Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1792

Chapter 1792 The Housekeeper’s Room

When Ellen walked in through the door, her eyes were swollen from crying. She knew that her grandmother would pass away soon, and the pain in her heart was so intense that she nearly passed out from the distress.

Jessica had refused any form of treatment because she wanted to leave all her money to Ellen. For that reason, she passed away peacefully during the early hours of that very day.

As Jessica’s elder sister, Lilac came over with her son to help with the funeral procedures. Connor hung around too. On the other hand, Ellen was too young and could not understand anything. Nevertheless, her tears did not stop flowing down her face. She could not accept the reality before her.

“Grandma! Grandma!” When Jessica was carried into the hearse, she wept sadly as she kneeled on the ground. Her sorrow was immense.

Connor brought Ellen to the crematorium in his car. It didn’t take long before the urn containing Jessica’s ashes was placed in front of Ellen. She hugged the urn to her chest, and Connor bought a burial plot for Jessica on her behalf. The urn was buried three days later.

Jessica had asked Connor to bring Ellen home with him, worried that Ellen would be depressed and scared to be all alone at such a young age. After all, there was nobody to take care of Ellen once she was gone.

Therefore, Connor brought Ellen home to retrieve her clothes before taking her back to his house. While he was driving on the road, he worried about his wife’s opinion regarding this sudden turn of events.

He quickly took the opportunity to contact Olivia when he stopped to buy a pack of cigarettes.

“What!? She’s going to stay at our house for a few days!? No way!”

“Olivia, Aunt Jessica just passed away. Ellie is just a child. She is scared and all alone. I promise that I will do whatever you want next time. Please just let Ellie stay for a few days!”

When Olivia heard his promise, she grudgingly agreed. “Fine! But only three days!”

Connor stopped for dinner with Ellen along the way. By the time they arrived home, it was already 10.00PM. Olivia had been waiting by the door and remained courteous to Ellen for Connor’s sake.

“Hey! You’re here, Ellie! Come inside quickly!” she greeted them warmly.

Ellen’s eyes were red and swollen from crying. Nevertheless, she greeted Olivia politely. “Aunt Olivia.”

“Alright, it’s very late. I’ve prepared a room for you. Come with me.” After saying that, Olivia led Ellen to the housekeeper’s room.
