When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801 Figuring Out His Feelings 

“I think it’s best to let Mason see Jessica’s true colors for himself,” replied Cecilia. 

“How could that fool Mason possibly see through that pretentious woman?” Lucille was both anxious and annoyed. 

It was Lucille’s first time encountering such a situation. 

In truth, she had always felt that meeting Mason on a blind date was her rare shot at true love. 

Only then did she realize there was no such thing as pure, unpolluted love in this world. 

“Unless a man is that foolish, he wouldn’t fail to recognize a woman’s true colors.” 

Cecilia felt that some men simply reveled in the flattery of a pretentious, sweet–tongued woman. 

“Let’s wait for them to finish eating and see what Jessica will do next,” Cecilia suggested. 

“All right.” 

Lucille also calmed down, choosing to trust Cecilia. 

She was well aware that if she just rushed over, there was no guarantee she could outmatch Jessica. 

Moreover, upon hearing how Mason addressed Jessica respectfully as the daughter of the Quill family, it was clear that Lucille’s own family background fell short in comparison. 

She had made up her mind. If Mason turned out to be a jerk, she would break up with him. In the worst- case scenario, she’d just have to venture into the dating pool again in search of her actual true love. 

In the adjacent private room, Mason didn’t mention a single word about Lucille in front of Jessica. 

Instead, he simply ordered a few dishes and subtly shifted the conversation toward Cecilia. 

“What did Mrs. Rainsworth do at 

the office today?” asked Mason. 

“Oh, nothing much. She was just reviewing some conference documents.” 

While munching on her food, Jessica continued to criticize Cecilia, “Honestly, I don’t think my sister–in- law takes her job seriously at all. She spent over an hour just reading through a single meeting document. She couldn’t understand it and even felt annoyed by my presence. She even made me leave her alone.” 

Mason nodded and commented, “Pregnant women can have a lot of mood swings. You’ve really had a tough time.” 

Jessica shook her head and drawled, “It’s not hard. As long as I can help Nathaniel share some of his burdens, I don’t find it difficult at all.” 

After she spoke, she passed the bowl of dessert she had taken a bite from to Mason, who sat across from 

her. 

“Mason, give this a try. This dessert is so yummy.”

Pretending to be upset, Jessica asked accusatorily, “Are you rejecting me, Mason? I clearly remember when you first started hanging out with Nathaniel, you’d eat anything I’d taken a bite of when I came to see you.” 

Lucille was speechless with anger. Go to hell, Mason! 

To his credit, Mason stood his ground and explained, “Ms. Quill, that’s all in the past now. I’m engaged these days. It’s not appropriate for me to behave like this.” 

“Is she that strict with you? You’re not even her son,” Jessica complained. 

Mason chuckled and said placatingly, “You always speak your mind, don’t you? All right, let’s dig in.” 

He felt somewhat helpless. 

In his memory, Jessica was just an innocent young girl. He didn’t interpret her current actions as attempts to seduce him. 

After all, people tended to be prejudiced. When he first met Jessica, she was just in her teens. 

She was such a bright, innocent girl back then, and it was a great pity that her parents had passed away early.
