The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 484

He chose Jessa.

Right then, the apartment door clicked open and Ella stepped into the hallway.

David and Jessa had made enough noise that Ella couldn’t ignore it. She peeked out, only to catch sight of David and Jessa holding each other close.

For a moment, Ella just stood there, stunned.

David heard the door and let go of Jessa. He turned to face Ella.

Their eyes met, and something twisted painfully inside David. He had no idea why, but letting go of Ella right now hurt more than he expected.

Jessa shot Ella a smug little smile, then let out a dramatic, “Ouch.”

David snapped his attention back to her. “What’s wrong?”

Jessa gave him her most helpless look. “My leg’s asleep. I can’t walk.”

She reached out for him. “David, can you carry me?”

Of course, David didn’t say no. He scooped Jessa up in his arms.

With Ella watching, he carried Jessa straight into his apartment.

Jessa glanced over David’s shoulder at Ella, arching her brows in triumph, like she was saying, You’ll never beat me.

The door clicked shut behind them.

Ella watched them disappear, her face calm and unreadable. There was no hint of anger or sadness. She and David were done.

She touched her still-flat stomach, then turned and went back inside her own apartment.

Jessa paused, confused. “David, you already picked me. Why are you pulling away? Don’t you want me?”

He gently took her hands and smiled softly. “Jessa, we aren’t married yet. I want to save our first time for our wedding night.”

Jessa’s eyes sparkled. “Alright, David. When my heart is better, you’ll marry me, right? I want to have your baby… no, two babies… I want to give you a whole soccer team.”

David grinned at her. “Get some rest. I’m going to the study to look over some files.”

“Okay.”

After he left, Jessa sat on the bed, grinning from ear to ear. Thank goodness she’d thought quickly and gone to Ella’s, and luck was on her side, too. Now that she had the pendant, nobody could question that she was David’s savior.

As long as she held onto this, she knew David would never let her go.
