Cecilia listened in silence, an inexplicable sadness welling up within her. She gently patted Nathaniel's back. "It's okay now. Go to sleep."

Nathaniel held her tightly once more before drifting off to sleep again. *完12%日

Cecilia allowed him to hold her, only gently prying his hand away once he had fallen into a deep sleep. Unable to sleep, Cecilia sat on the balcony, a gentle breeze brushing against her, lost in a myriad of thoughts.

At six in the morning, Nathaniel woke from his sleep, his head throbbing with pain. As he gradually regained consciousness, he felt significantly more alert.

He stared at the blanket draped over his body, momentarily lost in thought.

He vaguely remembered that it seemed like Cecilia was by his side after he returned, yet she wasn't anymore.

Nathaniel thought he was dreaming, so he made his way upstairs to the bathroom in his room. After taking a shower and changing into fresh clothes, he continued with his sleep.

Cecilia, too, heard the stirrings of Nathaniel, observing that he seemed to be all right. She thus returned to her own room.

When it was eight in the morning, Nathaniel woke up promptly. Everything was as if nothing had ever happened.

He was seated at the dining table, eating his breakfast with an air of refined elegance.

Cecilia sat across from him, observing his every move with surprise. He was pretty drunk last night, yet there's no trace of it today..

The man noticed her gaze and looked up. "What's up?"

"No, it's nothing." Cecilia immediately lowered his head, eating his meal quickly.

The two children also sensed a strange atmosphere at the dining table.

In a soft voice, Elliot asked Jonathan, "Jon, why does it feel like something's off?"

Jonathan replied, "Just focus on eating your bun."

"Okay."

After breakfast, the family headed to Rainsworth Manor for All Souls' Day, a time dedicated to paying respects to their forebears.

The moment the car pulled up in front of Rainsworth Manor, Elena was there to greet them. "Eli, Jon, come

to me."

Nathaniel stood by Elena's side, his phoenix eyes unabashedly falling upon Cecilia.

After a long time, Niel was also seen in the hall.

Niel's health was not what it used to be. Though he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren, Felix was constantly pestering him, asking for this and that.

Had it been in the past, Niel would've undoubtedly agreed to his requests without a moment's hesitation. However, he had gained two more great-grandchildren. Luke and Gabe were only a year old, at the most endearing and delightful age.

"Felix, why don't you go play with Jon and Eli? I'm not in the best health right now, and I can't keep up with your antics," Niel said.

Felix was chased away by Niel, feeling somewhat displeased in his heart, yet he couldn't justify staying any longer.

After he left Niel's side, Niel immediately called for the nanny to bring Luke and Gabe over.

The two children had just learned to speak, their voices adorable as they called out, "Great-Grandpa..." Niel was brimming with joy. "My two great-grandchildren are truly clever. Even though they're so young, they can already call me 'great-grandpa..."

Not far away, Felix stood beside Miranda, his eyes filled with jealousy.noveldrama

That adoration Niel displayed used to belong only to him.

Miranda couldn't help but feel worried. Niel held a significant ten percent stake in Orion Corporation. He used to mention that he would transfer his shares to Felix frequently, but he hadn't brought it up at all recently.

She pinched the palm of her hand.

At that moment, Cecilia and Nathaniel entered with Eli and Jonathan.

Then, they all greeted Niel, who hurriedly invited them to take a seat.

At that moment, Robert entered through the back door, carrying something in his hand.
