Chapter 399 Are They Living Together

Only then did Nathaniel stop.

After she fell asleep once again, he immediately headed to the bathroom and took a cold shower.

On the other side, Elliot was escorted into an extraordinarily lavish children’s room by the servants. After seeing off the guests, Elena hurried over with a look of sincere concern.

“Jonathan, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long,” she said, her voice filled with warmth. “Would you like something to eat?”

Elliot looked at her, noting her beauty and graceful aging, despite being well into her fifties. The thought of her being a wicked old woman didn’t sit well with him. Despite his inner discontent, he managed to greet her with feigned enthusiasm, “Grandma Elena, I’ve missed you. What took. you so long to come?”

He got up and immediately clung to Elena’s thigh, rubbing his runny nose on her.

Elena was taken aback. It was the first time she had seen Jonathan rely on her so much.

“I’m so sorry, dear. I shouldn’t have left you alone like this. You wouldn’t believe how much I wanted to rush over to you as soon as I heard you were coming.”

A hint of surprise flickered in Elliot’s heart.

It was truly astonishing how much Elena adored Jonathan.

“Really?”

Elliot looked at Elena with a pitiful expression.

“Of course it’s true,” Elena assured him, before posing her own question. “Why did you suddenly visit me? Did your mom give you a hard time at home? If you’re willing, you can stay with me from now on. I’ll treat you well.”

Elliot was just considering getting to know more about the Rainsworth family.

“All right, I’m willing.”

Upon hearing the news, a wide smile instantly spread across Elena’s face. She immediately. instructed her secretary to arrange a larger residence for Elliot among other things.

Elliot found her attentiveness rather peculiar. Clearly, she was unaware that he was her grandson, so why was she being so kind to him?

“Grandma, I’m tired, I want to sleep.”

“All right, get some rest.”

Elliot clutched at her clothes. “Grandma, can you stay here with me? I’m scared.”

“Sure.” Elena naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Watching the child, who was a miniature version of Nathaniel, she felt a deep, indescribable fondness.

However, throughout the night, Elliot kept her busy–asking her to fetch water, accompany him to the restroom, and more. She barely got any sleep.

Facing such a patient Elena, Elliot found it peculiar. How had this old witch become so agreeable?

He had seen reports about Elena on the news and watched her interview videos.

Several female celebrities had been on the receiving end of her scathing remarks and targeted actions. Online, she was constantly met with criticism and no one was fond of her iron lady persona.

Meanwhile, Nicholas had spent the entire night awake, listening intently as Jocelyn recounted all the news from the Rainsworth residence.

“Last night, Cecilia and Nathaniel were ridiculed all the way home, but they didn’t let it bother them,” Jocelyn reported.

Deep down, she felt a hint of envy for this kind of love, where right and wrong seemed irrelevant. as long as the two were together..

After taking a sip of coffee, Nicholas unexpectedly asked, “Are they living together?”

“Of course,” Jocelyn replied, replaceing his question a bit strange. Nathaniel and Cecilia were a married couple, so naturally, they lived together.”

Nicholas gazed at the slightly bright sky outside. “I want to go for a walk.”

“All right, I’ll get your clothes ready for you.”

Jocelyn went to fetch his coat.

Nicholas‘ health had always been delicate, so he needed to avoid catching a chill.

However, by the time Jocelyn fetched his coat, Nicholas had already left.

He walked through the snow, heading toward Nathaniel’s residence without fully realizing it.

Meanwhile, Cecilia had also gotten up early, preparing clothes for Nathaniel as she planned to leave in the morning.

“Hurry up and get dressed, we need to head back home. Jon and Eli are still there,” said Cecilia.

Nathaniel was barely awake. “All right,” he mumbled.

As Cecilia went to wash up and brush her teeth, she stood on the balcony and gazed at the snowy scene outside. There, in the snow–covered ground, she spotted a tall figure.
