Chapter 403

Chapter 403 Don’t mess around Cecelia glanced at Chris, and Chris’s face stiffened.

Facing the questioning, Chris could only change the subject. “Actually, it’s nothing. I heard from Cecelia that you came to Porema, so I thought of inviting you to my house. Um, I don’t know why you suddenly came to Porema. Is there something going on?”

It must be said that Chris’s way of speaking changed really quickly!

Just now, he firmly believed that Cecelia was lying and spreading rumors, but now that he saw Remington here, he immediately changed his attitude.

“I believe you all already know that Cecelia is not only my ex-wife, but also my fiancee now, my only girlfriend. I heard that she returned to the Songo family, and coincidentally, I was coming to Porema for investment research, so I came to see how she’s doing at the Songo family.”

Remington immediately held Cecelia’s hand, his gaze doting and fond as he stared at her. “Cece, are you comfortable here? Tell me. Has anyone bullied you? If anyone dares to bully you, their whole family won’t have peace!”

Chris and Alfred couldn’t help but tremble when they heard what Remington said, and subconsciously looked at Cecelia.

Cecelia smiled faintly. “How could anyone bully me? Even if there is, Great-uncle will stand up for me!”

She turned to Alfred sitting beside her. “Am I right, Great-uncle?”

Alfred nodded. “Yeah, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully Cecelia. Mr. Nelson, you can rest assured.”

Remington nodded and didn’t pursue anything further.

They naturally started discussing the matters concerning the Songo family. Remington couldn’t pass judgment. “No matter what, things have already happened, and we must find a way to resolve it, or the impact on the Songo Group would be immeasurable.”

“Yes, we’re thinking of ways to resolve it.”

“Mr. Songo, you and your family are busy, and I happen to have a client to meet later, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Remington bid farewell and requested, “Cece, accompany me to meet the client. Let’s go first!”

Chris suddenly had a thought. If he could rely on Cecelia to establish a connection between the Songo Group and Sierra International, perhaps he could turn the current disadvantage around.

“Mr. Nelson, please stay and have a meal together!”

“Thank you for your kind invitation, but I’m really busy today. I’ll visit you another time.”

Remington pulled Cecelia up. Cecelia said goodbye to them before leaving with him.

Outside the door, Mariah could only watch as Cecelia and Remington walked away hand in hand.

After they left, Alfred became angry. “Look at what you’ve done! Fortunately, Cecelia didn’t say anything just now. If Remington pursued it, what should we do?”

“I’m sorry, father, I didn’t think it through.”

“Be more careful in the future. Don’t offend people without even realizing it, especially Remington. He’s not someone to be trifled with.”

“I understand!”

At this moment, Mariah entered from outside, “Grandpa, Dad, how is Warda’s situation? When will he be released?”

“We’re working on it. Just wait at home.”

After Chris finished speaking, he left the Songo family directly. He planned to arrange for someone to establish connections with influential people.

He originally thought that with the Songo family’s reputation, he could use connections to suppress the matter concerning his children. However, this time, he encountered one setback after another.

The gifts he sent were all returned, and none of the invitations he sent received a positive response.

When he went to the police to inquire, he received news that there were orders from superiors to investigate the Songo family’s two matters strictly, without any tolerance or leniency.

Getting such a result surprised Chris greatly. He couldn’t understand why his previous methods didn’t work anymore.

Could it be that someone was going against him behind his back?

……

Driving on the road, Cecelia and Remington discussed their plans and the current situation.

“It’s been a while since I returned to the Songo family, but until now, I have searched every corner of the Songo family and haven’t found any clue related to my mother. Where could she be?”

Remington held her in his arms and analyzed, “Currently, there are two possibilities. First, your Great-

uncle knows her whereabouts, but he won’t tell you unless he achieves his goal. Second, the person who kidnapped your mother might not be your Great-uncle.”

“I also suspect it’s the latter. The employer of Black Hawk is likely someone else, but who could it be?”

Cecelia frowned hard. “Right now, I’m just worried that if we don’t find my mother soon, her life might be in danger.”

Remington felt sorry for her and comforted her, “Perhaps we shouldn’t worry too much about your mother. If the other party wanted to kill her, they wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble by hiring Black Hawk. Since they wanted to cover it up and took her away, the chances of her being alive are higher.”

“I hope so. Right now, I’m frustrated about how to get Alfred to tell me the truth! He is more difficult to deal with than I thought!”

“Alright, let’s not think about that too much for now. Trust that everything will work out in the end.”

Cecelia nodded.

The car entered the entrance of an amusement park, and Cecelia curiously asked, “What are we doing here?”

“We’re here to play.”

Remington raised his arm and embraced her, kissing her cheek.

Cecelia smiled. “We’re already adults. Why are we coming to an amusement park?”

“Who says adults can’t play in an amusement park?”

Remington got out of the car with Cecelia. There were no visitors in the amusement park in Porema today, only staff waiting on the premises.

They walked in, and Cecelia couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re really crazy, renting out the entire place!

You’re disappointing all the kids who wanted to come here.”

“I don’t care. I just want my baby to be happy today.”

Remington wanted to help Cecelia relax. She had been under a lot of pressure and in a tense environment for a long time, and he was afraid she would have a nervous breakdown.

Relaxing in a childlike manner and having fun occasionally could also relieve her stress.

Next, Cecelia changed into sneakers and played in the amusement park with Remington.

The children loved the carousel, and they both rode on it as well.

Remington sat on the big horse in front and waved back. “Baby, can you catch up to me? Can’t catch me, right?”

“How childish you are.”

Cecelia was behind him, smiling brightly.

She didn’t know what happened, but after falling in love with Remington, she felt like she had become more childish along with him.

After years of being consumed by hatred, her heart finally began to melt. Like feeling the warmth of the sun, even the deepest and darkest corners of her heart started to become bright and warm.

After getting off the carousel, they went to ride bumper cars, having a great time with Cecelia’s laughter filling the air.

Then, they went on the Ferris wheel. As the Ferris wheel slowly ascended, their state of mind also became peaceful.

When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, Remington suddenly pulled Cecelia into his arms, his gaze burning. “Baby, guess what I want to do right now?”

Cecelia’s heart raced in fear. “Hey, this is outdoors. Don’t do anything inappropriate!”
