Her mother had her head down in silence, the atmosphere in the living room turning frozen.
Jessie knew her mother still hadn’t made up her mind.
Although she was angry, only her mother could make the final decision.
“Mom, rember, nannies can easily get paid more than this. They’re just taking advantage of your kindness and think you’re easy to bully, even ignoring your efforts. We need to stand tall and tough when the situation calls for it. Call if you have any issues.”
She gave her mother so advice before leaving.
Thinking about Laura’s situation at ho made Jessie feel troubled and helpless. She couldn’t simply take her away by force—Luke was still her child, after all.
She arrived at her shop with a heavy heart.
In the evening, Jessie was about to close up and go clean up in the back kitchen when she heard a commotion at the door.
Assuming a custor had arrived, she hurried out with a welcoming smile. But the mont she saw who it was, her smile froze and twisted into hatred.
“What are you doing here?”
It was none other than her ex-boyfriend, Martin Shawn.
After seeing his true colors, she found him more disgusting than maggots.
Martin walked up and grabbed her wrist shalessly. He began, “Jess, I admit it was my fault before. Please forgive . I don’t mind that you kissed soone else in front of . We’re even now. So let’s be together peacefully from now on, okay?”
He sounded sincere, but he was only back for Jessie because his boss’s daughter had no interest in him at all.
Jessie refused without hesitation, shaking off his hand with disgust in her eyes. “Get out; you’re not welco here. And don’t forget that we already broke up, so leave alone.”
However, he wouldn’t give up and ca closer to touch her.“Jess, I know you are angry at . I’m sorry; I made a mistake back then. Can’t we just let bygones be bygones?”
“Who the hell wants to let bygones be bygones with you? Get lost!” She was repulsed by his touch, pushing him away.
Martin staggered back a few steps, surprised by her reaction. Then, his expression suddenly changed.
“Jessie! I’m already trying to reconcile with you, so stop being so ungrateful!”
She rolled her eyes at him and replied,“I’m already married!”
He laughed mockingly and said, “Stop kidding . Who could you marry in such a short ti? Show your husband if you have the guts to!”
“I’m her husband.”
Hearing the voice at the door, Jessie and Martin looked over at the sa ti.
They saw Kevin, who had sohow arrived and was standing at the entrance. His tall and muscular figure made Martin turn wary.
Kevin quickly walked up to Jessie, looking down and asserting dominance over Martin with silent pressure, and Martin was stunned in place.
When he finally spoke up, Martin recognized Kevin as the person he saw at the hospital and imdiately began yelling at Jessie.
“Jessie, you bitch, you do have so nerve! We dated so long, and I couldn’t even hold your hand, but you easily married a man you only t once!”
Jessie’s gaze was cold as she said, “You’re not welco here. Please leave!”
Martin glared at them viciously. Instead of leaving, he sat down on a chair inside and knocked on the table.
Kevin scratched his head awkwardly and trailed off.“Well...”
