The Wife They Tried to Replace Is Now Untouchable novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529

The next morning, Jackson drove Brian and Jessica to the airport to meet up with the show’s crew.

On the way, Jessica got bored and suddenly remembered something. “What did Dr. Finch talk to you about yesterday?”

Brian was looking at the travel tips the fans had sent him. He answered casually, “He said he wanted to drop in for an episode or two later and asked me to save him a spot. I said yes.”

It wasn’t a big deal for Brian, so he agreed.

Jessica raised an eyebrow. “He’s coming too? Why?”

She hadn’t thought Wesley was the type to enjoy joining in the fun.

Brian said, “He claims he wants to keep a close eye on how we’re recovering, but I don’t think he’s being honest.”

Jessica agreed with that. Thinking about the awkward vibe between Sana and Wesley, she tapped her chin. “In a couple of episodes, there will probably be two more familiar faces on the show.”

Brian got her drift and was quick to respond, “I’ll ask Raymond to save two spots for guest

appearances then.”

Wesley had helped him a lot, and he didn’t mind returning the favor, giving Wesley a hand too.

“Do what you think is best. I’m tired and gonna sleep for a bit,” Jessica said.

They still had some way to the airport. Jessica was tired of her phone, so she leaned on Brian’s

shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

As soon as she settled against him, Brian put his phone away. He grabbed a blanket from the car and gently draped it over her, then carefully shifted his posture to make her more comfortable.

Jackson noticed it and, without Brian having to say a word, slowed down to avoid disturbing Jessica.

Jessica had only meant to doze at first, but the ride was so comfortable that she ended up falling sound asleep.

When Brian woke her gently, she was still a little fuzzy.

“Jessi, we’re here.” Brian looked at her, her big eyes hazy and innocent as she stared up at him, his gaze softening even more.

If Raymond hadn’t called twice to check in, Brian wouldn’t have had the heart to wake her.

Jessica blinked, used Brian’s arm for support to sit up, and looked out at the road full of cars. She finally woke up properly.

“We’re here? How long did I sleep?” she said, picking up her phone to check the time. When she saw they were already 15 minutes past the meeting time, she couldn’t help jumping a little.

She said, “It’s late. You should’ve woken me earlier.”

“No rush. The plane doesn’t take off for another hour. We’ve got time,” Brian said calmly, reaching out to smooth her hair that had gotten messy while she slept.

Jessica rolled her eyes at him, reaching for the car door handle.

Brian was quick to open it for her, shielding her as she got out, and added, “Be careful, Jessi. Watch your step.”

“I’m not that fragile,” Jessica said without looking back.

After days of rain, the sun finally came out today. The warm sunlight felt good on her skin, and Jessica couldn’t help stretching.

Brian took their luggage out of the trunk, and Jackson automatically took it from him so Brian could focus on looking after Jessica.

“Let’s go,” Jessica said, glancing at Brian–one hand pushing a suitcase, the other steadying her. She

didn’t say anything more.

With the two big suitcases Gabriela and Sana had given them, they had four large suitcases in total. It was probably the most among all the guests on the show.

Three and a half of those four suitcases contained her stuff. Jessica hadn’t wanted to bring so much,

but Brian had insisted, so in the end, they’d taken it all.

Inside the airport, they hadn’t walked far when they spotted the show’s crew.

Raymond hurried over, beaming. “Mr. Atkinson, Ms. Grant, you’re here at last.”

The crew members with him automatically took the luggage and followed Jackson to check it in.

“Sorry, we’re late,” Brian said, his voice serious.

“No problem at all. We’ve still got plenty of time,” Raymond rushed to say.

Even if there had been a problem, he wouldn’t have dared blame Brian, the show’s biggest funder

now.

Jessica watched Raymond being overly accommodating and shot a quick look at Brian as if saying,

“Satisfied now?”

Brian smiled back at her. He was definitely satisfied.

Raymond quickly led Brian and Jessica to join the other three groups of guests.

The other guests included Sabrina Benson, an advertising agency owner, and her assistant boyfriend Connor Maddox; actress Vanessa Hale and her husband Spencer Hale; and the youngest couple in the group–popular actress Lillian Cruz and her singer boyfriend Chase Donovan.

“Mr. Atkinson, Ms. Grant, nice to meet you,” Sabrina said right after Raymond finished introducing everyone, reaching out first to greet Jessica and Brian.

“Nice to meet you,” Jessica said.

Brian nodded slightly in acknowledgment but ignored Sabrina’s outstretched hand.

Jessica had no choice but to step forward and shake Sabrina’s hand herself.

After all, Sabrina had made the first move. They couldn’t just brush her off.

“Ms. Benson, we’d love your help later on,” Jessica said. “And please, feel free to call me Jessi. No need for all the formality.”

“Sure, Jessi. I’m a few years older, so just call me Sabrina. You’re about seven months along, right? If you feel uncomfortable at all during the trip, just let me know. I’ll help however I can,” Sabrina said earnestly.

“Thanks. I’ll definitely take you up on that,” Jessica replied with a smile.

They both left the first meeting with a good impression of each other.

Sabrina wanted to chat more to build rapport, but seeing the others waiting to step in, she politely stepped back to make space.
