They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 188

He must have set this up from the very first day he brought her lunch.

Brian might have outsmarted her this time, but Jessica refused to give up.

Hearing this, the judge looked back at Brian.

Brian fixed his gaze on Jessica. He knew he had completely infuriated her, but he had no regrets.

“Your Honor,” Brian declared firmly, “I have more evidence.”

As he spoke, he took out a medical report and presented it to the judge..

Jessica’s hand on the table clenched forcefully.

She had already guessed what the report was.

Brian announced, “This is my wife Jessica’s prenatal examination report. Yes, my wife is pregnant again; she’s just reached three months.

“I admit I had many shortcomings in our marriage and made mistakes that hurt her, but I never once considered divorce.”

He looked deeply at Jessica.

“Jessi, whether you believe me or not, you’ve always been the only woman I’ve ever seen as my wife.

“Give me another chance, please. If not for me, then for the sake of our child.”

As Brian presented the prenatal examination report, Simon’s expression turned grave.

He hadn’t expected Brian to come so well–prepared, even obtaining proof of Jessica’s pregnancy.

Now, even he had to admit things were getting complicated.

“I refuse,” Jessica said without a moment’s hesitation.

Facing Brian’s plea, she fixed the judge with a resolute gaze.

“Your Honor, there’s no way I can continue living with Brian. As for the child I’m carrying, I don’t intend to hold him accountable. I sincerely ask you to honor my wishes.”

The judge nodded in acknowledgment but refrained from issuing an immediate ruling. Instead, he announced a temporary adjournment and dismissed both parties for the time being.

Jessica frowned, about to speak, when Simon gently grasped her arm.

Simon shook his head at her, signaling her to wait.

The evidence was clearly against them right now. Pushing any further would only make things worse.

He reassured her, “Jessi, don’t worry. We still have a shot at winning. It’s risky, but it’s not over. I’ll pull some strings later.”

With unwavering determination, he was resolved to win this case for Jessica, no matter what.

Jessica said nothing, just walked out with her head down.

She had never felt worse in her life.

Chapter 188

The frustration of losing the divorce case and the anger at being schemed against by Brian again were churning inside her.

Jessica was already worn out from overtime and sleepless nights, and now her nerves were stretched even thinner.

All she could feel was bone–deep exhaustion.

Simon walked alongside her, quietly discussing their next steps as they left the courtroom.

Jessica tried to focus on what he was saying, but most of it just slipped past her. All she could feel was the burning gaze from the side.

Brian was watching her, and she couldn’t ignore it, no matter how hard she tried.

Maybe there was even guilt in his eyes. If she turned around, he’d probably apologize.
