Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt novel Chapter 2044

In the quiet cafe, Jessica took a big gulp of coffee without saying a word.

It was bitter, so bitter that her heart clenched.

For the first time in these years, someone had dug up her past that she had been cautiously hiding.

Nobody knew that was her biggest pain during her youth.

"No one has made more sacrifices than you have." Ryan looked at her gently. "Are you really willing to give up the company to someone else?"

"Ryan, how did you learn all these things?" Jessica suddenly asked.

“I learned it long ago."

Jessica stared fixedly at Ryan for a while before she laughed. "Ryan, has anyone told you that you're actually scarier than your dad? You were so young back then, but you already had control over many things."

"Jessica, I'm like you. When I was a child, Grandpa told me that my dad wanted to be the prime minister. Given that I'm his only son, I have to be more alert than anyone else, or I'll be a drag on my dad."

Ryan gave a bitter smile, but his gaze was sincere. " I've never thought of threatening you with this issue since this is your secret. I did feel sad for you, but I know that you’re not someone who'll easily regret your decisions."

"You're right. Even if I were given a second chance, I'd make the same decision."

Jessica said in a self-deprecating manner, "I'm a cruel devil, just like when I broke up with Forrest earlier. When I threatened Freya during her pregnancy, he even came to bag on me. He claimed that I'm despicable and shameless and that his biggest regret was having fallen in love with me."

"Jessica, it wasn’t your fault. Everyone wanted to be a good person, so you had no choice but to play the heavy. Even if you didn't play the heavy, someone else would do it."

Ryan comforted her gently, "What's more, you've been taking care of us brothers since we were young. Because of you, we had a happy childhood. To me, you've never been a pawn, which is why I respect you from the bottom of my heart."
