Chapter 778 Go Hungry
When faced with Cecilia’s question, Jessica yed dumb. “Can’t pregnant women go hungry?”
She apologized in a naive tone, “I’m sorry, I had no idea.”
Cecilia knew she was ying dumb and continued eating with her head down.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
It was Jessica’s business that Elena wasing.
A while ago, the doctor had examined the fetus and said that the pregnancy was not too stable.
The doctor had also advised that Cecilia needed to eat regrly. If she were to go hungry, it could likely harm the baby’s development.
Cecilia had a weak stomach.
Elliot also noticed Jessica ying dumb. “Mommy, don’t me Aunt Jessica. She’s never had a child, so of course she doesn’t understand.”
He looked at Jessica, then continued speaking, “Aunt Jessica, are you having trouble finding a husband?”
Jessica’s expression changed rapidly. “What?”
“You look like you’re over thirty, right? You seem older than my mom. Is it because no one likes you, so you can’t find a husband? And that’s why you’re not pregnant yet?”
Jessica clenched her fists.
She held back her frustration, “Eli, I’m only twenty–four, a few years younger than your mom.”
“Huh?” Elliot couldn’t believe it. “But you look even older than my mom. Do you not know how. to take care of yourself? Do you want me to ask my mom to teach you? I often hear on television that there are no ugly women in the world, onlyzy ones. So, you better not be toozy, or else it’ll be even harder for you to get married.”
The people around were amused by what Elliot had said.
Jessica had never felt as embarrassed as she did today.
This is all because of that infuriating brat! There are countless people trying to pursue me. Of course, I can get married easily!
“Eli, I don’t want to get married. I just want to stay here and take care of you, Cecilia, and Nathaniel”
Although Jessica wasn’t particrly clever, she was more patient than any other rich heiress.
Cecilia also admired her. Despite being constantly teased by Eli, Jessica could still remain so calm, which was something Cecilia couldn’t do.
“People who generally say they don’t want to get married, are often the ones who can’t get married,” said Elliot.
The housekeepers surrounding them were nearly on the verge of bursting intoughter.
Jessica, as beautiful as she was, was described as old and unattractive by Elliot.
If it weren’t for her desire to marry Nathaniel, Jessica would have wanted to tear this child apart right then and there.
Elena had said she woulde over. However, due to some matters, she ended up noting.
Jessica had been waiting for Elena toe for dinner for three hours, so she hadn’t eaten anything. She was famished.
She could only call Elena again. “Aunt Elena, are you on your way?”
“Oh, I was upied earlier and it slipped my mind. It’s toote now, so I won’t being over. We can talk about it tomorrow.”
After Elena finished speaking, she hung up the phone, leaving Jessica stunned on the spot.
At that moment, Jessica truly regretted her decision. Why did I wait for Elena? I’m so hungry.
After taking a bath, Cecilia and Elliot had already returned to their room to rest.
Left with no choice, Jessica ventured into the kitchen alone. However, upon opening the refrigerator, she found it devoid of any food or meals.
The housekeeper reminded her, “The groceries are all air–shipped first thing in the morning. Are you hungry?”
Somewhat embarrassed, Jessica gave a nod.
“I am a bit hungry. Do you have anything else to eat?”
The housekeeper shook her head. “No.”
Jessica was left in shock. If there was no food, would I just starve?
She hadn’t eaten since she left Seabay Vi that morning.
“Go to sleep. You won’t feel hungry once you’re asleep,” said the housekeeper, patting her shoulder gently.
On the surface, Jessica was all smiles. However, inwardly, she really wanted to swat away the housekeeper’s plump hand.
“Okay.”
The following day, Jessica was in the kitchen early in the morning, eating without any regard for
