“Jessica, did Old Mr. Quill not teach you self–respect?” Nathaniel parted his lips and spoke. His voice wasn’t loud, yet it cut through the air like a sharp knife. 

Jessica was instantly stunned, frozen in place. 

“Nathaniel, please don’t get me wrong. That’s not what I meant…” 

Nathaniel had never criticized her before out of consideration for Fabian, but now it seemed she had no sense of shame and needed a wake–up call. 

“If that’s not what you meant, you should watch your behavior and be decent,” he said. 

Jessica didn’t mind being criticized by women, but being chided by the man she loved caused her face to flush in embarrassment. 

Knowing that she might have acted too hastily, Jessica immediately clarified, “I’m sorry, Nathaniel and Cecilia. My parents passed away early, and no one taught me these things. I’ll stay outside tonight and keep vigil for you two. I won’t sleep.” 

With that, she ran off, acting as if Nathaniel and Cecilia had bullied her. 

Cecilia admired him. She was about to go out and check when Nathaniel, perceptive as always, noticed her movements. He asked, “Where are you going?” 

“I’m going to take a look.” 

“It’s raining outside. Don’t go out. There’s nothing worth seeing,” Nathaniel said. 

“Is it raining?” Cecilia stuck her hand out and found out it was indeed drizzling. 

Although Nathaniel was now blind, his hearing had become much better than that of an average person. 

Cecilia, however, had to rely on her hearing aid. She poked her head out to see Jessica standing in front of Zachary, seemingly sobbing and complaining to him. 

Elliot and Jonathan had already lain down when they saw Nathaniel send Jessica away. Watching the scene unfold, their opinion of him noticeably improved. 

“You’re right, it’s raining. Let’s sleep.” 

Cecilia lay down on the side, with the two kids sleeping between her and Nathaniel. 

Elliot still refused to give up. “Mommy, I want to hear a scary story.” 

The chilling wind howled relentlessly outside, and with no lights to break the darkness, Cecilia found it all the more terrifying. 

Despite her fear, she began telling the story. “Once upon a time…” 

While Cecilia was telling a scary story, Jessica had followed Zachary into his tent. There wasn’t even a hint of moonlight probably due to the rain.

“We can’t share a tent. Why don’t you head down to stay in the inn at the foot of the mountain since it’s still early.” 

It would probably take a little over two hours to reach the foot of the mountain if they descend now. 

“But I’m scared to go alone.” Jessica pursed her lips.
