Chapter 254 After the Reclaim of His Daughter, Remington’s Slyness
“The Nelson Group has sent an invitation, stating that tomorrow they will hold a child custody transfer ceremony at the Celestial Hotel in Center City. They request your presence!”
Isn’t this hitting where it hurts?
Stealing the girl and asking her to help deliver the girl home?
She had truly underestimated the audacity of Remington Nelson! “Nonsense! I’m not going!”
Maggie Taylor slumped in her chair, visibly frustrated. Her a**istant, sensing her distress, continued cautiously, “Mrs. Taylor, but the police and mainstream media will be present. If you don’t attend, what if…”
“Get out! Just get out!”
Maggie didn’t want to hear it. She needed some time alone to gather herself.
The a**istant hurriedly left the office, closing the door behind her. Maggie sighed deeply. She realized she had been played badly in this situation–attempting to steal chickens and losing the rice. She had lost both the girl and her dignity.
Remington had meticulously arranged everything.
He had elevated Maggie Taylor to a position where even if she wanted to back out, the public wouldn’t tolerate it.
Remington was confident in this approach because he understood Maggie’s character. As a woman who cared about her reputation and image, she couldn’t afford to disregard them.
Back home, Remington informed Cecelia about the upcoming custody event.
“Good move! Maggie Taylor won’t have a good way to respond to this!”
“Yes! You’ll be attending with me tomorrow!”
“Sure!”
At noon a lavish lunch was prepared in the Nelson Residence, with

Samson and Sabrina, the siblings, returning as well. The whole family gathered together.
With Doris’s return, the Nelson Family’s joy was multiplied.
They all enjoyed a harmonious lunch together.
In the afternoon, the kids played in the garden, while Cecelia sat on a swing chair watching them.
Rarely did they have such a peaceful and enjoyable moment. Remington approached her, sitting beside her, his long arm naturally draped around her.
Being with his beloved woman, watching their kids play–wasn’t this the beautiful future Remington had envisioned?
Thinking about accommodations for the night, Remington lowered his head and asked, “Cece, can you stay the night here?”
“I need to go back. I can’t keep staying here indefinitely.”
“You can stay here as long as you want, for as long as you need! If you leave, what about the kids?”
“I can take Doris with me. She just returned, and we still need time to bond. I need to be with her.”
“I want to stay with you too. We need to build our own bond!”
Leaning his head on Cecelia’s shoulder, Remington showed a rare dependence.
“Are you a cat? So clingy?”
“Exactly, my dear owner. You can stroke my fur!”
“Go away!”
Cecelia laughed, trying to push him away. She attempted several times but failed, eventually just letting him be.
From a distance, Samson approached. He had intended to discuss. some company matters with his cousin Remi, but seeing this heartwarming scene, he didn’t have the heart to interrupt and quietly withdrew.
Cecelia’s phone rang; it was a message from Adam.
A picture accompanied a short message.
Remington looked up and saw the image–a young man with a stylish. appearance. His spirits instantly lifted.

“Who’s this?”
I
“A friend.”
“Let me see!”
Remington snatched her phone, enlarging the picture. The young man looked quite handsome and posed stylishly.
The username was “Adam.” He remembered the name.
His face darkened a bit. In an unfriendly tone, he asked, “What kind of friend sends you pictures like this? Why are you judging how his pants look? Is he deliberately flaunting his b*dy?”
“No, he helped me, and I bought three pairs of pants for him. He tried them on to show me the effect.”
Cecelia innocently explained, not realizing how this honest explanation would irk Remington.
“What? You bought him pants? Three pairs?”
His focus wasn’t on “why you bought pants” but on “you bought pants for another man.
“Yes.” Cecelia nodded, not understanding what the big deal was.
“Bought pants for someone else, and three pairs!”
Remington grew angrier as he thought about it. Cecelia had never bought him pants before!
“What’s the big deal? They’re just pants.”
Cecelia noticed his displeasure and raised her eyebrows at him. But he turned his face away, “Hmph!”
“Are you upset? Jealous because of this? Mr. Remington Nelson?”
Cecelia found his possessiveness a little amusing. How could he be so jealous?
Still ignoring her, just at that moment, a voice message chimed in from Adam, automatically playing aloud.
“[Miss, I know of a cozy little restaurant with great food. How about we have dinner together tonight?]”
“[Sure, send me the location when it’s time!]”
Cecelia replied with a message. Remington’s face turned towards
Chapter 254 After the Reclaim of His Daughter, 4/5
her, his eyebrows nearly knitted together, his expression turning
sour.
“Do you pretend I don’t exist? Right in front of me, you’re making dinner plans with another man?”
“Yes! What’s wrong with that? Mr. Remington Nelson! Don’t forget the three–month observation period. If you don’t want it to end prematurely, you need to control yourself!”
Cecelia stared at him, her eyes reminding him that they were divorced now, and she was a free individual. He had no right to interfere in her normal social interactions.
H
Remington was on the verge of losing his mind. But he couldn’t ruin. the opportunity of the three–month observation period!
He was only her ex–husband now, and he didn’t have the authority to meddle in her personal business. Helpless, he sat there.
However, the thought of her having dinner with such a good–looking young man made his heart wrench.
Cecelia continued to watch the kids play with a faint smile on her face, finding Remington’s jealousy quité cute.
Meanwhile, Adam stood on a hillside at Cherry Ridge, overlooking the surrounding cherry blossom trees.
After several inquiries, he finally found out that this was the only cherry blossom forest in Center City.
He had come at the wrong time, missing the peak blooming season. The trees were now lush and green, devoid of the breathtaking sight of falling petals.
Closing his eyes, Adam’s mind conjured up hazy fragments–a scene where he ran under cherry blossom trees in full bloom, accompanied by laughter.
There were instructions from his mother to slow down.
And shouts from his sister, urging him to run faster!
Following the fragmented memories, Adam sprinted through the cherry blossom forest.

The wind brushed past him, and the calls from his sister seemed to grow clearer.
“Brother, come quickly…”
“Brother, look at this! What is it?”
A blurry figure stood beneath a ma**ive cherry blossom tree, waving at him with a smile.
There was the sound of a whistle. He remembered–he had blown the whistle, creating a clear sound.
Adam ran all over the forest, through all the hillsides, until he found the largest tree in the woods.
Breathless and exhausted, he approached the tree and circled it several times before finally collapsing against it.
What was he missing?
He closed his eyes.
After a while, Adam suddenly opened his eyes. He leaped up from the ground and began digging around the base of the tree with his hands.
