When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 856

Chapter 856 Annoying Jessica 

“Everyone else hasn’t eaten yet.” Ever since Mason discovered that she was a scheming woman and not the innocent sweetheart he thought she was, he found her disgusting. 

She’s way too selfish. 

“Then why don’t you two roast some more? We still have plenty of ingredients left.” Jessica didn’t seem to mind. When Sven and Mason did not do as told, she took matters into her own hands. She placed all the grilled skewers into two plates, preparing to take them all away. 

Mason walked up to her and unceremoniously took the two plates from her hands. “If you’re hungry, buy your own ingredients and cook them yourself,” he said, his face cold and impassive. “I’ll deliver Mr. Rainsworth’s portion over to him. You don’t need to worry about it.” 

Cecilia and Lucille approached with Elliot and Jonathan. 

Observing Mason’s attitude toward Jessica, Lucille forgave him for dining with Jessica in private. 

Lucille stepped forward, gently nudging the stunned Jessica aside. She grabbed some meat and vegetable skewers from Mason’s plate and handed them to the two children. 

Elliot, due to his illness, could only enjoy a little bit of barbecue before eating the meal that Cecilia had specially prepared for him. 

“Thank you, Ms. Campbell, Mr. Sanders, and Mr. Sven.” Even the kids were more polite than Jessica.

Had she been in the city, Jessica wouldn’t have been interested in these skewers that she considered to be junk food. 

Yet, she was now in the mountains, and in her quest to find Nathaniel and his group, she hadn’t eaten anything. Moreover, the only things she had brought with her in her suitcase were cosmetics and clothes. 

The tantalizing aroma of barbecue wafted through the air, making her stomach grumble with hunger. 

Zachary, clueless, walked over and asked, “Ms. Quill, why aren’t you eating?” 

Jessica lowered her head. “I didn’t bring any ingredients. Mason told me to bring my own and cook it myself.” 

“Since when did Mason become so stingy? Come on, eat up. How much could these possibly cost?” Zachary handed Jessica some skewers. 

Vivian was sitting next to Cecilia and Lucille, watching Zachary. She shook her head. “As long as a woman

“It’s okay; it’s just some food. We wouldn’t want her to return to the Quill family and tell the elders that we’ve been treating her poorly, leaving her with nothing to eat,” Cecilia said. 

“You’re right.” Vivian nodded in agreement.. 

The trio began gossiping. 

Jessica understood that in this situation, only Zachary would come to her aid.
