    "Dad, I prepared this soup myself. I learned it from an elderly traditional medicine practitioner. It was time-


    consuming andbor-intensive, but it''s supposed to prolong life," Robert said ingratiatingly.


    Niel''s eyes lit up when he heard that.


    "Really?"


    "Of course. Why would I lie to you? I came back from abroad just to take care of you and ensure you live a long life." Robert replied.


    Compared to Nathaniel''s unreliable father, Robert was particrly good at winning Niel''s favor.


    That was also why Niel always favored Robert''s side of the family.


    "Robert, you''re the most filial one in our family," Niel praised.


    At this point, it was no secret to anyone that aging was inevitable.


    However, Niel refused to ept it. He didn''t want to grow old, let alone die.


    In his quest to maintain his youthful vigor, he had once even undergone a blood transfusion at the hospital.


    "Dad, you''re too kind. I think Nichs and the younger generation are all filial as well." After saying this, Robert cast a meaningful nce at Nathaniel. "Isn''t that right, Nathaniel?"


    Nathaniel remained silent, unwilling to y the game of false ttery.


    Niel understood Nathaniel''s character and didn''t press the matter further. Instead, he invited everyone to


    sit


    down and rest.


    "It has been some time since we are all gathered together. Rx and enjoy yourselves."


    Despite his words, everyone present had their own agendas.


    Niel turned to Cecilia. "Ceci."


    "Grandpa," Cecilia greeted him politely.


    Niel nodded and gestured for her toe over.


    All eyes shifted to them as Niel openly said, "Ceci, you''re now an important figure in the Rainsworth


    family. I heard your health hasn''t been great recently. How are you doing now?"


    "I''m much better," Cecilia replied.


    "That''s good. Once you''ve fully recovered, you need to prioritize the family. As for thepany, Nathaniel can handle it," Niel dered.


    In his eyes, a woman''s ce was at home, supporting her husband and raising children.


    He had only agreed to Nathaniel marrying Cecilia back then because the Smith family was advantageous


    to the Rainsworth family at the time.

    careers, but we can bnce work and family."


    Though her words were tactful, everyone could hear that she was subtly pushing back against Niel''s traditional views.


    Niel''s expression darkened instantly.

    He didn''t respond to Cecilia''sment but instead turned to Elena. "Look at this, you''ve spoiled the children," he said pointedly.


    Far from being the model of a virtuous wife and mother, Elena hurried to exin, "Dad, young people today think differently from our generation. Please don''t worry too much about it."


    Niel''s anger grew. He was about to say more when two little ones interrupted, moring to be held. "Hold me... hold me..."


    The sight of the two adorable children immediately distracted Niel, though he still managed to throw onest remark at Cecilia. "I don''t care about modern thinking. A woman''s primary responsibility is to the family."


    Seeing the opportunity, Lucille chimed in, "Grandpa, I think you''re absolutely right. That''s why I''ve been personally teaching Felix myself."


    Standing there, Cecilia felt lost watching the duo sing the same tune so perfectly.


    Nathaniel strode over and stood by her side. "Our family doesn''t need a babysitter. Ceci can do whatever she wants."


    The room fell silent at his words.


    "We''lle back for the memorialter," Nathaniel added, then led Cecilia outside.


    As Nathaniel took her away, Cecilia felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude.


    Had she stayed there any longer, sured by stares, she truly wouldn''t have known what to do.
