Chapter 512 Telling Him About the Pregnancy (2)
"Look at your father."
James thought about how John looked this morning and felt uneasy.
But John didn't want Jessica to know about the past, and neither did he.
Because it would only burden Jessica with guilt and shatter all her admiration and dependence on John.
To ease Jessica's concerns, James said, "Didn't you say your dad wasn't doing well yesterday? Let's go see him together today, so you can feel a bit more at ease."
Jessica couldn't believe these words came from James.
After all, James had always looked down on the Evans family and never cared about John.
So, she never expected James to suggest visiting John.
James seemed to realize what she was thinking and said, "What's so strange about that? You're my wife, your dad is my dad. If he's not feeling well, isn't it normal for us to show some concern?"
Jessica's eyes welled up with emotion, and a warm feeling spread in her heart.
She cautiously asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
Yesterday, she had resisted his intimacy, and he had stormed out in disappointment.
She thought he wouldn't talk to her for a long time.
James sighed and said, "Rather than being angry at you, I'm more angry at myself. It's my fault our marriage is like this. If I had cut ties with Rose from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
Jessica felt even more conflicted.
Whenever James showed vulnerability or kindness, she couldn't bring herself to be truly heartless.
If one day she really left, would he be very sad?
She always felt hurt by him, but if she left with his child, wouldn't that also be a kind of hurt to him?
Jessica thought about many things on the way, even wanting to tell him immediately that she was also pregnant.
But what would telling him achieve?
It would just mean that her child and Rose's child would share the same father.
In the end, Jessica swallowed all her words and returned to the Evans family with James.
Louisa had always disliked Jessica, but this time, since James was with her, Louisa finally showed a smile and asked the maids to prepare a meal.
John didn't expect Jessica and James to come back together so late at night.
He was particularly surprised and a bit uneasy, fearing that James had said something to Jessica.
Fortunately, Jessica still seemed to know nothing.
She even cherished this moment.
Before she and James divorced, she had hoped that one day James and John could get along harmoniously.
Just like now, sitting together as a family, having a meal and chatting, was already a very precious happiness.
James rarely dined with the Evans family. He said to John in a calm voice, "Jessica mentioned that you haven't been feeling well lately. I asked my assistant to buy some supplements, and they'll be delivered later."
John was flattered and said, "You didn't have to go to the trouble. I'm doing fine. As long as you and Jessica are well, I have no worries."
Compared to John's state in his office this morning, he seemed much better now.
James felt a bit more at ease.
After all, John was so important to Jessica, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to John.
After dinner, James accompanied John to the study to play chess.
