Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702

Jessica was crying so much that she could barely catch her breath. “Kenneth, I thought that Grandpa would finally feel our sincerity as long as I raised Darrell and managed the household well. Not to mention, you and Janice had already divorced. Still, he’s taking us as strangers after all these years.

“I think we should leave. There’s no place for us here.”

Although Janice hadn’t said anything, Kenneth got mad from Jessica’s provocation and helped Darrell up, blurting, “Who’s leaving? They’re the ones who should leave!”

However, Kenneth regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking.

Knowing what kind of horrible life Janice had lived in the past, he had no intention of driving her out. He would even agree to her request if she wished to spend the rest of her life in the Miller residence.

Yet, he hadn’t realized what he was saying in the heat of the moment.

Throwing out hurtful words was like plunging a knife into someone’s heart. And even if the wound turned

into a scar, it would still hurt.

But regardless, Kenneth was used to it. Even though he sensed that he had put his foot into his mouth, he couldn’t take back his words.

Quickly thinking of a solution, he thought of giving Janice some sort of compensation to make up for it.

Meanwhile, Harold was livid as he said, “As long as I’m still alive, you have no right to make the call in this house! This is Janice’s place. Where are you asking her to go?”

“Calm down, Dad.” Janice remained calm and poured a glass of water for him. Casually, she mocked, “He must’ve forgotten that I’ve cut ties with the Procters a long time ago.”

Her words served as a reality check for Kenneth as memories flooded his head.

After her suicide attempt, the Procters had wanted to take her away, but Janice insisted on staying. So then they asked her to choose between them and him, forcing Janice to leave with them. Yet, she

claimed that Kenneth was her world and that she couldn’t live without him.

That was what broke her family’s heart. Her father himself said that he didn’t have a daughter like her and that she would be all by herself from now onward.
