Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 502

“What would you do if I had really died this time?” Jessica suddenly asked.

Peter immediately froze on the spot.

Peter did not turn around. After a moment of silence, Peter spoke.

“If anything happens to you, I will join you.”

Peter’s words were very soft, but the complete surety in his tone was unquestionable.

Jessica, who was sitting on the hospital bed, instantly pursed her red lips.

Jessica could not help but recall Peter kneeling down willingly for her.

Peter was such a proud person.

But for Jessica, Peter was willing to kneel to his opponent.

Peter was even willing to crawl and humiliate himself for her.

Perhaps… Jessica could really try again.

“Peter, I hate deceit the most in my life, especially the deception from those close to me!”

“I know…” Peter’s voice was full of bitterness.

The mistakes Peter had made in the past could never be undone in this lifetime.

“I can’t forgive you for what you did to me before!” Jessica said once more.

“I know…” Peter’s voice lowered further.

Honestly, Peter did not expect Jessica to ever forgive him.

Peter held back the pain in his heart and prepared to leave.

Peter didn’t want Jessica to feel worse looking at him.

After all. Jessica still needed to recuperate, and her emotions could not become too agitated.

But just as Peter was about to step out of the room, Jessica’s firm voice came from behind him, “Although there’s no way I can forgive you about what happened in the past, we can still… start over.”

When her words reaching Peter’s ears, Peter felt as though a bright light suddenly illuminated the darkness he was in.

The hopelessness in Peter’s eyes began to recover and shine once more.

Peter turned around to look at Jessica on the bed in utter disbelief.

“What… did you just say?” Peter’s voice was trembling.

“I said, if you want, we’ll start over!” Jessica said once more.

“Say that again! Repeat what you said again!” Peter’s demeanor was extremely exuberant.

Jessica did not answer immediately. She stared at Peter and said solemnly, “I said, do you want to start over with me?”

Peter’s eyes immediately grew red.

Then, Peter sobbed and looked at Jessica in front of him.

“If you’re lying to me, then you must be… the cruelest person in the world.

Seeing that Peter did not dare to come close to her even at this moment, Jessica slowly lifted the blanket away from her and got out of bed.

Then, Jessica walked slowly toward Peter.

Jessica stood on her tiptoes and gave Peter a light hug.

“Although I have always told you to establish clear boundaries between us and never to appear before me again, I feel that by saying these, it is already clear that I could never treat you as transparent.

“The only reason I said those things was because I was terrified my heart would waver.

“But Marina told me that we only have a few short decades in our lives.

“No one knows when an accident will happen. For example, we don’t know when we will die.

“Indeed, I still can’t let go of the past, but when I’m close to death, I still feel a trace of regret.

“So I don’t want to lie to myself anymore. If the past can’t be forgiven, then let’s start over.

“I don’t know how it will end in the future, but at least for this moment, I want to do this.”

Jessica leaned into Peter’s embrace, speaking softly.

Honestly, Jessica was gambling as well.

But the current Jessica was different from the Jessica she once was. In the past, she had nothing.

Now, Jessica had her own career, and the confidence and courage to face life alone.

Therefore, even if the two of them still couldn’t escape their previous fate, at the very least, Jessica would not lose everything.

Therefore, Jessica could risk it all for once.

Hearing Jessica’s words, Peter hugged her tightly.

“You don’t have to worry. I won’t let you get hurt again.

“I will make you the happiest person in the world!” Peter sounded as though he was swearing with his life.

“Yes,” Jessica replied with her eyes closed.

Life was so vibrant and diversified because no one could predict what would happen in the future.

Thus, be bold and go forth.

After knowing that Jessica and Peter had reconciled, Marina was unsurprised.

Marina had always known that Jessica had never let

go

of Peter.

They just needed an opportunity.

This incident gave them one last push. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Still, Marina gave Peter a good lecture.

“You’re lucky to be forgiven by Jessica.

“I’ll say this first. You may be my brother, but if you let Jessica get hurt again, I won’t let you off.”

“Don’t worry. Even if I die, I won’t let Jessica get hurt.” Peter held Jessica’s hand tightly.

“What do you mean ‘die? Don’t say it again. It’s not a good word!” Jessica frowned and said.. “Alright, if you tell me not to. I won’t!” Peter agreed with a smile.

Peter looked like a lion who had been appeased.

Marina shook her head in resignation.

Peter probably would never have imagined that he would one day be dominated by a woman like this. Peter, who had finally been forgiven by Jessica, desperately wanted to legalize their relationship.

Therefore, Peter dragged Jessica to the city hall the next day.

The moment Peter received the marriage license, he immediately began bragging on social media.

“From today onwards, I’m legally attached!”

The accompanying photo was of a freshly–issued marriage license.

Marina rolled her eyes

and gave the post a like.

Marina sent a wedding gift to Jessica too.

Jessica did not want to hold a wedding ceremony anymore, thus Marina could only send her blessings this way.

Jessica did not decline and accepted it directly.

After all, their friendship had already surpassed materialism.

On the other hand, Peter was preparing for their honeymoon with great fanfare.

However, Jessica showed him an employment letter.

“What do you mean? What do you mean by this?” Peter stared at the employment letter in his hand for a long time. Then, Peter looked up at Jessica pitifully.

“From tomorrow onwards, I’m going to work at Bailey Group as Marina’s assistant!” Jessica enunciated each word clearly. “Aren’t we going on our honeymoon? Why did you suddenly get employed?

“And even if you want to join, why did you have to go to Bailey Group? Can’t you be my secretary?” Peter looked like a

pitiful puppy right now.

Jessica rubbed Peter’s head.

“There’s no need for something like a honeymoon. I’m not too interested in traveling.”

“As for work, the reason why I came to you as a secretary previously was because I hoped to learn something and go back to help Marina.”

“But I also need your help!” Peter still wanted to persuade Jessica to stay.

After all, it would be quite exciting to romance his wife in the office.

“You already have so many secretaries. You don’t need me.” Jessica was very insistent.

“Why not? You’re the only one I need!” Peter still pestered her.

Jessica reached out and pushed Peter’s body away.

“Alright, stop being unreasonable. You’re an adult.”

Seeing that it was useless to act cute, Peter stood up and carried Jessica over his shoulder.

Then, Peter walked straight to the bedroom..

“What are you doing? Put me down!” Jessica struggled on Peter’s shoulder.

“You’re going to be someone else’s secretary. Shouldn’t you make it up to me?” Peter raised his hand and gently patted Jessica Rodriguez’s rear.

Then, Peter carefully placed her on the bed and leaned forward, sealing Jessica’s subsequent words with his mouth.
