When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 820 Are You Staying Here

Lucille was startled by the car behind her. When she turned around, she saw Mason getting out of the vehicle.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

Mason looked confused. “Lucy, are you staying here?”

Lucille nodded. “Yes, why?”

“How did you manage to rent this place?”

“How I rented it is none of your business.” Lucille didn’t want to tell him that she already knew Cecilia.

Just as she was about to go inside, Mason grabbed her hand.

“Lucille, this is the Smith residence. It definitely wouldn’t be rented out. Did someone trick you?”

Mason thought it was possible that some shady individuals had somehow gotten the security codes and deceived Lucille into renting the place.

Hearing this, Lucille no longer hid the truth. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t tricked. Ceci rented it to me.”

Сесі?

Mason was even more shocked.

“Are you talking about Cecilia Smith?”

“Yes.” Lucille nodded.

Mason hadn’t yet figured out that Cecilia was behind Lucille discovering his dinner with Jessica. He assumed it was just a coincidence that Lucille had seen them on the street.

“How did you come to know her?”

“That’s none of your concern. We’re friends now,” Lucille replied.

Mason couldn’t believe it. In just a few days, his fiancée had become friends with his boss‘ wife.

If it were anyone else, they would probably think this was great.

However, Mason didn’t think so because the relationship between his boss and Cecilia was too complicated.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Lucy, Cecilia is a good person, but given our status, we shouldn’t interact with her too much.”

“And what’s wrong with our status?” Lucille now disagreed with him even more. “I never thought you had such outdated beliefs. You work for Nathaniel, you’re not his slave. We’re equals now.”

“That’s not what I meant, Lucy.”

Mason was at a loss for words.

Lucille ignored him. She walked quickly into the house and shut the door behind her.

“Leave me alone. Stop bothering me.”

Seeing her walking into the house, Mason went back to his car, feeling frustrated.

While in the car, he couldn’t shake a thought that had crossed his mind. While it was impossible for Lucille to seek out Cecilia, it would have been easy for Cecilia to find Lucille.

Did Cecilia say something to Lucille?

Frowning, Mason drove to Daltonia Villa.

Cecilia had just returned, having bought several outfits for Elliot. She had him try them on and took photos to show Jonathan.

“Jon, look. What do you think?”

The clothes Cecilia had bought were all of the cute variety.

Elliot was thrilled, but Jonathan clearly didn’t share his enthusiasm.

“Mommy, it’s fine as long as you like them,” Jonathan replied.

“Jon, how about we wear these Mickey Mouse outfits together? We’ll be twins!” Elliot grinned.

Jonathan looked at the Mickey Mouse outfit, complete with its signature red shorts and white shoes on the front. He felt like his world was falling apart.

He hesitated for a long time before finally nodding in agreement under the hopeful gaze of both his mother and Elliot.

“Okay.”

“Then, this weekend, Ms. Kennedy will bring you over, and we’ll all go for an outing,” Cecilia said.

“Sure.”

If it weren’t for the chance to see Cecilia, there was no way he would have agreed to wear something embarrassing.

Cecilia was about to continue chatting with Jonathan when the housekeeper came over to deliver a message. “Mrs. Rainsworth, Mr. Sanders is here. He says he has something to discuss with you.”

So

Before Cecilia could respond, Jessica, who had been sitting next to her enjoying fruit like she owned the place, immediately stood up.

“Cecilia, I’ll go see what Mason wants.”

Without waiting for Cecilia’s approval, she quickly rushed out.

Thinking of Lucille, Cecilia followed her. She should keep an eye on Mason.
