Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 127

Jessica pulled her hand back coldly and snapped, “Just tell me what you have to say. I still have work to do!”

Ben lowered his head and had a look of bitter resentment on his face. “Jessica, I know you’re only this mad because you still have feelings for me. I know that anything I say now will sound unreasonable to you, but don’t be so quick to reject me. Give me a month. If you’re happy with me, then we can start dating again. If you’re not happy with me, then you can break up with me whenever you want to. Okay? You know just as well as I do that us being together will be the best outcome for everyone.”

Jessica sneered. “You’re so sure that I can’t leave you, aren’t you? Before this arranged marriage, I knew about your infamous reputation out on the streets. I admit that you have your way with women. I used to like you. But I am a Virgo! I hate filth! Whether it’s a person or an object, if someone else has touched it before, then I don’t want it, much less like it!” Rummaging through her bag, she pulled out a car key and tossed it on the table, followed by a debit card and a few jewelry boxes. “This is everything you bought for me. I’m giving it back now. I’ve used some things already, so take the money in this card as compensation. From now on, we’re through! Don’t even hope to see me through my dad!”

His face fell in an instant. “Do you have to be this cruel, Jessica?”
