They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Dereck considered Inviting Brian in to join them for dinner, but since neither Stela nor Jessica had said anything about it, he decide

himself:

“you know, Brian seems pretty decent to me,” Dereck muttered under his breath,

He’d had someone look into Brian privately, Brian’s personal lie was clean, with no messy affairs or random woman hanging around

Dereck couldn’t understand why Jessica wanted a divorce, but whatever problems existed between husband and wife, outsiders could never reall

know.

When Dereck came back inside without inviting Brian in, Stella shot him a subtle eye roll, Walt, did she want me to invite him, or is she annoyed that T even thought about it? Dereck found himself completely confused by Stella’s reaction.

“Jessi, May made this vegetable and fruit salad especially for you.” Stella was worried about Jessica’s nutritional balance, so these vegetables and fruits were packed with various vitamins,

Besides, Jessica could get tired of eating too much meat, and these salads were perfect for cleansing her palate.

Seeing that Jessica hadn’t mentioned Brian at all, Stella gave up on the idea of calling Brian to join them for dinner.

She made sure Jacob was eating well, and the family chatted about various topics. The large dining room suddenly felt more lively

Jessica had filled up on seafood porridge earlier, so she didn’t eat much of the main course, but she did eat quite a bit of the salad.

After dinner, she went upstairs and worked on some business matters on her computer.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Jessica came downstairs to send them off. Jacob didn’t dare to make a fuss like last time. He obediently said goodbye to them and let with Brian. “Dad, did Mom drink the porridge?”

“She did,” Brian said.

“So did she forgive you?”

Brian remained silent. Jacob seemed to understand something from his father’s silence and asked, “Is it because your porridge doesn’t taste good?”

He remembered that Jessica’s cooking and porridge always tasted better than anyone else’s. But it had been so long since he’d had any. Even when Jacob was sick, Jessica wasn’t willing to cook for him,

The next day, Brian couldn’t stop thinking about Jessica’s hesitant silhouette at Grant Manor gates last night.

“Neither Jacob nor I have done anything unforgivable, Brian thought. “Why won’t Jessica forgive us? She must still be angry. It’s probably the pregnancy hormones making everything feel ten times worse. I just need to keep trying to make it up to her, and everything will be fine.

After wrapping up his work, Brian glanced at the clock. It was almost four,

It was the ideal time to depart early and

and get ready for Jessica’s dinner. She hadn’t worked late yesterday, but tonight she’d probably be stuck at Gran Group burning the midnight oil.

“Mr. Atkinson?” Madeline tapped on the door just as Brian was opening it. She froze for a moment, nearly colliding with him.

Her gare dropped to the jacket draped over Brian’s arm. ‘Brian’s leaving early again? Madeline thought. She knew he’d been leaving early these past few days to cook for Jessica, Her carefully maintained expression almost cracked.

Madeline asked curiously, “Mr. Atkinson, are you heading back to cook for Jessi
