Chapter 136 He Keeps Crying For His Parents

Once Elliot was outside, standing on the balcony, he noticed his surroundings were nothing but mountains and trees.

Elliot frowned. “He’s not imprisoning a child at all; it’s like he’s locking away a villain!”

After standing on the balcony for a short while, he started to feel a bit unwell.

Forcing himself to endure, he proceeded to observe other areas.

For the past few days of his confinement, he had been constantly seeking an opportunity to

cscape.

However, the security system here was too stringent. Even if he managed to evade the security guards, with his frail and sickly body, he wouldn’t be able to run a kilometer without fainting, or even worse, losing his life.

He had been surveying the area for quite some time when the nanny finally realized that Elliot had disappeared. She was instantly filled with panic.

“Eli! Eli, where are you?”

If anything happened to the child, the boss would certainly have her hide.

She was trembling with fear when Elliot brought in a glass of water.

“Ma’am, are you tired? Have some water.”

Upon seeing Elliot, the nanny breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the child was so sensible and adorable, she completely forgot to treat him like a three or four–year–old.

“Eli, thank you, but I’m not thirsty. In the future, make sure to let me know what you’re about to do or where you’re going. You gave me quite a scare just now.”

“Got it.” Elliot nodded seriously.

Subsequently, he seemed to recall something, and his eyes brimmed with unshed tears.

The nanny was taken aback. “Eli, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Elliot sniffled, “I miss my mommy and daddy. Ma’am, can you call your boss and let him know?”

Huge tears slid down his face, and the nanny simply couldn’t bear to see him cry.

“All right, I’ll get in touch with the butler right away.”

She didn’t have Nathaniel’s contact information.

Besides that, the network connection within the estate was completely blocked. Hence, to contact the butler, the nanny had to go through the outermost security guards.

After placing Elliot under the watch of the other nannies, she went to inform a security guard. She mentioned that little Elliot had been crying non–stop and kept saying that he missed his

parents.

The security guard then contacted the butler in charge of Spring Forest Manor through a specialized communication device.

The morning sun shone brightly.

Cecilia slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a sturdy arm. As she looked up, she found herself face to face with the magnified, handsomes of Nathaniel.

She only then realized that Nathaniel had completely shifted to her side while sleeping.

Cecilia furrowed her brows, cautiously reaching out to push his arm away.

“Don’t move!”

Nathaniel’s voice rang out, tinged with impatience.

Exerting a little more force, he held Cecilia even tighter.

“Sleep a bit longer.”

He hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time.

It wasn’t that he lacked the time, but he simply couldn’t sleep. Now that he finally managed to fall asleep, he wasn’t in a rush to go to work and didn’t want to get up.

“I don’t want to sleep anymore,” Cecilia said, trying once again to pull away from him. However, his grip on her was so tight that she couldn’t break free.

With no other option, she could only close her eyes.

Not long after, the urgent ringing of Nathaniel’s phone broke the silence.

Battling his rage, he forced his eyes open. With one arm, he held Cecilia close, while the other reached for the phone on the bedside table.

“What’s the matter?”

On the other end of the phone, the butler relayed Elliot’s matter to him.

“I got it.” Nathaniel promptly ended the call.

I should make a rule that no one is allowed to call me before nine in the future.

“Can I get up now?” asked Cecilia.

Finished

Nathaniel originally wanted to hold her and sleep for a while longer. However, thinking of Elliot, he couldn’t risk anything happening, so he let go of his hold.

“Fine. I’ll be stepping out for a bit later due to some business.”

He rose from the bed in a languid manner.

Cecilia turned her head away while he was getting dressed and said, “Can we discuss something? Can you not hold me while we sleep in the future? To be precise, let’s set some ground rules for how we’ll interact from now on. I feel like this is really unfair to me.”

After returning to her homeland, Cecilia had done her homework. She discovered that men often craved what they couldn’t have, so playing hard to get was the way to go.

Nathaniel gazed at her with half–lidded eyes.

The woman hid beneath the covers, her ink–black hair strewn messily across the bed. Her delicate face was partially concealed by the strands of hair, adding an extra layer of allure to her

appearance.

“What kind of fairness are you seeking?”

“When you return, I’ll draft an agreement,” Cecilia said.
