Mason approached Cecilia. “Mrs. Rainsworth, I apologize, Last night. Mr. Rainsworth asked me to buy some flowers. These flowers were all purchased by my subordinate.”

Before Cecilia could speak, Laucille, standing nearby, widened his eyes in surprise,

“Did you do this on purpose? Were you settling a score under the guise of doing your job?”

When Mason faced Lucille, his voice softened. “Lucy, that’s nonsense. I’m working here.”

“You’re working? Is this how you do your job? Who are you trying to upset by sending such flowers?” Lucille was

just wondering how the boss of a big corporation could send such flowers to his own wife.

Only now did she find out that it was her own foolish fiancé who had bought them.

It didn’t help that he would frequently boast about being Nathaniel’s right–hand man and chief personal

assistant.

“It was quite late last night and I was too tired, so I just had my subordinate prepare the flowers. I didn’t expect they end up preparing these.”

“Are you trying to pin this on someone else?” Lucille immediately retorted.

“Lucy, you are my girlfriend.”

Mason felt helpless. His girlfriend, who had only known Cecilia for a few days, was already showing signs of disloyalty.

Initially, Cecilia was quite angry, but upon watching the antics of the two, her anger had long since dissipated.

“Since it was a misunderstanding, let’s just forget it.”

Mason sighed in relief. “I’ll have them get rid of all the lowers right away.”

“Hold on. It’d be a waste to throw them away.” Cecilia suggested, “Have someone pluck the petals from these flowers. Indry them out and we can use them for a bath tonight.”

“Alright” Mason readily agreed.

Upon noticing that Cecilia was no longer angry, Lucille felt relieved. “Cecilia, I have to go to work now,” she said. “How about we take a bath together tonight?”

Cecilia nodded, “Sure.”

Upon hearing the suggestion, Mason couldn’t help but conjure the image of Lucille taking a bath in his

mind

I must somehow get Lucy to move back in.

Subsequently, all the flowers had been collected and carefully arranged.

Only then was Mason able to return to Seabay Villa to port on the situation. On his way back he

“Mrs. Rainsworth visited Paula the day before yesterday. We learned from the caregiver that Paula informed Mrs. Rainsworth that she was not her biological daughter, but rather, she had been adopted from an orphanage.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Upon hearing the news, Mason was utterly stunned.

For all these years, no one had ever questioned Cecilia’s identity as the prominent young lady of the Smith family.

He urged the driver to speed up and as soon as they arrived back at Seabay Villa, he immediately informed Nathaniel.

With this, everything made sense.

It explained why Cecilia suddenly ventured alone to the western suburbs, only to faint thereafter.

“Mrs. Rainsworth seems to be conducting a paternity test currently. In a few days, we should be able to determine the truth.”

In truth, even Mason knew that Paula had absolutely no affection for Cecilia, except for when it benefited her.

In the past, she kept coercing Cecilia into not divorcing She then even forced the latter to marry an old

man.

Even when Cecilia risked her life, it was futile.

The fact that Paula wasn’t Cecilia’s biological mother now made sense.

“Look into Paula’s past, as well as the orphanage where she adopted Cecilia,” Nathaniel instructed solemnly. “See if you can find any information about Cecilia’s identity.”

He told himself that his concern wasn’t because he cared for Cecilia, but rather he didn’t want the identity of the child’s mother to be unclear.

“Understood.”

Mason then asked, “Would you like to go and see Mrs. Rainsworth? Such a significant event must surely be a great blow to her.

Putting himself in Cecilia’s shoes, Mason reckoned that if his biological child, he too would have found it hard to accept.

After hearing this, Nathaniel touched his forehead, which was still wrapped in a bandage–a masterpiece courtesy of Cecilia:
