No Longer Theirs: The One They Can't Replace Chapter 169
Jessica's gaze darkened, her lips pale. She had always been by Joshua's side. Aside from never sharing true intimacy with him, she believed she understood him better than anyone else.But that day, when he refused to stay with her at the hospital despite her pleas, she sensed that something had shifted between them.Five years ago, he had taken her to Montvera, even knowing Winter's due date was that week. That overwhelming devotion had begun to fade, and Jessica couldn't help but worry."Jessie, don't underestimate how a man's guilt or pity for a woman can work in her favor. If she knows how to use it, she can make him obsessed with her for life."Ruth gripped Jessica's shoulders and shook her firmly, adding, "We must think of a plan. They must get a divorce, and there can't be any chance of reconciliation."A chill passed over Jessica's face, murderous thoughts lurking just beneath. "But how am I supposed to control how he feels toward her? It might be better if Winter simply di

Clutching her rosary beads, Heather's expression turned cold. "Winter delivered Terry without complications and made it through the critical stage. Why would I need to tell you every detail?"You were forced into marrying her, and you don't even love her. Whether I told you back then, it wouldn't have changed anything. Even if you had rushed back, what could you have done? Why would I make things more complicated than they needed to be?"Joshua's head throbbed, pain shooting through him as his voice came out hoarse and strained. "Are you serious? Is Winter's life worth nothing to you? I may not love her, but that doesn't mean her life isn't worth saving."Is Jessica's life more precious than hers? I may have married Winter against my will, but she's still my wife. That makes her a woman you cannot mistreat, ignore, or deceive!"The vast hall echoed with his fury, each word heavy with anger.Heather paused mid-motion, then laughed, sharp and cruel. "Joshua, what's with you? Playing

"Oh, Mrs. Stroud, your son came to see you! He must be here to celebrate the success of your art show!"The high-society women's eyes lit up, and they showered Heather with flattery. "Your son is remarkable, the pride of Jeston's young generation!""Exactly! He's so handsome and talented. How could you let him marry so young? If it were me, I'd have waited, chosen the perfect woman for him. Men only grow more appealing with age. He would've had women flocking to him!"The others nodded eagerly in agreement.Heather smiled as she watched Joshua approaching, his expression cold and distant. "You speak my mind. Honestly, I regret letting him marry so early.""Oh? Don't you like your daughter-in-law? Just have them divorce and pick someone better!""That's right! Divorce is nothing for a man. But for a woman, once she's divorced and has children, she's practically off the market.""Wait… Is Mr. Stroud still married? I thought he got divorced a while ago…"Still staring Heather do

That would make Joshua pity Jessica even more and deepen his resentment toward Winter.Jessica leaned against the headboard, sipping the broth Ruth had made, her expression sulky. "Mom, I don't think Josh is coming today. Maybe I should just get discharged tonight.""Has Mr. Stroud not visited you these past few days?" Ruth asked.Jessica shook her head, frustrated. "He only called once to check on me.""Jessie, what's with him? Your relationship doesn't feel as close as before," Ruth said, worry creasing her brow. "You're in this state because of that bitch, Winter. If it were before, Mr. Stroud wouldn't have left you for a second. So why isn't he even here this time? Did you two fight?"Jessica pouted. "I wouldn't dare to have a fight with him! You said you won Dad over by being gentle, patient, and submissive. I've been following your method to the letter.""Then what happened?" Ruth asked, confused."Three days ago, I overheard Josh arguing outside with Winter's best friend.

Elijah's injuries weren't serious, so he only stayed in the hospital for three days before returning home.With no family left in Jeston, Winter took on the role of his caretaker, delivering his lunches and dinners rain or shine. Each meal was prepared with her own hands.She couldn't shake the guilt she felt. After all, Elijah had been targeted by Joshua because of her.The new suit Elijah had worn was ruined in the scuffle, and Winter worried he might be upset. To make amends, she bought an even finer set and had it couriered to his law firm. As for the black coat she had on hand, she figured she should find a chance to give it to Ezekiel.That evening, Winter was absorbed in her studio, focused on the latest HeartVault data model Louis had sent her. Immersed in her research, she barely noticed the phone ringing until it had gone off several times.It was her son, Terence.Winter hesitated for a moment before answering. "Terry, what—""How could you do that?"Terence's voic

Sasha broke down completely, crying like a child. "If I had known she was in that condition, I would've crawled to her side if I had to. At a moment that important, she had no one she could rely on. How unbearable must that have been for her?"Sean bit the bullet and uttered, "Ms. Sutton, please don't think too badly of Mr. Stroud. He was kept in the dark back then. He didn't know about—""Bullshit!" Sasha yelled. "If it weren't for him, Winz's life would've been bright, full of hope. But Joshua destroyed her!"Her fingers, wet with tears, jabbed into Joshua's heaving chest. "Was Winz's suffering some kind of cruel joke? When she needed you most, you were never there!"And now, just because she's finally found someone to care for her, you come out fuming, looking for trouble? Does it eat you alive to see her happy now?" Joshua curled his numb fingers, feeling every heartbeat pounding through his chest. He hadn't cared for Winter the way he should have. But seeing Elijah treat h
