Chapter 9 I Won't Divorce
But marriage ultimately relied on tolerance and patience.
She thought he would eventually fall in love with her if she persisted.
Now she realized how terribly wrong she was.
The existence of that woman had long negated all her efforts and persistence.
For half a month, James had yet to return to the villa.
He didn't even come back to stay in the guest room.
The servants in the villa couldn't help but feel sorry for Jessica when they saw her.
Jessica saw the woman James met that night again.
At this moment, that woman was sitting openly in her home, using her cup and drinking her coffee.
There were always security and servants at home.
No one could enter and leave the Kelly Family freely unless James brought them.
"Who are you?" Jessica pretended not to recognize her and asked coldly.
Rose smiled, as always, with intellectual gentleness. She put down the teacup and said warmly and generously to Jessica, "Miss Evans, please sit. I'm James's friend. My name is Rose."
"Friend?"
Jessica sneered, curling her lips, "James has too many friends. I've never heard him mention you. Sorry, I don't have time right now."
Rose didn't mind and continued smiling, "Miss Evans, I won't take up too much of your time."
In fact, Jessica had long harbored resentment towards Rose.
Since she insisted, Jessica wanted to see what Rose was up to.
Usually, she was the only one at home, often lying on the sofa, waiting for James to come back.
But now, on that long sofa, Rose was covered with Jessica's blanket.
Jessica frowned. 'Does Rose think this is her home?'
"Miss Evans..."
Rose just spoke when Jessica interrupted, "Miss Morris, since you're a friend of James, you should know my identity, right? Please call me Mrs. Kelly!"
Rose looked embarrassed and nodded, "Alright, I'll call you Mrs. Kelly for now. I want to apologize to you today. After all, because of me, James has made you suffer a lot."
"Really?"
Jessica laughed lightly, "What exactly? I don't know about it. Miss Morris, are you overestimating yourself? James treats me quite well, really."
Rose's smile deepened, and with the gentlest voice, she pierced through her, "Really? Miss Evans, James doesn't love you. Don't you know that things obtained by force are often unsatisfactory?"
Although Jessica was prepared to face the mistress, she realized when the person actually came to her door that she was far outmatched by Rose.
Especially since Rose was openly questioning her, relying on her status as James's lover.
"Is that so? Things obtained by force are often unsatisfactory, but at least I got them!" Jessica crossed her arms, raised her head, and smiled at Rose.
Rose clearly didn't expect that Jessica wasn't so weak as she had imagined.
This didn't match what she knew about Jessica.
"James told me everything about you. Back then, Grandpa Gerald's heart surgery was extremely complicated, and it was your mom who saved him. This made Grandpa Gerald feel deeply indebted to your family. So, when your mom entrusted you to Grandpa Gerald before she died, he found it hard to refuse. Of course, you are also a victim of this arranged marriage by the elders. You are very pitiful too."
