Reborn to Flee My Fiance's Obsession (Fiona and Soren) novel Chapter 305

"Darling." By then, Elijah had no choice but to lower himself and try to coax her.

Rita looked at him and said nothing.

"Darling, Selina is obviously framing me. In the beginning, she was the one who seduced me first. Now she's putting that charge on my head. Darling, you have to help me." He sat down beside her and took her hand as he pleaded.

Rita smiled a little, then said, "If you hadn't fallen for her bait, how would she have ended up wanting to ruin you just because she couldn't get into the Wagner Estate? You brought this on yourself. Why shove all the blame onto somebody else?"

Even with her mocking him like that, Elijah couldn't work up a single complaint. He had already lowered himself as far as he could. "Darling, this is my fault. I've learned my lesson this time. There won't be a next time."

Rita looked at him and said nothing.

"Darling, even if you won't do this for me, you still have to think about the child," Elijah said. "If I end up taking the fall for this, what happens to Theo's future?"

Rita still didn't budge. "My father is furious about what happened between you and Selina too. As for whether he's willing to help you, that depends on how you conduct yourself."

This time, if she didn't rein him in, there might never be another chance.

And if not for their son, she would have gladly had him spend the rest of his life leaning on the Niven family for everything.

Even when his father and mother came to plead for him, Rita didn't loosen her stance by so much as a word.

By the time it all dragged on, more than half a month had passed.

When Zephyr heard about it, the corner of his mouth lifted.

This was obviously Fiona borrowing someone else's hand to kill.

If Selina hadn't been stirred up by her, that would have been a miracle.

It seemed Fiona had more tricks than he'd first given her credit for.

A Miss Fiona like that was a lot more interesting.

A few days later, outside the entrance to Everscent Hall, Fiona saw a young girl getting bullied. It looked like she'd just run out of Everscent Hall.

The girl stumbled and fell right in front of Fiona's carriage.

Fiona leaned out to look, and the two of them met each other's eyes on the spot.

The girl's eyes were full of pleading, bright with tears.

Something in Fiona's expression shifted.

This was Esme, the maid who had stayed by her side for three years.

In this life, they had finally met again.

"You little minx, you still dare run?" One of the burly men at the side drove a hard kick into her.

Esme curled up with her head in her arms and cried without a sound.

But her eyes stayed open, fixed straight on Fiona, as if Fiona were the only thing left that could pull her out.

Right now, Esme was only thirteen or fourteen.

That young face overlapped with the maid in Fiona's memory, the one who used to spend every day trying to make her laugh.
