Chapter 1285 Cassina Receives The News
Sven quickly followed up. “However, my feelings for Cecilia aren’t romantic. I can only say that I consider her a friend.”
Upon hearing these words, Nathaniel was somewhat surprised.
“Mr. Rainsworth, you must have had someone look into my background, right? Currently, I just want to lead a normal life and avoid getting involved in conflicts. Rest assured, I’ll only consider Cecilia as a friend.”
“That would be just perfect.”
Upon observing Sven’s expression, Nathaniel realized that the former wasn’t lying.
After all, if two men were to engage in underhanded schemes, it would truly be unbecoming of them.
“The misunderstanding was mine. I look forward to working together in the future.” Nathaniel extended his hand
Sven shook hands with him. This time the hostility that had previously existed between the two was gone.
When Cecelia noticed that Nathaniel hadn’t returned after a while, she went out to check on him. To her surprise, she found him standing with Sven, engaged in a conversation she knew nothing about.
She walked over just as Nathaniel was turning back.
“What were you and Sven discussing just now?” Cecilia asked.
“It’s nothing, just expressing my gratitude for his protection of you and our children,” Nathaniel responded.
Cecilia was somewhat skeptical, but she knew that further questioning would yield nothing. So, she said, “Alright then, I have something to attend to tonight, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. Can you watch Eli?”
“Alright,” Nathaniel agreed readily.
He didn’t press Cecilia about where she was going, as he had already gotten a clue from Elliot.
Cecilia had a brief chat with Lucille and the others before she left.
Sitting in the car, Cecilia dialed Cassina’s number.
The call was quickly answered. “Ms. Smith, what can I do for you?”
Due to the preparations for Cassandra’s wedding previously, the two had exchanged phone numbers.
Ms. Cassina,” Cecilia began, “I’ve found your foster mother. I’m not sure if you’re currently available, but if you are, shall we go see her together?”
At that moment, Cassina was resting at the Jamieson residence when she suddenly heard the news, leaving
her shocked.

“It’s too much to explain over the phone. If you’re willing to come with me to see her, I can pick you up right now.” Cecelia listened to the impassioned words of Cassina over the phone, sensing that she must still care about her mother.
Without uttering another word, Cassina agreed. “Alright, I’ll send you my address. Could you please come and pick me up?”
“Will do.”
“Right, remember not to tell anyone else that you’re going to meet your foster mother.”
Cecilia felt that if Bailey’s incident had nothing to do with Cassina, then it must be related to the Jamieson family. After giving Cassina a reminder, she hung up. Shortly after, she received a message from Cassina. She then instructed Sven to follow the directions given on the GPS.
Meanwhile, Cassina was filled with emotion. Over the past few days, she had been discreetly inquiring about her mother’s whereabouts but to no avail.
Finally, she heard something.
She quickly changed her clothes and hurried out of the room.
When Cassandra saw her hurried demeanor, she asked quizzically, “It’s so late, where are you off to?”
Recalling the words spoken by Cecilia, Cassina didn’t dare to reveal the truth. However, she wasn’t particularly skilled at lying and stumbled over her words, saying, “I’m going out to see a friend.”
“Oh.”
Queenie was seated on the couch and couldn’t help but worry to see her daughter leaving this late at night.
“Cassie, where do you need to go? I’ll arrange a car and bodyguard for you.”
“T–That’s not necessary.” Cassina hastily declined, explaining, “I’m just going to meet a friend and have a meal with them. If they see me coming out with such drama, they’ll surely be scared off.”
“Alright, just be careful,” said Queenie.
“I know.”
Without daring to linger, Cassina quickly left the house.
Cassandra noticed Cassina’s unusual behavior. After the latter left, she returned to the balcony and made a
call.
