When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 899 Truly Ruthless

After Jessica’s car accident, Cecilia realized just how ruthless she was.

She was willing to disregard her own life and was clearly not as foolish as she appeared on the surface.

When Jessica heard Cecilia agree to let her stay, she stopped knocking her head.

“Thank you, Cecilia, Nathaniel. Once I recover, I will certainly take good care of you.”

“No need to take care of us. Grandpa is right. You are our relative, and just a guest here,” Cecilia said calmly.

Jessica pressed her lips together. “Cecilia, you’re so kind. I used to think that if Stella were my sister–in–law, she would be more generous than you.”

This woman truly knew how to hit where it hurts.

Once Niel had arranged everything, he did not linger. Once Elliot return, he looked at him and then went back to Rainsworth Manor.

Elliot did not like Niel.

He thought Niel was not as good as George.

Sure enough, when he saw Jessica, he knew that Niel was here to stir things up.

“Aunt Jessica, you’re here at our house again,” he said, gazing at her with his huge eyes.

Jessica smiled. “Yes, Eli. From now on, I will be with you every day. How about that?”

“Sure,” Elliot agreed immediately, then added, “Can you take me to kindergarten tomorrow? The kids in my class want to meet my aunt.”

“Of course.”

Jessica was eager to spend more time with Elliot.

She knew that by winning over the two children, she could more easily integrate into the Rainsworth family.

The two agreed in private, and it was unbeknownst to Cecilia and Nathaniel.

Night had fallen.

Nathaniel naturally followed Cecilia into her room without Elliot’s insistence this time.

“Why are you coming in with me?” Cecilia asked in confusion.

After all, during the period of his amnesia, he had been sleeping alone.

Nathaniel stepped forward. “To sleep, of course.”

“Don’t you have your own room?” Cecilia replied.

To her surprise, Nathaniel misunderstood and reached out to grab Cecilia’s arm. “In that case, let go to my room. My bed is bigger. That way, you won’t feel cramped.”

Cecilia’s stomach had been growing day by day and now was slightly rounded.

“That’s not what I meant. Cecilia’s face instantly turned red as she tried to pry his hand away but couldn’t “Then let’s sleep here.”

Nathaniel bent down and picked her up, heading toward the bed. Once he reached the edge of the bed, he carefully set her down, and lay beside her, pulling Cecilia into his arms.

“Tomorrow, I’ll have someone redecorate my room.”

Cecilia was puzzled. “Why?”

As she spoke, she tried to pry Nathaniel’s hand away as she was unable to get used to sleeping this way.

“Because that will be our master bedroom, not just my room. Tomorrow, you can tell the decorator to design it according to your preferences,” Nathaniel replied.

“No need…”

Before Cecilia could finish refusing, Nathaniel hugged her even tighter.

His voice was a bit hoarse. “I had a confrontation with Calvin before, and he retaliated. Do you really want me to sacrifice my life for him?”

Nathaniel might not remember everything clearly, but he distinctly recalled Cecilia saying that he was not as important as Calvin.

He had thought things through. Calvin had saved Cecilia’s life, and he wasn’t jealous at all.

“I didn’t mean it that way.” Cecilia was somewhat out of breath from being held so tightly, “Can you loosen up a bit? It’s too suffocating.”

Nathaniel reluctantly loosened his hold slightly.

Though he didn’t say anything, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

What is so good about Calvin? She’s still holding a grudge against me. I must get Mason investigate Calvin’s dirty secrets!
