Mason let out a sigh. "I suspect he has some serious psychological issues."

Cecilia fell silent.

Seeing her like this, Nathaniel asked, "I've packed a lot of food in the car, would you like to eat something? We have a long journey ahead when we head back." Cecilia, however, shook her head.

"No need."

She no longer resisted, now even yearning to return home and see for herself what else Nicholas had deceived her about.

Meanwhile, in Tudela.

Elliot had already shared the good news about finding Cecilia with the people around him.

Inside Daltonia Villa, Zachary, Vivian, and Charlotte had all rushed over.

"Eli, you're not lying, are you? Is Ceci really coming back?" Vivian asked excitedly.

Elliot nodded repeatedly. "Of course, why would I lie about something like this?"

Jonathan also said, "I had already searched for the city where mom was staying yesterday. I really did see her on the surveillance, she was indeed all right."

As expected, Jonathan's statement held more weight and the crowd eagerly awaited Cecilia's return.

They had prepared an array of delicious foods to welcome her.

In the afte

the plane landed in Tudela.

Cecilia took a seat in the car, gazing out at the familiar scenery, feeling somewhat dazed.

Her memories of these places had become somewhat hazy, but upon returning, they felt exceptionally familiar.

Finally, the car arrived outside Daltonia Villa.

The villa was shrouded in darkness, yet the stenery outside remained strikingly familiar.

She was certain she had never been here before!

Nathaniel was perplexed. He had already informed Elliot that Cecilia would be returning that day. Could the child have forgotten?

"Let's go, this is our home," Nathaniel stated.

Nodding in agreement, Cecilia followed him inside.

As soon as the two of them pushed open the door, all the lights in the villa lit up, bathing the surroundings

The two children, Elliot and Jonathan, stood not far away, their eyes welling up with tears at the sight of

her.

Elliot ran straight to Cecilia, his voice trembling with emotion. "Mommy, I missed you so much! Why didn't you come back to see me? Do you know I couldn't sleep or eat because I couldn't see you every day?" Cecilia was suddenly embraced by a soft figure, leaving her somewhat dazed.

"Um..."novelbin

She was just about to clarify that she wasn't his mother that there had been a mix-up, when another child approached her.

Struggling to hold back his tears, Jonathan said, "Mom, I'm so relieved that you're okay. My brother and I have missed you terribly."

He felt too shy to embrace Cecilia like Elliot did. All he could do was stand awkwardly in front of Cecilia, hoping that Cecilia would come over and hug him.

Cecilia looked at the two adorable children before her. As the weight of the information she had uncovered and the words of Nathaniel and Nicholas sank in, realization struck-these boys were her own flesh and blood, her sons! "Sorry, Mommy came back fate," she said with a hint of guilt.

Over the course of more than a year, the kids must have been consumed with worry.

As she spoke, she couldn't bring herself to embrace the two children.

Both Jonathan and Elliot found it rather peculiar. Why did it seem like Cecilia was acting distant toward them?

After not seeing them for over a year, shouldn't she have rushed to embrace them?

Could it be that she had found another man and no longer loved them?

Upon thinking of this, tears welled up in Elliot's eyes.

Jonathan too, wore a face full of disappointment. Did their mother not love him and his brother anymore? "Ceci!"

"Boss!"

""Cecilia!"

A crowd of people came over, each with eyes brimming with unshed tears.

Cecilia looked at them, realizing that apart from Vivian, she didn't recognize anyone else.

She felt a bit embarrassed, giving them a slight nod. "Yeah, sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

Such polite words left everyone present momentarily stunned.
