If it weren’t for helping Larissa, she wouldn’t have touched Gwendolyn
at all.
But Larissa is now turning the tables.
And she’s doing it with reason and evidence.
At this point, Larissa has no choice but to brazenly deny it.
“Juniper, do you have any evidence?”
“Larissa, it was me, Juniper, who was blind.”
Juniper was pulled away by Johan, ring fiercely at Larissa, “We’re cutting ties.”
She stormed off angrily.
Larissa covered her chest, looking very scared.
Cecilia gave her a cold look, then turned and left.
Whether Juniper framed her or not, the police will investigate and find
out.
And now, as long as Juniper tells the truth, it’s fine.
Juniper was hit hard by this matter, her spirits low.
Miss Johnson couldn’t bear this injustice.
It’s just a pity she can’t go out now.

She clenched her fingers, looking at Cecilia, “Cecilia, now you know, I was instigated by her, tell the police to release me.”
She’s naive.
Cecilia didn’t like Larissa, and she didn’t like Juniper either.
“Right or wrong, the police will sort it out. Without evidence, you’ll take the jail time for her.”
She showed no mercy.
Every hardship Corrine endured, she’d make sure to repay in kind.
Juniper stared in disbelief. “You know it wasn’t me.”
“Should’ve known better than blindly doing her bidding.”
Even dared kidnap a child–serves you right.
Cecilia refused to linger; Gwendolyn needed her.
Panic flickered in Juniper’s eyes as she turned to Johan. “Brother.”
Johan gently touched her hair, didn’t respond.
Juniper clenched her teeth. “Brother, you can’t abandon me. Father won’t be pleased if he finds out.”
Fearing Johan might side with Cecilia, she invoked their father’s authority,
A sharp glint shed in Johan’s eyes, vanishing instantly
“Uncle warned you to stay away from Larissa. Did you listen?”
“I…” Juniper choked on her words.

Cecilia returned to Chaston Vi.
Luciano was there.
Gwendolyn slept in his arms, wrapped in his coat, face still pale from the day’s terror.
Cecilia tiptoed closer. “I’m sorry… I let her get scared.”
She’d promised to keep Gwendolyn safe.
Luciano drew his coat tighter. “This has nothing to do with you.”
Those people were determined to harm the child–no defense could stop them.
Gwendolyn stirred awake, wriggling out from Luciano’s coat before diving into Cecilia’s arms. “Mommy.”
Cecilia held her close, arms locked tight. “I’m here.”
Wesley stood nearby, watching the scene with a pang in his chest.
Every time they gathered, they looked like a perfect family of three.
He felt envy and sorrow.
“Mr. Wilkinson.”
He offered the greeting.
Luciano had risen to his feet. “Thank you for helping find Gwendolyn.”
Wesley reined in his emotions, giving a faint nod. “Stay for dinner.”

He told the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Just as Luciano began to speak, Gwendolyn’s tiny voice piped up.
“Mommy, I want to go home.”
You’re staying there that long?
Cecilia kissed his cheek, “Gwendolyn, isn’t this ce nice?”
Gwendolyn tugged her sleeve, his voice tiny, “I want to be with Dad, I want to go home.”
He’d been dragged to Juniper’s ce today, already terrified, then Juniper told him over and over how Dad didn’t want him.
Now, little Gwendolyn’s heart churned with fear.
He wanted Dad.
Wesley stepped closer, murmuring tenderly, “Isn’t Uncle Wesley good?”
Gwendolyn pressed his lips together, eyes glistening, “I want Dad.”
!
After that horror, he instinctively clung to the one who’d stayed by his side.
Luciano always ached for his son,
“Tomorrow’s the weekend–I’ll take him to my ce for a couple days.”
“Fine.”
Cecilia nodded, turning to Gwendolyn, “Mom will fetch you soon.”
But Gwendolyn shook his head, clutching her clothes, “Mome
too.”

He couldn’t stand Mom and Dad apart.
Cecilia froze, lifting her gaze to Wesley, meeting his frosty stare.
She knew that look.
“But Mom’s swamped, she can’t leave. Be good, Gwendolyn.”
Gwendolyn let out a loud “Waaah!” and threw a rare tantrum.
“I want Mommy and Daddy together.”
“I want to go home.”
He squirmed restlessly.
Wesley’s expression darkened slightly. He lifted the boy from Cecilia’s arms and threw him toward Luciano.
He was worried about his daughter.
Gwendolyn cried himself hoarse, demanding Daddy, then Mommy.
Lucianoforted him for a long while before his sobs quieted slightly.
Cecilia’s heart melted.
“I’ll go pack our things.”
She agreed.
The moment she turned, his hand grabbed her wrist.
She looked up at Wesley.
Wesley tightened his grip, his voice t. “Mr. Wilkinson will stay here.”

Cecilia frowned. “You…”
Luciano nced at Cecilia and epted.
“Alright.”
Cecilia fell silent, though her expression remained troubled. She felt Wesley was being unreasonable.
Gwendolyn was clearly distressed, yet he refused to let go now.
Gwendolyn still insisted on going home. Luciano carried him aside, promising to stay with him these next few days, finally calming him.
