Chapter 333

At his words, Jessica's face shadowed slightly.

Indeed.

They were each other's closest confidants.

Their roles in each other's lives had been clearly defined from their days in Slab.

With this understanding, Jonathan was always ready to assist Jessica, even anticipating that she might one day make an outrageous request, confident he would not refuse.

But what about her?

When faced with him, how could she prevent her heart from stirring?

"Sometimes I wonder why we met each other so late, Jonathan. Do you understand what I mean?" Jessica asked, her voice tinged with self-mockery as she interlaced her fingers behind her back.

Jonathan was silent for a moment. Of course, he understood.

Had it not been for Adela's appearance, perhaps he would have joyously tried to cultivate his relationship with Jessica and experience the many facets of emotions alongside her.

Such a life could indeed be pleasant.<
