Chapter 1335 Playing Favorites
After a moment of contemplation, Nathaniel proposed, “How about this? Every time I come to see you in the future, I'll first take your left hand. What do you think?”

Initially, Cecilia found it somewhat troublesome, but considering what had just occurred, she felt the hassle was justified.

“All right.”

Unapologetically, Nathaniel took her hand and led her forward.

Cecilia had come to realize that there were many facets of Nathaniel's immaturity. Apart from their appearances, he was truly different from Nicholas.

Holding hands, the two of them walked forward.

Behind them, Nicholas wore a gloomy expression, while Cassandra's face had turned beet red.

She was aware that there had been a misunderstanding earlier, yet she couldn't help but feel resentful. Why did both Nicholas and Nathaniel choose to side with Cecilia?

“Nicholas, if you had to choose between me and Cecilia, who would you pick?” asked Cassandra.

Nicholas turned to look at her, his eyes consistently gentle as always.

“This kind of question holds no significance whatsoever.”

Cassandra's throat tightened, and she clung tightly to Nicholas' arm. “I need you to answer me. Do you actually like me, or do you like Cecilia?” she asked. I'm clearly no less than Cecilia, so why would Nicholas be fond of Cecilia? Cecilia merely met Nicholas before I did. Had I met Nicholas first, there's no doubt he would fall for me.

“You're my wife. Needless to say, I like you,” Nicholas replied with a smile.

His smile didn't hold a shred of warmth.

Cassandra, however, fell for it. “Really? In that case, I want you to come back and keep me company tonight.”

After hesitating for a good while, Nicholas nodded in agreement.

“All right.”

Cassandra managed to turn her tears into laughter, cheerfully linking arms with Nicholas as they walked ahead.

Inside the preschool, Felix watched as everyone else's parents arrived. He didn't have a hint of disappointment on his face. Instead, he wore an expression of pride.

That was because he knew that the person who would participate in the parent-child activity with him that day was none other than Nicholas.
