Chapter 352 Teach Him A Lesson
Nathaniel hastily stuffed both the carrot and meat into his mouth.
Jonathan couldn’t help but shudder. It tastes so bad, yet se “mbag daddy ate it all, huh?
After swallowing that mouthful of food, Nathaniel declared, “I love everything my darling cooks.”
Only then did Cecilia withdraw her gaze.
Listening to Nathaniel repeatedly calling Cecilia “darling“, Calvin felt utterly down in the dumps..
He picked up the serving spoon and served Nathaniel some food. “I made this carrot dish. Right, Ceci?”
“Mm, that’s right.” Cecilia felt somewhat awkward, but seeing Nathaniel repeatedly suffer a setback, she felt oddly satisfied.
It was a side of Nathaniel she had never seen previously.
Having said that, Cecilia once again served Nathaniel some carrots. “Eat more if you like it.”
Astonishment and sympathy filled Jonathan’s eyes when he saw the towering pile of carrots on Nathaniel’s plate.
“Mr. Rainsworth, if you like it so much, you can have what’s on my plate, too.” Jonathan was wearing an innocent expression, but inside, his inner imp was snickering relentlessly. Sc*mbag daddy, don’t blame me for being heartless. A man without ruthlessness isn’t a true man.
As he spoke, he was about to pass all the carrots on his plate to Nathaniel. The latter glanced over and asked, “Jon, what did you learn in preschool today?”
The fork that Jonathan had lifted fell back down.
Nathaniel didn’t hold back, saying, “Do you also like carrots? You can have all of mine, okay?”
Jonathan wanted to refuse, but before he could, Nathaniel spoke again, “Ceci, do you know what Jon did today…
“All right, Mr. Rainsworth, you can give me all of it. I love carrots.” Jonathan promptly transferred. all the carrots from Nathaniel’s plate onto his own.
Across from them, Cecilia and Martha looked on in complete surprise.
Jonathan detested carrots the most. When he was just half a year old and starting to eat solid foods, any meal that included carrots would make him nauseous and cause him to vomit.
Cecilia was also shocked, wondering when Nathaniel had realized that the boy in front of him of Jonathan, not Elliot.
Calvin had originally thought that Jonathan would take his side. Unexpectedly, it turned out that

he cared more about Nathaniel.
I guess a biological father is still a biological father, after all.
He suddenly found the food on his plate tasteless.
After the meal, Calvin wanted to leave, and Cecilia saw him off.
“Goodbye.”
“Mmm–hmm.”
Calvin gazed at her intently for a long while before he finally turned and left.

