146. A Servant
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Several weeks had passed since everyone found out she was pregnant, and Jessica's life had actually been going smoothly since that day. She worked as usual at the magazine company, but Karl limited her work outside the company. She still took photos of models for the magazine, but she only did indoor photo shoots in the company building.
Of course, this was actually boring for her adventurous spirit. Before she was pregnant, she enjoyed the most when she could do outdoor photo shoots, but her boss suddenly became so nice to her and only gave her indoor work.She was very sure it was because her mother contacted her boss privately a few weeks ago. Even if Karl was the number one person in the company, he was nothing more than a baby when he had to face her mother, and that was why it was understandable that the man listened to her mother so well.Actually, Jessica needed to thank her boss because her body was indeed weaker since she became pregnant.

Jessica's parents' sudden visit actually wasn't that surprising because they had done that many times before, and they were also expected to meet Tyler someday. After all, Tyler lived under the same roof as Jessica and Noah, and his body was too big to be hidden somewhere in the apartment forever. However, there was something different about the explanation they prepared when Tyler came forward to introduce himself in front of the parents. ‘Why does he have to lower himself by saying that he is a servant in this house?’ Jessica gritted her teeth as she openly looked at the man sitting next to her this time. Her eyes were full of scolding, but Tyler didn't even look at her and continued to look at her parents. The living room was enveloped in silence for a moment, but it was suddenly broken by Luke's laughter. “You sure know how to joke, young man! You are Noah's best friend, and I'm sure neither Noah nor Jessica see you as a servant here. You
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 148. The Lively Dining Room
The dining room looked lively tonight. Usually, only three people eat at that table, but this time, there were five people. Noah had returned home with a bag of apples in his hand. On his way home from work, he received a call from Tyler asking him to stop by the supermarket to buy some apples, and he listened very well to the order. In the end, Jessica was able to satisfy her craving when the apple pie was ready on the table. She was almost drooling at the sight of the apple pie, and she was about to reach out her hand to take the food when someone's voice suddenly stopped her. "Eat the main course first before eating dessert, kid," Jessica's father suddenly stopped her daughter. Jessica pouted unhappily when her father didn't let her enjoy the food she wanted to eat the most, but she still listened to him while turning her attention to the other dishes on the table. It had been a few weeks since she moved back into this apartment,

She thought she was the one holding the puppet's strings, but it turned out that there was a rope tied around her neck, and the person holding the rope from afar was none other than Sarah Jones. The first time she met the doctor was a few months ago, and she had a good impression of her because she was quite friendly and understanding. Her smile was warm and radiant, and she was not one to judge or force people to listen to her advice. Jessica didn't actually have a problem with the doctor, but she wanted to avoid her at all costs. The reason was that the doctor knew the secret about Noah. 'If I suddenly came to her while I was pregnant, she would definitely be surprised. She will definitely feel suspicious about my pregnancy, and there is a possibility that she will reveal everything to my mother,' she thought to herself. She was lucky enough because Sarah was willing to lie to her mother by saying that there was nothing wrong with Noah's tes

Tyler suddenly sounded cornering, and Jessica was quite surprised by the tone the man used. She initially thought that Tyler wouldn't bother thinking about the father of her child after their agreement a few weeks ago. Back then, he agreed to pretend as if he had nothing to do with her pregnancy, and that meant he was willing to accept that Noah was the father of her child. But maybe things weren't that simple in the end. Tyler still saw the possibility that the fetus in her womb was his, and since there was no one else besides them in the car, he decided to take the opportunity to confront the blonde woman. Jessica didn't even know how to answer that, but she was saved by the fact that they had arrived at the hospital not long after Tyler had asked her the hard question. She only said that she had to go to the doctor immediately because she had already made an appointment with the doctor, and Tyler had no choice but to follow. It was one of the largest

"The material has been prepared, right, sis?" "What material?" “Why do you look confused? Didn't you read the group chat? We will have a meeting with the people from ‘Blush N Lush’ at eleven today, and you are the one who has to present your plan in front of them.” “…” Jessica was stunned after hearing what her assistant had just said to her. Without responding to what the younger woman had just said, she immediately grabbed her cell phone and opened a certain group in the chat application. It was a group called “Work Hard 26/7,” and she was quietly browsing the chat room. “I muted this group because it gets too annoying sometimes,” she muttered to herself, but then her blue eyes widened as she found something she shouldn't miss. It was a notice that came from her boss last night, informing everyone in the company that the meeting with the cosmetic brand "Blush N Lush" that was supposed to be held tomorrow was moved to toda
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 152. That Makes Me Unhappy
Jessica looked at her watch after leaving her boss's office, and at this time, she knew someone who was at home. She memorized that person's schedule, and that was why she was sure that that person was at home. So, she immediately walked towards her desk, and she was lucky because her assistant was no longer at her desk. Instead, the younger woman had returned to her desk, and she was even wearing headphones, indicating that she was working on something seriously. Jessica had no intention of meeting her assistant at all, and she just grabbed her cell phone from her desk before dialing a number. On the third ring, the phone was picked up, and she immediately spoke to the person, “Hi, are you still home?” She was in a hurry, but she still had time to greet the person while bringing herself to sit in her seat. “I'm still at home,” the person answered. “Why do you ask? Do you miss me already? But it hasn't even been two hours since we parted, right?”

