“Mommy, did you forget something?”
Cecilia snapped back to reality. “What?”
“You forgot to kiss me.” Elliot gestured toward his own face.
Cecilia immediately planted a kiss on his cheek.
“Feeling better now?”
“Mm!”
The tCecilia spent with Elliot brought her a warmth she had never experienced before.
All the grievances she had suffered these past few days had dissipated into thin air.
As their ttogether slipped away, the afternoon approached. Cecilia gave Elliot various reminders and advice.
Unlike his tabroad, he was particularly understanding today, not throwing a tantrum and forbidding her from
leaving.
When the tcfor Cecilia to return to Tudela, Elliot had put up a fuss, refusing to let her leave. He only
relented after much coaxing.

During the ride back, Cecilia’s heartache was palpable. She fixated on the rearview mirror, only averting her
gaze when the manor had vanished from sight.
Nathaniel sat beside her, initially intending to talk about her birthday, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.
“What would you like to eat later?”
“Anything is fine.”
Cecilia didn’t have much of an appetite.
“All right.”
Nathaniel had the driver drive them to the private restaurant he often frequented.
Throughout the meal, Cecilia hardly ate anything.
Nathaniel had no idea how to celebrate someone’s birthday.

At that moment. Cecilia retrieved her phone and discovered a flurry of missed calls from Calvin and Vivian. Her
phone had been on silent, leaving her unaware of their attempts to reach her.
Worried that the two of them might be anxious, Cecilia first returned a call to Vivian.
“Finally, you answered your phone. What happened yesterday? Why did you leave? Are you okay
now?”
“Something cup last night, so | had to leave early. My phone was on silent, so | didn’t hear any calls.”
Vivian let out a sigh of relief. “I'm glad you're all right.”
“Mm.”
After chatting with Vivian for a while, Cecilia called Calvin.
She informed him about the events that had transpired that day.
Calvin replied, “Tellwhere Eli is. I'll have someone bring him out.”
“The security there is pretty tight. It’s not easy to get him out. Also, I'm not pregnant yet. If | take Eli away now,
I'm afraid Nathaniel will beceven more cautious.”
“All right, once you've succeeded, we'll figure out a way to get Eli out of there.”

Calvin wasn’t sure how long he could stay here.
He had returned under the pretense of managing a domestic project. Once the project was completed, it would
be tfor him to leave again.
“Okay.”
Cecilia hung up the phone.
She stood on the balcony, taking a deep breath before preparing to wash up and rest.
When she turned around, she saw Nathaniel looking at her with a gaze that seemed to hold profound meaning.
She quickly put away her phone, uncertain if he had heard what she had said.
“Is there something you need?”
Nathaniel had caught only the word “Okay,” missing whatever she had said before that.
He walked in. “Were you on the phone with Calvin?”
Cecilia didn’t deny it.
“Yeah.”
“Do you know why Calvin cback this time?” Nathaniel suddenly asked.
Cecilia looked at him in confusion. “Why?”
“He’s treading on thin ice right now. If | were to terminate all his projects, do you think he'd still be alive if he
returned?”
