaniel had cto his «
rescue, a warm feeling filled his heart.
