NovelEnglishChapter 262 Are You Really Pregnant
“Don’t worry,” Cecilia said, “he never lovedto begin with. He won't keep looking for me. Give it stime,
and he'll eventually give up.”
She believed Nathaniel was only seeking her out because he didn’t like losing, not because of genuine feelings.
Cecilia had left him a significant sum of money to settle everything between them.

Vivian stared at the ceiling, deep in thought, before asking, “So, are you planning on finding a father for Jon and
Eli?”
Cecilia was momentarily taken aback. Over the years, her focus had been solely on raising her two children. The
thought of remarrying hadn't crossed her mind.
She shook her head. “I'm financially stable now and can take good care of them. | don’t want to find a stepfather
for them-it might not be good for them.”
“Be
“Besides...” Cecilia placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

Vivian's eyes widened. “Really? Are you pregnant?
Cecilia gave a slight nod. “Yes. | had just arrived here when | went to the hospital for a check-up. They told|
was already a month along.”
With a touch of curiosity, Vivian placed her hand on Cecilia’s abdomen. “That's great. In nine more months, Eli
will be able to undergo surgery.”
“Actually, it’s eight months,” Cecilia corrected her. She had once explained to Vivian that pregnancy typically
lasts nine months, not ten as commonly believed.
“Oh, | see,” Vivian said, withdrawing her hand. She then filled Cecilia in on the happenings back home. “Did you
catch the news? Stella's reputation has taken a serious hit this time. And as for Nathaniel, a lot of people online
are saying he’s being cheated on.”
Cecilia had anticipated this outcbut hadn’t expected Nathaniel to ignore public opinion entirely. “Didn't the
Rainsworth family always have a way of suppressing public opinion?” she asked.
Vivian shook her head. “I'm not sure. All | know is that my dad toldRainsworth Group has now hired a CEO,
with Nathaniel managing things from behind the scenes.”
“Enough about him. Let's get ssleep,” Cecilia suggested.
“All right,” Vivian agreed.
After planning to rest here for a few days, Vivian intended to return to Vivian. She had initially cback to
Tudela for two reasons-to help Cecilia and to resolve things with her first love, Ernest her father that she could
live a good life without marrying into the Sinclair family.
Over at Daltonia Villa, upon learning of Cecilia's whereabouts, Nathaniel immediately arranged a flight abroad
without a word.
Mason knocked on the door.
“Cin,” Nathaniel called out, not bothering to change his clothes.
When Mason entered the room, he was greeted by a scene of disarray-empty liquor bottles scattered
everywhere. It was far from what one would call a home.
He couldn’t help but express his concern. “Mr. Rainsworth, there have been sissues at the company
recently. Maybe you should go check it out?”
Although Nathaniel had hired exceptional people, without him at the helm, many of the Rainsworth family’s
elders were difficult to control, making the company hard to manage.

But Nathaniel wasn’t in the mood. “I'm busy.”
Mason was taken aback again. When had Mr. Rainsworth ever let work slide?
Considering how Nathaniel had previously chided him for meddling, Mason didn’t feel it was his place to offer
advice.
Just then, there was another knock at the door.
Mason went to check and found a somewhat familiar man standing outside. “You are?” he asked.
“I'm Norman Jenkins, the lawyer commissioned by Ms. Cecilia Smith. We met a few years ago.”
The moment Mason heard the name, he immediately recalled the divorce settlement Cecilia had arranged for
Nathaniel.
Before he could react, Norman had already walked in. Seeing Nathaniel’s current state, he was initially taken
aback, but then he pulled out the documents from his briefcase.
“Mr. Rainsworth, Cecilia has askedto have you sign a document on her behalf.”
Upon hearing that he had con behalf of Cecilia, Nathaniel’s gaze locked onto him. “What document?”
Norman stepped forward, handed him the papers, and succinctly explained. “My client entrustedwith a
substantial sum of money, stating it was to repay the betrothal gift from before your marriage. She hopes that «
once you accept this money, all past matters will be considered settled.”
