Chapter 358 Go Fishing
Jonathan was intentionally giving Nathaniel a hard time by suggesting Nathaniel would use his body heat to melt the ice and catch fishes.
Martha could see what was happening and was about to refuse, but to her surprise, Nathaniel solemnly said, “Mhm. I will go fishing tonight.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but feel surprised. Why does he suddenly want to go fishing?
Martha didn’t believe him because the ice on the river was at least thirty centimeters thick in the middle of the winter. There’s no way he can catch a fish in this condition. Does he feel nothing boasting like this?
Later on, the facts proved that there were very few things in the world that money couldn’t aplish.
At around ten in the night, someone delivered a fresh catch of fish, specifically the one from the small river that Martha was particrly fond of.
Nathaniel handed those exceptionally fresh fish over to Cecilia.
Immediately upon receiving them, Cecilia prepared a stew with them.
She nned to keep a portion of the remaining fish for herself and give the rest to her neighbors.
Cecilia wasn’t curious about how Nathaniel acquired the fish. There were plenty of people willing to lend a hand for a price.
However, Martha refused to drink the fish stew. “He caught the fish?”
“urately speaking, it was his money,” said Cecilia.
Martha shook her head. “I don’t want to owe him.”
Cecilia set the bowl aside and embraced her. “You’re overthinking it. He’s living in your house. every day. There’s nothing wrong with him preparing some fish for you.”
Cecilia knew that Martha was worried that she might get emotional over trivial matters again and felt as if she owed Nathaniel a debt.
After Cecilia’s heartfelt persuasion, Martha finally agreed to enjoy the stew.
“As expected of the fishes from our river here. It doesn’t stink.” At that moment, Martha felt a sense of happiness she had never experienced before.
Once upon a time, she never imagined that in herter years, she would have thepany of a daughter and grandchild.
After drinking half a bowl of the fish stew, Martha went to sleep.

Cecilia stared at Martha’s increasingly frail figure, gently holding her hand..
In truth, she didn’t dare wonder what she would do and where she would go if Martha were to leave her.

People often said that home was where your mother was. Cecilia’s: Martha was no longer around, Cecilia wondered if she would still have a home.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
Jonathan cautiously stood at the doorway. “Mommy.”
Cecilia ced Martha’s hand inside the nket, then walked out and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I’m going to stay at Ms. Kennedy’s ce tomorrow. She asked me to invite you as well so we can attend Ernest’s wedding together the day after tomorrow.”
To be honest, Vivian was terrified of attending her ex’s wedding alone. However, a deep–seated sense of unwillingness within herpelled her to go.
She thought perhaps only after witnessing Ernest with another woman could she finally move on.
“I almost forgot about that. All right, I’ll drive and go with you tomorrow,” said Cecilia.
“Mhm,” replied Jonathan.
The following day, before departing, Cecilia meticulously instructed the caregiver and housekeeper, urging them to take good care of Martha. She stressed that they should call her immediately if anything happened.
After she informed Nathaniel she would be heading to Tud, she departed with Jonathan.
No sooner had they left than Nathaniel ordered his chauffeur to drive him to Tud.
Eventually, Sunday arrived.
Vivian, adorned in a formal dress, was elegantly and beautifully dressed.
Jonathan had also slipped into a small suit, emerging from the dressing room.
“Wow, you’re so handsome.” Vivian looked at Jonathan, her eyes shining brightly. “Jon, let me pinch your cheek.”
Jonathan wore a look of disdain. “Ms. Kennedy, can’t you act a little more mature?”
Cecilia smiled as she watched the two interact. “All right, it’s time for us to set off.”
Left with no choice, Vivian withdrew her hand.
Then, the three of them headed to Four Seasons Hotel together.
