Chapter 422 The Blind Date

The secretary shook her head. “I’m not entirely sure. The photos were taken by someone we sent, but because there were people trailing them from behind, our agent couldn’t get close.”

Ever since Nathaniel discovered the individual dispatched to investigate Cecilia and Jonathan, Elena had become exceedingly cautious. Consequently, the people she sent were now too wary to approach their residence.

Upon examining the photo, Elena realized how much remained undiscovered. “Continue with the investigation. I want to uncover all of Cecilia’s secrets.”

“Got it.”

Meanwhile, Cecilia and Vivian spent several hours playing with Elliot, However, they had to cut their outing short since Elliot couldn’t handle being out all day.

They had agreed to bring Elliot home a few days before the New Year’s celebration.

As they drove away from the hospital, Vivian reassured Cecilia, “Once the baby is born, we can use the umbilical cord blood for Elliot’s surgery. After that, he’ll be just like Jon.”

Cecilia nodded.

She gently rubbed her belly. “I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl this time.”

“It would be wonderful if it’s a girl. You’d have the perfect pair of a son and a daughter. I’m sure Elliot and Jon would be thrilled with a little sister,” Vivian mused.

Cecilia, too, hoped for a daughter but cherished the thought of loving either a son or a daughter. equally.

“By the way, Vivian, what’s your plan?” Cecilia asked unexpectedly.

“What do you mean?”

“Your dad. How are you going to handle him?” Cecilia asked, sensing that her best friend might still be hung up on her first love, Ernest.

Leaning against the chair, Vivian gazed out the window. “I’m not sure. Seeing you with Nathaniel, and spending time with Elliot and Jon, I can’t help but think maybe I should just follow advice and get married.”

my dad’s

“Vivian, don’t marry just for the sake of it,” Cecilia advised.

“Isn’t that just how things work?” Vivian sighed. “Ceci, do you regret getting married?”

Cecilia took a moment to reflect before answering. “I regret marrying Nathaniel, but I have no regrets about having Elliot and Jon. So, I hope you won’t take your marriage lightly.”

“Oh well, I can’t be bothered anymore.” Vivian sighed, shaking her head. “Even marrying the one you love can lead to regrets. Marrying someone we don’t love will probably end the same way. At least I won’t be as heartbroken.”

Cecilia understood that Vivian had made up her mind, and it wasn’t her place to dissuade her any further. Everyone has their own path to follow. I just have to accept this as part of Vivian’s journey in life.

After returning home and sharing a meal, Vivian prepared to leave.

As she said her goodbyes, Vivian gave Cecilia a warm hug. “I hope we both find happiness in our lives.”

“I’m sure we will.” Cecilia patted her shoulder.

Vivian then left reluctantly.

Once she got in the car, Vivian picked up her phone and called Roland. “Dad, I’ve made up my mind. Go ahead and set up that blind date for me.”

Vivian struggled to make sense of her father’s words on the other end of the line. With a vague understanding, she ended the call, rolled down the car window, and let the cold wind wash over her. Yet, it did little to clear her mind. There’s a saying I read online that feels true now–Reality inevitably turns us into the kind of people we despise the most.

Vivian didn’t cry; she just felt numb about the situation she found herself in.

Meanwhile, the heavy snow in Sparaville continued to fall relentlessly.

Cecilia stood on the balcony, watching Vivian’s departing figure, feeling a deep sense of desolation.

Nathaniel had entered quietly at some point, his awareness attuned to the cold wind and Cecilia’s faint breaths.

He made his judgment based on the incoming cold wind and the woman’s faint breaths.

Although he couldn’t see her clearly, his other senses were sharply tuned.

As Cecilia snapped back to reality and turned to face him, she simply said, “I wanted to watch the snowfall.”
