<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot said casually, “I watched him unlock his phone before.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jonathan was speechless; he had thought there was some secret,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot changed Nathaniel’s phone wallpaper and lock screen to the photo of them embracing. It was much better than the default wallpaper he previously used.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Sc*mbag daddy can’t see anyway, so he won’t say anything,” Elliot talked to himself.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Not far from them, Cecilia had pulled away from Nathaniel’s embrace. She looked at the disheveled Jessica and said, “Regardless of whether you wanted to harm me or save me, I will never forgive you if you hurt my babies.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The children she was carrying in her womb were her most precious treasure.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">If something happened to them, she would make Jessica pay dearly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Overwhelmed by her imposing demeanor, Jessica lowered her head. “I never wanted to harm you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary had alsoe to realize the gravity of the situation.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">If Cecilia had been bitten by the snake, the consequences would have been unimaginable.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ms. Quill, you really messed up this time. You need to reflect on your actions,” Zachary said.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica lowered her head, biting her lip pitifully.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I understand,” she responded softly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After the incident with the snake, everyone felt uneasy staying on the mountain. So, they had their breakfast and as soon as the sun rose, they descended the mountain.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica trailed behind the group, behaving exceptionally well to avoid being sent away once they returned.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She went over to help Cecilia. “Cecilia, be careful.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian pushed her aside. “Stay away, or you’ll push Ceci when you get the chance.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica had no choice but to obediently follow behind.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia indeed needed help when descending the mountain.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, the path was smooth and it didn’t take long before they reached the inn below. Everyone then took a rest.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After having lunch there, they continued their descent down the mountain.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">On the way back, everything went smoothly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian and Zachary arrived at the Sinir Manor first. They brought Jonathan along.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The rest of the group made their way toward the Rainsworth residence.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon arrival, Mason pulled Lucille aside. “Lucy, would you like toe back with me?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“No. I can’t. I just moved out. I don’t want to go back.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lucille had already made up her mind. She wouldn’t live with Mason again until they were married.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Seeing how persistent she was, Mason was at a loss.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right then. You have to call me every day, and you’re not allowed to ignore my calls, okay?” he said.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lucille pondered for a moment. “That would depend on your performance. If you were to upset me again…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before she could finish her sentence, Mason interrupted her, “I swear, I promise not to upset you again.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lucille was satisfied to hear that.</font></font>
Meanwhile, Elliot grabbed hold of Nathaniel’s hand and shook it back and forth, pleading, “Daddy, please just stay here with me and Mommy.”
He said, “Go ahead inside. I have something to discuss with your mother.”
Elliot could only nod. “Okay then.”
As he walked inside, he noticed Jessica standing aside and asked, “Aunt Jessica, are you waiting for my father to send someone to take you home?”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Jessica was taken aback, responding with a smile, “I just got back. I’ll tidy up my luggage first, then take a break.”
She was thinking about stalling for as much time as possible.
If she were to return to the Quill family now, her uncles, aunts, and cousins would undoubtedly ridicule her.
Jessica stepped into the residence after speaking.
Only Cecilia and Nathaniel were left outside.
“A gynecologist will be here soon to examine you,” Nathaniel said solemnly.
Cecilia was frightened, and they didn’t know if it had any impact on her unborn children.
Cecilia quietly thanked him, “Thank you.”
When Nathaniel was about to leave, Cecilia suddenly grabbed his arm.
