Chapter 204: You are alive?
Davis inhaled deeply, his mind swirling with conflicting thoughts. Jessica’s conclusion about Vera seemed logical. No matter how he looked at it. It was an answer made the most sense. Perhaps he had never truly known who Vera was. He didn’t dare try to defend her—he couldn’t risk losing his wife to jealousy.
He had learnt his lesson the last time it happened at the Allen family house and till the end of his life he wouldn’t dare try.
But from an objective point of view, Vera didn’t seem like the one to gain the most.
"Why do you think your answer is the correct one?" he asked, his eyes fixed on Jessica’s face watching her closely, noting the determination in her expression. His gaze shifted to her lips as she spoke, analyzing the facts.
Jessica took a deep breath explaining her reasons and beliefs of why it was that way.
"Do you understand what I’m trying to say?" Jessica asked, realizing he hadn’t responded. When she looked up, she was surprised to find his gaze lingering on her lips, lost in thought.
Realizing his distraction, she blushed and looked away. She didn’t need to guess what was going through his mind.
Noticing her sudden shyness, a smile crept onto Davis’s face. "What are you thinking?" he teased.
"Mr. Allen, haven’t you heard that you shouldn’t mix business with pleasure?" she asked, slightly annoyed. "You’ll be the death of me," she murmured under her breath.
"Sorry," he replied with a smirk. "But I only have my wife with me right now, so it’s pleasure, not business."
He had to admit—she had the kind of charm that could shatter his principles.
