After a moment of contemplation, Nathaniel proposed “How about this? Every time I come 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 occurred, she felt the hassle was justified.
“All right.”
Unapologetically, Nathaniel took her hand and led her forward.
Cecilia had come to realize that there were many facets of Nathaniel’s immaturity. Apart from their appearances, he was truly different from Nicholas.
Holding hands, the two of them walked forward.
Behind them, Nicholas 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 Nicholas and Nathaniel choose to side with Cecilia?
“Nicholas, if you had to choose between me and Cecilia, who would you pick?” asked Cassandra.
Nicholas 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 Nicholas‘ 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 Nicholas be fond of Cecilia? Cecilia merely met Nicholas before I did. Had I met Nicholas first, there’s no doubt he would fall for me.
“You’re my wife. Needless to say, I like you,” Nicholas 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 to come back and keep me company tonight.”
After hesitating for a good while, Nicholas nodded in agreement.
“All right.”
Cassandra managed to turn her tears into laughter, cheerfully linking arms with Nicholas as they w 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 Nicholas.
Dante approached and asked, “Felix, where are your parents?”

“My uncle happens to be the boss of Orion Corporation. I’m sure to take first place today.”

Dante, however, didn’t seem bothered by it. “That’s not necessarily the case,” he said. “Jon is accompanied by Mr. Zachary and Aunt Vivian.”
Felix was also aware of Zachary. “Mr. Zachary is nothing compared to Uncle Nicholas. Hmph! Also, your aunt is nowhere near as good as Aunt Cassandra.”
Though he had reconciled with Jonathan, he couldn’t help but compete with Jonathan in secret, each trying to prove who was more formidable.
Upon hearing those words, Dante felt somewhat deflated.
Indeed, Cassandra was a renowned dancer, while Nicholas 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 about competing or winning. Instead, it was an opportunity to get to know the parents of other children, especially those who held power and influence.
“Uncle Nicholas! Aunt Cassandra!”
As he was speaking, Felix had already spotted Nicholas 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 Nicholas 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 playing 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 her company was doing.
