Hearing Dylan’s words, Cassina grew even more anxious. She couldn’t afford to stay longer. “Why are you being so disobedient? When I tell you to leave, you leave!” she scolded, trying to mask her fear that staying any longer might lead. Cecilia to uncover the truth. 

In the end. Cassina had to forcibly carry Dylan out, tears streaming down his face as he reluctantly waved goodbye to Elliot. 

Cecilia watched from the doorway, her gaze thoughtful as she observed the mother and child disappear into the distance. 

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Elliot asked, noticing his mother standing by the door, lost in thought. 

He thought she didn’t like Cassina and Dylan, so he quickly added, “If you don’t like them, I won’t play wi 

Cecilia shook her head and smiled softly. “No need. If Dylan comes by tomorrow, I want you to keep playing with him.” 

Elliot looked confused. “Why?” 

Cecilia crouched down, meeting her son’s eyes. “Could you do it as a favor for me? 

Elliot’s expression softened. He’d do anything for his mother. 

“Sure, Mommy. If it helps you, I don’t mind spending time with him.” 

Cecilia chuckled, touched by his willingness. “Thank you, but don’t force yourself. If you don’t want to hang out with him, you don’t have to.” 

Elliot shook his head. “Actually, I liked playing with him. He makes me feel like an older sibling.”

“The Jamieson family holds a lot of power in Drocver,” Nathaniel agreed. “And Queenie… she’s known for being unpredictable. She catches people off guard with her decisions. Many men have fallen victim to her boldness.” 

“So that’s how it is.” Cecilia sighed, a sense of melancholy washing over her.

Nathaniel saw her worry and leaned closer, his tone firm. “Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten what the Jamieson family did. I won’t let them off easily.” 

Cecilia knew Nathaniel meant what he said, but a part of her couldn’t shake the anxiety. She changed the subject, wanting to ease the tension. “So, how much longer do you plan on keeping up this act!” 

“What’s wrong?” 

“Nothing much. I just felt like asking.” Cecilia replied. 

A playful smile tugged at Nathaniel’s lips. “Just a few more days,” he said, gazing at her with an intensity that made her heart
