Chapter 319 Hearing the name Cecc. Oneidaâs gaze turned fierce in an instar That name, of course, was more than familiar to Oneida. Before she returned to reclaim her place in the Chaser family, before she took on the name Oneida, she was called Cece. Oneida stared at the girl in front of her, her eyes deep with thought. She couldnât shake the feeling that this girl was extraordinary. She thought, âWhy does she have a pair of eyes that resemble my own so closely, and why is her name also Cece? What kind of hidden connection could there be between this girl and me?â
âIda, whatâs up with you?â Jacksonâs soft, soothing voice echoed in her ear. He observed Oneida closely, his gaze profound.
Oneida snapped out of her reverie and looked towards Jackson without thinking. âItâs nothing.â She shook her head and remained silent.
But Jackson suddenly extended his hand, softly tousling Oneidaâs hair with a tender gesture. âDo you remember what I once told you?â His words were soft, his lips barely moving, eyes glued to her, shimmering like the deep ocean. Jackson feared Oneida might overthink about seeing Cece, so he felt compelled to reaffirm his feelings. Before going to meet Cece, he had reminded Oneida that he only had feelings for her. Now, seeing Oneidaâs thoughtful expression, Jackson, who was usually detached and unsympathetic, was uncharacteristically worried.
Caught off guard by the head tousle, Oneida was slightly dazed. She thought, âWhy does he always have this urge to pat my head?â âOf course, I remember,â replied Oneida. âI just think that your friend looks a bit familiar,â Oneida added, throwing another glance at Cece.
âYou think I look familiar?â Cece overheard and couldnât help but widen her eyes, her curiosity piqued. âDo you know me?â she pouted and asked, âI canât remember a lot of things, maybe weâve met before.â
Oneida pursed her lips, remaining silent. She didnât like this girl named âCeceâ. âIâm a bit tired and want to head back to rest, Oneida said, her eyes falling slightly as she suddenly turned and strode toward the staircase.
âWait, Ida...â Jacksonâs lips parted, calling after her almost instinctively.
âJackson, does she not like me?â Cece suddenly reached out, grabbing Jacksonâs arm.
Jackson had intended to follow Oneida, but Ceceâs action forced him to stop in his tracks. âNo, thatâs not it,â he said, turning to look at Cece with a stern tone.
âThen why would she...â Cece frowned, her voice filled with displeasure.
âDonât overthink it,â Jackson urged softly. âSheâs not like that. Sheâs really nice.â After speaking, he turned to Victor, âTake Cece to her room, make sure sheâs well taken care of.â

ï¤The Second Act 318 âGot it,â Victor nodded, then stepped forward to approach Cece.
But Cece seemed reluctant, clinging tight to Jacksonâs arm, âJackson, werenât you supposed to play with me? I want you to stay with me.â
âCece, you...â Victor frowned deeply at this.
Jackson, at that moment, gently pried Ceceâs hand off his arm. âCece, go back and rest,â he said firmly, then proceeded up the staircase.
âJackson!â Cece called out anxiously, wanting nothing more than to follow Jackson, to be with this handsome guy, but he didnât turn back as he walked away.
