Chapter 384 No Longer Qualified to Sacrifice for Him (2)
"Rose, don't bring up the past anymore."
James interrupted her coldly, saying, "We are no longer who we used to be. People always need to look forward."
Rose pretended not to understand, smiling as she said, "My future includes you. The future for me and the baby depends on you."
James felt extremely depressed.
Rose persistently asked, "Will this year's birthday be the same as previous ones? No matter how busy you are, make sure to free up some time for me on this day."
James simply told the truth, "This year, I've already promised grandpa that I will spend my birthday with him."
A strange look flashed in Rose's eyes, and then she pitifully asked, "Is it really just grandpa? Won't it be too lonely for just the two of you?"
James paused and said, "Jessica will be there too."
Rose's heart sank heavily, and her hand hanging by her side clenched involuntarily.
Jessica was like her nightmare. Wherever she was, Rose could never find happiness.
Rose gritted her teeth in hatred but couldn't show it in front of James.
She could only say tearfully, "James, since we met, we've always celebrated each other's birthdays. This year, are you really so heartless to leave me alone?"
At this point, Rose suddenly thought of something and tentatively said, "Otherwise, I could come too, and join you? I think grandpa, being so ill, might find my pregnancy a piece of good news."
James rubbed his temples in frustration and said, "Haven't we discussed this before? You can't appear in front of grandpa because he absolutely won't accept you."
Rose grew increasingly jealous.
So, even though she was pregnant, she wasn't qualified to appear before Gerald.
But Jessica, a divorced woman, could comfortably enjoy the benefits from her ex-husband?
Rose could see that James had made up his mind; he wouldn't spend this birthday with her.
Leaving James's office, Rose couldn't help but shed tears.
Last year, they were so sweet together. James had promised her the position of Mrs. Kelly, and he wanted her to always be by his side.
But why now, Rose couldn't see any love in his eyes?
It's all because of Jessica!
Rose simply couldn't accept that James's feelings for her seemed to have been exhausted.
The day before James's birthday, Rose finally couldn't bear it anymore, unable to suppress her jealous and twisted heart.
Cardiology Department.
A nurse called out at the office door, "Jessica, someone is here to see you!"
When Jessica went out, she found Rose sitting in the wheelchair, waiting for her.
Jessica wanted to turn away without exchanging another word with he.
But Rose's wheelchair blocked her way.
Rose's expression was somewhat twisted, looking at her sinisterly. "Don't worry, I just have a few questions for you. It won't take long."
Afraid of people overhearing, Jessica went with her to the stairwell.
Jessica glanced at her watch and said, "You have only five minutes.When it over, I'm going back to work. Say what you need to say quickly!"
