He Learns Love After Her Depature novel Chapter 8

Delighted, Lady Cecilia carried Winson and put him o n her lap. "Little Winson is really smart and sharp.

You spotted Daddy at first glance.”

Lady Cecilia glanced at Jessica and saw her peeling a n apple with the fruit knife.

The moment Jessica saw the TV screen, her hand slipped and she cut her finger with the fruit knife. Fortunately, it was just a shallow cut. While she was not seriously hurt, it still stung just like how the scene stung her heart.

Beside Blake was Kim. It was apparent that Kim was Blake's partner for the Mid-Autumn Gala.

Jessica and Blake had been married for a little more than two years. However, the heat surrounding their marriage had faded, and the husband and wife almost never got together in the public eye.

She was the mute wife who appeared in her husband's bed in such a degrading manner and was forced to get married because she got pregnant. The marriage was stretched to its limit. It was hanging on the edge and could break at any moment.

Everyone knew that Blake was married. While they knew he might have accepted the marriage on the outside, deep inside his heart, he never acknowledged the marriage. He just never put his feelings in words.

Whenever he appeared at any public event, the partner that he brought would range from upper-class socialites to celebrities. Jessica, who was Mrs.

Ferguson in name, had never accompanied him to any kind of event.

Although Jessica had gotten used to it, her numbed heart would still sting for a while.

Lady Cecilia said, "I heard the consul of the Spanish Embassy was invited to the gala. Fortunately, Ms.

Jackson is there to translate for Blake. How nice."

Jessica subtly curled her lips and showed a dull but polite smile.

Lady Cecilia had mentioned Kim's name twice in front of her tonight. Be it carrying out her duty as a mother t o raise the child at home, or the duty of a wife who accompanied her husband at a public event, Kim was the ideal daughter-in-law to Lady Cecilia.
