When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 770

Chapter 770 Win Elliot Over 

Cecilia was eating some fruit and reading a book with Elliot when she heard Jessica mention her name. She frowned. When have I ever complained to Nathaniel about her? It’s been years since that incident, and I never told Nathaniel a word about what Jessica said in private. I knew he wouldn’t stand up for me; he’d just see it as me being troublesome. 

“What did you say?” Cecilia feigned confusion, asking calmly. 

Jessica didn’t know what to say. “I…” 

In Nathaniel’s presence, she dared not repeat the words she had said before. 

Yawning, Cecilia remarked, “You’re so weird. You can’t even recall what you’ve said in the past, yet now you’re asking me if I’ve told Nathaniel about it? You could at least remind me what you said. How am I to know if I ever said it?” 

Jessica instantly fell silent. Her nails dug into her palms. “Cecilia, please let me stay. I promise to take good care of you and Nathaniel. And Eli, too. I’ll take good care of him as well. I’ll do a better job than the housekeepers.” 

Cecilia had never encountered anyone so eager to become a housekeeper as Jessica. 

“You should probably ask Nathaniel about this. I don’t need anyone taking care of me, and neither does Eli,” she said. 

Elliot agreed, “Yes, Aunt Jessica, I don’t need your care! 

Jessica’s expression turned awkward, as she hadn’t anticipated Cecilia turning the question back to Nathaniel. She had assumed that Cecilia would help her as long as she begged her. 

“Nathaniel, please let me stay,” Jessica pleaded tearfully. “If you send me back, Grandpa will kill me. Before I came, Grandpa told me Old Mr. Rainsworth had saved his life. Our entire family is indebted to the Rainsworth family. If I can’t stay here and take care of you for life, then there’s no point in me even being alive.” 

Listening to her nonsense, Nathaniel did not sympathize with her at all. 

“Stay in the guest room for tonight, and head back first thing tomorrow morning.” He couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on Jessica. As he got up to head upstairs, he said to Cecilia, “Come and help 

me.” 

Cecilia was taken aback. 

“Do I need to repeat myself?” Nathaniel asked impatiently. 

Cecilia, displeased, didn’t want to help him. However, Elliot urged, “Mommy, go and help Daddy.” 

Left without a choice, she rose and followed him upstairs. 

Jessica, too, wanted to head upstairs to see if she could lend a hand in any way, but before she could, Elliot stood in her way. 

“Aunt Jessica, my parents have gone upstairs to sleep. Are you planning to follow them? How

A blush crept up Jessica’s checks, and she stepped back. “No, it’s not like that…”

“Then you should go get some sleep. I’ll be sleeping with my parents, and if you dare disturb us, I’ll tell my grandmother.” Elliot, worried that Jessica might not give up, added, “My grandmother adores me and my brother.”
