Chapter 631 The Boys Like Him Too

“Should I ask him for his account?” Cecilia joked.

“Yeah, you do that. If only he were willing to join our livestream. I’m thinking of changing the name of this account to ‘Jon’s Pretty Friend.’”

She’d named the account “Jon’s Mommy” to conceal Cecilia’s identity. That was no longer necessary. Cecilia had already revealed her face, and now it was Vivian’s turn. Jonathan approved. After all, the account was for Vivian’s amusement.

“Sven would never agree,” Cecilia said, knowing it without asking.

“Fine,” Vivian replied, sounding disappointed. Then, she asked, “Ceci, you’re not upset we secretly set up an account, are you?”

“Not at all,” Cecilia replied. “But as internet broadcasters, you need to prioritize your safety. Be cautious about revealing too much personal information.” Cecilia was committed to supporting her daughter and friend, understanding they were forging their own paths.

Vivian nodded. “Don’t worry.”

After the call, Cecilia wondered how Elliot was doing. When Nathaniel entered, she asked, “Does Eli’s school have a parents’ group chat?”

“I’ll ask Mason.”

“All right.”

Nathaniel called, and soon Cecilia was added to the group. Elliot’s class lacked a dedicated chat, but the teacher frequently updated Cecilia on his progress. Elliot, she learned, was remarkably popular.

The teacher wrote: Don’t worry. Elliot instantly befriended all the girls in our class.

All the girls? Cecilia worried: What about the boys?

The teacher replied: The boys also like him.

Relieved, Cecilia reviewed the surveillance footage the teacher shared, finally understanding. She noticed one boy’s face flushed red while interacting with Elliot.

His warm breath grazed her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. “The teacher said he’s doing well. I checked the surveillance footage; he seems quite popular.”

Though Jonathan and Elliot were twins, they were vastly different. Elliot possessed a natural charm, captivating both boys and girls. Jonathan, however, with his serious demeanor and arrogant attitude, had alienated many boys.

“That’s good,” Nathaniel said, sitting beside her.

“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” Cecilia asked.

“I don’t need to be at work today.”

Silence fell. Feeling uneasy about their awkward dynamic, Cecilia asked, “What are we to each other now?”

Nathaniel was momentarily stunned. Shouldn’t he be asking that? “Cecilia, is that all you have to say to me?”

Cecilia looked at his stern face. “I’ve made myself quite clear. I did nothing wrong concerning Jonathan and Elliot.”

Nathaniel was speechless. He rolled over, pulling Cecilia into his arms, his hand resting gently on her arm. She instinctively flinched.

“Do you fear me?” Nathaniel asked gravely.

Cecilia shook her head. “I’m not scared of you at all.” Her flinch was purely instinctive, a conditioned response to the possibility of him striking her.

A sardonic smile touched Nathaniel’s lips. “You’re right,” he said. “If you were afraid of me, how could you dare admit to infidelity in front of so many people, forcing me to divorce you?” Before his accident and blindness, Cecilia was the only person in Tudela brave enough to do that.

“It’s all in the past. What’s the point of bringing this up now? Are you trying to settle the score?” she asked.
