Chapter 1335 ying Favorites
After a moment of contemtion, Nathaniel proposed, "How about this? Every time Ie to see you in the future, I''ll first take your left hand. What do you think?" Initially, Cecilia found it somewhat troublesome, but considering what had just urred, she felt the hassle was justified.
"All right."
Unapologetically, Nathaniel took her hand and led her forward.
Cecilia hade to realize that there were many facets of Nathaniel''s immaturity. Apart from their appearances, he was truly different from Nichs.
Holding hands, the two of them walked forward.
Behind them, Nichs wore a gloomy expression, while Cassandra''s face had turned beet red.
She was aware that there had been a misunderstanding earlier, yet she couldn''t help but feel resentful. Why did both Nichs and Nathaniel choose to side with Cecilia?
"Nichs, if you had to choose between me and Cecilia, who would you pick?" asked Cassandra.
Nichs turned to look at her, his eyes consistently gentle as always.
"This kind of question holds no significance whatsoever."
Cassandra''s throat tightened, and she clung tightly to Nichs'' arm. "I need you to answer me. Do you actually like me, or do you like Cecilia?" she asked. I''m clearly no less than Cecilia, so why would Nichs be fond of Cecilia? Cecilia merely met Nichs before I did. Had I met Nichs first, there''s no doubt he would fall for me.
"You''re my wife. Needless to say, I like you," Nichs replied with a smile.
His smile didn''t hold a shred of warmth.
Cassandra, however, fell for it. "Really? In that case, I want you toe back and keep mepany tonight."
After hesitating for a good while, Nichs nodded in agreement.
"All right."
Cassandra managed to turn her tears intoughter, cheerfully linking arms with Nichs as they walked ahead.
Inside the preschool, Felix watched as everyone else''s parents arrived. He didn''t have a hint of disappointment on his face. Instead, he wore an expression of pride.
That was because he knew that the person who would participate in the parent-child activity with him that day was none other than Nichs.
Dante approached and asked, "Felix, where are your parents?"
"My dad is still in the hospital, so my mom asked my uncle toe over," Felix said with a sense of pride. "My
uncle happens to be the boss of Orion Corporation. I''m sure to take first ce today."
Dante, however, didn''t seem bothered by it. "That''s not necessarily the case," he said. "Jon is apanied by Mr. Zachary and Aunt Vivian."
Felix was also aware of Zachary. "Mr. Zachary is nothingpared to Uncle Nichs. Hmph! Also, your aunt is nowhere near as good as Aunt Cassandra." Though he had reconciled with Jonathan, he couldn''t help butpete with Jonathan in secret, each trying to prove who was more formidable. Upon hearing those words, Dante felt somewhat deted.
Indeed, Cassandra was a renowned dancer, while Nichs was the CEO of Orion Corporation.
He had heard from his parents a while ago that their participation in the parent-child activity this time wasn''t aboutpeting or winning. Instead, it was an opportunity to get to know the parents of other children, especially those who held power and influence. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Uncle Nichs! Aunt Cassandra!"
As he was speaking, Felix had already spotted Nichs and Cassandra. With a smug smile, he rose to his feet and headed their way.
The parents who had gone there, one after another, turned their gazes toward Nichs and Cassandra.
Even though Cecilia and Nathaniel arrived first, they were instinctively overlooked by others.
Interestingly, it was Meredith and Helen among the few who greeted Cecilia. "Cecilia, over here."
Meredith had already severed ties with the Turner family and was then single. Her visit that day was merely to catch up with Cecilia and her group of best friends.
Cecilia gave a nod and scanned her surroundings. Upon spotting Jonathan, she instructed Nathaniel to go over.
"Please, we just attended Eli''s parent-child activity a few days ago, and today we''re attending Jon''s. We mustn''t let him feel that we''re ying favorites."
"All right," Nathaniel responded.
After he finished speaking, he walked toward Jonathan.
Cecilia knew that when Nathaniel made a promise, he kept it. Thus, she felt reassured to go find Meredith.
The moment Meredith saw Cecilia, she immediately inquired about how herpany was doing.
