Mason was also at his wit's end. "All of this is built on wealth. Be good. Let's not be bewitched by capitalism."

"Hmph." Lucille scoffed, not bothered to continue the conversation with him.

Right now, Mason wished he could be as far away from his boss as possible.

After becoming friends with Cecilia, Lucille always insisted on equating himself with Nathaniel.

How could that be possible? Their financial position was utterly different.

Although Mason, as Nathaniel's chief personal assistant was certainly not short of money, he still couldn't 'bear to be so extravagant.

Vivian also said to Zachary, "Even though I'm not particularly fond of flowers, seeing these is truly a feast for the eyes. Could we possibly plant some at Sinclair Manor?"

Zachary replied, "If you like this so much, ask someone to plant them. I don't have the time for this."

"Fine. I'll do it myself. How petty." Vivian was unconcerned.

Unbeknownst to her, Zachary had immediately ordered someone to make preparations.

When it came time to prepare, Zachary found himself in a bind. Nathaniel had adorned the Smith residence with so many flowers, using up a significant amount from the nearby area. Now, finding such a quantity again proved to be quite a challenge. Meanwhile, Madeline was also holding her daughter, beginning to pick flowers.

Darren watched the scene unfold, contemplating doing the same at home. After all, spending a little more time and money to please his wife was only right.

After everyone had admired the view, they each proceeded into the mansion.

Nathaniel quietly pulled Cecilia to the side and whispered, "There are a few things inside our room. Do you want to take a look?"

"What is it?" Cecilia asked, puzzled.

"You'll understand once you come and see it with me."

Thus, Cecilia was beguiled by Nathaniel to ascend the stairs to check out the room.

Upon entering the room, Cecilia was greeted by the sight of an array of assorted gifts filling up the space.

She was somewhat taken aback. "What are these?"

"They're all for you. Take a look," Nathaniel had always known what Cecilia liked, so he had everything arranged accordingly.

That was the first time Cecilia realized someone could deliver gifts in such massive quantity.

She had done nothing to deserve a reward. If she were to accept so many gifts from Nathaniel, after gaining the benefit, she would have to return the favor. Hence, she decided against accepting the gifts. Nathaniel hadn't expected her to reject him outright, leaving him momentarily at a loss.

He could tell that Cecilia didn't want to take advantage of him at the moment, so he couldn't help but say, "We're a married couple. What's mine is yours. There's no question of what you can or cannot accept. These things are meant for you." Cecilia continued to refuse, "Really, there's no need. I have everything I need right now. I don't require anything else."

After she finished speaking, she was ready to leave.

Nathaniel, however, couldn't bear to let her go just like that, so he wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Ceci, can you please not leave tonight?"

He was truly longing for Cecilia, and the agony was unbearable. Cecilia was clearly within sight, yet he couldn't touch her. The feeling was torturous. Embraced by Nathaniel, Cecilia was instantly flustered. "Let go of me, now!"

With a calm and composed demeanor, Nathaniel uttered, "Let me hold you for a while."

Before he had even finished speaking, he felt a sudden pain in his arm.

At that moment, Cecilia had her head lowered and was biting his arm.

Nathaniel remained unyielding, not letting go. He chuckled. "You really haven't changed."

Cecilia frowned. She didn't bite hard, only intending to make Nathaniel loosen his grip. Does he think we're flirting?

With that thought in mind, Cecilia no longer held back, biting down hard.

Enduring the pain, Nathaniel let out a soft grunt. "It's okay. If you like to bite, go ahead. I'm just holding you. I promise I won't do anything else." You won't do anything else? Cecilia felt his breath was scorching. It doesn't feel like he's just hugging me.
