Chapter 513 Telling Him About the Pregnancy (3)
Louisa watched the unbelievable scene unfold and couldn't help but feel a bit more favorable towards Jessica.
She tentatively asked, "Why is James in such a good mood today? Not only is he willing to go back to your parents' house with you, but he's also being so filial to your dad?"
After all, James didn't even show up for her own birthday party, which was a big deal.
Jessica's tone carried a hint of melancholy, "Maybe he wants to be a good husband now?"
But fate is so unfair. When you've walked too many wrong paths and finally choose the right one, the person waiting for you at the end of the road is no longer there.
Jessica had thought countless times, if their relationship was just between the two of them, how great would that be?
Louisa advised, "You silly girl, you just don't know how to seize the moment! In my opinion, James does care about you. You should hurry up and find a way to have a child to keep him. If it were Pearl, she would definitely be smarter than you and might have already secured James."
Jessica's delicate eyelashes drooped slightly, and she didn't respond.
She knew she was too weak.
In the past, she knew how to fight for what she wanted.
But she didn't want to fight for a love that wasn't pure and clean.
In the study.
John had already won two chess games.
He smiled and said to James, "I know you're letting me win on purpose! James, I feel at ease leaving Jessica in your hands!"
You have to understand, that the old James wouldn't even look at the Evans family, let alone play chess with him and intentionally lose.
But for Jessica, James had indeed made many concessions.
James furrowed his brows and said, "I came over tonight just to tell you that I'll handle that matter. You don't need to carry the burden in your heart, and you certainly don't need to live in constant fear."
John's voice choked up a bit, "But I can't ignore my daughter! If I shamelessly forget my past sins, my daughter will become the target of revenge. One day, she will have to pay for my mistakes. I can't be that selfish!"
James pressed on, "Tell me, is Michael forcing you to do something? If he's threatening you or making you do something, tell me, and I'll take care of it."
"No, he hasn't forced me to do anything."
John forced a smile and said, "Mr. Kelly, you want Jessica to be well too, right? If that's the case, then don't worry about me. Only when Lawyer Watson has vented his anger will he truly let Jessica go? I can't bear to see my daughter end up like Lily. That would be worse than death for me."
Half an hour later, James came out of the study.
Jessica had been experiencing severe morning sickness and was always tired lately.
Now, she had already dozed off on the couch.
James walked over quietly and picked her up.
Jessica opened her sleepy eyes, her face flushed and hot, blinking at James.
"Isn't it a bit early to be this tired?"
James said indulgently, "But it's been a while since I held you. You seem to have gained some weight."
Jessica instantly woke up and quickly looked away to hide the panic in her eyes.
She whispered, "Then put me down, I'll walk by myself."
James kissed the corner of her lips and said, "It's okay, I like holding you like this."
