Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 170

Ch-169

“Mrs. Olivia Addison, why are you so kind to me?” Jessica asked.

Olivia raised a brow when she heard Jessica’s words. She just gave a smile to her.

“I am old enough to see what are people thinking inside their hearts. And as for now… you are just the kind of person who wants to be someone with lots of money. In that process, you lost everything like a pathetic person. Now… when you realized your mistake there is no one beside you,” Olivia said.

Jessica just nodded her head. She can’t deny her words… in fact, she was right.

“How could you help me?” Jessica asked.

“You can stay with me,” Olivia said.

“I am sorry I can’t do that. I am already indebted to you for taking care of me,” Jessica said.

“Then what do you want to do, Child?” she asked kindly.

“Do some job. Leave this country. And live a peaceful life. If I can I want to live all alone in an island. But that can’t happen, right?” Jessica said.

Olivia smiled at her.

“I have a son. He got married four years ago. But his wife died in an accident a year ago leaving a child behind. He couldn’t digest the fact and buried himself in work to get over her memories. But the child was left alone with an old nanny. But that nanny was too old to work. So… why don’t you be a care taker for the kid? You will receive a salary, food, and accommodation. And as for me… I can’t go there due to a few reasons.” she said.

Jessica fell into deep thought.

“Can I get a day time to think of it?” Jessica asked.

“Sure…” Olivia said.

“Also…” Jessica wanted to say something.

“Yes? Go on,” Olivia said with a smile.

“Can you let me be discharged the day after tomorrow?” Jessica asked.

Olivia thought for a while before nodding her head.

Jessica gave a small smile.

Jessica repented a lot for what she did. She started being kinder to everyone. Even the caretaker that Eleanor appointed to her was apprehensive to her for the first few days but as days passed even she started talking to her like a good friend.

Her caretaker came inside and looked at her with an excited face.

“Why are you happy?” Jessica asked.

“You found a job!” she said.

“I don’t know… but I want to take this. But… still, I never took care of a child. What if the child suffers because of my lack of knowledge,” Jessica said.

“Just go there. And from the ma’am’s words. He must be four to five years old. It means he can mostly take care of himself. All you have to do is sit beside him when he was doing homework. Feed him on time with a complete full diet and provide healthy food. And ma’am is a doctor. You can take a diet plan for the kid from her and start a new life,” her caretaker said.

Jessica just nodded. After thinking for a long time, she decided to take it up. All she needs to do was… earn some money to take care of herself, have full meals every day and some place to sleep. That’s all.

After that she sorted out everything, she fell into a deep slumber.

Next day….

Eleanor came back with her tantrums and sarcastic comments. But Jessica said nothing after she deserved those. She smiled at her. Eleanor was so annoyed wanted to leave.

“Eleanor, thanks for everything and sorry for everything,” Jessica said. Eleanor was stunned for a second but she rolled her eyes at her.

“Please come tomorrow,” Jessica said.

“Why?” Eleanor asked feeling comprehensive at her behaviour.  But Eleanor knew that Jessica changed a lot. She wanted to come too. Eleanor could see her old best friend was resurfacing. The one with a pure heart, kind and loving.

Eleanor just nodded her head when she has faced Jessica’s heavy silene.

That day itself… Jessica accepted Olivia’s offer and fled to a different country not even saying goodbye to anyone. She left two letters there. One was for Eleanor and the other was for the Caretaker.

Next day…

Eleanor came only to find that Jessica left for once and all.

Opening the letter, Eleanor started reading it.

[Hi Dear friend,

I am leaving. This is so awkward for me to say at this time. But… you know… despite everything you helped me. You tried hard to keep the child safe but you or anyone couldn’t save the child. I know… my doom is coming soon. But my child is my sunray. I always wanted to start afresh with my child but I couldn’t. I am sorry for everything. Thank you for everything.

A small piece of advice from me… when you have a child on your own. Cherish it. Don’t let your man get rights on him. Cedric Emerson has things that were hidden from the world.

Stay safe, healthy, and happy.

With lot’s of happiness, love, care, hate

Your evil-hearted ex best friend

Jessica.]

Eleanor realized that Jessica was trying to sow discord even when she was departing. So she crumbled the letter and threw it away.

But for some reason… she decided to keep it with her. She picked the crumbled paper and kept it in her purse safely.

————————-

Present….

Eleanor now understood the contents of the letter that Jessica wrote to her. Jessica mean every single word she said.

Cedric has things that he hid from the world which no one knew.

She came out of her thoughts when Myna placed a hand on her shoulder. Eleanor gave a lipped smile to her.

Her hands automatically went to her stomach and hugged it. He child… what was she going to do when there was really a child in her stomach?

What if her father or brother or Cedric doesn’t want her child?

[You can persuade your father and brother. They will understand you.] her heart said.

Eleanor nodded at her heart.

[What about Cedric? He is the father of the child. He has the right to know about it.] her mind argued with the heart.

[But… he doesn’t care about her. He hates her. What if he hates the child and wants to get rid of it. This would be unfair to her. And on the point… she would be the one to carry the child for nine months. She would be the one who would be breaking her twenty-one bone during her labor. She would be the one who would suffer from morning sickness and all pregnancy side effects. Not him! He raped her and left his sperm inside her before leaving her. And this child… it is always hers and would be hers and it should be hers.] her heart argued with the brain without giving it a chance to retort.

[But you do know… she offered herself to him willingly that night.] her brain came with a strong retort after thinking sometime.

[If he wasn’t going to leave her… and was a bit understanding she wouldn’t have done that. Now… he has no right to claim the rights of a father.] her heart said.

Eleanor felt annoyed and asked both of them shut up and wait for the results before arguing with each other. Both the heart and brain turned silent and nodded their heads to her.

After some time, it was their turn to go inside. Eleanor was feeling so nervous. But she gathered her courage and went inside. Even Katherine was feeling nervous and accompanied Eleanor. But the moment she went inside her phone. She apologized to Myna and Eleanor and bid her bye to them before leaving. Myna was kind of relieved that Katherine left. Despite, Katherine was a stranger she doesn’t want her to know it. She doesn’t know but something was wrong with her. For some odd reason, she looked too familiar. It’s just that she couldn’t pinpoint what was so familiar with her.

The doctors drew some blood to check the blood levels. And they did some other tests. They were asked to wait for two hours to get the results.

Katherine understood that Myna doesn’t want her to be with them. After all, she was a stranger to them. She wondered how they would react when they get to know she was Cedric’s sister. She first started this game of hide and seek and now she can’t even get herself out of this place.

She was sure when the thing comes out everyone would be shocked as hell.

From a far, Katherine could see Eleanor was too nervous about the reports. Katherine doesn’t know what was going in Eleanor’s mind but she knew she wasn’t calm.

Just then Katherine saw that the nurse came with the reports and everything.

Eleanor and Myna stood up with nervous faces. Eleanor unconscious held Myna. Katherine felt that if this goes Eleanor might faint. But she has to know it nor or some other time. So, she doesn’t want to spoil it.

Eleanor smiled brightly when she heard nurse’s words but it faltered the very next second as if she realized something.
