Chapter 248 Everything In Place

Jonathan hadn't attended kindergarten for two days, and Zachary was also at home, juggling work while keeping

him company.

Outside, Vivian was making a scene, and Zachary initially didn’t want to pay her any attention.

It was not until he heard from others that she planned to see Wren that he let her in, agreeing to a paternity test.

Vivian enveloped Jonathan in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably. “My sweet boy, you must have been frightened,

right?”

Jonathan had to admit, despite Vivian's shortcomings, her acting skills were commendable.

He patted Vivian's shoulder. “Mommy, don’t cry. Be good now.”

Zachary looked at the pair, and no matter what, he simply couldn't believe that the child before him wasn’t his

son.

The paternity test would require at least four to five days. During these few days, Jonathan had to stay here with

him.

“Zachary, you better keep your word, or else I'll get your father to stand up for me,” Vivian warned. She now

knew that even Zachary had someone he feared-George.

Fortunately, George was quite fond of her.

Meanwhile, Zachary was growing impatient. “I get it. You can leave now.”

After a final embrace with Jonathan, Vivian made sure he hadn't been mistreated by Zachary before she took her

leave.

After she left, she immediately informed Cecilia.

Upon receiving the news, Cecilia felt relieved.

Now, all that was left was to leave the next day.

What she didn’t realize was that Nathaniel was currently arranging for the purchase of the Smith residence from

Stella. He also had people reconstructing the headquarters of Smith Corporation.

Once everything was finished, he planned to surprise her.

Nathaniel had even contemplated starting a family again with Cecilia, yearning for a peaceful life.

One was simply planning for the future, while the other was planning to leave.

Inside the bedroom, Cecilia had packed a simple bag that contained the dolls that Elliot and Jonathan adored.

The gift that Nathaniel had bought for her was left untouched. She hadn't unwrapped it and had no intention to

take it with her.

She called her assistant overseas. “How much money is there in the company account now?”

“Eight billion.”

That's a lot...

Cecilia was somewhat taken aback.

“Transfer all the money into this account.”

She planned to return all the money to Nathaniel. Her first intention was to leave him speechless, and secondly,

she wanted to repay him for the favor he had done her this time.

Consider it as payment for his sperm.

Cecilia once again entrusted all her money to Norman.

Norman was utterly shocked. “Ceci, where did you get so much money?”

“I ran a business and require your assistance for the transfer now.” Cecilia paused before continuing, “This time,

however, I'd like you to draft an agreement. The general idea is to return the betrothal gift Nathaniel once gave

to the Smith family. From then on, we owe each other nothing.”

“Would Nathaniel agree to sign it?”

“Whether he signs or not, that’s his business. In any case, | don’t owe him anything anymore.”

Norman noticed that the way Cecilia spoke about Nathaniel now was completely different from before, devoid of

any emotions.

“Alright. Ill get it done. When should | hand it over to him?”

After giving it sthought, Cecilia said, “Let's say in about two weeks.”

She was determined to take Jonathan with her as well.

“Alright.”

Meanwhile, at Elite Club, Nathaniel was seated at the head of the table with Darren by his side.

Darren handed him the property sale contract. “If I'm not mistaken, this is the Smith residence, isn't it?”

It was a contract for the Smith residence. Mason had brought it over in advance, and Darren happened to see it.

“Is there a problem?” Nathaniel retorted with a question.

“Have you been too busy to hang out with us lately because of Cecilia?” Darren asked, looking at him with a

probing gaze.

It was the first the had noticed that Nathaniel was so invested in someone.

Nathaniel couldn’t help but chuckle. “What kind of joke is this?”

“Here's something amusing, Zachary has a son now,” Darren said, a peculiar smile tugging at the corners of his

mouth.

Nathaniel couldn’t help but express his surprise. “A son?”

“Yeah, | heard he’s already four and attending kindergarten. You might have even seen him at the party your

family hosted last time.” Darren said.

Nathaniel didn’t show much curiosity. It was well-known that Zachary was a playboy. philandering wherever he

went. It wouldn’t be surprising if he had a child out there.

He glanced at the time, realizing it was almost time. Consequently, he stood up.

“I have smatters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first.”

Darren casually crossed his left leg over his right, suggesting, “How about we go visit his son in a couple of

days?”

Nathaniel didn’t respond to the question.

He hadn’t gone far when his cell phone rang.

Upon checking it, a text message from an unknown number popped up.

“I'll be back soon,” he said. “There are certain matters we really need to discuss.” &