“…” Jessica was taken aback by Tyler's question, and for a moment, she tried to understand what he was talking about. "What did you just say?" She then asked. “I'm talking about your laptop wallpaper,” Tyler replied. “I'm annoyed because you used Noah's photo as wallpaper.” “…” Jessica fell silent once again, and she tried to remember what kind of wallpaper she had for her laptop. She even frowned while her face showed a hint of confusion, but then she replied, “Stop trying to prank me! I'm sure I didn't use Noah's photo as wallpaper! I believe I used a photo I took at Fort Tilden as wallpaper, and there's no trace of your boyfriend's bitchy face on my laptop screen at all!” Jessica scolded the man when she realized he was trying to bully her. She remembered very well that she used a sunset photo she took at Fort Tilden several months ago as her laptop wallpaper. There was no Noah in the photo, there was not even a single human being there. On

The presentation in front of the people of "Blush N Lush" during the meeting today went smoothly. She told Tammy that the presentation was emailed to her by someone, and her assistant looked confused before asking about the person who sent it. Later, Jessica had to reveal the truth that she had been living under the same roof as Tyler in front of her assistant. Of course, Tammy was more than just shocked after hearing this revelation, she even demanded further explanation. However, Jessica acted as if she had pressed the mute button on her assistant, and that was why it appeared as if her assistant was only moving her lips but not a single word could be heard by Jessica. That was how she purposely ignored her assistant while she was busy preparing the presentation. Her ideas explained in the presentation were accepted at the meeting, and Karl even gave her a thumbs-up. But she just rolled her eyes lazily at her boss, and she chose to leave her workplace on time t

“Mom, are we really going to stay overnight at Grandma's house today?” Glancing in the rearview mirror to look into the back seat, Jessica could see how her son kept swinging his legs while asking the question. His cute movements only showed that the blonde boy was very excited to hear his mother's answer. But, this wasn't even the first time Shane had asked that question, and Jessica actually had answered the same question before. Thankfully, Jessica didn't get tired of hearing her son's excitement, and she smiled while shaking her head helplessly before answering, "We're going to have a sleepover at Grandma's house for real, but why are you so excited about that, Shane?" Jessica could keep glancing at the boy because she didn't need to focus on driving. But, the answer to her question came not from her son but from her daughter, "That's because Grandma promised us that she would tell us more stories about Grandpa, Mommy! We wonder if Grandpa is more like me or Shane!" "Of cou

“What is 'proposing,' Mommy? Why do you keep saying that word?” Impatiently, Shane continued to pull the side of Jessica's shirt while asking the question. It was indeed the little boy who responded to Jessica even though the question was directed at Noah. But, that didn't upset the woman, and instead, she looked satisfied as she smiled at the boy before answering, “You'll have to ask your favorite Daddy about that word, Shane. He would know more than me about that word.” Jessica did direct her answer to her son, but her eyes glanced at Noah when she said her last sentence. Noah looked cornered, he even tried to look away from the mother and son pair. The artificial light around the area reflected on the man's forehead after he took off the cat head, and it looked glistening with sweat, either because of his cat costume or because of his nervousness. Jessica didn't know the reason, but that didn't stop her from staring intently at the man while waiting for his answer. "Proposin

“So, where is your Daddy now? Did he run away after giving my son a stup—a funny task?” Gritting her teeth to suppress her annoyance, Jessica questioned her son, almost failing to restrain herself from uttering the word "stupid." However, it was not her son who responded. Instead, it was her daughter who suddenly tugged on her sleeve, causing her to turn towards the little girl. “Daddy didn't run away, Mom,” the little girl said, and Jessica thought she would continue to say something. That's why Jessica remained silent waiting for her daughter to explain what she had just said, but the little girl didn't say anything and just moved her little hands towards the pink backpack hanging on her back. Jessica didn't know what the girl was doing, but she could see how the girl unzipped her backpack before taking something out of it. To Jessica's surprise, the thing the girl had just taken out of her backpack was a camera. To be pr

