Chapter 475 Explain Clearly (1)
How could James possibly reveal Michael's secret?
Moreover, this matter also involves Jessica's father, so he has to keep his mouth shut because he doesn't want Jessica to get hurt in any way.
Therefore, he slightly shook his head and said, "I just heard that people in the business world don't have a good opinion of Adam. I'm afraid Lily might lead you astray."
Jessica didn't think much of it and smiled, saying, "You're overthinking it! Lily is the best to me, and Uncle Adam is great too. It must be those competitors maliciously slandering the Stewart family."
James forced a slight smile and said, "I hope so."
On the way back, Jessica took out her phone several times and opened Lily's Facebook, but then put her phone away again.
Seeing this, James found her quite interesting and asked, "Weren't you in a hurry to tell her just now? Why are you hesitating now? Could it be that you actually listened to me and decided not to meddle?"
"Of course not!"
Jessica said gloomily, "You have no idea how much Lily likes Jacob. Jacob went abroad three years ago, and whenever Lily misses him, she goes to visit him, but he has never come back to see her. I should have realized it back then. I should have reminded Lily not to take him so seriously. If I rashly tell her about this, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it."
James agreed, "So, you shouldn't be the bad guy. Even though you have a good relationship with her, if you tell her something like this, she will be upset with you. After all, everyone cares about their pride."
Jessica suddenly looked at James for a long time, as if she had something to say.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
James felt a bit uneasy under her gaze.
Jessica asked thoughtfully, "Is it true that none of you men can stay faithful?"
As soon as she asked this, the atmosphere in the car became awkward.
Jessica regretted it a bit. Why did she suddenly ask him such a sharp question?
What had happened couldn't be changed, so what was the point of asking? It would only make both of them feel worse.
After an awkward silence, Jessica forced a smile and said, "I was just joking. You don't have to answer that."
But unexpectedly, James looked at her deeply and said seriously, "If I could go back in time, I would never let anyone come between us."
Jessica felt a faint pang of sadness in her heart.
Unfortunately, there are no "ifs."
She turned her face to look out the window, not wanting to continue such a heavy topic.
But unexpectedly, James said, "Jessica, let's get remarried."
Jessica was stunned and looked at him, her eyes filled with surprise and hesitation.
James held her hand and said softly, "Do you remember your promise? You said you would stay by my side. Now our relationship is known to everyone, Jessica, you are destined to be mine. Do you understand?"
Jessica looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and then asked calmly, "What about Rose?"
James's eyes changed slightly, and his tone became a bit somber as he said, "I won't let her interfere with your life. She will stay abroad from now on."
Jessica appeared calm on the surface, but inside she felt deeply disappointed.
What was she hoping for?
No matter how far their relationship went, he would never completely sever ties with Rose.
His biggest concession was merely to keep Rose abroad.
