Yates didn't know Sheila well, but he knew that if she truly cared for Timothy, she would have recognized his pain and not used this situation to force his hand.
“None of that matters,” Timothy said wearily. “As long as Jess gets better.”
“But if you marry her, you and Jess will never have a chance again,” Yates said, his voice rising with urgency.
Though he wanted to pursue Jessica himself, he and Timothy were friends. Seeing Timothy in this state was unbearable. If he was going to compete for her, he wanted it to be a fair fight against Timothy and Herbert, not this tragic turn of events.
“Yates, don’t,” Timothy cut him off. He couldn’t bear to think about it. It was a sharp, physical pain.
The raw despair in his voice hurt Yates to hear. “I’m hanging up.”
Yates was about to book a flight when Kane Sutton walked in.
“Timothy posted that he’s single again, but I can’t reach him. Have you been able to?”
“What do you want him for?”
Kane grinned. “I saw his post and wanted to get the details. If he’s single, that means Sheila finally has her chance. She’s waited for him for so many years. I can’t stand to see her so unhappy.”
Yates’s face hardened. “Are you insane?”
“Why are you cursing at me?” Kane shot back, annoyed. “The Zimmermans would never have approved of his thing with Jessica anyway. He’s divorced now, he’s a free man.”

Dear autho, What happened to this novel? At least continue until the part where Jessica finds her peaceful life with her newly found family. And her ex husband dies in regret....
Just let Jessica divorce that scumbag so she can begin anew. Gosh! All that nonsense with that guy was so unnecessary....
Finally someone teaching Henry a lesson...
Any new updates. Please please let Jessica finally have a new life with her long lost family...
Wow .... finally!...
The plot of this novel is like an elevator. Its up then down, then up to be back to down again after. Same story. No interesting twists, always the same... naive Jessica, villain Timothy, so when can we have a refresher?...
