Chapter 181

Jessica remembered that Jake had made a special trip to bring this to her.

She loved it so much that she kept a pack both at home and at work.

Her gaze lingered on the empty breakfast wrappers in the trash.

It was what Brian had prepared for her that morning.

Day after day, this had become their routine. Yet she hadn’t even noticed when this quiet dependency had crept in.

Jessica never realized Brian was such a good cook. In just a short time, he had completely spoiled her taste buds.

But this shouldn’t be happening. They were bound to get divorced, yet she found herself relying more and more on him and Jacob. This wasn’t a healthy

After all, the only thing he truly cared about was the child she was carrying.

‘What are you even hoping for, Jessica?‘ she asked herself bitterly.

The more Jessica dwelled on it, the worse her mood became.

By the end of the workday, she was completely drained–both physically and emotionally.

Exiting the elevator and spotting Brian waiting there yet again, Jessica didn’t even have the energy to speak. She tried to brush past him, but the man abruptly grabbed her arm.

“Jessi, you look terrible. Has work been wearing you out?”

Brian gazed at Jessica, genuine concern in his eyes.

At his words, Jessica inexplicably found herself recalling an old incident.

Back then, a major project she was overseeing ran into trouble, forcing her and her team to work through the night
