When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 769 Dip Your Hand In Hot Oil

Jessica’s face turned crimson with embarrassment. “Eli, stop making things up. I’ve taken a bath and I’m clean now.”

“Jon said that after touching poop, it can linger on your hands. You need to sterilize them at a high temperature,” Elliot explained.

Jessica asked, “And how do I do that?”

Elliot replied, “I’m not exactly sure. Maybe you should try dipping your hand in hot oil.”

Jessica was flabbergasted.

Cecilia had always regarded Jessica as incredibly shameless. Seeing her blush for the first time was quite a surprise.

She asked Elliot curiously, “Eli, what’s this about?”

Elliot briefly relayed to Cecilia about how Jessica had to clean the toilet earlier.

Cecilia instantly understood that her son was deliberately making fun of Jessica.

Eli knows how to clean his own bum at two years old, and he’s particularly meticulous about cleanliness. How could he have possibly soiled his pants?

She didn’t know why Elliot pranked Jessica like that, but she didn’t expose him. “I see. Jessica, your should clean up more.”

Jessica nearly scrubbed her skin off when taking a bath earlier.

She was both embarrassed and infuriated at the moment. “Yeah, I know, I’ve washed myself many times,” she said.

After what Elliot and Cecilia said, she dared not touch Nathaniel’s food..

Nathaniel didn’t need her help, either. The person who sent the food over had gotten everything ready for him.

“Mommy, why don’t you feed Daddy? It’s hard for him to eat by himself.” Elliot, worried that Jessica might try to feed Nathaniel again, urged Cecilia to do it.

Nathaniel remained silent, curious to see if Cecilia would agree.

However, she refused to do so, explaining, “Eli, your dad may be blind, but his hands are still intact. He doesn’t need to be spoon–fed.”

Elliot was rendered utterly speechless.

Since when did Mommy become so oblivious? Can’t she tell this woman’s eyeing her husband?

Of course, Cecilia could tell. She simply didn’t want to get involved.

After all, there’s no smoke without a fire. If Nathaniel could control himself, Jessica’s efforts to seduce him would be in vain. But if he couldn’t, even if I did drive Jessica away this time, there would be more like her in the future.

After the meal, Cecilia settled on the couch to rest..

When Jessica saw her lounging around with nothing to do, her mind raced to come up with ways to pick on her.

In truth, she had always harbored feelings for Nathaniel. The reason she never confessed was because she was young and timid back then, afraid of what people might say.

But this time, her grandfather had encouraged her to come.

Before coming, she had also learned many tricks to please a man.

Jessica began tidying up the house, busying herself with one task after another. Compared to Cecilia, who was lounging on the couch, she appeared diligent.

Cecilia observed her, amused and content.

While tidying up the house, Jessica made sure to create some noise so Nathaniel would know how hard she was working.

Unbeknownst to her, Nathaniel hated loud noises.

“What are you doing?” he asked, irritated.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Jessica promptly responded, “I noticed some dust on the window, so I’m cleaning it up.”

Nathaniel parted his thin lips and asked, “Are you a housekeeper?”

Jessica was taken aback. “Huh?”

“You can leave that to the housekeepers.” Nathaniel didn’t like interacting with ignorant people like Jessica. “You may leave now. Tell Old Mr. Quill that I appreciate his intentions.”

Jessica had initially believed that dining here meant she could stay. To her dismay, Nathaniel still wanted her to leave.

She quickly turned to Cecilia and said, “Did you say something about me to Nathaniel? I didn’t know any better when I was younger. If I’ve offended you, please don’t hold it against me. I’m here to take care of you now. Everything I said before was just childish talk.”
