Chapter 438

Jessica didn’t want to ruin things for Jake, so she bit back the urge to tell Brian to Brian again after so long, sharing a meal together.

Jessica ate absentmindedly, still thinking about what she’d just witnessed. Right then, her phone lit up on the table. She recognized the familiar profile picture. It was definitely a message from Madeline.

She picked up her phone with a blank expression and opened the message. Inside was a photo of Briar and Madeline having dinner together at a

restaurant.

The photo showed Brian’s upper body as he gently placed shrimp on Madeline’s plate.

Jessica froze like she’d been struck by lightning.

A message from Madeline popped up right after: (Jessica, Brian is so thoughtful. Has he always been this good at taking care of people?]

The classic passive–aggressive sweetness made Jessica’s stomach turn. She covered her chest and spun around, dry heaving.

“Here, drink some water. Why are you having morning sickness all of a sudden? Was today’s food too greasy?” Brian quickly stood up and handed her a glass of water.

Jake also rushed around getting her a wet cloth. “Here, Mommy, wipe your face.”

“I’m fine. Just felt a little nauseous all of a sudden,” Jessica said, taking the warm water to rinse her mouth and trying to reassure Jake.

Jake still looked at her with worried eyes.

Jessica didn’t want him to worry, so she put away her phone, took the wet cloth Jake handed her, and wiped the corners of her mouth. Then, she turned back to pick up her utensils and started serving food.

“Okay, I’m really fine. Let’s eat,” she said, not sparing Brian a single glance the entire time.

‘Sure, Brian is here with me now, but who knows when that photo was taken?‘ Jessica thought.

The photos could have been taken this morning, or maybe yesterday and sent today after Madeline found out Brian was visiting Jessica again. It made perfect sense that Madeline would want to stir up some drama out of spite.

After lunch, Jessica casually questioned Jake and discovered that Brian hadn’t been home yesterday during the day or this morning either. This only confirmed her suspicions even more.

‘Oh, so you’ve become quite the time management expert now, Brian,‘ Jessica thought bitterly. ‘Yesterday, he was with Madeline, today he’s here with me. Does he actually think he’s being fair?‘

The whole situation disgusted Jessica so much that she gave Brian the cold shoulder for two straight days.

Brian was completely blindsided by her sudden attitude change. He couldn’t figure out what he’d done wrong to make Jessica so angry.

He turned to Wesley for help, but Wesley couldn’t analyze the situation either. He just told Brian to keep observing and try to find more clues.

Brian thought this approach seemed unreliable and way too slow, but he didn’t have any other options, so he decided to follow Wesley’s advice. After giving Brian his questionable counsel, Wesley put down his phone and caught up with Sana. He followed her into the barbecue restaurant on the fourth floor of the mall, assuming she was meeting another blind date.

But after waiting for a while, no one else showed up. Instead, a server brought Sana a small birthday cake and placed a cute little white teddy bear in the empty seat across from her. That was when it finally clicked for Wesley.