He got into the car, and not long after he drove off, a large vehicle blocked his way. From within, about a dozen henchmen stepped out.
Calvin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Not far from him, Mason was seated in an understated black sedan. Picking up his phone, he ordered, “Teach this insolent fool a lesson.”
Mason had received a call from Nathaniel after Calvin and Cecilia returned together. Then, he had people stationed at the intersection that Calvin would inevitably take.
Meanwhile, Martha praised Calvin, who had just left, in the face of Nathaniel. “Calvin has had a tough life growing up. Not only
n he manage a big company, but he can also cook and doesn’t
smoke or drink. I wonder which lucky lady will win his heart in the future.”
Nathaniel knew that those words were meant for him, but he didn’t pay them any mind.
After all, it was still unknown if Calvin could surv
on his journey home that day.
Cecilia didn’t pay much attention to Martha’s words, because she was certain that Calvin had no feelings for her and they were just friends.
She glanced at Jonathan, who was still in the dining room eating his dinner. “Jon, I thought you didn’t like carrots?” she asked in curiosity.
Jonathan was on the brink of tears. “The carrots are surprisingly tasty today.”
“That’s great. How about I make this for you often in the future?”
Upon hearing these words, Nathaniel immediately became alert.
That night, two figures, a large and a small, were busy in the kitchen for quite some time.
Chapter 353 Take The Check
The next morning, when Cecilia wanted to make oatmeal, she discovered that not a single one of the carrots she had bought was left.
She had searched for a long time but couldn’t find it, so she had no choice but to substitute it with other ingredients.
Nathaniel was nowhere to be found early in the morning. Apparently, he had gone to the hospital.
In the dimly lit basement, Calvin slowly opened his eyes, realizing that he was bound to a wooden bench. Blood was freely flowing from a wound on his forehead, and his entire body was riddled with injuries. The pain was unbearable, as though his wounds had been dipped in salt
water.
A voice echoed from directly across him.
“Mr. Rainsworth, this guy is quite skilled. I had fifteen men with me, but all of them got injured. It was only with great difficulty that we managed to subdue him,” said Mason to Nathaniel.
Upon hearing the voice, Calvin looked over and saw Nathaniel sitting lazily in the chair opposite him.
Noticing Calvin moving, Mason immediately informed Nathaniel. “He’s awake now.”
Calvin knew that this time, it was Nathaniel’s people who had made their move.
When he sought out Cecilia, no one else knew. Foreign influences couldn’t intervene yet.
He had become too complacent living in his home country that he forgot to stay on guard and bring his bodyguard along.
“Nathaniel, did you really think that by bringing me here, Ceci would just accept you again?” A cold smirk tugged at Calvin’s lips. “If she wanted to be with you again, she wouldn’t have had a child with me.”
Nathaniel’s expression turned grim. “Is that so? What if you were to disappear then?”
“She’ll despise you even more for depriving her child of a father,” stated Calvin calmly.
As a man, he knew how to inflict deeper pain on another man.
As expected, these words hit Nathaniel’s weak spot.
But he didn’t want to spare Calvin just like that.
His subordinates kicked Calvin one after the other.
Calvin tightly pressed his lips together, unwilling to make a single sound.
Mason watched, feeling a certain admiration for the man before him. If it weren’t for the fact that Calvin wanted to steal someone else’s wife, he would indeed be quite a courageous man.
After Calvin collapsed into a pool of blood, Nathaniel rose slowly.
“Throw him out. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate.”
He would never deliberately take someone’s life.
“Understood.”
Nathaniel returned to the private accommodation that Mason had prepared for him. He took a bath to remove the lingering scent of blood on his body.
By the time he had changed his clothes, there was already a medical team waiting outside to examine him.
While his sight couldn’t be restored, he was determined to reclaim his memories!
He didn’t want to learn about his history with Cecilia through the words of others.
“Mr. Rainsworth, it seems that the medication you’ve been taking recently has started to take effect. That’s why you’ve been recalling past memories from time to time. In the future, you’ll need to undergo treatment once a week. After each session, it’s vital to maintain a calm state of mind. Believe me, it won’t be long before your memory is fully restored,” said the doctor.
After finishing his treatment, Nathaniel returned home. It was already four in the afternoon.
Cecilia had not yet returned.
Their neighbor living next door knocked and offered some cured meat. “Nathaniel, we made this ourselves. Take it.”
Nathaniel was just about to refuse when the neighbor asked, “Nathaniel, have I seen you. somewhere before? You look just like a big movie star.”
Thinking about how Nicholas had appeared on TV, Nathaniel replied indifferently, “We’ve never met.”
After he finished speaking, he took out a check and handed it to his neighbor.
“Thanks for meat. Feel free to fill in the amount yourself.”
The neighbor stared at the check, completely befuddled.
Without any further ado, Nathaniel closed the door.
He couldn’t let others know about his current identity yet. After all, it would take some time before the new company could be established.
Upon seeing Nathaniel’s attitude, the neighbor immediately became displeased and decided not
Chapter 354 Very Troublesome.
To the neighbors, what Nathaniel had handed over was nothing more than a piece of tattered paper.
Could he be a madman?
When Cecilia returned, the neighbor couldn’t help but pull her aside and say, “Your husband isn’t bad–looking, but he has a strange temper. I brought over some meat for you, and he handed me a piece of paper. He asked me to fill in the numbers myself.”
The neighbor tactfully chose her words, refraining from outright calling Nathaniel a madman.
Cecilia knew that the neighbor had misunderstood, but it wasn’t appropriate to correct her. Thus, Cecilia could only admit that Nathaniel’s temperament was indeed peculiar.
“Thank you for the food you’ve sent. In the future, when he’s at home, please don’t seek him out. Wait for me to return.”
“Okay.” The neighbor seemed relieved. She watched as Cecilia entered the house. Yet, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of sympathy for Cecilia.
How did such a fine young lady end up marrying a man who is both blind and mad? I remember hearing that Cecilia was a prominent young lady who had married a rich man.
Cecilia had returned from the hospital.
She had visited Elliot and then went for her prenatal checkup. Everything was normal.
When she pushed the door open and stepped into the room, Cecilia instantly noticed Nathaniel busy in the kitchen. A few times, he had almost burned his hand.
Cecilia stepped forward. “What are you doing
“Cooking,” answered Nathaniel unflinchingly, mistaking sugar for salt as he continued his cooking.
“That’s sugar, not salt…”
Nathaniel’s hand paused mid–air.
“Wasn’t the salt placed here?”
“After cooking dinner last night, the positions were switched.” Cecilia took a step forward. “Let me do it.”
She didn’t want to take advantage of someone who couldn’t see.
Nathaniel, however, did not hand over the pan to Cecilia. Instead, he continued to stir–fry the vegetables.

