You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 389

Stopping to look at Jessica, Maya saw the burning jealousy and resentment in her eyes.

Turning to face Jason, Maya looked at him as if asking for help. "Professor Fu…"

"Maya, it's okay," Jason said gently with a smile. "You can go now."

But just as Maya pushed the door open, she came across Richard who had brought the chessboard. Stepping aside quickly, she made way for him to pass.

At this moment, Jessica grabbed Maya's wrist and gripped it tightly. Maya's face turned pale from the pain. "We have something to talk about. Come with me."

"What is it?" Maya asked nervously.

Meanwhile, John looked at Richard and instructed him, "Richard, send Jessica back home."

John's voice was deep and firm. There was a certain seriousness in it that prevented other people from questioning him.

Jessica tried to speak but eventually held her tongue. In the end, she didn't resist, and Richard escorted her back to Stone Road.

While playing chess with Sam, Jason's mind was elsewhere, so he lost the game for no reason.

"What are you thinking about?" Sam asked. He knew what was on Jason's mind, but he still asked.

"Nothing," Jason replied passively. "Your chess skills have improved a lot."

When John told him about the divorce just now, Sam was not surprised at all. It seemed that the whole Shi family had already known about it, so Jason didn't need to call him Dad anymore.

Sam didn't seem to care. He just quietly rearranged the white chess pieces in neat rows.

After the second round, Jason chuckled, "Oh. I lost again."

The first time he lost because he was naive. He had known that Jessica's love for him was not pure. Despite this, he still decided to marry her. But in the end, their divorce was no surprise.

The second time he lost because he still loved her. Jason had thought about how to greet Jessica politely when they met. He didn't want to show much how sad and affected he was by their divorce. But when he saw Jessica, his words felt like a lump stuck in his throat. He could not look her in the eye.

Every time he glanced at her face, he couldn't help but want to come back to her.

Jason had liked her since childhood. Even at a young age, he knew that he had a lot of work to do to be enough for her.

Despite all that happened, he still felt that he couldn't give up now. It wasn't because of how much love and dedication he had given her that he couldn't move on. It was simply because he still loved her.

No one forgets their first love. Jessica was Jason's first and only love.

"No one will lose all the time. Let's switch sides. This time, I will play the white."

Without waiting for his answer, Sam replaced Jason's chess pieces with the black ones, and he took the white pieces to his side of the board.

In the third round, Jason won.

Sam smiled at him, but Jason just looked at him in confusion.

"Well, this chess game is over. That piece you hold in your hand is my gift to you."

Raising his hand, Sam signaled to the butler to push him back to the bed.

Sam needed to rest. Only the three family members would stay in the ward to take care of him. The others would go back to their homes to get some rest and then change shifts.

Even though John and Jason couldn't be a family, they were good friends who grew up together.

When the two of them were just about to find someplace quiet to talk, Lena suddenly came over. "Mr. Shi, something came up. Amy wants to talk to you."

Since Amy was in Spring City, she must have something urgent about Nina to tell him. John quickly picked up the phone.

"Say it."

"Mr. Shi, Ms. Shi is missing. Please come to Spring City as soon as possible."

With a nervous look on his face, John snapped, "Missing? What do you mean by missing? When did she disappear?"

Trembling with fear, Amy mumbled, "I couldn't find her since last night."

"Last night?" John raised his voice. "Why didn't you say it until now?"

It wasn't actually a question. John was scolding her for the delay.

"Mr. Shi, I couldn't get in touch with anyone yesterday."
