With a smile in his eyes, Elliot thought, You’re so eager to play stepmother to others. Well, here’s a lesson for you.
The secretary was taken aback. The child who was perfectly fine just a moment ago had suddenly changed.
Only then did Mason understand the secretary’s intentions. He gave her a cold glance, taking Elliot back with him.
I think it’s time to reorganize the CEO’s secretarial department.
In the evening, on the way back, Elliot sat in the car with Nathaniel while the driver was driving. Tentatively, he asked, “Mr. Rainsworth, your company is full of beautiful women. Why did you fall for my mommy?”
Nathaniel didn’t ponder at all.
“I don’t know.”
If he knew why he liked Cecilia, he would know where to start and wouldn’t let himself be
Elliot was slightly stunned.
He wanted to say something more, but the driver up front spoke up.
“Mr. Rainsworth, there’s a car following us.”
upset.
Ever since Imminence Corporation first showed its potential, numerous companies were curious about who held the reins behind the scenes.
Nathaniel had already grown accustomed to it.
“Avoid them. Take a different route.”
“Understood.”
The driver immediately took a different route.
That day, however, the car trailing them was more than just for investigation purposes.
The car behind them suddenly sped up, resulting in a thunderous crash that shattered the car window.
Instinctively, Nathaniel pulled Elliot into his arms, shielding him from the oncoming sharp dagger.
The cold wind howled by his ear, leaving Elliot frozen in fear. He took refuge in Nathaniel’s embrace, not daring to make a single move.
The driver was quite accustomed to such scenarios. It didn’t take long for the car behind them to be stopped by the convoy that was secretly protecting them.
Everything settled down, and Nathaniel’s profile bore a shallow cut from the dagger’s swipe earlier.
“Mr. Rainsworth, are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
After speaking, Nathaniel gently patted the child in his arms.
“So, how do you feel coming with me to the office?”
Elliot was startled to his core. He forced himself to maintain composure. As he lifted his gaze, he saw the wound on Nathaniel’s stern face.
In truth, Elliot’s perception of Nathaniel had changed the moment danger struck and he pulled him into his arms.
“Mr. Rainsworth, there’s a cut on your face,” he stammered out.
Nathaniel remained unperturbed. “It’s nothing, just a minor scratch. Are you hurt?”
Elliot didn’t understand why, but at that moment, his guarded heart had opened up. “I’m fine.”
He cautiously lifted his gaze to look at Nathaniel and found him to be even more formidable.
“Mr. Rainsworth, aren’t you afraid of dying?”
After spending so much time with Nathaniel, he realized that no matter the circumstance, Nathaniel always maintained an exceptional calmness.
“Of course I am, but it’s pointless,” Nathaniel responded gravely.
Elliot hadn’t even noticed that his view of Nathaniel had changed from initial disdain to newfound admiration.
After he returned home, Cecilia accompanied him to bed.
“Mommy, can Mr. Rainsworth sleep with us?”
Cecilia asked in confusion, “Why?”
“I’m scared. But if Mr. Rainsworth sleeps with me, I won’t be as scared.”
Cecilia found herself in a bit of a predicament.
Every time Nathaniel shared a bed with her, it was always him who initiated it.
Would calling Nathaniel over to sleep give him the wrong impression?
“Eli. I’m very strong too. I can protect you.”
Elliot puckered his lips.
“No, I want Mr. Rainsworth to sleep with us. You’ve had your chance to sleep with him alone Why can’t the three of us sleep together? I feel so awful, Mommy. You don’t love me.”
