They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210

Jacob bit his lower lip, his little face full of dejection, but he forced himself to say, “n’t this how it should be? I was so badly behaved before. Mom was already really kind to agree to see nie.

Brian’s eyes showed a hint of relief. He affectionately ruffled the boy’s hair and chuckled, “I’m glad you understand. That means we will stand a chance.”

It didn’t matter if Jessica refused to forgive them now. One day, he would prove his sincerity through actions and regain her trust.

“Yeah! I won’t give up! I’ll do my best to win Mommy’s heart back!” Jacob said, pumping his little fists in determination.

He then looked up at Brian, uncertainty in his voice. “But Dad, what do we do now?”

He’d just mustered his courage, but reality came crashing back.

Staring at the tightly shut hospital room door, Jacob felt gloomy again.

“Of course, we’re going to your grandparents to celebrate Mommy’s homecoming

Brian stood at the door with gifts in hand, saying humbly.

“Bother? Nonsense! We’re thrilled that Jake wants to keep us old–timers company!”

Stella genuinely adorod her well–behaved, thoughtful grandson.

As she spoke, she was already about to invite them to stay for a meal.

Seving this, Jessica cut in sharply before Stella could speak, “Since you’re just here to pick him up, take your things and leave.”

Brian maintained his smile. “We’ll do as you say. But Jake’s stomach has been growling all the way here. I’m worried he might get a stomachach goes hungry any longer. What do you think…”

Stella didn’t hesitate for a second.

“Oh dear, come in and cat right away! The meal’s all ready,” she said warmly.

Jessica sneered. “Mom, with Mr. Atkinson’s vast business empire, do you really think he’d begrudge his own son a single lunch?”
