Chapter 77 James Actually Changed for Her
Despite James's cold attitude, Rose didn't feel awkward at all.
She even suggested, "By the way, I misunderstood Miss Evans last time and caused her a lot of trouble. How about we invite her to dinner today?"
Around them, many girls started imagining a love story between the handsome, wealthy CEO and the gentle dancer. And this dancer was really so gentle!
Jessica's eyes filled with hurt and disappointment.
So, everything he did just now was to show off in front of Rose.
It wasn't for her at all.
Her heart, which had been fluttering, cooled down.
Of course, James wouldn't let his wife and his lover sit together for dinner. He looked at Jessica and asked knowingly, "Are you joining us for dinner?"
Jessica sneered, "I have plans with someone else, so I won't disturb you."
She turned silently, leaving with dignity, not wanting to appear too embarrassed in front of them.
As she passed through the crowd, she heard many people praising how well-matched Rose and James were.
Some even said to her, "Jessica, your sister-in-law is so beautiful. She and your brother are a perfect match!"
Kylie, who had been watching for a while, sensed something was wrong.
Seeing Jessica so downcast, she stepped forward and cautiously asked, "Are you okay, Jessica?"
"I'm fine." She forced a smile, just wanting to leave this place as quickly as possible.
Kylie caught up with her and said in a deliberately light-hearted tone, "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner. You can eat whatever you want. But it can't be too expensive because you know my allowance is a bit tight."
Jessica didn't have much of an appetite.
But she didn't want to appear too weak in front of others, as if her world had turned gray without James.
So, she suggested, "How about we go for Mexican food? The place by the school gate."
Kylie smiled, "Sure, let's have that! When you're feeling down, you need to eat something spicy and have some Coke."
On the other side, James sat in the car, his gaze somber.
In that situation just now, he couldn't go after Jessica or do anything to her.
He had only ever said that he was her brother.
At this moment, Rose, sitting in the passenger seat, gently leaned on his shoulder and said to herself, "James, seeing you on the court just now really took me back a few years. Back then, our world was just us, no third person."
James's hand rested on the steering wheel, rubbing it thoughtfully without responding to her.
Rose felt her heart tighten, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
She wasn't stupid; she could see that James's high-profile behavior, even going to the court to compete with a young man, was for whom?
Of course, it was for Jessica!
Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that maybe Jessica's weight in James's heart had already surpassed hers.
Rose bit her lip and secretly told herself that she couldn't let this situation continue.
She thought, 'Jessica already has the title of Mrs. Kelly. If she also wins James's heart, then I will be finished! Fortunately, I have prepared in advance.'
Rose pretended to be aggrieved and softly asked, "James, are you in a bad mood? Is it because of me?"
James replied indifferently, "No, don't overthink it."
Rose opened the car door and said, "I can see it and feel it. You're not happy. If you're worried about Miss Evans, go find her. I'm okay with it."
