Chapter 819 Follow Her

“Maple Street,” the driver responded.

Maple Street. Nathaniel remembered it as a place with little to no traffic or people. He instructed the driver, “Follow her.”

“Yes.”

A few years ago, this area had been taken over by Orion Corporation and was now a commercial street, much different from how it used to be.

After Cecilia got out of the car, she thought she might as well stroll around since she had nothing to do. The season was changing, and it would be a good time to buy some new clothes for Elliot and Jonathan.

As she walked along the roadside, she noticed many people glancing her way. At first, she thought it was because of the scar on her face.

However, as time went by, she realized that the car following her from a distance was drawing attention.

The car was quite long–about seven or eight meters–and the small golden figurine on the hood caught many people’s eyes.

Cecilia had assumed that Nathaniel had left in anger after their argument. She hadn’t expected him to be following her all this time.

She stopped and walked toward the vehicle.

The driver panicked. “Mr. Rainsworth, Mrs. Rainsworth is coming over.”

Nathaniel was surprised as well.

In the next moment, there was a knock on the car window.

The considerate driver lowered the window. Cecilia looked inside at Nathaniel. “What are you trying to do now? I’m telling you, I’m pregnant, and my emotions are all over the place. If you want to argue, you better come out here.”

Nathaniel fell silent.

He had only been concerned for her safety as she was walking alone on the street, but this woman didn’t appreciate it at all.

However, considering she was pregnant, he decided not to argue with her.

“Get in the car. I’ll take you back to Daltonia Villa.”

It was the typical carrot after stick. He’d dragged her into the car, insulted her, and now he pretended to be concerned about taking her home.

Cecilia wasn’t fooled by his act. “No need. I can catch a cab back myself.”

After saying that, she turned and walked toward a nearby store.

“What is she doing in the store?” Nathaniel asked.

“She’s probably buying something?”

+5 Pearls

The subordinate thought, Why else would a woman go to a store? Mr. Rainsworth’s question is quite funny.

“Can she get a cab here?” Nathaniel asked again.

“Of course she can. We can book cabs on our phones nowadays. It’s really convenient. Don’t you know that, Mr. Rainsworth?”

Realizing his slip–up, the subordinate immediately covered his mouth.

Nathaniel had always been chauffeured around. How would he know about booking cabs?

“Let’s go back to Seabay Villa.”

“Yes.”

As the car drove away, Nathaniel absentmindedly rubbed the spot where Cecilia had bitten him, feeling an odd sensation.

By the time they returned to Seabay Villa, Mason finally realized that Nathaniel had gone out.

“Mr. Rainsworth, where did you go?”

Mason’s thoughts were already with Lucille.

Nathaniel didn’t answer him. “Haven’t you handled your business yet?”

Mason, who didn’t have many friends, had told Nathaniel how Lucille had left in anger after an argument with Jessica.

His favorable impression of Jessica was long gone.

Nathaniel was a reasonable man. “I’ll give you three days off. Handle it properly.”

“Thanks, Mr. Rainsworth.”

Mason had always thought Nathaniel was heartless. He hadn’t expected Nathaniel to grant him time off voluntarily.

Mason wasted no time, heading straight for Lucille’s office and waiting outside for her to finish work.

Once she clocked out, he quietly followed her in his car

When they arrived at her current residence, Mason was utterly shocked.

It’s the Smith residence, the very place he had helped transfer ownership to Cecilia. Why is Lucille living here? Did

Mrs. Rainsworth rent it out?

The place was massive. Technically, Lucille couldn’t afford to live there.

Mason didn’t have time to think it through. As Lucille was about to enter, he quickly drove up beside her.
