Chapter 453 Killing with Praise (3)
Or perhaps, his mother was no longer alive.
But either of these situations would be enough to shatter James's hopes and break his heart.
After all, if his mother had deliberately avoided him for over twenty years, he should be even more heartbroken.
James seemed to know what Jessica was thinking. He said bitterly, "Maybe she's no longer alive, or maybe she has a new family. She might not even remember she has a son."
Jessica didn't know how to comfort him; it seemed that all words of comfort were pale.
Because she had never experienced what he had.
She could only patiently stay by his side, letting him know that she was there for him and hadn't left.
After a long time, Jessica gently said, "I believe your mom always remembers she has a son. Maybe she was just too deeply hurt by your dad to come back. Perhaps she's thinking of you, watching over you from a place you can't see."
James smiled, stroked her hair, and said, "I'm not a child anymore. Are you saying these things to make me happy?"
Jessica looked at him seriously and said, "I really want you to be happy."
James held her hand, kissed her fingertips, and said in a low voice, "Jessica, I only have you. Stay by my side forever, okay?"
Jessica's heart tightened, and her eyes showed a complexity he couldn't understand.
She also wanted to stay by his side, to be with him through thick and thin.
But in what capacity could she stay by his side?
Once Rose gave birth to his child, they would be a family of three.
And would she, like Linda, become the third party who destroys someone else's family?
No, she didn't want that!
Hearing no response from Jessica, James's tone became urgent. "Jessica, why aren't you saying anything? You haven't answered me. Tell me, will you always stay by my side?"
Jessica was silent for a long time before she softly said, "I don't know."
The next second, James turned her face and kissed her hard.
His kiss was like a storm, sweeping through her mouth, urgent and rough.
It felt like he was punishing her for giving him the answer he least wanted.
Jessica was forced to endure his punishment but did not resist.
Maybe at times like this, James couldn't find any other way to vent.
Feeling Jessica's obedience and gentleness in his arms, James's kiss gradually softened but grew deeper.
Jessica felt like the air in her chest was being sucked out by him before he finally let her go, still unsatisfied.
James's gaze was intense as he stared at her and said, "Jessica, I won't allow you to leave me, do you hear?"
Jessica was forced to respond with a soft "Mm."
Afraid that James would see through her reluctance, she quickly changed the subject and brought out the letter.
"This just arrived. It's a letter from your father and stepmother suing you."
Jessica grew increasingly worried about him and said, "Aren't you good friends with Lawyer Watson? Let's find him. He must have a way to help us win the case."
This time, James didn't want to find Michael.
When he acquired The Evans Corporation, he had already offended Michael.
Michael's grudge was like a vendetta, and as a friend, he shouldn't interfere.
In fact, he should help Michael and avenge him.
But when it came to Jessica, he still stood by The Evans family.
