Chapter 270 No Blood Relation

Nathaniel’s heart lifted with anticipation as he awaited Mason’s report. But Mason’s words sent a chill down his spine. “The result is, there’s no blood relation.”

No blood relation… So, Cecilia hadn’t lied to me after all Our child had died before it was born. Elliot and the other kid aren’t mine–they are hers and Calvin’s!

Nathaniel’s hand clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. His throat felt

like it was on fire.

“Got it,” he said, ending the call abruptly.

The atmosphere in the car grew icy as Nathaniel stared at the bite mark on the back of his hand, his expression hardening. He had been so convinced that Cecilia had deceived him, but now he realized just how foolish he had been.

Instead of directing the driver back to the residence, he ordered him to head to a nearby bar.

Cecilia returned home, still shaken from the day’s events. As she tried to compose herself, a phone call came in from Martha.

“Mommy!” came the cheerful voices of her children.

Jonathan and Elliot’s faces appeared on the screen, their smiles bringing Cecilia a much–needed sense of comfort.

Relieved that Nathaniel hadn’t followed her back, she answered them warmly, “Jon, Eli, kisses!” She did her best to act naturally, hiding any hint of distress.

Mommy, when are you coming back?” Elliot asked, his big eyes twinkling with hope.

Cecilia smiled gently. “Just wait a little longer; I will be back soon.”

“Mommy, Jon and I miss you so much,” Elliot added,

“I miss you both too,” Cecilia replied, her heart aching with longing.

Jonathan then appeared on the screen, his tone mature. “Mommy, don’t forget to drink your milk tonight and take your vitamins.”

“Got it,” Cecilia assured him.

Her children’s concern and love made her feel incredibly fortunate. Because of them, she felt stronger, more determined to face whatever challenges lay ahead. She knew she had to be strong. Since she had chosen to raise her children on her own, she needed to be prepared to face any danger.

After their chat, Cecilia prepared for bed. On the other side, Martha was also urging the children to sleep, as Elliot had a hospital check–up the next day.

g to be asleep, quietly began to talk.

your tracks when you left Spring Forest Manor?” Jonathan asked

grinned smugly. “Of course. I replaced all my belongings.”

Including the toothbrush!

After discarding his own toothbrush, Elliot had cleverly tricked the housekeeper into using his child–sized toothbrush for him. That was why, when Nathaniel had the DNA test done, it showed no blood relation.

Elliot had prepared for every eventuality, though he hadn’t expected to actually need to use it.

“Good,” Jonathan said with satisfaction.

“But Jon, you need to reflect on your actions. You were almost caught by Nathaniel,” Elliot chided, recalling the incident where Jonathan had stolen from Nathaniel.

Jonathan sighed, rolling over. “I didn’t expect him to be so skilled.”

“If we hadn’t returned with Mommy this time, he might have traced everything back to her,” Elliot added with a sigh.

Jonathan felt a bit shaken by that thought. “All right, let’s go to sleep.”

Elliot, however, couldn’t sleep. Sometimes, his bones ached terribly at night. He murmured, “Jon, do

you think we let him off too easily?”

Jonathan smirked. “When I left, I left a small virus in their company

“Nice,” Elliot replied, pleased.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was oblivious to the children’s scheming, sipping his drink in the bar, lost in thought.

The next morning, chaos erupted at Rainsworth Group’s headquarters. Employees found their computers displaying humorous, photoshopped images of Nathaniel.
