Chapter 432 We'll Leave Jessica to You (2)
She didn't know what she meant to James at that moment.
But hearing John say that, she was still very grateful for everything he had done for The Evans Corporation and herself.
Louisa was also extremely happy to see the matter resolved.
For the first time, she showed a kind face to Jessica, feeling that raising this granddaughter wasn't in vain.
At least, in the future, The Evans Corporation would have James as a strong backer.
So, she quickly said to Jessica, "Jessica, you must treat Mr. Kelly well in the future. Also, come back often to learn some cooking skills from me. Be virtuous, and men will like you."
Jessica frowned awkwardly and said, "Grandmother, I've already divorced James."
Even if she hadn't divorced, she didn't want to win his favor by mistreating herself.
Louisa's face immediately darkened, and she said, "Even if it's for your father and our Evans family, you should be sensible! Otherwise, your father really raised you for nothing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, John said sternly, "Mom, I've said it before, as long as Jessica is happy, I will support her in whatever she wants to do! The Evans Corporation may be struggling now, but we're not at the point of selling our daughter!"
Jessica felt both touched and warmed by John's words.
Louisa, on the other hand, felt a bit fearful.
She had almost let slip Jessica's true background.
Fortunately, John interrupted her, his eyes full of warning.
John kindly said to Jessica, "Don't take your Grandmother's words to heart. I promise, we won't trouble you with this again."
"It's okay, Dad. The Evans family is in trouble, and as a member of the Evans family, I should do something for the family."
Jessica smiled at John, easing the awkwardness, "I'm hungry, let's eat."
At this moment, a maid came over and said, "Mrs. Evans, Mr. Evans, Mr. Kelly is here to pick up Miss Evans."
Louisa immediately showed a look of joy, thinking that the big benefactor had arrived and should be well entertained.
She said excitedly, "Quickly invite Mr. Kelly in, let's have a meal together."
Although Jessica was somewhat displeased with Louisa, James had indeed helped the Evans family, and they should invite him for a meal.
So, she personally went out to welcome James in.
James quite enjoyed Jessica's obedience and initiative.
He originally didn't want to dine with the Evans family, but since John and the others insisted, he stayed for Jessica's sake.
Both he and John acted naturally, not bringing up past events or showing any dissatisfaction with each other.
This atmosphere made Jessica feel much more at ease.
Louisa asked the maid to bring out some fine wine that had been stored for years, but James politely declined.
He said calmly, "We're all family, no need to be so formal. I'm driving today, so I won't drink."
Jessica was a bit surprised and looked at him.
Usually, James was arrogant and looked down on small families like the Evans family. When had he ever considered them as a family?
But today, he said just that.
Louisa was even more flattered and said eagerly, "It's okay, we're happy today, have a few more drinks. I'll have the family driver take you home later."
Jessica actually didn't want James to drink, after all, alcohol is harmful to the body, and he already drank a lot during social events.
So, she took the wine glass from Louisa's hand and set it aside, saying, "Grandmother, he said he won't drink. Besides, alcohol isn't a good thing."
