When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 866 A New Wallpaper

Elliot said casually, “I watched him unlock his phone before.”

Jonathan was speechless; he had thought there was some secret,

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.

“Sc*mbag daddy can’t see anyway, so he won’t say anything,” Elliot talked to himself.

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.”

The children she was carrying in her womb were her most precious treasure.

If something happened to them, she would make Jessica pay dearly.

Overwhelmed by her imposing demeanor, Jessica lowered her head. “I never wanted to harm you.”

Zachary had also come to realize the gravity of the situation.

If Cecilia had been bitten by the snake, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Ms. Quill, you really messed up this time. You need to reflect on your actions,” Zachary said.

Jessica lowered her head, biting her lip pitifully.

“I understand,” she responded softly.

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.

Jessica trailed behind the group, behaving exceptionally well to avoid being sent away once they returned.

She went over to help Cecilia. “Cecilia, be careful.”

Vivian pushed her aside. “Stay away, or you’ll push Ceci when you get the chance.”

Jessica had no choice but to obediently follow behind.

Cecilia indeed needed help when descending the mountain.

However, the path was smooth and it didn’t take long before they reached the inn below. Everyone then took a rest.

After having lunch there, they continued their descent down the mountain.

On the way back, everything went smoothly.

Vivian and Zachary arrived at the Sinclair Manor first. They brought Jonathan along.

The rest of the group made their way toward the Rainsworth residence.

Upon arrival, Mason pulled Lucille aside. “Lucy, would you like to come back with me?”

“No. I can’t. I just moved out. I don’t want to go back.”

Lucille had already made up her mind. She wouldn’t live with Mason again until they were married.

Seeing how persistent she was, Mason was at a loss.

“All right then. You have to call me every day, and you’re not allowed to ignore my calls, okay?” he said.

Lucille pondered for a moment. “That would depend on your performance. If you were to upset me again…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mason interrupted her, “I swear, I promise not to upset you again.”

Lucille was satisfied to hear that.

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?”

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.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

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.
