She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508

Dominic suddenly found the timing of Linda’s call suspicious. He had arrived openly, so if anyone in the villa was watching, his presence would hardly be a secret to that woman.

The thought made Dominic frown. By that logic, Jessica had been under surveillance the entire time. This extraordinarily capable noblewoman was also rather domineering.

Jessica, however, did not dwell on it. She refused at once. “I don’t want to go back to the capital. It’s so boring there.”

Linda chuckled softly.

“Jessica, stop fooling around. You’ve had your fun. It’s time to come back. After all, your home is in the capital.” Her tone sounded gentle, yet it carried unquestionable authority.

Jessica pursed her lips. “I’ll think about it later.”

“All right, all right.” Linda did not press the matter. She let out a light sigh. “You’re our only daughter. You’re alone in Skyline City and unfamiliar with the place. What if something happened? How could I feel at ease?”

Jessica replied, “My uncle is here. Nothing will happen to me.”

“Your uncle holds an important position. He is busy every day and cannot look after you personally,” Linda said with another sigh. “I’m only looking out for you. And your grandfather, your older brother, and your younger brother all miss you.”

Jessica hesitated for a moment before speaking again. “I’ll think about returning to the capital later.”

“Mm.” Linda seemed satisfied with the answer and gave a small nod.

Dominic listened the entire time. He could not help feeling that this woman was extraordinary. With only a few casual remarks, she had completely steered Jessica without provoking her rebellious streak, yet still guided the conversation toward her goal.

Linda then picked up an apple and began to peel it carefully. As she worked, she said in a casual tone, “Jessica, in just over a month, you’ll be 20. When I was your age, I already had your brother.”

Jessica glanced at Dominic, her face faintly flushed. “Things aren’t like before. Who gets married that early now?”

Linda sighed again. “Our family is different from others. Marrying early and having children early can also benefit the family. Recently, I’ve been making an effort to find you a suitable match.”

“I… didn’t ask you to do that,” Jessica protested anxiously. “I can choose for myself.”

A flicker passed through Linda’s eyes. She smiled faintly and asked, “Oh? Do you have someone you like?”

Jessica suddenly grew nervous. She wanted to reveal Dominic, yet her reason suppressed the impulse.

“Not yet,” she said. “Who knows what might happen later?”

Linda nodded. “You’ve always been lively since you were little, and you’re very pretty. It’s not difficult for someone to like you. Recently, many young men in the capital have come to visit me. Some of them are quite outstanding.

“Take Shaun from the Jones family, for example. Refined, well–mannered, truly exceptional. Best of all, you’ve known him since childhood, and he still hasn’t forgotten you.”

Jessica’s expression shifted at once. “Mom, why bring him up? I don’t like him.”

Linda smiled. “Sometimes, liking is not important. Compatibility matters more. I think Shaun is a good choice. He is both willing and capable of protecting you, which puts my mind at ease.”

Jessica’s jaw tightened. “I don’t need him to protect me.”

Linda waved a hand lightly and spoke in a calm voice. “Jessica, you’re still young. You don’t understand how treacherous people

can be. Sometimes, dangerous people appear, and you may not recognize them. If Shaun is by your side, I can feel a little more at ease. At least…”
