Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 219: How did you manage this?

Though Adah had spoken with energy and warmth which made Jessica feel relaxed and at home—being accommodating. She didn’t feel that way toward Tricia.

Tricia on her own part had remained silent. Her attention was entirely fixed on Davis, and she barely acknowledged Jessica’s presence in the room.

Her gaze was intense, longing, and a little too transparent for comfort. Jessica subtly glared at Davis, her eyes bearing an accusation of him attracting peach blossoms even in the midst of friends.

Alex glanced toward Tricia, waiting for her to contribute, at least a polite word or two to help Jessica feel more at ease among them.

"Tricia, right?" she said, as though just realizing her presence. Tricia blinked and looked at her. Jessica continued, her voice polite but laced with subtle authority, "It’s a pleasure meeting you."

A subtle smirk curved her lips as she watched Tricia’s expression twist with suppressed rage.

"Well, I appreciate that you’ve had the opportunity to visit, you’re welcome. Although you won’t be staying in Noveria, we do hope to see you around often."

"Thanks, I really appreciate that," Jessica replied smoothly.

Even though part of her was curious to know the kind of friends Davis had managed to keep over the years, she was grateful that at least a few of them were willing to accept her as his wife.
