When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1621 I Am A Bit Hungry

In the afternoon, the sky was somewhat overcast. Cecilia and the kids sat atop a small hill, basking in the breeze and relishing the grilled fish. It was a particularly delightful moment. Jonathan had intentionally left a live fish behind for Dante.

"This fish won't last long," he said.

Dante's eyes sparkled with admiration as he looked at Jonathan. "Thank you, Jon. You're too kind."

Cecilia observed the scene with a subtle smile forming at the corners of her mouth.

My son is truly a sweetheart. He'll never be short of friends in the future.

"It's just a fish. It's no big deal," Jonathan said, feeling uncomfortable with the gratitude.

Dante was deeply moved. However, recalling the events that had previously occurred, he felt a certain unease.

"Ms. Cecilia, do you think I was wrong just now?"

The world of a child was uncomplicated.

He had always believed he had done nothing wrong. However, when he reflected on how his father had demanded an apology from him, he began to harbor doubts.

Cecilia pondered for a moment and replied, "You didn't do anything wrong. You were merely defending your own rights. It was Felix who made the first mistake." Dante grew even more confused. "Then why did my daddy ask me to apologize?"

"Because in the adult world, there are no clear-cut distinctions between right and wrong. You'll understand that better when you grow up," Cecilia murmured.

Dante began to grasp the situation. "I understand now. It's because my daddy is afraid of Felix's mommy. Both he and my mommy would always tell me to stay on Felix's good side. That way, our family business would thrive, and we could make more money." A wave of sorrow washed over Cecilia.

She couldn't believe such a young child was forced to bear these burdens.

She wasn't sure how to console Dante, so she gently stroked his head.

Dante raised his head to look at her, his eyes filled with resolve.

"Ms. Cecilia, I've made up my mind. I will work hard, and when I grow up, I will surpass Felix. Then, it will be him who bows down to me!" Cecilia was taken aback by his words.

She was about to speak when Yulissa approached. "Dante, it's time for dinner."

Dante dusted off his pants and stood up. He glanced at the fish Jonathan had given him, bent down to pick it up, and tossed it onto the stone slab, killing it instantly

"I don't want these things! I want money! I want power!" he muttered under his breath and left with Yulissa.

Yulissa didn't catch what he said. However, Cecilia and Jonathan, being closer, heard him loud and clear.

As Dante walked ahead, Yulissa turned around and said to Cecilia, "Thank you."

Cecilia gazed at the silhouette of the mother and child, her mind wandering in thought.

At such a young age, Dante was already making statements like that. She wondered what he would become in the future.

It seemed that today's events had dealt a significant blow to him.noveldrama

"That brat has really grown up," said

Jonathan "But his eagerness to achieve quick success could easily land him in trouble in the future."

When Cecilia heard her own son's words, she grew even more melancholy.

"Jon, you really do know a lot."

"It's all thanks to your great teachings," Jonathan said, his expression as innocent and unassuming as ever. Cecilia was stunned. The Jonathan who had just spoken was completely different from the Jonathan now.

Jonathan noticed Cecilia staring at

him and worried she might discover something. He quickly said,

"Mommy, let's go have dinner I'm a bit hungry."

"Okay."

Cecilia didn't dwell on it any further.

After all, at such a young age, what children say may not always reflect what they're truly thinking.

Elliot often picked up melodramatic phrases from the TV dramas he watched.
