Chapter 127 Calling It Quits 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

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?”
She looked at the man whose face turned on a sixpence and smirked. “I’m so thankful I got to know
who you really are before we got married!”
Just as she was going to grab her phone and leave, it suddenly rang. Because it was placed on the
table, Ben clearly saw that it was her father who was calling her. His lips curled up into a mocking
smile. As long as that old geezer doesn’t want to call off this marriage, no one else can say otherwise.
“Answer it, Jessica. I’ll explain to you later. I like you. I will never give up on you!” Her brows furrowed
together slightly as an unpleasant feeling washed over her. She slid her finger across the screen to
answer the call. Even though she was fuming, she did not make a sound. A man’s voice came through
the phone. “Jessica, are you with Ben?” How could he not know whether we’re together or not? “Is
there a problem?” She was still stand-offish. “You don’t have to be mad anymore. I won’t force you. You
can break off the marriage with Ben if you want to. He has caused so much trouble. I don’t want to
marry you off to a dreg like him.” Her expression remained unchanged until the phone call ended. What
is Dad saying? Did he just agree to call off the marriage? Before she could wrap her head around it, a
call came on Ben’s phone. He immediately sat up straight when he saw the familiar name and spoke
as if he was treading on thin ice. “A-Aunt Lara?” “Where are you?”

the call. Just then, Jessica, who was sitting across from him, stood up with a profound smile on her
face. She carried her bag and walked out of the restaurant without saying another word to him.
