Chapter 81 Turning On Each Other
Finished
William had never in his wildest dreams thought that they could have actually had a child together.
His parents, too, couldn’t bear it. Aliya nearly fainted but Keanu caught her in time.
The child they had longed for would have been four years old now had it not been.
lost.
The Quirks were also stunned.
Isabella could hardly believe she had missed such a juicy piece of gossip. After all, her system only provided answers when she actively searched for them; it wouldn’t just pop up on its own.
Did this really happen? Let me see… Oh my, it’s true! In reality, the reason they didn’t have children for many years was because they were both too exhausted, with no time to prepare for pregnancy. That they managed to conceive was quite unexpected.
However, given Jessica’s nature, she would never have a child if she wasn’t certain about their love. She isn’t the type to tragically use a child as a pawn to tie down a man. Instead, she would only feel that the child was a chain that bound her.
“Why… why didn’t you keep it? Why didn’t you tell me? If I had known, I would have… I just made a small mistake. You should have given me the chance to correct it!”
William was holding his head as if he was about to lose his mind.
Jessica was somewhat speechless as she said, “Back then, I didn’t divorce you wasn’t that giving you a chance? But it seems the outcome has proven that my initial decision was right. You still let me down.”
In marriage, one might stray because of moments of distraction, but perhaps due to deep affection or fear of change, the other partner would usually compromise. However, there was bound to be a limit to this.
She was once a strong woman who stood by William during his entrepreneurial journey. If it weren’t for the successive blows of her husband’s betrayal and the passing of her parents, she would have had a clearer understanding of what she wanted, instead of dragging things on

Chapter 81 Torning On Each Other
In her mind, Isabella couldn’t help but lament, while the other three found themselves involuntarily nodding in agreement.

Moreover, everyone knew that Jessica’s revelation of such a deeply hidden secret was not only due to her amnesia but also her firm determination to avoid any further entanglement.
Naturally, the thought crossed William’s mind as well, causing his entire body to- tremble. The look of agony on his face was so intense that the veins on his forehead were visibly throbbing.
“Jessica, I won’t give up on you. I know it’s you whom I love. I apologize for my past mistakes. I intend to pursue you anew, and I will patiently wait for you to turn back…” he asserted.
This line sounds so familiar, Isabella thought.
The Quirks were inexplicably reminded of a certain unfortunate person.
Christopher, who was discussing matters with Hayden in the studio, let out a hefty
sneeze.
“Stop right there!” Jessica frowned. “I don’t care what you’re thinking, but I’ve said all I needed to. If you don’t leave now, I’m really going to call the police and accuse you of harassment.”
At this point, Jessica added with a stern face, “I’m not joking.”
The chill emanating from her struck William dumb.
Keanu could hardly contain his anxiety and was about to say something when Jessica cut him off. “I respect my elders, but if they attempt to manipulate my feelings to their advantage, causing me discomfort and unhappiness just to satisfy others, then my respect ceases. I’ve experienced death once before, and my parents are no longer with me. So now, I only cater to my own emotions.”
This statement was almost identical to the main theme of Isabella’s performance.
In the end, Keanu couldn’t utter a single word. He could only support Aliya as they departed sorrowfully.
William didn’t want to leave, intent on being a persistent nuisance. However, there was no need to call the police. They were already divorced, so Evian had every

How hilarious. This didn’t work even for someone like Christopher, so if it had for William, I’d wash my hair upside down.
Before we arrived, Jessica had already reached out to her former network of freelance photographers via her phone. With no ties and only regret for the wasted years, she’s now single–mindedly pursuing her dream, and nothing will stop her. I think she’ll likely leave the country once she’s out of the hospital.
Even if William wants to pester her, he’ll still need to find her first. One thing to be thankful for is his past indifference toward Jessica. He was focused only on his own career, to the point he never stepped foot into her professional circle. Once she leaves, he wouldn’t even have anyone to ask about her whereabouts. Hahaha!
For now, he’s still holding on to hope, believing he can win her back. However, he’ll soon be left with nothing but despair.
