When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 861

Chapter 861 Self Respect

“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.

“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.

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