At the ball, the man who was interested in Jessica all the time walked towards Jessica and asked pleasantly in English, "Madam, would you please dance with me?"His accent was neither British accent nor American accent. According to his appearance, he was likely to be an Australian. When he waited for her reply, his gaze was gentle. Jessica had no reason to refuse, so she nodded in agreement.The dance music started. They joined in the dancing crowd. They cooperated politely and tacitly.The man introduced himself that he was one of the executives of Charm Valley Group's Overseas Business Department, William.Jessica also introduced herself that she was a host and one of the executives of Wasin Group.William had a moment of enlightenment and said, "It turns out that you're a host.

At the weekend, Jakesville TV Station arranged for its employees to go to a hospital and have a routine checkup.After Jessica and Gail finished the checkup and walked out, they saw a young man standing in the lobby with roses in his hands. The moment Gail saw him, she stopped walking with duck feet and looked ladylike.The young man walked up to them with a smile. He gave roses to Gail and greeted them shyly.Jessica raises her eyebrows and asks Gail, "Who's this?""Ha-ha," Gail grinned mischievously, "Let me introduce him to you. He is Nick Carter, my boyfriend."She then whispered to Jessica, “I just started dating him. I will share more details with you later. I have to go now.""Okay!"Jessica gave Gail a push from behind her.Seeing Gail leave with her boyfriend happily, Jessica stood there and wanted to laugh. No wonder Gail had no feelings for her ex-boyfriends. It turned out that she fell in love with a new boyfriend...Jessica was in a good mood to go out, but she su
Standing amidst people coming and going, Jessica was dazed for quite some time.She should have anticipated this a long time ago…Images of her encounters with Flora kept flashing across her mind.Flora vomited in the restroom during the ball. When she received a checkup at the hospital, she unprecedentedly wore flat shoes… All the signs indicated her pregnancy! *Without noticing it, Jessica stood there for a long time and mechanically went out of the hospital door.Her phone beeped in her bag. It was a message from Christian, "Off work? I may have to work late tonight."His tone was natural. Presumably, he didn't know the matter with Flora. She paused and texted back briefly, "Me too."She put the phone down, but her fingers were still shaking involuntarily.She didn't know where to go, nor did she want to go home. In the end, she decided to work overtime at the station. In short, she didn't want to see Christian right now.She drove back to the station.Her mi
Jessica stayed up the whole night. She drank coffee to keep a clear head the following whole day.Finally, she was about to get off work. Noticing that the appointed time with Christian was getting close, she even felt a little restless.It was rare for her to be so restless for something...She was too anxious to wait. Thus, she got off work earlier and went there directly.Jessica went to the appointed restaurant and told a waiter Christian's name. The waiter showed her the way to the private room politely.When she walked into the room, she found that Christian and Flora had been there already...They sat face to face. The atmosphere was thick with tension. It seemed that they hadn't communicated yet."It turns out that we're waiting for you!"Seeing Jessica walking in, Flora sneered. She reached out to stroke her flat belly deliberately. "Don't you know that I'm pregnant and thus I can't sit for a long time? Is it proper to keep me and my baby waiting for you so long?"Chr
Christian's resolute attitude toward Flora's pregnancy somewhat relieved Jessica of her anxiety.She watched their confrontation, involuntarily unclasped her fingers, and found bloodstains left by her nails in her palms.When it came to other things, she was more than capable and confident. This time, however, she suffered from a mental conflict. On the one hand, she believed in Christian; on the other hand, she felt uncertain.The uncertainty arose from the embryo in Flora's womb…Christian got up, interrupted her distraction, grabbed her hand, and stated, "Let's go."Flora followed him to get up and glared at them viciously, "Christian, do you intend to leave without an explanation?"Flora tried to stop them, but Christian's fierce gaze deterred her."Ask for my explanation when you prove the child carries my DNA!" Following that, Christian pulled Jessica to stride out. The door of the booth was slammed shut. Christian led her to get the car.In reflex, Jessica struggled an
After returning to Jakesville TV Station, Jessica still felt a bit dazed.A few editors of her team worked overtime and showed her today's program progress. After that, it was already very late, so they clocked out.She was left alone in the empty and quiet office.The clock on the wall, the soft light on the corner of the table, and the aroma of coffee wafting from time to time all seemed to remind her that it was time to go home.She said to herself, "You just told Christian you would go home. Now, what are you going to do?”Finally, she gathered her courage and decided to face the reality and drive home!When she got home, Fannie came to greet her and asked, "Have you had dinner, Mrs. Maddox?""Yes, I have."She replied perfunctorily, but in fact, she had no appetite at all and didn't want to eat anything.Noticing that Jessica’s gaze drifted around the house, Fannie said smartly, "Mr. Maddox is in the study. He ordered me to prepare tonic for you after he came home. It is
