Chapter 433 We'll Leave Jessica to You (3)
Louisa felt humiliated by her and gave her a sharp look, clearly displeased.
However, James chuckled softly and said to Jessica in a doting tone, "I'll listen to you."
He looked exactly like a man who was under his wife's thumb.
Jessica blushed deeply, not understanding why he had to speak to her in such an intimate tone in front of the Evans family, in front of John and Louisa.
Finally, after finishing the meal at the Evans family, Louisa wanted to keep James for tea.
"No, I have things to do back home. I'll take Jessica and leave now."
After James declined, he took Jessica's hand and prepared to leave.
John stopped them, looking deeply at James, and said, "Mr. Kelly, we're entrusting our Jessica to you."
There was an emotion in the eyes of both James and John that Jessica couldn't understand.
Especially John's tone just now, it even made James's heart sink slightly.
It felt like he was giving a final farewell.
Jessica felt a faint sadness in her heart and choked up, "Dad, what's wrong with you today? Why are you acting so strange?"
John smiled reassuringly and said, "It's nothing, just seeing my precious daughter all grown up makes me happy. It's getting late, you should head back!"
James looked at John seriously and said, "Please rest assured, I will take good care of Jessica."
His promise was firm and reassuring, putting John's mind at ease.
With that, James left the Evans family with Jessica.
Once in the car, Jessica was sullen.
James asked while driving, "What's wrong? The issues with the Evans Corporation are resolved, and you're still not happy?"
Jessica pursed her lips and said thoughtfully, "I just feel like my dad was acting strange today. He went to the Kelly Corporation to see you today, you two didn't argue, did you?"
James couldn't help but admire Jessica's sensitivity. He freed one hand to hold hers and said, "So, do you think I bullied your dad? Made him upset?"
Jessica didn't know what to say.
If James had really upset John, how could John have entrusted her to James?
Afraid that Jessica would dig deeper and possibly uncover the past, James reassured her, "Alright, you're always overthinking. Your dad has been through a lot with the Evans Corporation recently, it's normal for him to act this way."
Jessica felt inexplicably reassured by his words.
For some reason, she always wanted to believe him and subconsciously relied on him.
She gratefully turned her face to look at him and said, "James, thank you for helping my dad."
James smiled meaningfully and said, "You know, the thank you I want isn't just words."
Jessica caught his implication, blushed, and looked out the window, pretending not to hear.
James then said calmly, "Didn't grandpa also entrust me to you that day? And today, your dad entrusted you to me. So Jessica, what do you really think?"
Jessica's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him in disbelief.
Did he mean...
Remarry?
Her hand instinctively covered her lower abdomen. If they remarried, the baby would have a complete family.
Jessica remained silent, her eyelashes lowered, and asked quietly, "But Rose's child is gone, don't you blame me?"
