When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1524 Not Worthy Of Being Their Daddy

Cecilia hadn't expected Eric to show up.

Reluctantly, she began to walk toward him, not wanting to be rude. But just as she took a couple of steps, Nathaniel suddenly grasped her hand. Instinctively, Cecilia tried to pull away, but Nathaniel held her hand firmly, asserting his position as her husband. Cecilia felt a flicker of irritation. She stood there for a moment and said softly, "Mr. Rainsworth, please..."

Before she could even finish, Nathaniel quickly released her hand.

Cecilia immediately stepped back, putting some distance between them.

Though she had come to trust Nathaniel, accepting him as her partner still felt difficult. Nathaniel stared at his empty hand, a sense of frustration weighing heavily on his heart. Why is she so afraid of me?

Cecilia quickly walked past Nathaniel and made her way to the group. Eric called out to her, "Come, sit next to me."

Feeling a bit shy, Cecilia hesitated to take the seat beside him.

Fortunately, the tension was broken by her sons, Jonathan and Elliot. "Mommy, why don't you sit here? We have a lot of space."noveldrama

Cecilia smiled apologetically at Eric. "Sorry, I think I'll sit with them instead."

She eagerly joined Jonathan and Elliot.

Surprisingly, Eric followed her, his expression unphased. "This place is so spacious," he said casually. "I think I'll sit here too."

As he settled in, a looming shadow blocked out the light. Eric looked up slowly, meeting Nathaniel's piercing gaze.

Elliot sighed. "Mr. Eric, this is our family's spot. Would you mind sitting elsewhere?"

Though he admired the handsome man, he wanted his parents to reconcile more than anything. He longed for the warmth and unity of a complete family again.

With a playful grin, Eric teased, "Eli, you're really heartless, aren't you? Back when we were abroad, you used to call me 'Daddy Eric' all the time. Now, it's just 'Mr. Eric'?" Daddy Eric?

Nathaniel turned to look at Elliot. "Do you call just anyone 'Daddy'?"

Elliot's face flushed.

Back then, Eli had desperately yearned for a father figure. Whenever he encountered a good-looking man. he'd innocently call him "Daddy" 16:51 Wed, Jan 22 GR.

Jonathan, ever the straight talker, added, "Do you really want to be our father? It's not impossible, but our dad would need to be extremely wealthy." Cecilia nearly choked on her water, holding it back just in time.

Elliot quickly added, "Yeah, if you want to be our dad, you need to be rich. So, hey, sc*mbag daddy, are you extremely wealthy?" Nathaniel casually replied, "Yeah, pretty much."

Jonathan and Elliot then turned to Eric with raised eyebrows. "Maybe you should consider finding another son," they said, their tone full of playful sarcasm. The implication was clear-they meant that Eric was not worthy of being their father and was suggesting him to find another woman.

The two children might be young, but they were scheming.

Even Eric, known for his thick skin, couldn't help but feel embarrassed by their comments. Realizing he was no longer welcome, he shifted his position.

Eric, with his good looks and considerable talent, was a favorite among the girls, and Vivian, along with the others, admired him greatly,

Meanwhile, Mason stood next to Zachary, watching Lucille, his soon-to-be fiancée, gazing at Eric with a lovesick expression. The jealousy radiating from Mason was unmistakable. "What's so great about this guy? I don't think he's that handsome," he muttered.

Zachary also said, "Great minds think alike. He's not as handsome as me."

Darren initially found the two incredibly childish and petty, but his expression changed when he saw Madeline asking Eric for his new album. A storm stirred beneath his usually calm gaze. "In this day and age, entertainers like him shouldn't exist!" he muttered under his breath, his frustration evident.
