When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 858 I Think They All Dislike Me

“You!” Jessica stomped her foot, acting pitiful.

“What’s your problem? What I do has nothing to do with you. Besides, your family has ties with the Rainsworth family, not the Sinclair family. If you have a problem with me, you can have Zachary confront me!” Vivian would never tolerate such a shameless woman.

Jessica, left speechless, turned to Cecilia and hoped to gain her support. “Cecilia…”

Of course, Cecilia would choose to take her best friend’s side.

Acting as if she didn’t hear Jessica, she chatted with Lucille.

All three of them ignored Jessica.

Jessica could only bring the skewers over to Nathaniel and the others. She offered Nathaniel some, but the latter turned her down, so she approached Mason and Sven.

“Mason, I was wrong. Please don’t be mad at me anymore. I’ve grilled these for you,” she said.

Without even sparing her a glance, Mason said, “I’m sorry, but I’m already full.”

Jessica felt incredibly awkward as she offered the food to Sven, “Mr. Sven, would you like to try some? They are quite tasty.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“No need,” Sven responded coldly.

Facing repeated failures, Jessica turned her attention to the two children.

Before she could even approach them, she heard Elliot say, “Aunt Jessica, we don’t want any either.”

She brought the skewers back to Zachary.

Zachary found it odd. “Are they all full? Should we keep grilling?”

“It’s fine. Let’s grill more. We can have it as a late–night snack,” Jessica said, looking rather pitiful.

Immediately, Zachary noticed her listless demeanor. “What’s wrong? You seem unhappy.”

With her head hung low, Jessica shed tears. They came unbidden, rolling down her cheeks. “Zachary, I don’t understand why, but I think they all dislike me and are all against me. I feel like I’ve been isolated.”

Zachary glanced around. “Are you sure you’re not overthinking? If they all dislike you, maybe it’s time to consider whether the problem lies with you.”

Despite Jessica’s beauty, Zachary wasn’t entirely under her spell; he still had some sense left,

Jessica was instantly rendered speechless.

“Perhaps. Nathaniel is still kind to me,” Jessica explained.

“Yeah. Even though you act like a boy, you’re not bad–looking. It’s perfectly normal for women to not like you since you’re pretty.” Zachary had a knack for comforting others. With just a few words, he managed to

After everyone had eaten their fill, Zachary stopped grilling.

Instead of spending time with the girls, he approached Nathaniel and the others, chatting and drinking with them.

Meanwhile, the three girls there were having a great time.

Elliot and Jonathan enjoyed themselves, too; Elliot even started a live stream.

“Hey, it’s been a while,” he greeted his viewers.

As soon as he logged on, a multitude of fans flooded into the live room.

Fan A: Jon, darling! We’ve missed you so much!

Fan B: Yeah, why didn’t you start a live stream yesterday?

Fan C: Jon, are you on a mountain now? There are so many redbuds.

The chat room was teeming with fans who were incredibly generous, showering Elliot with gifts.

Elliot, delighted by their support, stood in front of the screen and spoke in a sweet voice. “I miss you all too. Today, I came to Redbud Hill with my mommy and daddy.”

The fans called him affectionate nicknames, sending him kisses, so much so that Jonathan, who was reading nearby, shuddered in disgust.

He gently nudged Elliot, who pressed mute and asked, What is it, Jon?”

“Is this how you manage your fans?”

“Yeah! You said they are my gods, so of course, I have to treat them well.”

Jonathan was at a loss for words, but he couldn’t deny that what Elliot said was true.

As Elliot resumed his live stream, a face suddenly barged into the camera, stealing the spotlight.
