Chapter 1431 Something To Discuss


    Jonathan was seated in front of herputer, search online for something while cutting him off, "They''re barely a year old, what could they possibly know?"


    After hearing this, all Elliot could do was to close the door again.


    "Sigh, I just couldn''t stand their ingratiating behavior."


    After he finished speaking, he moved to stand beside Jonathan, joining him in watching the screen.


    On it was the surveince footage from somewhere in the world.


    Over the course of that year, due to theck of any leads on their mother, Jonathan had no choice but to scour surveince footage from various locations. Whenever the two children had spare time, they would watch the roadside cameras, hoping to catch a glimpse of their mother. "Did you find anything?"


    "No..." Jonathan felt a bit disheartened, then switched to another region.


    The two kids were stationed in front of the screen, scrutinizing everything.


    Outside, Queenie was having a good time ying with her two grandchildren.


    Seeing her daughter being neglected, Cassandra also carried her daughter down.


    "Mom, it''s been a while since youst saw Dahlia."


    Due to what happened with Cecilia, Queenie was not particr fond of Cassandra anymore.


    However, she didn''t want to show favoritism, so she took Dahlia in her arms.


    "Dahlia," Queenie called out, "I also bought you a gift."


    Dahlia was only a few months old, so apart from some clothes, it wasn''t really feasible to buy her anything else.


    Cassandra looked at her daughter''s clothes, then at the gifts Queenie had given to Cecilia''s four children. Surprisingly, there was even a private jet among them.


    She couldn''t help but feel a pang of jealousy in her heart.


    "Mom, you''ve always favored girls since we were kids, why are you being biased. You gifted Jon and Eli private jets, but all you gave Dahlia was a few pieces of clothing?" Queenie slightly furrowed her brows. "That''s because Dahlia is still young. When she grows up, I''ll also give her a ne."


    She felt that Cassandra was someone who would never be satisfied. After all, she had already handed over some of the Jamieson family''spanies to her. Surprisingly, Cassandra was even jealous over such trivial matters.


    "You must keep your word," she insisted.


    Queenie nodded, shifting the topic. "Where''s Nichs?"


    The mention of Nichs caused a noticeable change in Cassandra''s expression. "He''s on a business trip," she said.


    "Another business trip?" Queenie


    sighed, "It''s the holiday season. Why


    thee home to spen è with you and Dahlia


    Upon hearing her son being discussed, Elena immediately interjected, "Once Nichsnovelbin

    With Elena''s words, Queenie found it difficult to say further.


    "}


    At that moment, in a residential area abroad, Cecilia sat by the dining table, patiently waiting for Nichs. Finally, the doorbell rang and she immediately got up to answer it.


    "Nichs."


    When she opened the door, she saw Nichs standing at the entrance.


    It was raining outside, and he waspletely drenched from head to toe.


    "Why didn''t you use an umbre? I''ll grab a towel for you..." Cecilia was about to turn around to fetch a towel.


    Nichs didn''t reply. Instead, he lifted his hand, pulled her into his embrace and said, "It''s okay. Let me hold you for a bit."


    Suddenly embraced by him, Cecilia felt a strange sense of difort.


    However, considering how he had been bustling about for her sake, it didn''t feel right to reject him.


    Nichs held her for quite some time before he slowly let go. "I''m sorry, did I startle you? It just felt like


    it''s been ages since west met, so 1.


    Cecilia forced a smile.


    CUMS


    "It''s okay. Go change into a clean set of clothes first, then we''ll have something to eat."


    Nichs readily agreed, "Alright."


    Cecilia returned to the dining table, waiting for Nichs. She was somewhat anxious about the matter she needed to discuss with him.


    Finally, after Nichs changed into a fresh set of home clothes and descended the stairs, he sat across from Cecilia.


    Unable to contain herself, Cecilia blurted out, "Nichs, there''s something I need to discuss with you."
