When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 660 Is That True

Elena approached Velma. “A few days ago, I was out handling some business. When I returned, I heard that you wanted Eli to kneel and apologize to Felix. Is that true?”

The aura she exuded made Velma take a step back.

Elena sneered, “I showed you two some respect because you’re in–laws, and yet you. think you can walk all over me? Do you think you’re worthy enough to make my grandson kneel? You must be joking. So what if Eli caused Felix harm?”

Miranda, Adrian, and the Leighton couple were at a loss for words.

Originally, Elliot disliked Elena. However, witnessing the scenes unfold before him, he was astonished. It seems Grandma Elena is genuinely speaking up for me.

Elena didn’t stop there. “I heard your company’s been struggling recently. Are you planning to borrow money or goods from Nicholas?”

Derek and Velma avoided Elena’s gaze.

Elena continued, “I can assure you, it’s not going to happen. The company is single–handedly built by my two sons. Why should we cover your losses? If you’re capable, go find your own sons or sons–in–law.”

In the end, Derek and Velma didn’t even have their meal before Elena sent them packing.

Niel merely cautioned Elena to not be so hot–tempered and said nothing else.

Adrian and Miranda also left dejectedly with their son.

During dinner, Elena had someone continuously prepare delicious dishes for Elliot.

She also told Elliot, “In the future, if there’s anything you crave, just come back home. I will personally make it for you.”

Elliot’s attitude toward her had slightly improved, but only just a bit. “No need. Mommy will make it for me.”

Upon hearing those words, Elena appeared disappointed.

Cecilia also noticed that his son seemed to harbor a dislike toward Elena.

After dinner, Elena pulled Cecilia aside and asked, “Have you been preventing Eli and Jon from getting close to me in private? I’m the children’s grandmother. Do you think this is right?”

Cecilia had never done such a thing before, and she had never mentioned the children’s grandmother to them. “I never did such a thing. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Nathaniel.”

“Nathaniel’s practically stuck to you right now. He will definitely stand up for you.”

Cecilia was somewhat at a loss for words but still managed to say, “I can tell you genuinely care for Eli and Jon. Don’t worry, I’ll have a proper talk with the children. They’re probably just not used to the situation yet.”

Upon hearing that, Elena finally let it go and showed concern for Cecilia’s condition. “I was a bit agitated earlier. You’re pregnant, so don’t take my words to heart. As a mother, I naturally hope for the best for all of you.”

It had been a long time since Elena referred to herself as Cecilia’s mother.

Cecilia understood Elena was considering the fact that she was pregnant.

“I won’t take it to heart,” said Cecilia. Because I simply don’t care.

Cecilia understood that her mother–in–law was just that, a mother–in–law. There was no blood relation between them, so she didn’t care whether Elena treated her well or not.

As long as Elena treated her descendants well, that was all that mattered.

After returning to Daltonia Villa, Cecilia was in Elliot’s room, asking, “Eli, can you tell me if you like or dislike Grandma Elena?”

Upon hearing his mother’s inquiry, Elliot thought she was upset he had been talking to Elena, so he immediately shook his head in response. “I don’t like her, only Grandma Martha.”

“Why?” Cecilia couldn’t comprehend his answer. He has only recently met Elena and always likes people who treat him well, so why does he dislike Elena?

Elliot fell silent, unsure of how to explain without arousing his mother’s suspicion.

He could sense that his mother didn’t like Elena, but he couldn’t voice that out.

Cecilia appeared to understand Elliot’s concerns and began to speak. “Eli, adult matters don’t concern children. You’re not only my son but also Grandma Elena’s grandson. You must never hurt her feelings, understand?”

Elliot understood what Cecilia meant and nodded emphatically. “Mm.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After their conversation, Cecilia left Elliot’s room, ready to retire for the night, when she bumped into Nathaniel, who was standing at the doorway.
