When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1911 Innermost Thoughts

Cecilia nodded heavily, watching as the mother and daughter departed.

Elena then approached Cecilia. "Ceci, hurry and see what gift your aunt has given you."

Only then did Cecilia remember the gift, nodding in agreement.

"All right."

She arrived at the three gift boxes.

Phoebe stated that the items within the three gift boxes were quite similar. What she implied was that they were of equal value, without any bias or distinction as to who they belonged to.

One of the gift boxes, measuring half a meter square, was opened to reveal its contents. Upon inspection, Cecilia discovered it contained a beautifully crafted piece of fine porcelain.

Cecilia wasn't familiar with porcelain pieces, but she could still discern that the fine porcelain had some years behind it. The craftsmanship was exquisite, clearly indicating it was an antique.

She opened the rest to have a look, finding they were all similar antique porcelain.

"Her family is in the antique business. They've been rather generous toward you," Elena couldn't help but say when she saw the three porcelain pieces.

"These must be quite valuable, right?" asked Cecilia.

She wasn't very knowledgeable about the value of antiques.

However, she remembered when Regas came across an antique that was believed to be from the early medieval period. That porcelain antique had a starting bid of tens of millions.

Elena didn't fully understand, but at a glance, she could tell that those items were of significant value.

"Yes. It won't be less than ten million at the very least."

"So much?" Cecilia felt a pang of regret for accepting such a lavish gift.

Elena also noticed her apprehension and patted her shoulder. “Don't stress too much. These few antiques, altogether, really aren't a big deal to their family."

She paused for a moment, intending to add that the combined worth of those items meant little to the Jamieson and Rainsworth families.

However, upon reflection, she realized that it wasn't right to say it like that, so she held her tongue.

Cecilia gave a nod.

Just then, Nathaniel approached and asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"

Elena's expression changed immediately when Wren was mentioned. However, she made sure not to reveal too much in front of the couple.

"I'm not sure where he's off to now, but don't worry about him. He's always been a wanderer."

Nathaniel and Cecilia shared a glance and decided not to bring up Wren again.

After all, it wasn't appropriate for the younger generation to meddle in their parents' marriages.

Elena once again had both Cecilia and Nathaniel stay over for the night.

The timing was perfect because Cecilia wanted to spend time with the two little ones, so she agreed.

That night, with the two little ones around, it was particularly lively.

After hesitating for quite some time, Elena quietly asked Cecilia, "Ceci, if I were to divorce your dad, could you me allow me to continue helping to raise the two children?"

จา

Elena had always been a housewife. Before she had children, she would either hang out with other wives, go shopping, play cards, or engage in wellness activities. Otherwise, She would just be alone, which was incredibly dull.

However, at that moment, every time she was accompanied by her two little grandsons, she felt as if she had regained much of her youth.

Upon hearing those words, Cecilia uttered unhesitatingly, "Mom, if you could help

me take care of the two kids, I would be more than grateful."

Recently, Cecilia had been spending all her time with Queenie, fearing the latter might suddenly leave. She simply couldn't manage to take care of several children on her own.

"That's a relief." Elena finally felt at ease.

Afterward, she shared her innermost thoughts with Cecilia.

"Ceci, did you and Nathaniel find it hard to comprehend when I suddenly wanted a divorce?"

Cecilia nodded. She was aware that Wren rarely came home, but it seemed like Elena had never cared about that before. Why has she suddenly changed?

Elena managed a bitter smile. "Donoveldrama

you remember the night Nathaniel's

grandpa passed away? When his uncle berated me, I realized I was a woman! I used to see myself as a man, believing I could make something of myself without relying on your dad. That night, frealized I'm not a man or part of the Rainsworth family."
