A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 401

After John and Jessica left the crowd of reports and entered the hall, Jessica asked

him, “You’re not angry, are you? That I didn’t tell the journalists that Dicky wasn’t my

son.”

“I’m not,” John replied, and there was no emotion in his tone.

It was as if John did not care whatever she did, even if she did it right in front of him.

There were times when Jessica felt like a clown, entertaining no one but herself.

Her eyes flashed icily, and she told herself that he would be hers eventually-that was

the only way.

Thus, right now, she could bear with anything he threw her way.

Composing herself, she flashed a good-natured smile and explained, “I just didn’t

want people talking badly about Dicky, especially since his mother was never

revealed. I’m worried there’d be a psychological effect. I’ve already considered him my

own son, even when he was a baby.”
