They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304

Chapter 304

The outside world’s noise did nothing to unsettle Brian.

He maintained his routine steadfastly, delivering meals to Jessica at least once every day, whether at the Grant Group office or directly to her apartment

Most days at the office, Brian found it difficult to see Jessica,

After several fruitless attempts, he began going straight to her apartment, where he could at least catch a glimpse of her.

As their encounters became more frequent, Jessica briefly entertained the idea of moving out.

Yet, in the end, she decided against it.

To relocate because of Brian would mean conceding to his influence once more, and she was determined not to allow that.

She resolved to simply endure. After all, his presence no longer interfered significantly with her life.

Lost in these thoughts, Jessica did not immediately register Stella’s voice breaking through her reverie.

“Jessi, were you paying attention to what I just said?”

Jessica blinked and rubbed her forehead apologetically. “Sorry, Mom, I was zoning out for a moment.”

Stella, reading her daughter’s distracted expression, sighed quietly. She knew Jessica hadn’t absorbed a wor

“That’s understandable. You’re pregnant. Feeling drained is only natural. No need to apologize.

“I just wanted to check if you’re okay with picking Jake up from the hospital together.”

Jacob had been hospitalized for over a week. Though the doctors cleared him for discharge yesterday, he had asked to stay a couple more days.

Stella understood who he was waiting for, which was why she came straight to Jessica’s place.

Jessica lowered her eyes. “I can’t, Mom. Tomorrow Inkspire Studio is expecting a partner, and I simply can’t miss it.”

She didn’t see the point in going to the hospital. She hadn’t shown up once during Jacob’s stay, and now that he was about to leave, there was no need to pretend she cared.

Stella’s brows knitted together sharply. “Is there no way to reschedule?”

“No, there isn’t,” Jessica replied quickly, afraid even a second’s hesitation would lead to regret.

Staring at her intently, Stella asked softly, “Jessi, you’re not lying to me, are you?”

Jessica glanced away. “No, Mom. I’m serious. I would never joke about work.”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you,” Stella said softly, reaching out to cup her daughter’s face with tender concern.

“I just don’t want you making a rash decision you’ll regret later because you’re upset.

“Whatever you choose, your father and I will stand by you, but only if it’s truly what you want, not just pride talking. Do you understan

Jessica lowered her gaze. “I do. And I won’t regret it.”

She couldn’t afford to.

She had already made the wrong choice once between Brian and Jacob. She wouldn’t let history repeat itself.
