Vivian sobbed. “Jon, you're the best.”
She handed him her bag without hesitation.
Elliot also approached. “Vivian, I'll hold your bottle for you.”
“You're such sweet babies!”
Cecilia looked at her two sons and was proud to see them care for girls at such a tender age.
She then looked at Nathaniel, the spitting image of the two children, and took note of his cold, reluctant expression. We're on a hiking trip and he should be enjoying himself. Why is he so different from his sons?
“Ceci, come here,” Vivian called out, already having wandered off into the distance. “These flowers are so beautiful. Let's take a picture.”
“All right, I'll be right over.”
“Slow down and watch out,” reminded Eric.
Cecilia nodded. “I know, don't worry.”
Redbud Hill wasn't tall, and their journey was quite smooth.
Even though she was pregnant, she had no issues walking this path.
Eric was about to catch up to her when suddenly, his phone rang. Picking it up, he was surprised to find that it was his manager calling.
“The boss has caught you in the act!” the manager cried out.
At that moment, Eric was still unaware that the boss his manager was referring to was none other than Nathaniel.
“How could that be? I haven't even made a public appearance.” He walked aside to answer his phone.
“Why didn't you answer your phone last night? The boss mentioned that you should hurry back to Alendor, or else you'll face consequences. He's going to sue you!”
“Sue me for what? Slacking off or skipping work?” Eric was unconcerned.
“He's planning to sue you for neglecting your duties and hindering the company's progress. Do you have any idea how much momentum Imminence Corporation has right now? You don't want to be the first one cast aside, do you?” The manager's voice trembled with frustration.
“All right, I'll return tomorrow,” he said.
“No, you must come back immediately, or we're done for. You may not care, but I care about my job.”
Hearing all this, Eric glanced over at Cecilia, who was not too far away.
“Eli, are you feeling unwell?”
Elliot shook his head. “No.”
He was particularly happy and felt great.
Jonathan reached into his backpack, handing him some snacks. “Here. Have something to eat first.”
“All right, thank you.”
The bodyguards descended the mountain after they finished setting up the tents.
Mason specifically prepared a barbecue, inviting Sven to join them.
Zachary and Nathaniel sat aside, drinking.
The scenery was breathtaking, and the atmosphere serene—until a single voice abruptly shattered the peace.
“Nathaniel, Cecilia, here you are!”
