They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

Chapter 106

Madeline: Jessica, Jake misses you very much. Let’s have a video call, shall we?]

Jessica didn’t want to waste her time on them, so she didn’t answer the first video call.

Madeline called again and sent a message. Madeline: [Jessica, I didn’t mean to ruin the relationship between you and Jacob. Please answer the video call so that Jake won’t misunderstand me, okay?]

Jessica sneered. She thought, ‘What tricks is Madeline up to now?‘

After thinking about it, Jessica answered the call.

The next moment, Jacob and Madeline appeared on the screen. Jacob seemed to be leaning against Madeline’s arms.

“Mom!” Jacob was very enthusiastic when he saw Jessica.

A

Madeline was a bit unhappy, but still smiled gently and said, “Jessica, don’t get me wrong. Jake didn’t go to find me on his own. I called him here.” Then she tilted the phone slightly to show the decoration of the office behind her.

“What do you want?” Jessica ignored Madeline and gave Jacob a cold look.

The last time Jacob made a scene at Grant Manor, Jessica thought he was just venting his unhappiness because of her pregnancy.

The night Jacob went back, Jessica had a hard time falling asleep. In a daze, she kept dreaming about Jacob when he was a little baby.

Now, seeing that he was fine and playing with Madeline, Jessica thought her worry was ridiculous. Madeline’s obvious and subtle provocations and shows of off were really boring in Jessica’s eyes.

“Mom, are you…” Jacob naturally felt that Jessica’s attitude towards him was colder. Thinking it was his fault, he choked up and said, “Are you going to

divorce Dad?”

“Yes.” Jessica paused and then said, “You should have known about my divorce with Brian a long time ago, right?”

When she left the Atkinson family, Brian and Jacob had clearly heard her say that she wanted a divorce and abandoned them.

Obviously, they didn’t take her words to heart at all.

“Mom, can you…” Jacob said.

“No,” Jessica said firmly.

“Well, I’ll live with Dad.” Jacob was angry and held back his tears, trying to threaten Jessica with harsh words. If Jessica dared to divorce, he would make sure she never saw him again.

“Jacob, I don’t want your custody in the first place. I gave it up voluntarily,” Jessica said.

It was the first time Jessica had said something so straightforward and heartbreaking, and Jacob was stunned. He didn’t fully understand the meaning of custody, but he understood that Jessica didn’t want him.

Madeline, beside Jacob, was also surprised. She thought Jessica would hold onto Jacob like the last straw.

Through the phone, Madeline couldn’t see Jessica’s belly, but she guessed that Jessica might use the unborn child to manipulate Brian. But Madeline knew Jessica’s character. Jessica was proud and strong–willed, and she always kept her word.

“I hate–” Jacob was extremely angry and subconsciously wanted to say that he hated Jessica. But perhaps because of the psychological shadow before, he didn’t dare to finish his sentence. He remembered that Jessica left home after he said he hated her.
