Chapter 777 Elena Is Coming

“Thank you. Cecilia,” Jessica said, her face instantly lighting up with joy. As she followed Cecilia inside, she didn’t forget to return the coat to the security guard and thank him.

Jessica, with her warm and welcoming demeanor, left a great first impression on everyone, be it those from the high society or the ordinary folks.

That was exactly Jessica’s intention–to gradually win over everyone around Cecilia.

Once inside Daltonia Villa, Jessica took her bag and headed toward the restroom. “Cecilia, I’m going to change into some dry clothes.”

“Okay.”

Both Elliot and the housekeeper were taken aback.

The housekeeper was concerned. I’ve kept Jessica standing outside for the entire day. If she’s really Mr. Rainsworth’s‘ relative, she might take revenge on me.

To Elliot’s surprise, his mother had actually invited trouble into the house.

After changing into a new outfit, Jessica greeted Elliot before heading to the kitchen.

“Can I assist you? I’ve previously trained with a famous chef,” said Jessica to the head chef in the kitchen.

The head chef had brought along two assistants. Upon seeing her, the two young men were so captivated that they couldn’t tear their gaze away.

Jessica thoroughly enjoyed this sensation. Without waiting for the head chef’s refusal, she began to help a young man wash the vegetables.

Seeing the situation, Elliot gently tugged at Cecilia’s hand.

“Mom, why did you bring her in?”

Upon hearing this, Cecilia didn’t reveal the true reason to Elliot, thinking he was too young to understand. She simply said, “Aunt Jessica has no place to stay, so she’ll be living here for a while.”

Inwardly, Elliot let out a sigh.

Mom is just too naive. How could she not see that Jessica is clearly here to steal away Dad?

It wasn’t that Cecilia hadn’t noticed. She simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with it as she had a lot on her plate already. As for Jessica, a pretentious woman who was pretending to be dense, Cecilia could deal with her later at her leisure.

After cooking, Jessica cheerfully assisted the housekeepers in serving the dishes and even exchanged greetings with the nanny taking care of Elliot.

“So you’re the one taking care of Eli, aren’t you? No wonder he’s so adorable. We really owe you one,” said Jessica with a smile.

The nanny was initially worried about being scolded. To her surprise, she was praised by Jessica.

“Ms. Quill, you flatter me. It’s because Eli is such a sensible child.”

Elliot silently watched the nanny interact with Jessica, whom he disliked. He was extremely unhappy.

Looks like you want your pay to be deducted.

When it was time to eat, Jessica served food to Cecilia and the others. After she was done, she stood at the side.

“Have a seat and eat,” said Cecilia.

“No, Cecilia. I’ve said that I’m here to take care of you, so I should behave like everyone else,” stated Jessica.

Her actions made her even more likable to the housekeepers. They firmly believed she was one of them.

Cecilia didn’t bother to persuade Jessica further. After all, she had asked Jessica to sit. If Jessica enjoyed putting on a show, then let her be.

At first, Jessica was standing there just fine. However, she soon took out her phone and went outside to make a call.

“Aunt Elena, you have no idea how adorable Eli is. I really like him. What? You’re coming over? That’s great! I’ll tell Cecilia not to eat first and wait for you to arrive. Okay!”

Jessica ended the call and reentered the room. She stopped Cecilia. “Cecilia, Aunt Elena just called. She’s coming over. Don’t eat for now and let’s wait until she arrives.”

Cecilia had always known that Jessica wouldn’t just stand idly by.

She

put

down her fork. “Okay, but when is she coming?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Oh, you’re unsure?” Cecilia gently rubbed her belly, “But you do know that I’m pregnant, right?”

“I know.”

Cecilia remained calm. “Do you know that pregnant women must eat at a regular timing? You don’t even know when my mother–in–law was coming over. How could you just tell me not to cat and just wait?”
