Jonathan patted her shoulder. “Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it. I promise to apologize to mom when we get there.”

Vivian was on the verge of tears, yet none came.

She felt as if she had been outwitted by a child, and the crucial issue was that she couldn’t send him back home alone at this point.

Although she considered that he might be able to handle flying back alone, it wasn’t a feasible option at the moment.

“Stay put. I’ll give Ceci a call. Otherwise, she and Martha will start worrying about you.”

“Don’t worry, I left a note for Grandma, informing her that I’m with you,” Jonathan replied.

Vivian was speechless. This little trickster.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed Cecilia’s number.

Meanwhile, Cecilia held a cup of warm water as she sat on the balcony, answering the phone call.

Vivian glanced somewhat guiltily at the little boy beside her. “Ceci, I had originally planned to surprise you, but…”
