When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 699 Refuse To Return The Money

Cecilia’s body stiffened.

Nathaniel couldn’t see it, but since he didn’t manage to kiss her lips, he leaned over again to do Elliot’s eyes instantly widened. How infuriating! You’ve gone too far, se mbag daddy! I only allowed a peck, not for you to make it a kiss!

“Mommy.

Snapping back to reality, Cecilia sidestepped Nathaniel and nudged him. “All right, let’s eat. Quit fooling around.”

Nathaniel’s lips curled up slightly. “All right.”

The family sat together for a meal.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

After dinner, they relaxed in the living room. By nine o’clock, they washed up and went to bed.

Elliot held Cecilia’s hand and asked, “Mommy, can you and Daddy stay with me tonight?”

Just as Cecilia was about to respond, Nathaniel said, “Eli, you’re not a toddler anymore. You need to learn to sleep on your own.”

Elliot was somewhat bewildered. What on earth are you up to, sc*mbag daddy? Can’t you see I’m helping you?

Unfortunately, his father was oblivious, and Elliot didn’t know how to signal him with his eyes.

“All right, then.” Since Nathaniel was unappreciative, Elliot decided not to bother helping him anymore.

In reality, that wasn’t the case. Nathaniel just wanted to share the bed with Cecilia.

After Elliot had retired to his room for the night, Nathaniel followed behind Cecilia.

Puzzled, the latter asked, “Why are you following me?”

A tightness gripped Nathaniel’s throat. “To sleep with you, of course,” he replied, his voice rich with a magnetic resonance.

“You take the master bedroom. I’ll sleep in the guest room,” Cecilia said, her cheeks rosy.

She was pregnant now and didn’t want to share the bed with him for no reason.

Her rejection took Nathaniel aback. Without uttering another word, he took two steps forward, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his voice. “I want to sleep with you”

After speaking, he disregarded Cecilia’s resistance and led her back to the master bedroom.

The night had fallen deep, yet the Evans family members hadn’t retired to bed.

Ralph stared at the enforcement order issued by the court, his brows tightly furrowed. “Where on earth did Cecilia find all that evidence? Now they’re demanding most of the assets. How is this possible?” he exclaimed.

He had summoned Cassandra back from Rainsworth Manor. She too became anxious upon seeing Cecilia getting serious, “Dad, what should we do: We’re not returning all of the Smith family’s assets to her, are we?”

“That’s impossible,” Ralph replied with a hand on his forehead.

Having obtained this money from Paula and Magnus with great difficulty, how could he bear to return it?

“It’s all your mom’s fault for giving birth to such a daughter. Tell her to handle this matter,” he said.

“She gave me all her money. Where would she get more to return?” Cassandra responded.

Ralph turned to her and said, “By the way, aren’t you and Cecilia biological siblings? Why don’t you invite her for a casual meal at our place? Let’s talk and appeal to her through familial ties.”

Cassandra replied, “It’s pointless. Cecilia, that wretched girl, is determined to get the money. Dad, we have no choice but to continue the lawsuit!”

Ralph’s face was etched with worry. The lawsuit was both time–consuming and expensive. He didn’t dare to tell his daughter that he was running out of money for legal fees in dealing with Imminence Corporation.

Cassandra seemed to have noticed something as she asked, “Dad, what’s been happening with the company lately?”

Ralph let out a sigh. “I don’t know why I’ve been running into bad luck everywhere lately. In essence, we’ve been operating at a deficit.”

Cassandra instantly understood.

She stood up and said, “Dad, don’t worry. A weakened Evans family is still better off than ordinary people. We need not fear Cecilia. If worst comes to worst, I’ll go find Mom.”

The “Mom” she was referring to was Queenie.

Cassandra knew that in this world, there were very few things that Queenie couldn’t fix.

Ralph nodded, but inwardly, he contemplated selling all his shares while Evans Group was still

By doing that, even if Cecilia came for the money, she would only receive an empty shell
