expression remained unchanged as he said, “Let her be.”
The housekeeper left.
a did not expect Jessica to be so persistent. She continued eating her breakfast, paying no mind to it.
After breakfast, she brought Elliot to kindergarten.
A light drizzle fell from the overcast sky, and heavy clouds loomed, signaling the approach of a heavier downpour. As they stepped outside, a servant held an umbrella over them. With just a glance, Cecilia spotted Jessica at the doorway, drenched to the bone, kneeling in the rain.
Jessica noticed them too. The rain made the normally warm April day feel like the dead of winter. Her lips had turned a purplish blue from the cold. Hope flickered in her eyes as she saw Cecilia, much like a drowning person reaching for a lifeline. “Cecilia, please,” she begged, her voice trembling. “Let me stay. I’ll‘ do anything. If I leave here, I have nowhere to go. My grandfather… if he sees m turn, he’d break my legs.”
Cecilia stayed composed, her expression unreadable. She stepped in front of Elliot protectively and
blocked his view, saying, “Let’s go.”
Jessica was disheartened, not expecting Cecilia to still refuse to help her when she was in this miserable
state.
Desperation clawed at her as she knelt and grabbed the hem of Cecilia’s clothes. “Cecilia, are you really going to let me suffer like this? I’ll do anything. Please, just let me stay,” she pleaded, her voice breaking.
She was acting like it was Cecilia’s fault for refusing to let her stay, though it was clearly Nathaniel’s idea.
The housekeepers who watched this unfold didn’t say a word, but they thought Cecilia was too cruel for not letting her cousin “stay” and help. It’s not like they’re poor and their house has no extra space.
“Let me go!” At that point, Cecilia no longer cared about what others think.
Jessica refused to let go. Clutching onto her pants with one hand, she groveled at Cecilia’s feet. “Cecilia, please have mercy on me. My parents are no longer alive, leaving me an orphan. Besides my grandfather, no one pays any attention to me in the Quill family. They all wished I was dead. All I wanted was a place to call home.”
Cecilia looked over her shoulder and didn’t see Nathaniel come out. She wondered if he was aware of the situation.
She instructed the housekeeper, “Go and get Mr. Rainsworth to come out.”
“What?” The housekeeper hesitated.
To Cecilia’s surprise, the housekeeper refused to heed her command.
Elliot would be late for school if they didn’t leave right away. Moreover, Jessica’s behavior was a bad influence for the boy.
