Chapter 539 Will Never Know Who the Biological Parents Are?
Nathan just gave her a disappointed look, said nothing, and walked past her, leaving the office.
Jessica watched him go, feeling incredibly sad.
Maybe no teacher would want a student like her, who got married and had a child while still in school, right?
Jessica shook her head, telling herself not to overthink it.
No matter if it was marriage or having a child, she wouldn't give up on her studies. She would prove to him with her hard work that she could balance it all.
Thinking about needing to finish work early for the marriage certificate, Jessica immediately threw herself into her tasks, wanting to get everything done quickly so she wouldn't delay such an important event.
This also reminded Jessica of the first time she and James got their marriage certificate.
Back then, she was so excited, but at the same time, filled with a lot of anxiety.
But this time, Jessica's excitement was no less than the first time, yet the previous anxiety had turned into a sense of security and happiness.
Thinking of this, everything seemed hopeful.
Jessica had always been very efficient at work, or maybe it was because she wanted to become his wife as soon as possible.
By 10:30 in the morning, she had finished everything.
She took out her phone, her heart beating a little faster, wanting to text James to come pick her up now.
Just then, her phone rang, and it was the Evans family calling.
Since John died, the Evans family had felt like a distant memory to her.
Looking at the caller ID, she thought of John, who used to always check in on her whenever she answered this call.
Jessica stared blankly at the ringing phone, unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
Finally, she pressed the answer button.
But instead of John's kind and gentle voice, it was another old, sharp voice.
"Jessica, you really are an ungrateful person! John was so good to you, and during his 'mourning period,' you didn't even show up. I was right about you; you don't deserve to be part of the Evans family!"
Hearing Louisa's scolding, Jessica was suddenly taken aback and felt a wave of guilt.
Yes, today was the seventh day since John's death, an important day.
In Ocean City, the custom is that a loved one's soul stays in this world for seven days after death before truly leaving it.
So, the 'mourning period' is especially important.
Jessica wished she could slap herself.
How could she forget such an important day?
John's body was barely cold, and she was only thinking about her happiness.
With that, Jessica rushed out, hailed a cab, and headed to the Evans family home.
John's portrait was hung in the living room, and Louisa had invited many pastors to pray for John. As soon as Jessica walked in, Louisa blocked her.
"You still have the nerve to come back?" Louisa sneered, "You don't care about your father or the Evans family. You have no right to be here!"
Jessica took a deep breath and admitted her mistake, "You're right, I forgot. You have every right to be angry. But just like you, I miss Dad a lot, and I want to stay here with him."
At that moment, a forceful push from behind nearly made Jessica fall.
Luckily, there was a wall beside her, and she managed to catch herself.
Turning around, she was shocked to see that Pearl and Joan had returned.
