Chapter 508 When Will You Accept Me? (2)
"But..."
Jessica stammered for a long time without making any sense.
She only knew that if James forced her, the baby in her belly would be in danger.
She was so anxious that she was about to cry, her eyes turning red.
Seeing this, James's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
With a layer of disappointment in his voice, he asked, "So, you resist me this much? Have you never thought about starting over with me?"
Jessica was cornered by his relentless questioning and could only remain silent, not daring to meet his stern and sharp gaze.
James finally let her go, nodded, and gave a self-mocking smile, "I know your answer now. But if that's the case, why take wedding photos? You're wasting your feelings and mine!"
After saying that, he grabbed his coat and stormed out.
The moment he left, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
Jessica held back the bitterness in her heart but did not regret her decision.
She knew she would not accept James's proposal to "share a husband" with Rose!
Since that was the case, it was better to make things clear now.
After all, Gerald was already dead, and Kelly Corporation had been completely taken over by James.
She seemed to have no reason to stay by his side anymore.
Fortunately, there was still a little life in her belly to accompany her in the days to come.
The next day, Jessica went to the hospital's teaching department to cancel her leave and then returned to her department.
Nathan saw her return, and his usually unsmiling face showed a rare hint of a smile.
He gently asked, "Have you taken care of everything at home?"
"Yes, it's all taken care of."
Jessica nodded and apologized, "I'm sorry, Professor Howard, for taking such a long leave and delaying a lot of work."
Nathan smiled and said, "Now that you're back, focus on your work. After all, you're about to apply for graduate school."
Jessica was silent for a moment, then looked at Nathan and said, "Professor Howard, last time you mentioned that you could take me on as a student. Is that true?"
"Of course."
Nathan's tone was very affirmative, "You have talent and are willing to work hard. I believe any teacher would like a student like you."
Jessica hesitated for a long time before cautiously speaking, "Actually, I have an unreasonable request. I heard that you have a research team abroad. If I get accepted as your graduate student, could you send me abroad?"
"Hmm?"
Nathan looked at her in confusion, "Why? Your family is here. If you go abroad alone, won't your family be worried? Besides, you have a family."
Jessica said bitterly, "You don't need to worry about that. I've already divorced him, so I have the right to choose my own path."
In fact, she was too embarrassed to tell Nathan that she just wanted to stay far away from James.
With time, the connection would slowly fade.
Nathan felt she had some unspeakable difficulties, but as a teacher and a man, he couldn't pry too much.
So he said, "Prepare well, and I'll consider your proposal."
Jessica gave him a grateful smile and said, "Thank you, Professor Howard."
