Chapter 204 His Curiosity

Meanwhile, at Daltonia Villa.

As the sunlight shone on her face, Cecilia opened her eyes to replace that Nathaniel had already. returned to bed.

She looked

1. up. her gaze meeting Nathaniel’s handsome face.

Just as she was starting to gather her thoughts, Nathaniel pulled her back into his embrace.

“Good morning.”

Nathaniel’s planted a kiss on her forehead.

Cecilia was momentarily taken aback..

It seemed like he didn’t remember what he said.

She immediately dodged..

Nathaniel’s deep phoenix eyes slightly opened, filled with confusion. He abruptly grasped Cecilia’s chin and kissed her.

This time, it was nothing like before. It was domineering and rough.

Cecilia held him back, wanting to escape. However, she could never quite get away.

Just as Nathaniel was about to make his next move, he was interrupted by the sharp ring of the telephone.

He furrowed his brows.

What is it this time?

He reached out to grab Cecilia’s phone and saw that it was a call from Vivian.

Handing the phone to Cecilia with a hint of annoyance, he said, “It’s your friend.”

Without uttering a word, Cecilia picked up the phone and got out of bed. She only answered the call once she was on the balcony.

“What is it. Vivian?”

Vivian was unaware that Cecilia and Nathaniel were in the same room as she immediately informed her about the day’s events.

“Don’t you think Zachary is out of his mind?”

After hearing her out, Cecilia also found it very strange.

After some thought, she asked, “Vivian, could the child he mentioned be Jon?”

There were no other children around Vivian except for Jonathan.

Finished

“That little one?” Vivian was taken aback. “That’s right. I forgot to tell you. The last time I went to pick up Jon from kindergarten, I happened to catch Zachary trying to take him. Good thing I got there in time…”

Vivian felt a wave of fear wash over her.

Cecilia was also in a state of disbelief.

Why was Zachary always picking on Jonathan? Could it really be because Jonathan accidentally bumped into him at Niel’s birthday banquet?

She knew Zachary held grudges, but she didn’t think he’d go so far as to target a child.

“Vivian, do you think Jon is hiding something from us?”

Cecilia had always placed her trust in Jonathan, for he was like an old soul.

Jonathan generally wouldn’t lie, unless he was afraid of her getting hurt.

“What could a four–year–old possibly hide?” At that moment, Vivian’s mind went blank. “Don’t overthink it,” she said. “I don’t want Zachary’s money, and as for the child, forget about it.”

“Right.” Cecilia paused for a moment, then asked her, “And what about your dad?”

“Drag it out, he surely can’t tie me up and take me to the Sinclairs, right?” Vivian was puzzled. “I wonder what caught Old Mr. Sinclair’s eye about me, I’ve never even met him.”

Roland was not like Paula. Cecilia knew that deep down, he still cared about Vivian and wouldn’t force her into anything.

She simply wondered how things would turn out for Zachary,

While chatting with Vivian, Cecilia kept her attention on Nathaniel’s movements inside the room through the floor–to–ceiling window. The man was lazily staring at her, noticing that she had. been on the phone for a while, he was about to get up.

After instructing Vivian to keep a closer eye on Jonathan in the following days, Cecilia promptly ended the call.

Nathaniel, clad in a black robe, approached Cecilia.

“What were you two talking about? The conversation went on for quite a while, and it ended the moment I arrived?”

When he was speaking, he reached out to grab Cecilia’s cell phone.

Cecilia hurriedly tucked her phone behind her.

“Everyone has secrets, don’t they?”

Finished

It was this very action that made Nathaniel even more curious about what was in her phone that he wasn’t allowed to see

Cecilia noticed his gaze, then added. “I told her that you left me yesterday to meet with Stella. Is that enough for you?”
