Remarriage His Billionaire Ex-Wife novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 

Rebecca suddenly recalled that Lucas, who was never close to Rebecca, suddenly came to her to ask about Jessica. He wanted to know how Jessica spent those three years.

Rebecca felt more determined and took the initiative to say. “Sorry for asking you out when you are so occupied, Jessica.”

Jessica had been silently sipping her coffee, waiting for Rebecca to speak. Jessica smiled faintly when she heard that. “Mrs. Thomas, it’s very kind of you to say that. You’ve been asking to see me several times, yet I didn’t meet with you until today. It’s me who should say sorry. Besides, I was late today and kept you waiting. It’s so rude of me.’

Rebecca found it hard to go on with Jessica’s polite formula. The private room fell in silence. Rebecca felt so embarrassed, sitting there.

Jessica didn’t feel embarrassed. Rebecca must have something to say. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked to meet with Jessica over and over again.

Jessica poured herself a glass of iced water, poured Rebecca another glass, put down the kettle, and said, ‘To what do 1 owe you?

Rebecca nodded and took something out of her bag. ‘Jessica, I got this from Lucas’ grandma. Now that Lucas’ brother is dead, I don’t have to choose between Max’s wife and you.”

“I know you are occupied. Originally, I didn’t mean to bother you. But we were once mother and daughter in law for three years after all. I know you treated Lucas with hearts and minds. But I was too useless to protect you well. The other day, Lucas came to me and asked a lot about how you were doing in those three years.

“Lucas is my son. Though we are not close, I could tell that he had a place for you when he married you. But because of what happened between his father and me, his personality was affected. He is too reserved and talks too little. He holds a place for you, and I can tell that. The past is in the past. We should let bygones be bygones. You are still young now. Don’t waste time on the past. Now that you’ve been divorced for nearly a year. I suppose you have already calmed down. I hope you can give Lucas a second chance.”

Jessica kept smiling while listening to Rebecca.

As soon as Rebecca finished speaking, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Jessica smiled. ‘Mrs. Thomas, let’s have our meal now, shall we?”

Rebecca gazed at Jessica. Her smile was still there, yet she seemed never to have heard what Rebecca had said. Or perhaps Jessica heard it all, but she didn’t give it a damn.

Rebecca felt embarrassed. She forced a smile and said, ‘Sure, let’s have our meal now.”

Rebecca did not say anything else. She did not know what else to say.

Jessica did not speak, either. Only the collision between tableware could be heard.

Rebecca had lost her appetite. She was done after a few bites.

Rebecca felt a bit sullen when she found Jessica was savoring her meal.
