Chapter 78 An Invitation

“When Mom and Dad were talking, they mentioned that Ms. Ross got together with Uncle Nathaniel because she had saved Grandma Elena in the past. I even saw Uncle Nathaniel pushing Ms. Ross away,” Felix whispered.

Jonathan had only intended to learn about the Rainsworth family from Felix. Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a secret about his father.

However, the authenticity still needed to be investigated.

“This is just your one–sided claim.”

Though Felix didn’t fully grasp the meaning, he could sense that Jonathan still didn’t trust him.

“This weekend is my great–grandpa’s birthday. Ms. Ross will be coming over, and I will be going with my parents. If you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself.”

Jonathan’s chance came without any effort.

“All right, if you’re right, I’ll trust you. But you have to ensure that I will live comfortably,” Jonathan agreed without hesitation.

Regardless of the situation, he wouldn’t end up at a disadvantage.

During his visit to Rainsworth Manor this time, he also intended to teach Stella a lesson.

Stealing his father was one thing, but daring to plagiarize his mother’s artwork?

D*mn it!

On the weekend, Cecilia got up early to take a private car to Vivian’s home.

On the way, she stared out at the pouring rain, lost in thought.

The driver spoke to her in sporadic bursts. “Ms. Smith, Mr. Reese also enjoys gazing out the window during car rides, just like you. He often mentioned a little girl who found solace in watching the rain outside, believing it could carry away her sorrows. That little girl was you.”

Cecilia couldn’t help but smile.

“That must have been something I said when I was very young. I’ve forgotten about it myself.”

The driver said again, “It is truly fate that Mr. Reese is able to meet with you once again.”

Cecilia also found fate to be quite fascinating.

Finally, they reached Vivian’s mansion.

“Ceci, come on in. Jon and I have been waiting for you to join us for dinner.” Vivian and Jonathan were both looking at her with anticipation.

“All right.”

It had been a few days since Cecilia last saw Jonathan. She couldn’t help embracing him and gently rubbing his cheeks.

“How have things been at school lately?”

Jonathan’s cheeks flushed a subtle shade of pink as he replied, “Everything’s great.”

Vivian chimed in, “Jonathan mentioned that he’s quite popular among the young girls these days. He’s even outshining the other boys.”

Inheriting Cecilia’s and Nathaniel’s good genes, Jonathan grew up to be particularly charming and intelligent.

Vivian believed that when he grew up, he would certainly become a troublemaker for the ladies.

“Mommy, I’ve been obedient,” Jonathan continued.

Unable to resist, Cecilia gently caressed his cheek and planted a kiss on his forehead. “That’s great,” she said.

Jonathan’s face turned red in an instant.

It took quite a while before he remembered what he wanted to say.

“By the way, Mommy, I’m going to a friend’s house tomorrow.”

Of course, he didn’t tell Cecilia that the friend he was referring to was Felix.

“You’ve made friends so quickly, that’s great. Cecilia was genuinely happy. “You should rest early today.”

“Okay.”

After the meal, Jonathan went to sleep.

Cecilia and Vivian were having a conversation when the latter placed two invitations in front of

the former.

“What is this?” Cecilia couldn’t help but express her confusion.

“Tomorrow, Old Mr. Rainsworth is celebrating his eightieth birthday. All the prominent figures of Tudela will be there.” Vivian lowered her voice as she continued, “You know how my father has
