NovelBarChapter 768 Stay The Night
Roughly eight years ago, around the twhen Cecilia and Nathaniel had just gotten married, Elena brought
Jessica to Daltonia Villa. Back then, the young lady appeared radiant and friendly.
She approached Cecilia and chatted with her when the latter was still adjusting to her new life.
Even now, Cecilia vividly remembered how utterly nauseating her words had been.
They were alone at that time, and she said, “Cecilia, you're not as pretty as the woman Nathaniel used to date.
Nathaniel adored his ex-girlfriend and pampered her. It’s such a shthat she hails from a less fortunate
family. Otherwise, she would've married Nathaniel. They even took a couple’s photo before...”
Jessica ran her mouth like an innocent child.
Back then, Cecilia loved Nathaniel. She couldn't quite put her feelings into words upon hearing Jessica mention
Nathaniel and Stella's past, even going as far as to compare her to Stella.

Before she left, Jessica even said, “Cecilia, please don’t share what | told you with Nathaniel. He'd be upset with
me. He doesn’t like it when | mention his ex.”
Looking back now, Cecilia thought Jessica was an utterly disgusting woman.
She had thought she would never cross paths with Jessica again. Surprisingly enough, the latter showed up
again.
I'm no longer the pushover | used to be!
Noticing that Cecilia didn’t seemed to mind her taking a bath here, Jessica rushed over to her and linked arms
with her, saying with feigned affection, “Cecilia, | miss you so much.”
Cecilia pried her hand away, ignoring her enthusiasm.
She questioned Nathaniel, “Why did you bring Eli over?”
At that moment, she didn’t care at all whether Nathaniel was with Jessica or not. Her only concern was her son.
Nathaniel was puzzled. Since when did | bring Elliot over?
Immediately, Elliot stepped forward, interrupting Cecilia, “Mommy, can we stay the night here with Daddy? |
miss him so much and miss the times we used to snuggle up together as a family.”
The boy broke out in a cold sweat, realizing their family was teetering on the brink of collapse. How can this
family function without me? This vixen has finished bathing, but Mommy and Daddy's on the verge of arguing.
Cecilia bent over to explain, “Eli, now’s not a good tfor Daddy. Let's go home.”
Jessica, noticing that Cecilia and Nathaniel were both ignoring her, stepped forward and asked, “Cecilia, are you
and Nathaniel arguing? Have you guys split up?”
She continued feigning ignorance, behaving nonchalantly.
Cecilia still didn’t pay her any attention. She said to Nathaniel, “I'm bringing Eli back home.”
Nathaniel, who originally wanted her to take the child away, changed his mind after observing her indifferent
demeanor. “You should stay here for the night.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, Cecilia, you should stay. I'm here, so you can askto do anything. | cto be at your service.” Jessica
wore a fake, sycophantic smile.
Cecilia scoffed internally. This woman’s so shameless.
Elliot, too, grasped Cecilia's hand and pleaded, “Please, Mommy, | want to stay here with Daddy.”
Cecilia could disregard Nathaniel and Jessica, but she could never ignore her son.
“All right,” Cecilia agreed.
Elliot finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jessica won't be able to pull any tricks as long as Mommy and | are here.
Before long, someone sent dinner over.
Jessica got the table ready right away. “Nathaniel, what would you like to eat? I can help you with that. | can
even feed you.”
Elliot looked at his mother, who helped herself to two plates of food, one for herself and another for Elliot.

Exasperated, Elliot interjected, “Aunt Jessica, your hands still smell. It's better if Mommy feeds Daddy.”
