NovelEnglishChapter 770 Win Elliot Over
Cecilia was eating sfruit and reading a book with Elliot when she heard Jessica mention her name. She
frowned. When have | ever complained to Nathaniel about her? It's been years since that incident, and | never
told Nathaniel a word about what Jessica said in private. | knew he wouldn't stand up for me; he'd just see it as
“What did you say?” Cecilia feigned confusion, asking calmly.
Jessica didn’t know what to say. “L..
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
askingif I've told Nathaniel about it? You could at least remindwhat you said. How am | to know if | ever
said it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJessica instantly fell silent. Her nails dug into her palms. “Cecilia, please letstay. | 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 beca housekeeper as Jessica.
“You should probably ask Nathaniel about this. | don’t need anyone taking care of me, and neither does Eli,” she
said.
Elliot agreed, “Yes, Aunt Jessica, | 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 letstay,” Jessica pleaded tearfully. “If you sendback, Grandpa will kill me. Before |
came, Grandpa toldOld Mr. Rainsworth had saved his life. Our entire family is indebted to the Rainsworth
family. If | can’t stay here and take care of you for life, then there's no point ineven being alive.”
Listening to her nonsense, Nathaniel did not sympathize with her at all.
“Stay i
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, “Cand help me.”
Cecilia was taken aback.
“Do | 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 embarrassing.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA blush crept up Jessica's cheeks, and she stepped back. “No, it's not like that...”
“Then you should go get ssleep. 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 adoresand my
brother.”
Jessica, noticing how hostile Elliot was to her, knew that she couldn't afford to rush things at the moment.
Since she decided to stay by Nathaniel’s side, she must first win Elliot's heart.
Hence, she reassured him, “Elliot, you're overthinking it. I'm just worried they might need my help. I'll head to
the guest room and rest right now. It's getting late; you should also head to bed.”
After finishing her sentence, she walked into the guest room and shut the door behind her.
Seeing that she knew her place, Elliot was finally relieved.

He headed upstairs and heard Cecilia's voice coming from one of the rooms. “Can’t you be gentle?”
