He Learns Love After Her Depature novel Chapter 15

Blake strode over as his expression turned cold.

On the other hand, Jessica gave the man a big thumbs-up for performing sign language perfectly. The man looked at her wide grin with a soft gaze and asked," How do I sign 'I'd like to buy you lunch'?"

Jessica did not overthink the situation. She instinctively showed the man how, and while she was at it, she did not realize that Blake was advancing closer.

Before she could finish showing the man the hand signs, a shadow approached her from the side and overshadowed half her body. In a heartbeat, she was pulled behind the person who approached her. 2

Surprised, she looked at the person with a blank gaze.

'Shouldn't Blake be with Kim back at the house, talking about the Spanish consul?’

Blake looked at the man coldly and said, "I've heard rumors about the second young master of the Waynes having unusual tastes such as taking a fancy to married women and stuff, but going after a woman with a child? That’s new."

Jessica was shocked because besides never having seen Blake criticize someone in such a sarcastic tone, what he said seemed surprising.

The man laughed at Blake's comment, not feeling offended at all. He said, "I didn't expect Young Master Ferguson to be a follower of the rumor mill."

Jessica sized up the man before Blake. No matter how she looked at him, with his bright, sunny disposition, h e did not look like someone with a strange fetish.

While she might come from an upper-class family and had gotten married into a wealthy and renowned family, she barely understood the world that she lived i n. Therefore, it was natural for her to be clueless that the man who had flicked the caterpillar away for her was the second young master of the Waynes.

When Donald, Jessica's father, started to lose money i n his investment, he had bugged her brother, John, about who to ask for help from. One of the considered candidates was the Waynes.

The first son of the Waynes got married a few years ago, and the second son, who was this man in front of Blake, was not the heir that the Waynes were looking for. Therefore, John decided to set Jessica up and sent her to Blake's bed.

In other words, Jessica could have become Thomas Wayne's wife if she had not ended up in Blake’s bed.
