Chapter 50 Living With Vivian

Jonathan’s face turned even redder, similar to a tomato.

He coughed lightly twice, lowering his voice. “Mommy, I’m not a child anymore, and Ms. Kennedy is still here.”

His words had turned the tense atmosphere brought on by Nathaniel earlier to lively again.

It was Vivian’s first time to see the sly kid blush, so she teased him playfully.

“I see someone has gotten a tap to the butt before.”

Jonathan replied, “I have never!”

This version of Jonathan was more akin to a child.

Cecilia watched her son hurriedly explain, her initial anger completely dissipated.

Jonathan and Elliot were her precious gifts bestowed by the heavens, she simply couldn’t bring herself to be angry with them.

Moreover, she had thought it over on her way there.

I can continue to avoid Nathaniel, but what about my sons? Do they have to hide forever too? They’re innocent, so why can’t they go wherever they wish? Why can’t they return to their own home?

Moreover, the unexpected situation that arose that day further solidified her decision on what choice to make.

During mealtime, Vivian suggested having someone escort Jonathan home, but Cecelia refused.

“Vivian, I’ve thought it through. Constantly hiding isn’t exactly the best solution to our problems. I’ve decided to let him stay. Nathaniel has already seen Jonathan and seems to have accepted that he’s your son. So, there’s really nothing to worry about. I’ll speak with Martha shortly and ask her to look after Elliot. Jonathan will stay with me in Tudela. Once we make progress, we’ll return.”

Vivian also agreed with her suggestion.

“Although Martha has a caregiver at her place, it’s still too much for her, an elderly woman, to look after two kids on her own. Having Jonathan stay will also provide you with some company. Don’t worry even if Nathaniel replaces out, you have me and Calvin by your side.”

Jonathan also chimed in, “You have me, too, Mommy. I promise to protect you and Elliot.”

Cecelia and Vivian shared a knowing smile.

“Okay.”

After they had finished their meal, Vivian said, “I’ll take Jonathan with me as I leave. He will stay with me at my place before you get pregnant. Feel free to come to my place whenever you want

to see him.”

That was their only choice at that moment.

Cecilia cautioned Jonathan, “You must listen carefully to Ms. Kennedy and don’t run off on your own, understand?”

Assured that he wouldn’t be sent back, Jonathan nodded.

Even though he couldn’t live with his mom, being in the same city gave him peace of mind.

At Vivian’s private mansion, Jonathan opened his suitcase, which was not only packed with his clothes and toiletries but also held items like his laptop.

Vivian was somewhat curious. How did this little one manage to get such a large suitcase onto the plane?

“Jon, this suitcase must weigh at least ten to twenty pounds, how did you manage to carry it onto the plane? You even brought a laptop with you. Have you started playing games already?”

“It’s a secret.” After saying that, he picked out his own clothes and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

Vivian found Jonathan’s pretense of being aloof and coy rather amusing. She chased after him, asking, “Hey, sly kid, want me to help you wash up?”

Jonathan was rendered speechless at her offer.

His only mistake was choosing to live with Vivian.

Once he reached the bathroom, he quickly stepped on a small stool, locking the door, fearful that Vivian might suddenly barge in.

Vivian chuckled. “Oh, look at you, getting all shy. Trust me, I’ve seen all kinds of men, you’re nothing special to me.”
