Chapter 831 What Will It Take

Nathaniel let out a stifled grunt, immediately catching her fist as it swung down at him again.

“Cecilia!”

He was clearly agitated, “What will it take for you to agree to a divorce?”

Cecilia couldn’t pull her hand away. Listening to his words, she blurted, “I don’t need anything else. I war only Elliot and Jonathan, and the child in my belly.”

Cecilia clenched her fists. “If you agree, I’ll sign the divorce papers right away!

Upon hearing the response. Nathaniel couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you joking? How could the Rainswort family’s descendants possibly follow you?”

Cecilia found herself infuriated by his words once again.

She bit down on Nathaniel’s hand.

The back of this hand still bore the teeth marks from the day before yesterday.

This time. Cecilia was decidedly more ruthless than the day before, applying force…

With a pained gasp, Nathaniel drew in a sharp breath of cold air, firmly holding her head. “Let go!” he commanded.

Where on earth did this woman learn all this from, harping on me like a dog?

Cecilia only let go when she detected the scent of blood.

“You started this! Why should you get to take away the child I bore?”

If it weren’t for her pregnancy, which made it inconvenient for her to lift her foot, Cecilia would have loved to give him a few solid kicks right then.

The spot on Nathaniel’s hand, where she had bitten him, throbbed with a numb pain.

But he still hadn’t let go of Cecilia’s hand, uncertain if she would lash out again.

So, you’re implying you want to take me to court?” Nathaniel’s voice was cold and detached.

Cecilia finally understood. Nathaniel was nothing but a scoundrel. He had never changed at all.

Amnesia, my foot.

-Sure, if you want to go to court, I’ll accompany you.”

Soll, Cecilia worried. After all, they had two children to consider.

Even if she would win custody, the lawyer had advised that it would be for only one of the children.

She couldn’t afford to lose either Elliot or Jonathan

Chapter 831 What Will It Take

Finished

showed no concern for her children?” The words that slipped from Nathaniel’s thin lips were utterly distasteful.

“Are you saying I cheated?” Cecilia was taken aback. “When did I ever cheat on you?”

“Why were you out all night last night? Do I need to present evidence?” Nathaniel sternly continued, “Since you’re so fond of Nicholas, I’ll let you have him. I just wonder, after our divorce, whether Nicholas will choose to call off his engagement with Cassandra…

Bang!

A tremendous noise echoed from within the house.

A minute later. Cecilia burst out from inside the house

When Mason and Ernest entered again, they found Nathaniel with his head bowed low, blood streaming from a wound.

“Mr. Rainsworth… Mason’s eyes were filled with shock “How did this happen?”

Nathaniel’s face was stern and cold, tinged with a certain pallor. His dark eyes were filled with an icy chill that seemed to cut to the bone.

“Cecilia,” he uttered.

Having separated from Lucille, Mason gloated at his misfortune.

“Mr. Ernest, you better take note. This is domestic violence.”

Ernest looked at Nathaniel’s state, impatiently pulling out his phone to take a photo as evidence. “Should we make a trip to the hospital for an injury assessment

“I think it’s necessary.” Mason nodded. “Mr. Rainsworth, you’re visually impaired, technically disabled. The fact that Cecilia dared to lay a hand on you, even if she’s pregnant, we could take her to court and leave her with nothing”

After speaking, he turned his gaze toward Ernest, “Right, Mr. Ernest?”

Upon hearing this, Ernest slowly said, “The law won’t support divorcing a pregnant woman.”

Nathaniel silently listened to the back–and–forth between the two, forcefully suppressing the anger welling up within him.

“Call the doctor over already.”

“Okay.”

Mason went to call for a doctor.

Leaning against the back of his chair, Nathaniel felt an unusual sense of melancholy..

Cecilia had spent the entire night out, staying with another man. When she returned, she even had the audacity to bite him and argue with him.
