Forceful Marriage: Young Master's Mute Wife นิยาย บท 9

“Winson is already a little over a year old. You know, a child can barely remember anything before the age of 4. If you leave him now, he might not remember it in the future.”

Jessica clenched her fists tightly without showing any response.

Lady Cecilia noticed Jessica’s clenched fists. Her proud and contempt gaze at Jessica softened a bit as she sighed and said, “Why do you even insist on staying? There’s no love between you and Blake, and our family doesn’t like you. I’m sure you feel the same about us.

“You used every possible method to get into our family back then because you want to save your family, the Scotts, am I right? Now, Scotts Corporation might not be as strong as it was, but it has overcome the financial crisis.

“You can see it for yourself. With Blake’s status, what he needs is a wife that can help him in public and care for him in private. Unfortunately, you can’t do either.

“As for Winson, I know it’s hard for you to leave him, but the child will grow…Of course, no child will ditch their own mother, but do you really want people to laugh at him for having a mute as a mother? It will affect him growing up. After all, he is the future heir of the Ferguson family.”

Jessica lowered her head. She gripped her fists so tightly that her nails were embedded in her flesh. Her stiff body even started to tremble.

“Jessica, time flies. Think about it when you get back. If you leave Winson now, the pain will be short, and he will forget about you soon. Kim is good to Winson. She will take him as her own, so you don’t need to…”

Before Lady Cecilia could utter the word ‘worry’, Jessica had had enough, so she left.

…

Every time Jessica came back from the old Ferguson manor, she would be in a bad mood. Ms. Susan had gotten used to it.

Jessica asked her how Kim had gone back earlier. Did someone fetch her or did she leave by herself? Ms. Susan hesitated for a moment before she said, “Joe picked her up with the car.”
