The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 637

“I’ve had a heart condition since I was a kid. I’ve never really felt whole. When I finally found you, Dad, I thought everything would change. But you don’t love me. I had to do all these desperate things just to get you to care about me.”

Jessa’s tears fell fast, her hurt plain as day.

Moss looked at her, his feelings tangled up inside. “Jessa, you never had to do any of that. This is on me. I should have noticed what you were going through…”

“Dad, we’ve been apart for so long. I thought once we reunited, you’d be there for me. I thought you’d love me, just me, spoil me, care about me no matter what. But I was just fooling myself. Mom’s been gone for years, and now I want to see her again. I want to tell her that you never really loved me.”

Hearing her talk about her mother hit Moss hard. The seriousness in his eyes softened. He stepped closer. “Jessa, I’m sorry. I really am. Give me another chance, please. I’ll make it right. Let’s go back to the Capital together. Anything you want, I’ll get it for you.”

Jessa choked back a sob. “Do you mean it, Dad? If you’re lying to me, I’ll jump right now.”

She was swaying, looking like she could fall into the sea any second.

Moss felt his heart pound. “Jessa, I would never lie to you. I’ll keep my distance from Ella from now on. I won’t do anything that upsets you. Will you come back here now?”

Jessa paused for a long moment. “Okay, Dad. I’ll trust you one more time.”

Slowly, she climbed down from the bridge.

Moss rushed over and pulled her into a hug. “Don’t ever do this again. You scared me so much.”

Jessa hugged him tightly. “As long as you love me, I won’t do anything reckless.”

“Alright, Jessa. Let’s go back to the Capital together. I’ll throw a huge party to welcome you home.”

She nodded. “Okay.”

Just then, Ella and David arrived. Ella stepped out of the car and saw Moss and Jessa hugging. She paused.

Jessa saw her too, and her lips curled into a slow, smug smile.

It was a look that said, I’ve won.

Ella stood rooted to the spot.
