SWNOVELS Chapter 762
Chapter 762 Who Are You
Elliot turned to meet the pretty face of a woman he didn’t know.
The woman was dressed in a tracksuit, her hair pulled back into a ponytail, and her gaze was soft and gentle.
Elliot glanced back at the entrance once more, confirming that the door number was correct. Is this woman the vixen Daddy’s been hooking up with?
“Ma’am, are you the owner of this place?” he asked tentatively.
Jessica shook her head. “No, this is my cousin’s place. I came to find him.”
With that, she carefully observed Elliot. “You’re not Nathaniel’s son, are you?”
Ah, so she’s his relative. A sense of relief washed over Elliot as he said, “You guessed right.”
“Wow, what a coincidence. I thought I had the wrong place. My name is Jessica Quill. You can just call me Aunt Jessica.”
Jessica Quill? Why does this name sound familiar?
He caught a whiff of the perfume on Jessica, which made him uncomfortable. “Aunt Jessica, could you please put me down?”
Jessica refused to let him go. “Let me hold you a bit longer.”
Disgust filled Elliot’s eyes as he struggled to break free.
Jessica could only put him down and rang the doorbell.
“Who is it?” asked Nathaniel.
“Nathaniel, it’s me, Jessica. I came specifically to see you.” Worried that he wouldn’t open the door, she added, “Eliott’s here, too.”
Elliot asked in confusion, “Aunt Jessica, how did you know my name?”
“Grandpa announced you and your brother’s return in the family group chat. I was there too. during All Souls‘ Day. I saw you and Jonathan before,” she explained.
Realization dawned on Elliot. No wonder I find her familiar. I don’t have Jon’s exceptional memory, or I would have recognized her.
They chatted at the door, waiting for Nathaniel to open it, but he never did.
The security guard said to the two of them, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Rainsworth isn’t seeing any
guests.
Jessica was stunned. She had gone to great lengths to finally find out Nathaniel had moved here only to be rejected.
Elliot was shocked, too. Daddy doesn’t even want to see me?
“Could you please talk to Nathaniel and get him to open the door? I’ve come all the way from Drocver. Plus, it’s cold outside. Elliot is here, too. What if he gets frostbite?” she said.
Elliot pretended to cough.
The security guard, having heard that Nathaniel’s son was out in the cold and was worried he might fall sick, reported to Nathaniel again.
Based on the security guard’s explanation, Nathaniel believed Elliot was really suffering from frostbite and let him in.
Jessica followed him inside.
As they made their way to the living room, she couldn’t help but ask, “Elliot, why are you locked.
out, too?”
Elliot sensed something fishy. Lifting his gaze toward Jessica, he didn’t provide an answer. Instead, he asked, “Aunt Jessica, you were locked out, too, weren’t you?”
Jessica was at a loss for words. “I’m a guest. By the way, does your mother not live here?”
That sounded like a casual question, but Elliot had a feeling that Jessica’s motives were anything but ordinary.
“Of course she lives with my daddy,” Elliot replied without hesitation.
A glint flickered past Jessica’s eyes.
She was contemplating what to say upon seeing Cecilia, but to her surprise, she found Nathaniel sitting alone on the spacious couch.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come?” The man’s voice rang out.
Just as Elliot was about to respond, Jessica spoke up first. “Nathaniel, when did you tell me not to come over?”
Nathaniel paused. “Who are you?”
