Chapter 432 He Wants to Give Mommy a Surprise “Knock knock!”

Remington would not be as impulsive as before-rushing in and hitting the young man before getting the truth. Instead, he knocked gently on the door.

The two in the room heard the knocking and looked up. At first glance, Cody recognized that he was Remington Nelson, President of the Nelson Group and Miss Linsey’s boyfriend. He was shocked and stood up.

Seeing it was Remington, Cecelia said to Cody, “Use this idea to revise it, then hand over the revised version to Mr. Mavis.”

“Got it. Thank you, Miss Linsey.”

Cody immediately left with the document.

“Mr. Nelson.”

When he walked past Remington, Cody was chilled by his numbing cold aura and shivered. Even when he had passed, he could still feel a sharp gaze piercing his back. Terrified, he moved faster.

Seeing the young man run away with his tail between his legs, Remington finally withdrew his gaze and paced into the room.

When he came to the woman, he presented the flowers to her. “Cece, these flowers are for you.”

Cecelia stood up, lowered her head to smell the flowers, and asked with a smile, “Why do you suddenly give me flowers? Today is not any festival.”

“I can’t give you flowers when it is not a festival? I want to apologize for forgetting myself last night!

Sorry, honey, I shouldn’t have drunk alcohol because of anger, and I shouldn’t have worried you.”

Cecelia finally knew why. He must have learned what happened last night, so he especially came to apologize.

In fact, she didn’t take it to heart. After all, he didn’t betray her.

But since the man had come to admit his wrongdoing, she had to seize the chance to make a rule for him. “Okay, I accept your apology! But frown today on, when I’m not present, you can never drink. Even when you’re in social intercourse, you can’t get drunk!”

“Okay, I promise!”

After they stared at each other for a while, Remington held her shoulder and said, “Let’s go, honey. Our son has a competition this afternoon. Let’s go watch it!”

“What kind of competition?”

Cecelia hadn’t heard their children mention it.

“Andres is to participate in the final of the National Children’s Piano Competition.”

“Why didn’t any one of you tell me? I have no clue about it! He’s already in the final?”

“We wanted to give you a surprise.”

After packing her handbag and taking the flowers, Cecelia left the Tangerine Group with Remington.

On the way to the competition, Cecelia received a call from Roger, “Miss Cecelia, we went to the Jadon’s place in the countryside and did find a woman’s dead body in the water tank. Our preliminary judgment is that she is Jadon’s wife. After getting the DNA test result, we will be able to convict him.

We can solve this case because of your help. On behalf of the whole crime squad, I would like to thank you.”

“You’re very welcome, Captain Shawn.”

After a simple chat, Cecelia hung up the phone.

She had just helped them at her convenience. If she could do something valuable for society, she was very willing.

At the hospital.

Jersey was lying in the ward recovering from his injury. He had been hoping Cecelia could come to visit him again.

He estimated that she had arrived by now, but why wasn’t she here yet?

Was it that Remington didn’t allow her to come to see him?

When he was thinking, a soft knock suddenly came from the door, followed by the clunking of high-

heeled shoes. Jersey became spirited and got up, excitedly calling, “Cecelia!”

But then he realized that it was not Cecelia, but Snow.

“Ms. Snow?”

Finding that this was not the one he wanted to see, he appeared a little disappointed for a brief moment.

Snow came in with an insulated food container, put it on the table, and said, “Mr. Bowman, Cecelia asked me to bring you some food.”

Having left Dark Moon, she didn’t have to call him Young Master anymore. Looking at the insulated container, Jersey heaved a low sigh, “Why didn’t she… come?”

“Cecelia was busy,” Snow explained briefly.

“I guess being busy was an excuse. Remington didn’t allow her to come, right?” Jersey asked.

Snow thought for a moment and persuaded, “Mr. Bowman, why do you have to cling to what doesn’t belong to you? Cecelia is a match for Mr. Nelson. They love each other. Why do you have to force yourself in?”

These words were very unpleasant to the ear. Jersey looked icy, showing he wanted the speaker to stay far away from him.

Snow opened the food container, took out the food, and continued, “These dishes were specially made for you. Please eat some!”

But when she presented the food to his hand, Jersey brushed it off mercilessly to the floor.

Snow looked at him, shocked.

Jersey’s face was full of anger. Snow thought what she said must have offended him.

“Sorry, Mr. Bowman. If I said anything unpleasant, please don’t mind. But all I said is true. Please think about it seriously! I’m doing this for your own good.”

Snow knew Jersey. Since she was a few years older than him, she was both his teacher and his sister.

She sincerely wanted to persuade him to give up his obsessiveness.

In the end, Jersey suppressed his anger, his eyes desolate.

“I know you’re doing this for my own good, but how could I be capable of controlling my feelings so easily? You’ve underestimated my feelings for Cecelia! I think you know what kind of environment I used to live in, but Cecelia made me know for the first time that black is not the only color in this world.

“She was like a ray of light, lighting up my life. These years, I’ve been trying to approach the light, building the Bowman Group, just because I want to stand in the same world with her someday.

“You have no idea how important she is to me. Ms. Snow, you haven’t met one who gave you the light, so you won’t truly know my heart.”

Snow really didn’t know about love. But at this moment, she seemed to be able to feel Jersey’s thoughts.

The feeling of loving someone was impossible to control.

Jersey loved Cecelia sincerely, viewing her as his light and life savior.

Cecelia was the only rope that brought him out of the dark abyss. He didn’t know what the consequence would be if he lost this rope.

Maybe he would fall back to the dark depths of hell and be destroyed!

“Alas!”

Snow heaved a faint sigh in the end. What to do?

There was only one Cecelia in this world!

After eating lunch at a restaurant, Remington and Cecelia headed for the Center City Art and Culture Exchange Center.

The Fourteenth National Children’s Piano Competition was held in the Center City Art and Culture Exchange Center. Those who were here to participate in the competition were all musical elites from across the country.

A lot of coach buses were parked outside the art center, and the competitors and their escorts marched in.

Cecelia and Remington followed the others into the art center. When they reached the lounge on the first floor, they saw Verda, Everest, and Adam as well as the four children of the Nelson family they took care of.

Besides, Samuel and his wife Aurora, Samson and his sister Sabrina, and Cynthia and Shepard were also present.

“Hello, everyone!”

Cecelia greeted these people. Seeing them come, the four children all ran over excitedly.

“Daddy, mommy…”

Cecelia stroked the heads of the children and finally looked at her eldest son Andres.

Since he was going to enter the game, the little guy had changed into a black tuxedo, looking handsome and spirited.

Cecelia helped her son tidy up his little bow tie, saying, “Andres, you’re entering a piano competition, but I didn’t know! Go for it, son! We’re all here to cheer you on today!”

“Thank you, mommy!”

Andres felt so happy. He asked his teacher to not tell his mommy because he wanted to give her a surprise!

“The competition is about to start. I’ll take him there now!”

Everest came over and took Andres away, and Andres waved to his mommy with a smile. He wanted his mommy to watch his performance because he wanted to make her proud!
