The Wife They Tried to Replace Is Now Untouchable novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520

Jessica found the comments especially amusing, particularly when Brian earnestly responded to obvious jokes.

“What’s so funny?” Brian asked, walking in unnoticed by Jessica. He leaned over as he peeked over her shoulder.

Jessica instinctively hid her phone, then realized a second later that there was no reason to hide. She thought, ‘Why be shy? He posted it, and I was more than happy to read it.‘

With that thought, she turned the screen toward him. “Your replies.”

Brian chuckled at the scrolling comments. “Guess I got it right.” If nothing else, making Jessica laugh was worth it.

The tenderness in his voice was impossible to ignore. Jessica’s cheeks warmed as she muttered, “Like I care if you got it right.”

Brian sat beside her, resting his head on her lap to listen to their babies‘ kicks. “You’ve been through so much, Jessi.”

Reading all the questions from netizens, especially the ones from other expecting mothers who were at the same stage of pregnancy as Jessica, had made Brian truly understand how tough pregnancy could be. It had deepened his shame for his past absence.

“I was a real bastard back then. I don’t know how you put up with me.” His voice cracked with regret. He had no right to ask for reconciliation, but letting go was unthinkable. He couldn’t imagine living the rest of his life without her.

Jessica listened to his heartfelt words in silence. After a long pause, she finally replied, “Let’s not dwell on the past. Are you planning to keep sharing like this?”

She knew what he truly wanted to hear, but she couldn’t promise that yet. She thought, ‘This is enough for now, isn’t it? Why does it have to change?‘

Brian caught her unspoken message. Forcing a smile, he nodded. “Yeah, the fans seem to like my tweets.” He pulled up his profile. “Look, these followers gave great pregnancy tips.”

As he shared lighthearted fan interactions, the tension between them eased into something comfortable and familiar.

Over the next few days, Brian continued his daily updates as usual. If he were even slightly late, fans would flood the comments demanding new content.

Jessica’s initial amusement with the comments faded quickly, and she stopped paying attention, unaware that countless netizens were trying to tag her. Since she didn’t have a Twitter account, they resorted to tagging Xelvra and Sana instead.

Sana’s previously quiet account suddenly gained over 100 thousand followers. She even got recognized in public several times, with fans approaching her to ask about Jessica’s well being.

Sana grumbled on Monday, pulling off her mask as she bumped into Jessica at the office, “Jessi, if you don’t open a Twitter account soon, I might as well quit and become a full time influencer.”

“That’d be great. I’ll be your first customer if you start selling stuff,” Jessica teased.

“Jessi!” Sana huffed. She was joking. She had no real interest in internet fame.

“Just kidding. Hang in there. Once the hype dies down, they’ll move on,” Jessica reassured Sana, still unwilling to open an account.

“By then, I might already be a celebrity, and they’ll still be your fans,” Sana joked.

“Impossible. Brian and I aren’t that interesting.” Jessica said dismissively.

Sana hesitated, wanting to argue, but ultimately stayed silent.

At the end of the day, the two women walked out together, only to find Brian and Wesley waiting outside.

“Jessi.” Brian immediately strode over, taking Jessica’s bag and leading her away with a quick nod at Sana.

“See you tomorrow.” Jessica waved goodbye.

Left alone with Wesley, Sana felt inexplicably flustered. “Jessi, can you-”

“I’ll take you home,” Wesley cut in smoothly.

Sana glared. “I don’t want you to.”

“But I want to. Give me a chance?” Wesley grinned, unfazed by her glare.

His good–natured persistence left Sana with no room to argue without seeming unreasonable.

“Hungry? There’s a new seafood place. My treat,” Wesley coaxed.

“No. I’m going home,” Sana snapped.

“Fine. Weekend, then.” Wesley’s tone was easygoing, but his grip on her wrist was firm as he guided her toward his car.

Sana struggled briefly, then yielded with a sigh.
