Chapter 372 Take It Easy
Jonathan was taken aback.
Clearly, he hadn’t figured out how to answer this question.
Nathaniel’s lips parted slightly. “I won’t hurt her, but words alone may not be enough. You’re wee to keep an eye on me at all times.”
Upon hearing his words, Jonathan was surprised. But without hesitation, he responded, “All right, it’s a deal. I’ll make sure to keep a close eye on you.”
After their discussion, Jonathan closed his eyes, intending to sleep.
However, he had started sleeping alone when he was just two or three years old. Now, having a grown man lying beside him was truly out of hisfort zone.
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, yet he couldn’t just leave like that.
What if Nathaniel took advantage of his absence to go find Cecilia?
The night was difficult to endure, but by the break of dawn, he was up again and escorted to the preschool by Sven.
Meanwhile, Magnus fled back to Tud overnight, his heart filled with lingering fear.
He was somewhat perplexed. It was Nathaniel who had instructed him to seek out Cecilia, so how. did they end up living together?
Recalling the lethal gaze in Nathaniel’s eyes from yesterday, he felt a sense of fear.
He didn’t dare to ask Orion Corporation for money anymore and returned home disheartened.
In the mansion, Pa informed Cassandra that they had already received news about Cecille.
“I heard she’s about to return soon. We’ll be able to see her in no time.”
Cassandra reached out and embraced her. “Mom, you’re the best.”
“Of course.”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Upon seeing Magnus‘ disheveled state, Pa couldn’t help but express her concern. “Where have you been messing around this time? You didn’te back all night?”
Naturally, Magnus wouldn’t tell the truth.
“I went out for a drink.”
Cassandra, standing off to the side, was growing increasingly irritated. “Magnus, don’t parade around using the Evans family’s name to deceive people. If my father finds out, you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”
Magnus had been scared by Nathaniel the previous night, and now Cassandra’s intimidation further enraged him.
“Cassandra, who do you think you are to criticize me? Don’t forget, without me, Magnus, your father would be nothing but a man relying on women!”
Pa pped him across the face. “Is that how you speak to your sister? Go back to your room.”
Magnus looked at Pa in disbelief before reluctantly leaving.
Even though he was Pa’s son, he couldn’t fathom why his mother showed such tant favoritism toward Cassandra. After all, Cassandra was merely the daughter of Ralph’s ex–wife. Yet, ever since they arrived at the Evans residence, his mother’s bias was painfully clear.
Seeing Magnus get pped, Cassandra scoffed, “Mom, I only let him stay because of you. If he continues to be ungrateful, he can get out of my house.”
The words “my house” made Pa feel a little upset but she did not show it.
“Cassandra, don’t be angry.”
Cassandra rose to her feet, her face filled with pride as she returned to her room.
Cassandra’s arrogant demeanor only fueled Magnus‘ frustration further. “Mom, why are you so nice to Cassandra? She’s not even your real daughter.”
“What do you know? Just go back to your room.” Pa didn’t want to engage in further conversation with him.
Reluctantly, Magnus returned to his room.
That afternoon, Charlotte arrived in Tud. She promptly sent a message to Cecilia, notifying her that she was ready to meet with clients at any time.
Cecilia informed her to schedule a meeting with a client for the next day.
“Sure,” Charlotte agreed instantly.
Seeing her still busy with work despite being pregnant, Martha couldn’t help but feel concerned.
“Take it easy. Don’t exhaust yourself.”
Cecilia sat next to Martha, shaking her head. “Don’t worry, I’m not tired. Lottie is going to a meeting. I’m just going to sit in and listen.”
After what happenedst night, she needed to rest well, considering the child in her womb.
“Okay.”
Martha nodded, feeling a touch of worry. Calvin had often reached out to her previously, but since hisst departure, there had been no news from him at all.
