When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 854

Chapter 854 Zachary And Jessica

Nothing can be more distressing than running into someone you dislike when you're just trying to relax and enjoy yourself.

Seeing Jessica dragging a suitcase and approaching them, Cecilia felt her mood sinking to an all-time low.

How did she manage to find us?

Jessica's legs were on the brink of giving out. She had been searching for Cecilia and the others all night.

Had she not informed Nicholas and asked Nicholas to locate them, she might never have found Cecilia and her gang.

“Cecilia, I messaged you. Why didn't you tell me where you were?” Jessica first approached Cecilia, stealing a glance at Nathaniel and Zachary.

Zachary's here too?

“Sorry. There might have been an issue with my phone. I didn't see it.”

Of course, Cecilia had seen the message, but she wasn't foolish enough to reply to her message. Why would I tell Jessica where I was hanging out?

“I see.”

Jessica pretended not to mind. Glancing at Jonathan, who looked just like Elliot, her eyes lit up. “Are you Jonathan?”

Jonathan had heard Elliot speak of this woman before, knowing she was bad news and that she was not as innocent as she appeared.

“Yes,” he replied indifferently.

“What are you guys eating? Can you give me some? I'm like your sister.”

Sister?

Jonathan immediately retorted, “If you're like my sister, doesn't that mean you should call my mom your aunt and my dad your uncle?”

Jessica felt awkward. “I was just joking. I am your aunt.”

Jonathan, however, wore a face full of confusion. “I don't think Mommy has sisters, and neither does Daddy. How could you possibly be my aunt? Is your last name Smith or Rainsworth?

Jessica was left speechless. She never anticipated that a child barely four years old could demonstrate such clear and logical thinking.

Jessica shook her head. “Of course, I won't. You sure love making jokes. I'm not the same tomboy I used to be.”

“You're not? But you haven't even hit puberty yet,” Zachary said straightforwardly.

“Nonsense!”

The two engaged in playful banter.

Zachary was oblivious to the disdain and revulsion in the others' eyes.

Lucille tugged at Vivian's clothes. “Vivian, be careful. She used to behave adorably around Mason, pretending to be an innocent child.”

Vivian, enjoying the large cherries she brought with her, nonchalantly said, “It's okay once you get used to it.”

Lucille was confused. How can one get used to someone like her?

Vivian never really cared for Zachary in the first place. Furthermore, she was well aware of his reputation with women, knowing that he had been involved with quite a few. One more wouldn't make any difference to her.
