All Chapters of The Prison Bride: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Jack opened his eyes. His gaze was calm as he looked at Jessie. "What did they say that got you so nervous?"Jessie thought to herself, 'He's way too sharp.'"Nothing, just nonsense," she answered softly.When Jack saw her avoiding the question, he smiled. "A few days apart and suddenly you're acting like a stranger?"Jessie instinctively looked away and out the window."About what I told you before, are you really not going to think it over?" Jack asked.The moment she heard that, Jessie's body tensed and her heartbeat quickened. She told herself she had no feelings for Jack, yet his words still made her blush. "Didn't I make myself clear already?" she asked. Her face turned red."You're really not going to reconsider?" Jack pressed."I'm not interested in a womanizer," Jessie said bluntly.Jack chuckled at that. "And what if I explained myself?""Go on then, I'm listening." Jessie wasn't actually convinced. She was just curious.Jack heard how naturally she said it and cle

Jessie cleared her throat, walked over to a chair, and sat down. She took a couple more bites of bread, sipped some water, and asked Jack, "You still haven't answered my question from yesterday.""Why don't you first ask him if he's even willing to meet you? If I just rush in and look for him, what if I offend him?"Jack leaned back on the sofa. He spoke with a straight face.Jessie chewed the bread in her mouth, looked at him for a moment, and finally said, "If he were willing, why would I be asking you for help?""That won't do. You said he's also in the computer field. If I start digging around for him, he'll figure it out easily." Jack met her gaze. "You're more than capable of finding him yourself, so why not do it?""He taught me how to code. He knows me too well. That's why I think it's better for you to do it." Jessie took another sip of water."Then it's impossible. Looking into someone who's good at this stuff makes it too easy to get sued. And in my line of work, if I

Jack didn't respond.Jessie knew better than anyone what three years in prison meant. She hadn't come out broken or resigned to her fate.Instead, she had pushed herself in every way possible, determined to live like everyone else.She put away her phone, leaned back on the sofa, and looked out the window. "I just worry that maybe they were right, that after prison, I really can't do anything anymore.""You worked on a lot of things there, didn't you? You picked up plenty of high-tech skills. You're not out of touch with the world, and you're definitely not useless." Jack's voice was calm.Jessie smiled a little. "At least York Enterprise doesn't discriminate against me, and neither do you guys. You still come to me with projects. That makes me really happy."Jack's expression softened.Smiling, he asked, "So as long as you've got a project to work on, you're happy?""Yeah. When I was inside, whenever I got to take on a project, I learned so much. Before that, when I wasn't all

After hearing what they said, Jessie felt some of her unease disappear."I'll try to adjust. I promise I won't hold up your work again tomorrow." She hadn't expected herself to sleep all the way until nightfall."It's fine. I just didn't think it through. I only wanted to help you get a good night's sleep and didn't consider your situation. If you need more time to adjust, just stay here a few more days. We've got plenty of room. It's my family's place after all." Ronny waved it off, sounding lighthearted.But deep down, he was beating himself up. He felt like he really had no filter. His careless words had left Jessie feeling both guilty and uneasy.Honestly, bringing her here wasn't just about work."Don't listen to him. You just got to a new country. It takes time to adjust," Jack said as he cut into his steak. He sounded a little irritated."Jet lag is rough. Focus on your health first. Besides, we're all your friends. What kind of friends would be harsh on each other?" Harry

"I can't remember what she said. How did she cross the line?" Jessie asked out of curiosity."At the time, I didn't believe you were some guy's mistress. But the way she spoke was deliberately leading me in that direction. Once I realized her intent, I made up my mind."Jack's gaze was dark and locked on Jessie. He added, "Tell me, shouldn't someone like that be dumped right on the street?"Feeling embarrassed by his stare, Jessie looked away.She hadn't expected that the reason he "broke up" with that woman was related to her."Thank you."No matter what, she still owed him thanks, even if they came late."No need to thank me." Jack dragged out his words. There was a playfulness to his tone.After a short while, Ronny returned with the first-aid kid.As soon as he walked in, he grabbed Jack's hand and frowned. "Looks like you won't be able to help tonight. Jessie, can you take care of him for me?""Of course," Jessie agreed right away.She wasn't doing much in the kitchen a