“From now on, I’ll be the one cooking.”
Thinking back to what Calvin had done in the kitchen yesterday, he wished he could have invited the best chefs in the country to come over.
Regrettably, Cecilia didn’t allow it.
Cecilia glanced at the blackish food in the pot. The corners of her mouth twitched.
If I eat this every day, I’ll have a shorter life span.
“Forget it, let’s hire a housekeeper to cook.”
The caregiver had to constantly look after Martha, leaving no time for cooking.
Recently, Cecilia found herself having to cook and clean the house, which ended up delaying her songwriting.
Nathaniel seemed particularly obedient. “Okay.”
“Stop cooking. We’ll order takeout later.”
Cecilia let out a sigh.
When would this situation ever end? When would Nathaniel regain his memory?
When Cecilia returned to the living room, she wanted to just lie down and have some quiet time. However, at that moment, she received a phone call from her overseas assistant, Charlottic.
“Have you written any new songs lately?”
“Not yet. What’s up?”
“I’ve landed a big deal here. A big shot specifically requested your new song,” said Charlottie.
Cecilia frowned. “The person wants to buy out my song?”
She personally didn’t like this approach. If the song was directly bought by someone else, it would no longer belonged to her.
“Yes. He said he was willing to pay a high price,” added Charlottie.
“No, it’s fine.” Cecilia flatly declined. She wasn’t in need of money right now.
“Okay then. I’ll talk to the other party. Have you been encountering any troubles lately? Why is the new song still not released?”
Charlottie was curious.
Her boss, Cecilia, was a workaholic who once composed three hit songs in a single night. This was a feat that had since earned her widespread acclaim in the industry.

The superstar who had sung those three songs wanted to meet Cecilia in private, but Cecilia turned him down.
She said, “As long as everyone enjoys the songs, there’s no need to delve into who the songwriter is.”
It was simply too troublesome.
Cecilia mulled over the assistant’s words as she turned her gaze toward Nathaniel, who emerged from the kitchen looking a bit disheveled.
Nathaniel, tall and reserved, lost his memory overnight, became blind, and adopted a completely different personality.
Indeed, he was very troublesome.

Chapter 355 The Ballet Dancer
The main reason why Cecilia returned to Sparaville was to accompany Martha as the latter spent her final days in her hometown.
She didn’t want Martha to pass away with any regrets. Yet, unexpectedly, she found herself entangled with Nathaniel and the Rainsworth family.
Cecilia collected her thoughts and said to Charlottie, “The next song will be released during Christmas.”
She had finished composing the melody, yet there were a few imperfect verses that she didn’t know how to modify.
“Got it.”
Charlottie typed away. “I’ll post the news on all major platforms immediately.”
“Okay.”
Ever since Cecilia became famous, she would announce it online in advance every time she released a new song. The only exception was her old friends. Afterward, the companies and singers would pay a fee to inquire about the new song.
Typically, it was Charlottic who would negotiate the fees and collaborations.
The previous time, when Cecilia was short on funds to manage her company, she had taken the initiative to seek out Simon.
However, the company wasn’t short on funds now, so Cecilia continued to operate according to the original protocol.
The decision would not be based on money, but rather on whether the song and the singer performing it were a good match.
Hence, it wasn’t guaranteed that one could purchase her songs, even if they had the money.
News of Cecile’s new song that would be released on Christmas trended the moment it was published.
People domestically and internationally noticed the news.
Upon hearing about this, Stella immediately instructed her assistant to handle the discussion.
If she could secure the new song, the prospects of her comeback would be optimistic,
There were many others, far wealthier and more influential than her, who desired the new song even more than she did.
Meanwhile, in Mourinthia, a woman had just finished a ballet performance. She descended from the stage with the grace and pride of a swan, coming face to face with Ralph Evans, a wealthy
businessman.
