Luciano nced at Wesley. With just a look, he understood what Wesley meant.
He agreed.
“Go ahead, then. Daddy wille pick you upter.”
Noah cheered up and held Cecilia’s hand tightly.
Although Cecilia wanted to stay with Bonnie, she couldn’t refuse Noah.
Bonnie also wanted to see Noah happy.
She let Noah lead her away by the hand.
Wesley said a word to Tania and left as well.
ude pondered, “Her true identity has been exposed, so why does Wes still spoil her?”
Logically speaking, Cecilia had taken Prisci’s ce, which showed her character was despicable. It was said she hade from an orphanage.
Why would Wesley still be interested in a woman like that?
And even let her get pregnant?
Juniper gazed longingly at Wesley’s back, biting her lip in thought.
Wes really did like children.

Johan frowned and called out to Juniper, “Let’s go.”
Larissa bit her lip and mustered her courage. “Johan, let me walk you
out.”
Their breakup had been anything but graceful.
But at this moment, she was willing to swallow her pride.
Juniper took Larissa’s arm and nudged her toward Johan. “Johan, Larissa has something to say to you.”
Larissa blushed, her eyes flickering, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Johan bit down on a cigarette. “Today is Grandma’s funeral. Next time.”
The color drained from Larissa’s face.
Johan grabbed Juniper and dragged her away.
Larissa was on the verge of tears. She knew Johan had not forgiven her.
On the way back to Chaston Vi, Noah looked around curiously.
Wesley was very patient, frequently steadying Noah’s little body whenever he was about to fall.
He also reminded him not to bump into Cecilia, because Mommy had a baby in her tummy.
Noah immediately sat still, staring at Cecilia’s belly and announcing very seriously.
“I like little sisters.”
“I want a little sister.”

“Mommy, I want a little sister.”
He wanted a ymate.
Cecilia felt a pang in her heart. She pinched Noah’s little check.. “Noah, why do you want a little sister?”
Noah answered without hesitation, “Noah likes little sisters, and I’ll protect her in the future.”
He didn’t want to be the one always being protected; he wanted to be a little man who could protect everyone.
Wesley couldn’t help but reach out and pat the child’s head.
He found himself not disliking this little rascal as much as before.
Cecilia kissed the child’s cheek. With a child like this, who wouldn’t
love him?
They arrived back at Chaston Vi.
Elijah had instructed the servants early on and even prepared toys and
snacks.
But Noah didn’t like them much.
He sat next to Cecilia on the sofa, trying hard to keep a serious face.
“I’ll protect Mommy.”
Cecilia was both amused and touched.
Wesley seized the opportunity. “Mommy needs to rest now. Noah, will you go nap with Mommy?”
Noah agreed immediately.

“Mommy and little sister both need to rest.”
Cecilia nced at Wesley. She didn’t like how he was deliberately arranging things.
Wesley pretended not to notice and had the servants take Noah to wash up.
As soon as Noah left. Cecilia’s face darkened.
“You know I wanted to stay with Grandma, but you used Noah.”
“I know you’re upset, but you’re too weak to rest, so this was the only way.”
Cecilia turned her face away, her eyes shimmering with tears.
She just wanted to apany Bonnie on her final journey.
But even such a small wish couldn’t be fulfilled.
Wesley felt just as bad. He squatted in front of her and held her cool
hands.
“Ci, Grandma wouldn’t want to see you like this. She did so much for you because she wanted you to live well.”
Cecilia pulled her hands away. She no longer wanted to put on an act in front of Wesley.
“Wesley, there’s no need for us to continue like this.”
“There are plenty of women who want to have your child. If you don’t want this one, I’ll get rid of it. It won’t be your illegitimate child.”
“If you insist, then we’ll stick to our previous agreement: you save Noah, I have the child, and after that, we go our separate ways.”

She was very calm.
So calm that she could treat the child in her belly as a bargaining chip.
Wesley gripped her hands tightly, not allowing her to pull away..
A cold wind seemed to cut through his chest.
She loved Luciano, which was why she loved Noah so much.
She didn’t love him, nor did she want the child in her belly.
The atmosphere in the living room was heavy and stagnant.
All the servants kept their distance.
Wesley stood up, his tall and upright figure cast in the intery of light and shadow, tinged with a sense of loneliness and sorrow.
