Chapter 48 Free Of Desires

Vivian replied, “You're not a brat at all, you're a sly one.”

Jonathan patted her shoulder. “Since we're here, let's make the best of it. | promise to apologize to mom when

we get there.”

Vivian was on the verge of tears, yet none came.

She felt as if she had been outwitted by a child, and the crucial issue was that she couldn't send him back home

alone at this point.

Although she considered that he might be able to handle flying back alone, it wasn’t a feasible option at the

moment.

“Stay put. I'll give Ceci a call. Otherwise, she and Martha will start worrying about you.”

“Don’t worry, | left a note for Grandma, informing her that I'm with you,” Jonathan replied.

Vivian was speechless. This little trickster.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed Cecilia’s number.

Meanwhile, Cecilia held a cup of warm water as she sat on the balcony, answering the phone call.

“Vivian.”

Vivian glanced somewhat guiltily at the little boy beside her. “Ceci, | had originally planned to surprise you,

but...”

Cecilia asked in confusion, “What's wrong?”

“I returned to Tudela, I'm at the airport now, and... Jonathan cwith me.”

Cecilia's heart skipped a beat.

Vivian handed her phone to Jonathan, allowing him to explain himself.

“Mommy, don’t blMs. Kennedy. | was the one who secretly bought the plane ticket and followed her back.

I'm worried about you being alone in Tudela.”

Secretly bought plane tickets?

Cecilia had always known that Jonathan was clever, but she never expected that the young boy would dare to

venture to the airport.

“Jonathan! Have you forgotten what Mommy told you?”

Jonathan didn’t respond, instead, he countered, “But Mommy, | missed you and | was worried about you.”

A lump formed in Cecilia's throat, suddenly leaving her unable to respond.

Vivian was also taken aback by what the child had said. She bent down to pick up her phone to diffuse the

situation. “Don’t worry, Ceci,” she reassured, “I've thought this through. I'll have Jonathan stay withfor now. |

won't let Nathaniel find out about Jonathan.”

At this point, this was the only way.

Before they ended the call, they agreed to meet at a restaurant.

Vivian let out a sigh, looking helplessly at Jonathan. “Let's go,” she said.

They made their way toward the airport exit.

The chauffeur from the Kennedy family had been waiting outside with the car for a while.

After getting into the car, they headed toward downtown.

Jonathan was constantly gazing out of the car window, asking questions about this and that.

Vivian patiently explained, “That's the downtown plaza of Tudela, owned by the Rainsworth family. That

commercial street used to belong to the Smith family, but then it was bought out by Nathaniel. I didn’t expect it

to be doing so well now...”

Halfway through her explanation, she snapped back to reality. “I must be out of my mind, discussing such

matters with a child like you. You wouldn't understand anyway.”

Vivian pointed considerately a large building. “Just so you know, it’s filled with toy stores.”

Unexpectedly, Jonathan turned and gave her a serious look. “Ms. Kennedy, by September this year, | will be

turning four. I'm not a three-year-old toddler anymore.”

Vivian was taken aback.

Once again, she was left speechless.
