Chapter 113
Jessica didn’t notice that there was someone behind her and kept focusing on painting.
She simply sketched a bed and a table lamp in the room. Before coloring, it seemed that there were two worlds, one dark and one bright, separated.
“Midnight…” Sana murmured, lost in thought.
She knew that Jessica and others were preparing to participate in an international competition. After seeing Jessica’s painting, she instinctively thought of the theme of the competition.
Hearing the voice behind her, Jessica came back to herself from the focused state.
There were tears in Jessica’s eyes. After stopping the brush, she maintained the original posture for seven or eight seconds before putting down her hand.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Sana was nervous. She didn’t mean to interrupt Jessica’s creation, but she made a sound subconsciously at that moment.
Jessica said, “Go ahead with your stuff.”
“Okay.” Sana wanted to explain, but knowing that Jessica didn’t like being indecisive, she turned and went to her desk.
Sana made her idol unhappy again. Interrupting her idol’s creative inspiration made her almost cry. She hated herself now.
The office of Inkspire Studio was different from that of Grant Group. The desk here only took up a small space, and the rest of the place was full of drawing boards. The whole shelf was filled with various paints and painting supplies.
Her office became quiet. Jessica’s eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, stared at the figure holding the baby on the drawing board.
Her gaze passed through the drawing board and went back to Atkinson Villa six years ago. She saw herself holding Jacob and coaxing him at two or three o’clock in the afternoon. When Jacob was a baby, he would cry without her hug.
At that time, all the caregivers she hired were dismissed one after another. Because she felt uneasy about letting others bring Jacob up, she wanted to raise Jacob by herself.
In addition, Jacob was dependent on her. It took a long time to coax him. Jacob’s throat was almost hoarse from crying before he would stop. Jessica couldn’t bear it and took care of Jacob herself after recovering.
At that time, Brian was often woken up by Jacob’s crying at night. He was so annoyed and even wanted to send Jacob to Paisley. Jessica was afraid that Jacob would be sent away, so she went to another room to breastfeed Jacob at night.
This led to Jessica’s chaotic work and rest schedule, and she was extremely anxious. Sometimes she had to get up two or three times at night. Jacob got his teeth early, which made it very painful for her to breastfeed.
She endured the pain and held back her tears while breastfeeding. No one would help her.
She looked at the starry sky outside countless times. Soon after Jacob fell asleep, she lay down and slept for a while, then had to get up to prepare the clothes Brian would wear during the day.
Jessica had her understanding of midnight in the one or two years when it was the hardest for her to take care of Jacob.
“Jessi,” Gabriela said.
