When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel 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.

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.” <i>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.</i>

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?”
