Chapter 520 No One Would Stay for Her (2)
Thinking of this, James said coldly, "Professor Howard, I'm back now. I'll take care of my wife myself. You can leave. Thank you for your concern over the past few days regarding my wife."
Nathan grew increasingly disgusted with James.
Not only did he not leave, but he also retorted mercilessly, "Mr. Kelly, you and Jessica are no longer legally related. You don't need to declare 'wife' in front of me to assert your dominance! And now that you're back, what difference does it make? Where were you yesterday when Jessica was in the most pain and despair?"
James was left speechless by his question, but he felt a lump in his chest that he couldn't swallow.
He hadn't expected that Jessica had already told Nathan about their divorce.
So, what did she mean by this?
Was she telling Nathan that she was single now, so he could think about her without any reservations?
Thinking of this, James became furious and said through gritted teeth, "So what if we're divorced? I'm still her ex-husband. Her father entrusted her to me before he died. And you, Professor Howard? What are you here for? A professor who should be a role model, but you're thinking about your student?"
The two men were about to clash, and Nathan, seeing James so arrogant, didn't want to hold back either.
He coldly retorted, "So what if it's a teacher-student relationship? Both are single. Who says a teacher can't like a student?"
James looked at him in shock.
So, he admitted it?
Nathan was truly shameless, daring to admit he had feelings for his female student.
Jessica was standing on the other side, not hearing what they were saying.
She just saw that James was not leaving and was afraid he would cause a scene at John's funeral.
She quickly stood up and walked towards James, saying coldly, "Leave. You're not needed here!"
James stood there awkwardly, feeling utterly humiliated for the first time.
His woman was driving him away in front of another man.
He felt utterly disgraced, but his attitude became even more determined.
He stared at Jessica with his deep eyes and said, "Since your father entrusted me to take good care of you before he died, I can't just walk away. At least, in your father's heart, he trusted me. Not this so-called teacher beside you!"
Jessica sneered, her eyes red with tears, and choked out, "So what? When I needed you, you weren't there. James, whenever I needed you, you were never there!"
At this moment, Louisa, who was not far away, saw this scene and trembled with anger.
She walked up quickly and said to Jessica, "This is your father's funeral, and you're here entangled with two men! If you don't care about your reputation, the Evans family does! If you're still thinking about romance, then get out of the Evans family. After all, you never belonged here!"
Jessica's slender body swayed.
She didn't want to recall what Louisa had said yesterday; she didn't believe it was true.
But Louisa said it again today.
Jessica couldn't deceive herself any longer.
She asked, "Make yourself clear. If I don't belong here, then where do I belong? What are you hiding from me?"
Louisa originally wanted to reveal her entire background, but with James present, she didn't dare to be too reckless and had to hold back a bit.
She coldly said, "Your dad is dead. There's no point in pursuing this further! Anyway, with your dad gone, there's nothing more to say between us. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"
After saying this, she leaned on her cane and slowly walked into the house.
