Chapter 1660 Are You Ready


    Cecilia looked up and met Miranda''s sharp, calcting gaze.


    "Why are you sitting here all alone? Want to join the other cousins for a chat?" Miranda asked.


    No, thank you. I prefer being by myself," Cecilia replied.


    Miranda gave a stiff smile. "All right then."


    Cecilia thought she would leave, but to her surprise, Miranda sat down beside her.

    Seeing Cecilia nce at her, Miranda said, "To be honest, I''m not a big fan of crowds either. Since you''re alone and I''m alone, why don''t we keep each otherpany?"


    With that, Cecilia couldn''t refuse.


    Besides, this was the Rainsworth family''s property. It wasn''t like she could ask Miranda to leave. Cecilia''s eyes wandered to the younger Rainsworth family members chatting among themselves in the distance.


    Miranda sipped her drink, her gaze fixed on Cecilia''s ss.


    A sly glint shed in her eyes as she picked up her phone, pretending to have stumbled upon something sensational.


    "Ceci, take a look at this..."


    She handed her phone to Cecilia.


    Puzzled, Cecilia took her phone and saw some gossip about Eric.


    While Cecilia was distracted, Miranda reached out toward Cecilia''s ss.


    Afterpleting her task nervously, Miranda turned to Cecilia and said, "Eric works at yourpany, right? I never would''ve guessed-he likes men!"


    "It''s just tabloid gossip. It''s probably not true," Cecilia replied.


    Eric didn''t strike her as someone who liked men.


    If he did, he wouldn''t constantly butt heads with Calvin.


    With Calvin''s looks, few people attracted to men could resist him.


    "True, the media does love to make things up," Miranda said, retrieving her phone. "By the way, Ceci, you''re not leaving tonight, are you?"


    Cecília picked up her ss, took a sip, and replied, "We''re leaving tomorrow."


    "Oh, that''s great." Miranda''s eyes gleamed with excitement as she watched Cecilia drink.


    Cecilia couldn''t quite understand what she meant by "that''s great."

    "No, you guys go ahead." Cecilia didn''t even remember who they were. Staying around them would just feel awkward.


    Miranda sighed regretfully. "Okay, if you insist."


    She stood up. "I''m heading to the restroom."


    "Okay." Cecilia nodded.


    After leaving, Miranda headed to a secluded corner and immediately called her secret lover. "It''s all set. I''m just worried about Nathaniel. Someone needs to keep him upied."


    The man on the other end reassured her that he''d take care of it.


    Sure enough, not long after, Miranda saw Nathaniel speak privately with Cecilia before walking away. ncing at her phone, Miranda noted the time. It was already past five in the evening.


    Another thirty minutes, and everything would fall into ce.


    Half an hourter, Miranda approached Adrian. "Hubby, are you ready?"


    Adrian was practically trembling with excitement. "I''ve been ready for ages. Should I go to her now?"


    He nced toward Cecilia, his gaze burning with desire.


    Seeing him so eager, Miranda clenched her teeth in irritation but kept her tone soothing.


    "Don''t rush. If you go now, people will see, and that''ll be bad for both of us. Let me go first and take her to


    the empty west wing where no one lives. Half an hourter, you cane over."
