“Jessi, you’re back. Are you hungry? Just one more dish and we’ll be ready,” Brian said with a smile as he carried a plate from the kitchen. “Jake, go get your mom’s slippers.”

Jacob didn’t move. Instead, he stole a glance at Jessica.

Jessica kept her eyes down, saying nothing.

Taking this as permission, Jacob quickly ran to fetch her slippers.

Jessica went along with it all. She stayed calm through dinner, sitting with her parents and Brian and Jacob as if nothing had happened.

“Jessi, Mr. Grant, Mrs. Grant, it’s getting late. I should take Jacob home to rest,” Brian said after washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.

Dereck and Stella had watched Brian bustling around all evening, caring for Jessica with such attention to detail. Even though they still doubted him, they couldn’t deny he was genuinely trying to be a good husband.

“Thank you for tonight. Take these back for you and Jake,” Stella said warmly, handing him a

bag of supplements.

Brian glanced at Jessica sitting silently on the sofa and didn’t refuse. “Sure, thanks. I’ll bring Jake over to visit you guys in a couple of days when I’m

free.”

After saying goodbye to Dereck, he left with Jacob, who was reluctant to go.

The moment Brian and Jacob walked out, Dereck’s face darkened. “How long has that bastard Brian been living here!”

Stella immediately smacked his arm. “Can’t you speak properly?”

She turned to Jessica. “Jessi, are you planning to get back together with Brian and Jacob? Of course, your dad and I aren’t against it, but I hope you think it through carefully.”

She’d seen Brian’s changes with her own eyes. If he could keep it up, she wouldn’t really object. But only if Jessica truly accepted it, not because she felt pressured by outside factors and forced herself to agree.

“No, I could never remarry him!” Jessica said without hesitation.

Madeline’s words from this afternoon still echoed in her ears. There was no way she’d remarry Brian.
