Chapter 416 This Time, It's Your Turn to Take the Initiative (2)
"Really?"
James raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and asked, "Am I that scary?"
Jessica quickly shook her head, but the fear in her eyes still betrayed her.
James gazed at her with deep eyes and said, "Jessica, I don't want you to fear me, I want you to love me! Do you understand?"
Jessica's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how he could demand her love after pushing her to this point.
Her heart was full of bitterness and grievances, almost extinguishing the love she once had for him.
So, she couldn't promise him anything.
Jessica simply changed the subject and asked, "When will you release the funds to our Evans family?"
James felt a surge of frustration stuck in his chest, unable to vent.
Jessica left him for the Evans family. Coming back to him was still for the Evans family!
James sneered and said, "When you know how to put your heart on me, I'll give your dad however much he wants! Rest assured, I've already given the Evans Corporation some benefits, at least you won't go bankrupt for now."
Jessica clenched her fists tightly, her long eyelashes hiding the hatred in her eyes.
Did his words just now mean he saw the Evans family as beggars?
But when she opened her mouth, Jessica only said softly, "Thank you."
Originally, James was in a pretty good mood because Jessica had come back today.
But her ungrateful attitude just now made him inexplicably angry again.
"Eat!"
He threw down the words angrily and walked towards the dining room.
Jessica quickly followed him and sat opposite him, feeling uneasy.
Even Olivia felt that Jessica's return this time seemed more like a guest visit, not like coming back to her own home.
Seeing James's unpleasant expression, Olivia quickly prepared to serve soup and dishes to ease the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, James glanced at Jessica and said, "You do it!"
Olivia awkwardly said, "It's not appropriate to let Mrs. Kelly do these things, is it?"
James said coldly, "She never considered herself Mrs. Kelly! Since that's the case, it's no big deal for her to do some servant's work."
"It's okay, Olivia, I'll do it."
Jessica obediently stood up, walked to his side, and imitated the servants' usual way of serving him.
Seeing her aggrieved and submissive look, James's heart softened involuntarily.
He knew she had been pampered since childhood and wasn't used to doing such serving tasks.
After Jessica served him the soup, he said, "Clumsy, go eat your own meal, I might as well do it myself."
Jessica felt extremely wronged. She had done as he said, so why was he still making things difficult for her?
Sitting back in her seat, Jessica ate silently.
The atmosphere at the dining table was silent and oppressive.
At this moment, James spoke, "Don't work night shifts with Nathan anymore. Tell your supervisor, or I can talk to the hospital leadership. They will give me this face."
Jessica's heart sank. Suppressing her dissatisfaction, she calmly said, "I will keep my distance from Professor Howard in the future, but he is the most authoritative professor in cardiac surgery, and I still want to learn from him."
James frowned tightly and said angrily, "No one else can teach you but Nathan, right?"
"You!"
Jessica cried out in frustration, biting her lip and saying, "Why are you so overbearing? So in the future, I won't work or study, just stay at home as your lover? Can't interact with any men, is that what you mean?"
James followed her words and said, "That's right! That's exactly what I mean! You stay at home; even if you do nothing, I can support you. I don't need you to show your face! Remember, from now on, pleasing me alone is enough."
