Chapter 423 The Most Difficult Decision in His Life

“If Jessica and Kara are still here, they could take care of you. Unfortunately, Jessica is in prison.” “Jessica is in prison?” “Don’t you know that? They killed Esmee and have been arrested by the police.” When it came to Esmee, Jersey’s face was dark, and his expression was complex. He wondered if the sisters had betrayed him after they were arrested. They shouldn’t have betrayed him, right? Otherwise, Cecelia would definitely question him! “You don’t seem to know these things yet.” “I really don’t know…” He left the Swaxon Kingdom to find her only two days after recovering from his injury, and he didn’t have time to inquire about the affairs of the Cathail Republic. Cecelia then said, “So you don’t know that Kara is dead?” “Is Kara dead?” When Jersey heard the news, he was shocked. His face filled with disbelief, mixed with a hint of sadness. After all, Jessica and Kara grew up with him, and they were also his most loyal assistants who knew him best, just like his sisters. Jersey suppressed his sad mood and asked slowly, “Didn’t you say she was in prison? How did she die?” “She was killed by someone. The murderer is still under investigation.” Cecelia sighed lightly. Jersey clenched his fists and fell into a sad mood, “Who on earth killed her?” The police had not yet finalized the case, and it was not convenient for Cecelia to say more. “Don’t worry about it anymore. If there’s a result, I’ll notify you.”

A scarlet glow appeared in Jersey’s eyes. Looking at the ceiling, he smashed the bed twice with his fist and murmured, “They’re gone… They’re all gone…” “What do you mean?” Seeing him in such a desperate state, Cecelia’s emotions were somewhat mixed. Shouldn’t she tell him about it? “I don’t have a family anymore…” Jersey fell into painful emotions. “Jessica and Kara grew up with me since I was a child. They are like my family. They also left me. I have no family in the future. Cecelia, I have disowned my father for your sake… I will no longer be the son of the Earl.” This may be the most difficult decision Jersey had ever made in his life. For love, he gave up his identity and status, and even disowned his father. Seeing him in such pain, Cecelia was silent for a long time. Listening to what he said, she was surprised that he disowned his father for her sake. Maybe Jersey was indeed different from his father, and she shouldn’t classify him and Tobiani as the same kind of person. As for his saying that he no longer had family, Cecelia didn’t mention Maggie for the time being, afraid that it would hit him again. After Jersey’s mood had calmed down a bit, Cecelia left the hospital, but promised to visit him again. Walking out of the hospital, Cecelia happened to meet Shepard, who had just come off work. Shepard took off his white coat and walked with a brisk gait, looking energetic and vigorous. “Shepard!” Hearing Cecelia’s voice, Shepard stopped, “Cecelia? Why are you here?” “I just came back from abroad to send a friend to see a doctor. Where are you going now?” “I’m going to the Nelson Residence to pick up Cynthia.” Shepard replied somewhat shyly. He was going to pick up Cynthia, and they were going out on a date at night. “I’m going to the Nelson Residence too, let’s go together!”

“Okay.” On the way to the Nelson Residence, Cecelia chatted with Shepard and learned that they were all fine during her absence from the Cathail Republic. Cynthia was discharged from the hospital, and Shepard established a romantic relationship with her. The two were in constant phone and text messaging contact every day, and their relationship was very intimate. “It seems that you are about to get married. I am waiting for the wedding feast.” Cecelia said with a smile. “It’s still early. Cynthia said she would give me a six-month probation period and test whether I am qualified or not. Alas, I’m a little worried.” Shepard, who was in the probation period, had no confidence in himself and was afraid that he would not be able to satisfy Cynthia. “Don’t be afraid. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, she won’t be able to escape from you.” Shepard touched his face. Indeed, his skin was a little thicker than before. “If she can recover her memory, she will definitely love you more, so you don’t need to worry!” “That’s right!” They came to the Nelson Residence together. Cynthia, who received his call, waited at the gate in advance. Seeing Shepard coming, she walked to him immediately, “Shep!” “Can’t you just call me by my name?” Shepard’s cheeks turned red, and he glanced subconsciously at the car behind him. He felt embarrassed that Cecelia had heard Cynthia calling him by his nickname. Cynthia was wearing a wig, so it was hard to tell if she was bald. With the nurturing of love, her face was rosy and shiny, and she looked much more beautiful. She put her arms around Shepard’s neck and asked him in a coquettish tone, “Do you miss me?” “Uh…” How could he answer? “Answer me quickly! Say you miss me, say it quickly!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

At Cynthia’s urging, Shepard said while blushing, “I miss you.” “Hey hey!” Cynthia laughed silly. She loved to hear him say nice things. A love word from Shepard could make her happy all day long. “Oh, you guys are so lovey-dovey.” Cecelia got out of the car and said jokingly with a smile. Seeing Cecelia coming back, Cynthia cried out joyfully, “Cecelia, you’re back! Mom, Dad, and Grandma are all waiting for you!” “I know. Hurry up and go out on a date. Don’t show affection here. I’m getting jealous.” “I didn’t expect that one day you would also have to watch me show affection. In the past, you and my brother always showed affection in front of me, hahaha.” Cynthia was overjoyed and her words exposed the truth. Cecelia reacted and asked in surprise, “Have you regained your memory?” Cynthia froze and quickly waved her hand. “No, no, I haven’t fully regained my memory yet!” She quickly took Shepard’s hand and said, “Let’s go, honey, let’s go on a date and show affection to those single people!” Cynthia did not dare to say that she had regained her memory. She enjoyed what Shepard had done to her. She was afraid that Shepard would not love her after she told him she had regained her memory. After watching them leave, Cecelia smiled and walked into the Nelson Residence. In the main hall of the Nelson Residence, Gabriella, Aurora, and Samuel were all there. Cecelia walked in and greeted them. “Grandma, Uncle, Aunt Snow.” “Cecelia, you’re finally back!” Gabriella was so happy to hear Cecelia calling her “grandma” again. “Cecelia, it’s good to have you back. We’ve all been missing you!” Aurora took her by the arm and led her to a chair. After a moment of conversation, Everest came in with several children.

“Mommy, Mommy…” “Baby!” Cecelia met her children again. She hugged them in her arms and kissed them. When dinner was served, Cecelia still hadn’t seen Remington and couldn’t help but ask, “Aunt Snow, where’s Remington? Didn’t he come back earlier?”