In the end, Jessica decided to give Noah a second chance. Yes, a second chance to be closer to her children.The reason behind her decision was that her children really liked Noah since the first time they met at the mall ice cream shop when she accompanied Tammy to buy a birthday present for her husband. It could be said that the ice cream succeeded in buying the kids' love, and they really liked spending time with the person who bought them the ice cream.Actually, that was not a bad thing, but Jessica was quite annoyed by the stubbornness of her children who kept calling Noah "daddy." It was clearly Noah's fault for casually confirming that he was indeed the twins' father, and Jessica continued to curse the man in her heart from that day on.She didn't even realize that a week had passed since her mother left the hospital and started living again in Noah's old apartment. Due to her mother's pleading, she ended up staying in that apartment as well rather

“That… that's too cheesy! Aren't we going to buy food for my mother and children? We better leave now or they will eat us alive if they get too hungry," Jessica tried to change the topic of their conversation when she started to feel nervous because of what Noah had just said to her. She even averted her gaze to look at anything as long as it wasn't Noah's face, and that was why she didn't notice the hopeful expression on the man's face. "You just said that what I said was too cheesy, but you didn't say that you didn't believe what I said," Noah replied, ignoring the fact that Jessica was trying to change the topic of their conversation. Finally, Jessica could no longer avoid the man's face, and she once again looked at him with her pair of blue eyes. At this moment, she could finally see a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. "To be honest, Tammy has told me everything related to you," Jessica finally said the truth.

“Why didn't you remarry after we divorced five years ago?” Jessica's voice was finally heard in the car. "Is it because you still can't get over Tyler?"Suddenly, Noah sneered before replying, “Do you think I love that man so much that I can't replace him with someone else? I don't know if this information is useful for you or not, but the truth is that I didn't really love him when we were together.""You didn't really love him but you still wanted to be with him even though it meant betraying our marriage," Jessica answered sarcastically, and Noah looked stunned by her answer.For a moment, Noah could only stare at the blonde without being able to utter a word with his mouth, but then he took a deep breath before saying, “I believe love and guilt are two different things, and I differentiated them clearly when I was still with him. I betrayed our marriage because of my feelings of guilt, not because of my love for him.”Jessica was the one who d

Jessica didn't know what to say after hearing Noah just say what was on his mind and heart, but for some reason, she felt familiar with the situation. The familiar feeling she felt in her heart made her anxious, her hands even moved to grip her jeans tightly as if asking for support from the blue fabric.“You probably think that my situation is similar to your children's situation, right?”Jessica felt her heart stop beating for a moment after hearing what Noah had just asked. It was actually impossible for her heart to stop beating while she was still alive, but she was truly surprised by the question. She finally understood why she felt anxious about Noah's story. That was because the story reminded her of her children.“I am the illegitimate child of that billionaire, and your children are the same even if their father is not a billionaire. They are very young now, but their lives are probably as full of drama as mine. Their lives will be full of lies a
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 233. Noah's Dramatic Life
After everything that happened to her five years ago, Jessica really didn't like surprises. Back then, many unexpected things happened to her, and none of them were pleasant surprises. That was why she felt traumatized by unexpected things, but today, she kept getting unexpected things since she came to the hospital to see her mother.First, a surprise came in the form of Noah, and second, it was in the form of the fact that her mother ended up living in Noah's old apartment. As if that wasn't enough, Noah then told her that he wanted to discuss a matter with her alone, and in the end, Jessica could only follow the man's lead.They were once again in Noah's car, and Jessica had fastened her seat belt. She prepared to look for something for her mother and her children's lunch, but she was puzzled because Noah did not start the car immediately.“Did you forget your wallet?” Confused, Jessica asked the man while looking at him.Her thinking was indee

In fact, Jessica had no plans at all to get into her ex-husband's car. Even her ex-husband's appearance at the hospital was not her plan at all, but in the end, she could only surrender and agree to get into the vehicle.Her mother first sat in the second row of seats with the twins, and she had no choice but to take the passenger seat next to the driver's seat. On the way to her mother's house, Noah, her mother, and the twins continued to chat happily about everything, but Jessica remained silent. None of those people seemed to notice her, and that was why she was lost in thought during the journey.She was actually drowned by the fact that she was passing through a route that she used to travel in the past. She didn't know her mother's new address, but she was sure that every street the car took was familiar to her eyes. It brought a feeling of nostalgia that both warmed and chilled her heart.At first, she ignored the familiarity she felt, assuming that
