Chapter 1096
Chapter 1096 I Will Come Over Tonight
Jessica wasn’t quite sure how she managed to escape. She was utterly terrified, completely taken aback by Nathaniel’s sudden outburst of anger.
However, she felt that her thoughts for the day were fine. As long as she communicated well with Nathaniel and didn’t cross his boundaries, he wouldn’t harm her.
Regrettably, the words she spoke afterward might have led Nathaniel to believe that she was deceiving him.
Jessica was in pain, but she couldn’t help but wonder what on earth was going on.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
At that moment, Elena called her.
“Jessica, how’s Nathaniel doing these days?”
Jessica lied. “Aunt Elena, right now Nathaniel only listens to me. Whenever the butler or the housekeeper takes care of him, he gets angry and lashes out. But when I’m the one looking after him, he doesn’t.”
“Really?” Elena couldn’t help but feel elated. “What about Cecilia?”
“Aunt Elena, I think it would be best if Cecilia didn’t come here anymore. Last night, I even heard that she was hit.” Jessica feigned concern for Cecilia. “Isn’t Cecilia still pregnant? Taking care of Nathaniel is already inconvenient for her. Besides, I don’t think she’s putting her heart into it. She leaves for work early in the morning and doesn’t return until late at night. Once she’s home, she just goes to sleep.”
After listening quietly, Elena couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows.
“I thought she had changed, but I never expected her to treat me and Nathaniel so superficially.” Perhaps she couldn’t bear the thought of breaking up with Nathaniel. That’s why she decided to pretend to take care of him, all in a bid to win my favor.
Elena advised Jessica to take good care of Nathaniel, assuring her that as long as she treated Nathaniel well, she would never be disadvantaged.
“Aunt Elena, I’m in love with Nathaniel. No matter what changes come his way, I’ll take good care of him.”
“All right.”
Elena wanted to express her gratitude when a call from Cecilia came through.
She hadn’t reached out to Cecilia yet; unexpectedly, it was Cecilia who ended up calling her.
With a furrowed brow, Elena said, “I’m hanging up now.”
She ended the call, then answered the one from Cecilia
“What’s the matter?”
Compared to a few days ago, Elena’s tone and manner of speaking were noticeably colder now. Cecilia didn’t pay much attention. After all, Elena’s primary concern had always been her unborn
“Mom, I want to discuss something with you.”
Elena was impatient. “What is it?”
“I was thinking of taking Nathaniel out for a stroll over the weekend,” Cecilia said.
Because Jessica had been stirring the pot behind the scenes, Elena didn’t let Cecilia explain. “You’re well aware of Nathaniel’s current state. If he hurts someone else or himself when he’s out and about, what then? Don’t just act impulsively.”
At that moment, Cecilia finally noticed something.
“Mom, did someone say something to you?”
Elena didn’t beat around the bush. “If you’re genuinely good to Nathaniel, you won’t have to worry about others talking behind your back.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but laugh.
“Mom, don’t just believe what you hear. See it for yourself. If you think I’m not treating Nathaniel well, you can come over tonight.”
It would be an opportunity for Cecilia to show Elena the injuries on Nathaniel’s body.
Without wasting any words, Elena responded, “I was planning to visit. Since you’ve said so much, I’ll come over tonight.”
“All right.”
Cecilia ended the phone call.
When she was on the phone with Elena, she had already arrived at the office.
That day was the time for the end–of–month summary and Cecilia still had to deal with matters related to the accounts.
Cassandra had finished her tasks, but lately, it was unusual that she spent very little time at the office, often leaving soon after she arrived.
At that time, Cecilia was unaware of Cassina’s circumstances, let alone Cassandra’s decision to thoroughly. embarrass this impostor claiming to be the heiress of the Jamieson family.
