hapter 808 Are You Lying
Upon hearing this, Paula immediately stopped her. “Don’t you dare! If you dare tell Cecilia, I–I’ll die right in front of you.”
She could only resort to this as she didn’t know how to intimidate the caregiver anymore.
The caregiver was exasperated. “But you can’t keep deceiving Ms. Smith, can you? You should know that everything you have now is thanks to her. If you have any conscience left, you should tell her the truth.”
Paula knew that the caregiver was right, yet she was too scared to admit it. “She can find out the truth when I’m gone.”
She turned her head toward the window, falling silent.
Cecilia was mentally drained. When she arrived at Daltonia Villa, she found Jessica had returned as well. Unlike the night before, when she had been dressed for the club, Jessica was now wearing attire that made- her look like the dutiful daughter she once was.
The slap mark on Jessica’s face was still evident.
It was clear Lucille had struck her with considerable force.
“Cecilia, you’re back. I stayed out late because I sought advice from a friend on how to better care for children, specifically Eli. I wanted to improve, which is why I didn’t come home earlier. You’re not upset with me, are you?” Jessica asked.
Upon hearing this, Cecilia couldn’t help but ask, “Does your friend also have a child?”
“My friend is about your age, and her son is also just over four years old.” Jessica effortlessly spun a lie.
“Oh, you must have had a long day.” Cecilia just played along.
“No worries,” Jessica said, stroking her genuinely believing she could easily deceive Cecilia.

Even Elliot, casually enjoying his fruit nearby, picked up on the deception. “Aunt Jessica, I remember a

Jessica immediately withdrew her hand from her nose. What? Of course not.”
She picked up a glass of water beside her and took a sip!

Elliot calmly looked at her and added, “Oh, by the way, experts also that liars often use drinking water as a cover–up too.”
His remark rendered Jessica speechless.
She immediately put down the glass of water.
Seeing Jessica’s guilty demeanor, Cecilia found it oddly amusing.
Rather than wasting more time on Jessica, Cecilia settled on the couch for a brief rest.

Finished
Since becoming acquainted last night, the two had become friends who supported each other: Ceci, Mason still hasn’t told me the truth. Today, I’ve decided to stay overnight at the office to see if he would tell the truth.
After replying to Lucille’s message, Cecilia drifted back into sleep for a while.
She hadn’t slept well the night before, and the stress of work and the meeting with Paula had left her thoroughly drained.
Noticing Cecilia curled up asleep on the couch, Jessica couldn’t resist taking a photo and sending it to Elena.
Soon after, Jessica approached and nudged Cecilia. “Cecilia, wake up. Aunt Elena says you shouldn’t be sleeping anymore.”
Irritated, Cecilia opened her eyes.

Update new chapters please...
Thank you 😊 for the work...
Save us the distress from waiting or we are opting for others...
Hi, good morning Could you please send more chapters? To much books reading and I always forgot the story when it comes. All characters have the same name ( Cecilia, Nathaniel, Madaline, Fabian… )and lots of the names are similar in the same story, so I got confused when I don’t have all story already written. If at least you can send 10 chapters a day…. This story is as good as Mission to Remarry I can’t wait for finish it. But let’s have a great finish and a final chapter with one year of deepest love development. Thank you! Please,please, please!!!!...
What's going on? Why so few chapters?...
This chapter is completely useless!...
Why all chapters are not until the end? The new ones are never the continuation of the previous one. Also, Could you please do not use the "swnovel.net" as a water mark on the paragraphs? I use a listening device and those paragraphs are not readable....
More chapters, please 🙏...
What's going on? Is not Cassandra married? What is she doing in her mother's House?...
Waiting for more chapters...
