They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387

At the clinic, Wesley had just finished counselling Jessica over the phone when the receptionist informed him of Brian’s visie

‘What a coincidence?‘ Wesley thought. Raising an eyebrow, he said to the receptionist, “Show him into my office.”

It was a good thing Brian came on his own, as it saved Wesley the trouble of having to chase him down later. A minute later, Brian pushed open the office door and stepped inside, looking slightly dishevelled.

“Please, have a seat,” Wesley said, placing a freshly brewed cup of coffee in front of him. Without wasting a moment, he asked, “Did you go see Ms. Grant before coming here?”

Just as Brian’s fingers brushed the cup, he heard those words and frowned. “Was it that obvious?”

He thought maybe he had let his dejection show too clearly after Jessica rejected him, and Wesley had seen right through it.

“Not exactly,” Wesley explained, telling him the truth. “Right before you came in, I had just gotten off the phone with her. She sounded really upset, and after I probed a little, I realized it probably had something to do with you.”

At these words, Brian’s frown deepened, and he protested, “But I really didn’t do anything.”

He then recounted in detail what had happened that morning when he went to see Jessica, asking Wesley to help him figure out what he might have done wrong. Even Wesley couldn’t help but frown as he listened.

If everything Brian said was true, then even if Jessica hadn’t been moved, she shouldn’t have gotten angry. Wesley was quite certain Jessica hadn’t completely moved on from Brian.

“This is odd,” Wesley said, absentmindedly twirling his pen as he cautiously analyzed with Brian what might be going on in Jessica’s mind.

Brian listened intently, occasionally exchanging thoughts with Wesley. By the end of their discussion, they both agreed to leave things as they were for now and observe for a while before deciding whether to adjust the treatment plan.

After leaving Wesley’s office, Brian headed straight to his company.

Meanwhile, Madeline, who had been tailing him the whole time, quickly snapped a photo as he got out of the car and entered the building. She then doctored the photo to make it look like she had dropped him off at work and immediately sent it to Jessica.

Madeline thought triumphantly, ‘This is going to piss her off so much.’

Sure enough, when Jessica saw the photo, she was livid.

That evening, when Jessica returned home, she ran into Brian, who had used the excuse of taking their child to art class. Without hesitation, she slammed the door shut in his face.

Brian and Jake stood frozen outside, staring at the closed door in bewilderment. Finally, Jake broke the silence. “Daddy, what did you do to make Mommy mad this time?”

Jake thought to himself, “When Daddy wasn’t home these past two days, all I had to do was act a little pitiful and Mommy would call me over for dinner.

‘Whenever I mentioned Daddy, she wouldn’t interrupt me too. One time, she even asked when he was coming back.

‘Even last night, when I invited Mommy to come with me to pick Daddy up today, she didn’t reject me right away. S turning me down.

‘At that time, I really thought Mommy was finally warming up to Daddy and me, I was so excited and was just waiting for Daddy to come home so we could keep trying to win her over.

‘But the moment Daddy came back, Mornmy slammed the door right in his face.‘
