Chapter 164 He Does Not Like Women

Under the moonlight, Cecilia looked up at the face she had adored for half her life. “Mr. Rainsworth, didn’t we have an agreement?”

The hand that Nathaniel had placed on her face froze as he met meeting her clear, shining eyes.

It seemed as though she could burst into tears any second now.

Nathaniel couldn’t fathom why, but a bitterness welled up within him. He withdrew his hand, rose from the bed, and left the ward without a word.

Once outside, he still couldn’t forget the unfamiliar look in Cecilia’s eyes when she looked at him.

Mr. Rainsworth?

He sat in the car, smoking a cigarette, and dialed Mason’s number. “What day is it today?”

It was two in the morning when Mason was roused from his sleep, only to be met with a question that came out of the blue.

He paused to think, unable to recall any tasks for the day, leaving him with no choice but to get up and check.

There weren’t any collaborative projects today, nor was it any kind of holiday.

By chance, he spotted a trending birthday topic on his computer and realized it was Cecilia’s birthday.

Mason gave Nathaniel a call.

“Mr. Rainsworth, today is Ms. Smith’s birthday.”

When Cecilia married Nathaniel, he had done some homework.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known about Cecilia’s birthday.

Nathaniel genuinely hadn’t anticipated it, nor could he recall Cecilia’s birthday.

He finally realized why Cecilia had given him such an attitude and why Calvin had chosen to return last night..

Noticing that Nathaniel had yet to respond, Mason asked, “Mr. Rainsworth, should I prepare a gift?”

Nathaniel only regained his senses when the cigarette singed his fingers.

“No.”

He then hung up the phone.

Nathaniel spent the entire night seated in the car..

The following day, at the crack of dawn, he knocked and entered Cecilia’s ward.

She could be discharged from the hospital at any time.

“Let’s

1. go. I’ll take you somewhere,” Nathaniel said seriously.

Cecilia looked at him, puzzled. “Where are we going?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see the kid?”

Suddenly, a sparkle appeared in Cecilia’s eyes.

“Thank you…”

As she voiced her words of gratitude, she felt it was rather abrupt.

Why should she thank the man who had taken her son away?

“You’re welcome,” he responded casually.

The atmosphere in the car had noticeably improved.

At Spring Forest Manor, Elliot’s health condition had stabilized. His days were relatively comfortable, with plenty to eat and drink.

He merely wondered when his despicable father would deign to see him again.

He remembered that today was Cecilia’s birthday, and he wasn’t sure if Nathaniel would celebrate it with her.

“When will he come to see me again?”

His large eyes were fixed on the nanny.

The nanny wasn’t sure, but after the last time Nathaniel visited and all the commotion that ensued, she suspected he probably wouldn’t want to come again.

“I don’t know.”

Elliot let out a sigh. “Can I give him a call?”

Eating and drinking here every day was becoming too monotonous.

He wanted to give Nathaniel a hard time.

The nanny looked troubled. “I don’t have the authority to call Mr. Rainsworth.”

Fearing the child might not understand, she rephrased her explanation.

Elliot feigned understanding. “Oh, so next time I should ask him for his phone number and you can save it.”

Save Mr. Rainsworth’s number?

The nanny felt she had found the key to happiness when she thought of Nathaniel’s handsome face and the endless wealth behind him.

“Is that okay?” the nanny asked, brimming with joy.

If she could use Elliot as a stepping stone to win over Nathaniel and become the wife of a wealthy. family, she wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Elliot hadn’t expected the plump and cherubic girl standing before him to harbor dreams of a life in high society.

In order to make her aware of the harsh realities of the world, he thought it was necessary to wake her up from her naivety.

“I have a secret to share with you.”

The nanny listened attentively.

“What secret?”

“He doesn’t like women.”

The nanny’s eyes were filled with shock.

She never imagined that the esteemed CEO of Rainsworth Group wasn’t into women, but men.

She almost walked right into the lion’s den.
