Chapter 434 We'll Leave Jessica to You (4)
If he no longer blames her, will he accept her child?
James remained silent, neither blaming her nor forgiving her.
Because, up until now, Jessica didn't know that Rose's child never actually had the surgery.
At that time, when he rushed in, the doctor was just about to start, but he carried Rose out.
Now, Charles was already his man, so naturally, he wouldn't betray him in front of Gerald.
But Jessica knew nothing about all this.
He felt conflicted inside. Should he tell Jessica the truth?
But knowing Jessica, if Rose had his child, she would never willingly come back to him.
In James's silence, Jessica's hope gradually faded.
She wished he would say that everything was in the past and that he wouldn't blame her.
But he didn't.
Yes, after all, that was his biological child, forcibly aborted by Gerald. How could he not be heartbroken and resentful?
Jessica gave a self-mocking smile and softly said, "James, I don't blame you."
Before having a child, she couldn't understand that kind of blood connection and the difficulty of letting go.
But ever since she had this little life inside her, she seemed to gradually understand Rose and didn't resent James as much.
On the way, they each had their own thoughts.
James felt very heavy-hearted, especially after Jessica's words, "I don't blame you," which made his heart ache even more.
When they got back in the evening, James wanted to get close to her, but Jessica warily avoided him.
Now, she always thought about the baby inside her and didn't dare to do anything that might harm the baby.
She pushed against James's shoulders with both hands and said, "You said you wouldn't force me."
James swallowed hard, looking at the panicked Jessica beneath him, and hoarsely said, "I won't touch you, just want to kiss you, okay?"
Jessica was afraid that if she resisted anymore, he might get angry and force her.
So, she trembled and closed her eyes, offering her soft lips.
James's heart skipped a beat. He cupped her soft back and deepened the kiss.
A voice inside him screamed that he wanted her.
But reason told him to wait until Jessica was willing.
Even Jessica clearly sensed his physical reaction.
Fortunately, James didn't take it further. He restrained himself, got off her, and said in a low voice, "I'll go take a shower."
Jessica watched his back and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since The Evans Corporation was acquired, James had The Kelly Corporation's executives stationed at The Evans Corporation.
Although John was still the president of The Evans Corporation on the surface, in reality, all the power had been transferred to The Kelly Corporation.
And every day, he only needed to play with cats and dogs, with nothing important to do, not even needing to go to the company.
John knew that James was protecting him.
He was announcing to those who wanted revenge that The Evans Corporation was under The Kelly Corporation's protection, making them afraid to act rashly.
And he didn't need to go to the company, and his annual dividends wouldn't be any less.
