    It wasn’t just Vivian’s private residence under investigation, arge group of people were also scrutinizing Hillscester.


    Fortunately, Jonathan was taken by Zachary, because back at Vivian’s vi, all the servants were secretly being taken away for questioning one by one.


    Nathaniel’s profound gaze was fixed on Cecilia. “How many more days?”


    Cecilia paused for a moment, then quickly understood what he meant.


    “Ten days.”


    To be precise, excluding today, she would be leaving in three days.


    “I’ve arranged for tickets to Tidgate, we’re leaving tonight,” Nathaniel stated.


    Surprise filled Cecilia’s eyes. “Now? Then when will we return?”


    She had assumed that Nathaniel had already given up on the idea of being a real married couple.


    “The day after tomorrow.”


    Nathaniel had dug out the travel ns Cecilia made in the past. She had nned for them to take in the exotic night view in Tidgate, then the next day, visit the ces that her favoriteic artist had depicted in his works.


    “All right.”


    Returning the day after tomorrow, just in time.


    “I’ll go pack up.”


    “No need, they have everything over there.”


    “Okay.”


    Cecilia had originally intended to give Calvin a heads–up, but it seemed like it would have to wait. until they were in Tidgate.


    Half an hourter, they boarded a private jet.


    Cecilia sat next to Nathaniel, gazing out the window at the flickering lights..


    The flightsted over three hours. Perhaps due to her pregnancy, she found herself drifting off to sleep, sumbing to her fatigue.


    Nathaniel had consumed copious amounts of alcohol the previous night, resulting in a restless sleep. Consequently, he hadn’t been able to rest at all that day.


    He observed Cecilia in deep slumber, his gaze lingering on her serene face.

    Nathaniel quickly averted his gaze, picked up the nket and draped it over Cecilia. Subsequently, he and Mason retired to another cabin to rest.


    “Is everything ready at the hotel?” Nathaniel asked, his voice heavy.


    “Everything is set.”


    Mason couldn’t help but add, “Mr. Rainsworth, ten days from now, if Ms. Smith still wants to leave, will you really agree to it?”


    Nathaniel arched his brows.


    “Of course, it’s not like I can’t live without her.”


    “So, what’s going on with you now…


    “Just like her, I’m not willing to ept it,” Nathaniel paused, “And I want to see what she’s really after, how long she can keep up the act.”


    Mason noted that even at this point, his boss still wouldn’t admit to falling for Cecilia.


    Anyone with discerning eyes could see it at a nce…


    If he didn’t have feelings for her, then why would he suggest they be a real married couple? Wasn’t it just an excuse to win over Cecilia?


    Mason didn’t want to expose him, so he simply said, “Mr. Rainsworth, Ms. Smith herself isn’t worthy of you. You really don’t need to waste your energy on her.”


    “You talk too much,” Nathaniel said, his face turning cold.


    “I’m sorry.” Mason quickly apologized.


    Three hourster, the ne touched down.


    When Cecilia awoke, she still felt somewhat dazed. Lately, it seemed like no matter how much she slept, she never felt fully rested.


    She disembarked the ne with Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel had asked everyone following them to leave, leaving just the two of them strolling through the streets of Tidgate.

    When Cecilia pushed open the door, the room was filled with fresh flowers and piled high with gift boxes.


    Before arriving, Nathaniel had already taken an allergy prevention pill.


    “What is this for?” Cecilia turned to look at Nathaniel, seeking an exnation.


    “Gifts,” Nathaniel replied tersely.


    Cecilia casually picked up a gift box and opened it. Inside was a custom ne from a brand she used to adore.


    She realized btedly. “Did you sneak a peek at my old diary?”


    “I thought it was just a note, so I took a nce.” Nathaniel evaded her


    Cecilia was increasingly unable to understand him gaze.


    She put the items back. “I don’t need these, you should return them all.”


    If one were to im that all the gifts in this room were the ones listed on her so–called sticky notes, their worth could probably rival that of several vis.
