Chapter 259: I frightened you again...
With her clothes changed and her resolve firm, Jessica returned to Davis’ side and gently took hold of his wheelchair.
A maid quietly trailed behind, hands full with a box of home-baked snacks and light refreshments. Deborah had carefully asked the kitchen to pack for her since she is heading out with Davis.
Though she had not taken over the cooking herself, everyone in the mansion had come to understand her place in the presence of Jessica and had subtly begun according to her the same respect.

The journey couldn’t be promised to be safe or unsafe and with Jessica and his unborn baby on board he had to take precautions since their returning had continuously circulated online.

"Careful on the bumpy path," Davis said quietly.
