Chapter 1132 Consider Resigning

 Indeed, Darren was genuinely worried, fearing Nathaniel would have more sons.

 “No. Should I bring them back?“.

 Darren paced in front of Nathaniel.

 Seeing him in such a state, Nathaniel didn’t try to dissuade him. Instead, he simplyid out the pros and cons for him, saying. “If you’re not worried about Madeline doing something foolish, then go ahead.”

 Upon hearing those words, Darren could only give up on the idea.

 He thought it would be best to wait until Madeline had finished her postpartum care before seeking her out for a leisurely chat.

 “Don’t do that. Madeline dislikes you so much. If you tell Ceci about your rtionship with Madeline, and. she finds outter, she will definitely me Ceci.” Nathaniel was not about to let Cecilia’s kindness go unrewarded. “Besides, don’t you trust her? Regardless of whether she knows Madeline is your wife, she will always treat Madeline well”

 Cecilia always thought tit for tat was fair y, never causing trouble unless provoked. However, she was always incumbent when it came to someone in need.

 “You’ve been tired for a whole day and night now. It’s time you got some rest,” Nathaniel firmly suggested.

 “All right.”

 Upon learning of Madeline and the child’s disappearance, Darren hadn’t slept all night, searching everywhere. At that moment, seeing Madeline and Amelia safe, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.

 Over at the Smith residence, Madeline was a bit curious about Cecilia’s identity. Apart from bodyguards, there were only women and children in her home.

 Madeline felt somewhat apologetic. “I’m sorry. It’s just that I-”

 “It’s nothing,” Cecilia interrupted her, “Do you have any other questions?”

 Seeing how kind Cecilia was to her, Madeline felt bad for questioning Cecilia’s identity. She quickly shook her head and said, “No. Thank you.

 Without so much as a nce, Cecilia dered, “I’ve said it before. It has to be five hundred million, not a penny less.”

 Adrian hadn’t expected Cecilia to be so stubborn.

 “Even if Nathaniel were still here now, he wouldn’t just casually hand you five hundred million. How about I give you some jewelry? All those pieces added up could be worth quite a bit.”

 He truly couldn’t divert funds at that time. On one hand, he was afraid that Miranda would find our, and on the other hand, he was also fearful of getting caught

 Cecilia turned and walked away.

 “Wait. I’ll give you the money. Just give me a little more time.”

 Cecilia swiftly made her exit.
