They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221

“Forgive me. I got a little emotional there,” Stella was the first to pull away, dabbing at her eyes.

Weston could only seethe inwardly, cursing Brian.

“You’re too kind,” he said stiffly before turning to Jessica. “Jessi, regardless of what happened with Brian, you’re the only one I’ll accept as family. I heard you’re pregnant. Why not come stay at Atkinson Mannr? I’ll keep Brian away, I swear”

His visit had two goals–apologize and bring Jessica home. With his grandchild on the way, he couldn’t bear leaving Jessica unprotected.

Jessica didn’t hesitate. “No need. I’m comfortable here, and given my current status, moving back would be inappropriate.” After

divorced.

she and Brian were

“You’re the mother of my grandchildren. That’s all the justification you need,” Weston insisted.

Jessica shook her head, offering no further explanation

Seeing her resolve, Weston added, “At least reconsider. Atkinson Manor has top–tier medical facilities, and I can assign you a dedicated care team. With your condition, I just can’t relax knowing you’re not under flawless care”

“If Jessi needs specialists, I can provide them,” Dereck said coldly.

“I didn’t mean. It’s just… This is all so sudden. I can’t accept it.” Weston’s voice cracked, his eyes glistening, genuinely devastated by the divorce.

Jessica sighed, “Weston, Brian and I are over. I won’t move back, but I promise the two children will visit often after they’re born.” Blood ties mattered,

“What You’re pregnant with twins?” Weston was shocked. “That idiot!”

He thought. Jessica is carrying two babies, and instead of cherishing her, Brian drives her away!”

Weston looked ready to combust. “That damn brat!”

Jessica looked a bit taken aback by how immediately angry Weston had become toward Brian. “Uh, Brian didn’t tell you?” She had assumed Brian had briefed Weston beforehand.

“Tell me what? Nothing!” Weston spat, the profanity slipping out proof of his fury.

Jessica fell silent.

“Jess, just focus on your health. I’ll deal with Brian when I get back. This is our fault, and make it right,” Weston declared, abruptly standing.

Jessica almost stopped him, then hesitated and thought, “Shouldn’t be glad Brian’s about to suffer? Why do I care?”

She shook her head, dismissing the thought. “Don’t bother. I’m content with how things ended,” she said flatly. A clean divorce was enough. She wanted nothing more

But Weston wasn’t listening “Jessi, don’t spare a thought for that fool Your only job now is to rest”

After another round of apologies to De

and Stella, Weston hurried out with his assistants.

The moment Weston returned to Atkinson Manor, he summoned his lawyer. “Transfer another 2 of

my shares to Jessica

Whether Brian succeeded in winning Jessica back or not, those shares would secure the children’s future. Weston trusted Jessica’s integrity. She would never weaponize those shares against Atkinson Group.

The lawyer, already aware of the divorce, gaped. He thought, “Even now, he’s gifting Jessica shares? He does care for her deeply

“Don’t overthink it. Just do it,” Weston sighed, reading the Lawyer’s expression.

He thought, ‘Brian threw away happiness for chans. His wife left him with two hables. He is going to piss me off!”

The lawyer nodded and complied.

Soon, Brian leamed of the transfer. He raised no objections.

Madeline overheard the news during a work report and nearly lost her composure.

She thought, “Weston gave Jessica two percent of Atkinson Group just because she’s pregnant? If Brian wanted, I could give him children too

“What’s on your mind? Any progress on the investigation I asked for?” Brian frowned as he hung up the phone, noticing Madeline’s odd expression.

“Oh, nothing.” Madeline replied, quickly masking her thoughts

Brian didn’t press further, shifting focus to his priority. ” asked you to look into who leaked the news. Still no leads?” His gaze sharpened with suspicion. This delay was unlike Madeline’s usual efficiency.
