Chapter 679 Cruelty (1)
"You should go rest." Cecilia glanced at Thalia.
Thalia naturally stayed by her side to take care of her.
"Mr. Hotchner asked me to look after you."
"I can take care of myself."
Thalia looked a bit troubled.
"You can go ask Mr. Hotchner now if you can leave my side. Tell him I would be more comfortable alone. If he disagrees, you can come back and stay with me. I won't send you away."
Since Cecilia put it that way, Thalia didn't insist.
She respectfully said, "Then I'll go ask Mr. Hotchner."
Cecilia nodded.
As soon as Thalia left, Cecilia turned to Augustus and said, "Do you still have your phone?"
Her phone was already gone anyway.
Augustus shook his head, "It was taken away."
So now they had completely lost all contact with the outside world.
Cecilia felt helpless.
She wanted to send a message to Alaric, but it was clearly impossible.
Moreover, Gideon had deliberately arranged for Thalia to keep an eye on her every move. Forget about sending messages, even talking to Augustus required caution.
After a while, Thalia returned to her side, "Ms. Lockhart, Mr. Hotchner is worried that you might find many things inconvenient here, so he insists that I stay close to take care of you. He said you're pregnant and your body must not suffer any harm."
Cecilia's eyes tightened.
Despite everything she said tonight, Gideon still didn't trust her!
Serenovia City.Alaric publicly announced Cecilia's pregnancy and declared that due to her pregnancy, Cecilia would be pausing all business activities and would rest at home until the baby was born.
This way, Cecilia's sudden disappearance from the public eye would be reasonable and wouldn't arouse much suspicion.
The news was met with many congratulations.
After all, the public had always admired Alaric and Cecilia's relationship.
Alaric had arranged everything.
Alaric called Cassius, "Book the next flight to Los Angeles."
"Didn't you say we could rest for a couple more days?" Cassius was a bit annoyed.
He was still thinking about having some fun with a few women.
He didn't have the self-control of Alaric and Dashiell. He couldn't go a week without sex, let alone a day.
Alaric didn't explain much, "Text me when you've booked it."
Cassius was speechless.
Was Alaric in a bad mood today?
Although he didn't lose his temper, after so many years together, Cassius could tell Alaric's mood from his tone.
Could it be that Alaric had a fight with Cecilia?
Because Alaric had forcefully stopped Cecilia's social activities!
He didn't really agree with Alaric's approach.
Even if Cecilia was pregnant, he shouldn't treat her like this. Nine months of pregnancy, even if there were seven months left, staying at home would be too boring.
He couldn't imagine staying at home for seven months; it would drive him crazy.
What drove him even crazier was that he had planned to sneak out tonight to have sex with a woman.
Cassius suppressed his physical desires and called to book two plane tickets.
The next available flight was in three hours.
Cassius sent the flight information to Alaric, and Alaric replied with just one sentence, "Come pick me up."
Cassius looked at his phone, almost in tears.
They couldn't go to Astralton City so openly; it was really too much.
He got up from the couch and informed Hugo.
Hugo had no hesitation, eager for him to dedicate his life to the Whitaker family's business!
Cassius went back to his room to pack his simple luggage.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lily breastfeeding.
Lily probably didn't expect Cassius to suddenly appear. Normally, Cassius wouldn't come back to the room, especially since he had been in Astralton City for quite a while. Last night, he was monitored by Hugo and didn't go out. He slept in until late morning, and after getting up, he didn't waste a second before leaving the room. His initial excitement about Maxwell had also faded.
She held Maxwell and turned her body slightly.
Being caught breastfeeding by Cassius was still a bit embarrassing.
They weren't exactly a normal couple.
Cassius was stunned; he actually felt aroused.
He originally had no interest in Lily, always thinking of her as a pregnant woman. He would satisfy his needs outside. But now, looking at Lily, he couldn't help but swallow.
Although Lily was now facing away from him, her full figure...
Lily had given birth over a month ago.
Cassius looked at the time and said, "How much longer does Maxwell need to eat?"
"Should be soon."
"I'm heading to Astralton City later."
"Okay." Lily agreed.
Cassius felt a bit disappointed. He looked at Lily's back, then went to the closet to pack his things.
After feeding Maxwell, Lily handed him to the nanny.
She went to the bathroom to clean up.
Lily always washed before and after feeding, and there would always be some leakage after feeding, so she had to change clothes.
As she cleaned, she thought about when to stop breastfeeding Maxwell.
Lily was deep in thought when the door suddenly burst open.
Lily was startled.
She quickly covered herself.
She had completely forgotten that Cassius was still around.
Cassius looked at Lily and lost control.
He had been holding back in the closet for a while.
Waiting for Lily to finish feeding Maxwell, his face twisted with restraint, and Lily didn't even think to call him. When he came out and saw Lily gone, he felt he couldn't bear it if she suddenly disappeared.
Luckily, Lily was just washing up.
His eyes were full of desire.
Lily felt like a hungry wolf was eyeing its prey.
She nervously watched Cassius.
Lily saw him approach and roughly pin her against the bathroom wall.
Then the bathroom was filled with intense sounds, echoing back and forth.
Cassius left, feeling satisfied.
He didn't know if it was because he hadn't had sex in a long time, but he wasn't completely satisfied.
He kept thinking about the scene just now.
Lily would be perfect for adult films.
He felt parched and told the driver, "Drive faster."
If it weren't for the tight schedule, he would have continued.
He couldn't think about it; thinking too much would arouse him again.
This was the first time in a long while that Cassius felt unsatisfied after sex.
He took a deep breath and saw Alaric waiting at the Whitaker Villa entrance.
The car arrived, and Alaric opened the door and got in.
He was full of anger.
Cassius thought, was it really necessary to look like he wanted to kill him just because he made him wait an extra half hour?
