Chapter 261 Finally Reunited

+5 Pearls

Nathaniel didn’t go to the airport. Instead, he returned to Spring Forest Manor and had someone retrieve the toothbrush Elliot had used to take it to the hospital for testing.

Meanwhile, Vivian and Jonathan had already boarded the plane, unaware that someone was following them. As she looked out at the vast white landscape, Vivian felt a sense of relief.

“Finally, we can live in peace,” she sighed.

Jonathan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. Vivian, thinking he might be feeling reluctant to leave like a child leaving kindergarten, comforted him. “Don’t worry, I’ll bring Dante to visit you in the future.”

Jonathan snapped out of his thoughts and replied, “Okay.”

Vivian wanted to say more, but Jonathan had already picked up the newspaper lying on the plane. The headlines were still all about Stella. Given that the world now viewed Stella as Nathaniel’s girlfriend, the buzz wasn’t expected to die down anytime soon.

After glancing at the news a few times, Jonathan lost interest. He covered his small face with the newspaper and took a brief nap. Vivian looked at the little boy beside her, feeling that he was unusually mature, nothing like a child at all.

No wonder, during all those days in Tudela, he never once mentioned wanting to replace his father or talked about going home. Even now, he’s still calm and composed.

They had about seven or eight hours left before reaching Moontown, where Cecilia was currently staying. Vivian also decided to get some sleep.

Eight hours later, due to the time difference, it was already night when they arrived in Moontown.

Cecilia had been waiting there for some time. When she saw two figures, one big and one small, approaching, she quickly trotted over.

“Jonathan, Vivian!” She hugged her son tightly.

Jonathan’s face turned rosy as he was embraced. “Mommy.”

“Let’s go home first,” Cecilia said, leading them away.

Back at home, Martha and the nanny were busy preparing dinner, with Elliot helping on the side. “Grandma Martha, you forgot to add salt again,” Elliot reminded her.

Martha smacked her forehead. “Oh dear, my memory is getting worse.”

Elliot smiled. “When I grow up, I’ll cook for you, Grandma Martha.”

“My little Eli is such a good boy,” Martha said, clearly touched,

The housekeeper approached Martha. “Mdm. Martha, your health isntu rest. If you don’t, Ceci will scold me again when she comes back.”

Martha sighed but eventually agreed and took Elliot to the living room to rest. While they waited she became engrossed in the local news.

The news anchor was fervently reporting, “After the scandal involving the famous singer Stella broke out, Rainsworth Group’s stocks took a significant hit. So far, there’s been no word from Nathaniel, the CEO of Rainsworth Group.”

Martha clenched her hand tightly. “Serves you right!”

The sound of the door opening echoed through the room, and Martha quickly turned off the television. She got up to greet the three visitors.

Vivian hadn’t seen Elliot much, as he had been hospitalized for a long time. Seeing the two children together, with their identical faces, the surprise was evident in her eyes.

“God truly is amazing–two little sweethearts! Come, let me hold you.”

Even though Elliot enjoyed being pampered, he wasn’t fond of being held by anyone other than his mother. He flashed a mischievous smile.

“Dear Ms. Kennedy, my brother and I are grown now. Boys and girls shouldn’t be too close.”

The term “Dear Ms. Kennedy” made Vivian’s heart swell with joy. If it weren’t for the fear of aggravating Elliot’s condition, she would have rushed over and hugged him.

“You’re such a good boy. Jon, you should learn from your little brother–he’s so adorable,” she said.

Jonathan, seeing Vivian lost in her daydreams, silently turned away and went to see Martha.

After dinner, they all went to rest. That night, Cecilia and Vivian shared a bed.

“Are you planning to stay here for long?” Vivian asked.

“For now, yes,” Cecilia replied after a pause. “Martha is getting older and has various health issues. I don’t want her moving around with me anymore.”

Besides, Martha didn’t understand foreign languages. When they were abroad, apart from the housekeeper, she had no one to talk to. Over the years, having her by her side, Cecilia felt she owed her too much.

“But what if Nathaniel comes looking for you?” Vivian asked.

“I don’t know,” Cecilia sighed.
