Even if it was a 4-star hotel, it only had four floors in total because of its location far from the city. Jessica happened to get a room on the fourth floor, but she was not the only person who pulled a suitcase into the room after receiving the room card. Following behind her was a familiar person who was none other than Noah Brooks, but the two of them didn't say anything even when they were already in the room. There was only a king bed in the room, and it was obvious that two people who would be staying in that room would have to share a bed. Not only that, they also needed to share a blanket, but that actually shouldn't be a problem because they were a married couple. However, even though the title “husband and wife” still stuck to them, they looked like a pair of strangers when they entered the room, and it was questionable how they would share a bed later at night. Noah was the one who closed the bedroom door, and he let go of his suitcase before walking towards Jessica who
“What do you think I should tell him?” Instead of answering, Noah asked that question. Jessica did not immediately answer the question. Actually, she intended to test her husband by asking the question. From the start, she found it strange when her husband insisted on having a child with her even though he already had a boyfriend whom he loved with all his heart, and she wondered how her husband's boyfriend would react if he found out about the plan. She thought Noah had thought about it, but it seemed like the man was still thinking about what he should say to his boyfriend. "That's none of my business," Jessica finally responded to the brown-haired man. “Whether you tell your boyfriend the truth or not is none of my business, so I won't say anything about it.” Jessica chose to act as if she didn't care about the matter, and she once again looked away from the man. Standing beside her, Noah nodded his head after hearing what she had just said. “If you let me decide, then I will
Earlier, Tammy sounded like a caring friend when she could guess that Jessica needed a shoulder to cry on, but then Jessica changed her opinion about it after hearing what the younger woman had just said. She once again let out a loud snort before bringing her legs closer to the bed, and she sat on the edge of the bed again. “Do you need to rub salt on my wounded heart?” She lazily asked the question. Tammy could only smile sheepishly at the blonde woman before following the woman to the bed, and she sat next to the woman. “I was surprised when you suddenly decided to share a room with him. You even moved out of his house, but now you share a room with him. It seems like your efforts to avoid him have been fruitless," she said. This time, Jessica didn't immediately scold her assistant even though her assistant sounded like she was mocking her. Instead, she furrowed her brows as if she were thinking carefully about what her assistant had just said to her. "I just realized that I ac
The people from Manhattan had just finished dinner at the hotel restaurant, but they didn't leave their table immediately. There were more than ten people, and that was why they occupied the two long tables used by them. One long table could accommodate eight people, and Jessica happened to be at the same table with her husband and her husband's boyfriend. Maybe it was because the two men arrived late at the restaurant when they were going to have dinner. The other tables were already full of people, which was why the two men could only bring the food to Jessica's table. It might have been a strange sight when the two men arrived late together at the restaurant. This afternoon, they saw how Noah went to his room with Jessica, but when it was time for dinner, the two people did not go to the restaurant together. In contrast to everyone's expectation, Noah was with Tyler when they arrived at the restaurant, and that caused people to furrow their eyebrows in curiosity. Jessica noticed
If Jessica no longer needed Noah's penis, she would definitely cut it off. It was because the man wouldn't stop annoying her with his arrogance, and it worsened her mood tonight. When they arrived at their room, she simply threw a piece of paper at the man, and the man caught it before reading the writing on the paper. "That's the contract you need to sign before we can start our business tonight," Jessica said, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Noah could hear what the woman had just said, but he didn't immediately answer as he focused on reading the writing on the paper in his hand: [In this agreement, Mrs. Jessica Brooks will be referred to as Party 1 while Mr. Noah Brooks will be referred to as Party 2. Agreement: 1. Party 2 is willing to help Party 1 to get pregnant; 2. Party 1 is willing to stay with Party 2 until Party 1 becomes pregnant and gives birth; 3. After Party 1 gives birth, Party 1 and Party 2 will divorce; 4. The child of Party 1 and Party 2 will live
The most loved person had become the most hated person. Usually, people would feel disappointed or maybe sad after their title was changed, but it seemed like Noah wasn't the same. Even after he heard Jessica's cold statement directed at him, his expression did not change amidst the darkness. Only a little light came through the window. The curtains were drawn, and the light only dared to slip through the gaps between the fabric. But the soft light still reflected on Noah's face as he hovered over his wife. Even though it was mostly his silhouette that entered Jessica's vision, she could somehow guess that the man did not change his expression after hearing her statement. In the dimness of the room, Jessica could somehow make out how the man was impatiently taking off his clothes. His white shirt was thrown to the floor, and he immediately bent his body before his lips caught hers. Jessica flinched a little as the man hungrily ate her lips, but she didn't move away at all. Instead,
It seemed like Noah wanted to punish the woman lying beneath his body. He showed no mercy as his hands quickly moved to tear Jessica's shirt and threw it on the floor. His large hands then began the punishment by grabbing the woman's breasts and squeezing them not gently at all. Beneath the man, Jessica only felt pain when the man did something like that to her. She wouldn't say that Noah was usually gentle when they had sex, but she wouldn't say that the man was rough in bed either. She dated several men before, and she also had sex with them before marrying Noah. With those experiences, she could conclude that some other men were rougher than Noah in bed. That was why she was quite surprised when Noah didn't seem to hold back and wanted to torture her tonight. Her body writhed helplessly under the man's large body, and she also tried to stop him by pushing against the man's broad shoulders. “Stop acting like an animal! I am a woman, and my body is not that strong to take this kin
They only did it one round because Jessica almost fainted after she and Noah came together a moment ago. She was still lying helplessly on the bed, and her chest was still moving up and down even after Noah took his thing out of her. Their session was over, but Jessica felt like she was still on cloud nine even after Noah stopped doing it. She weakly closed her eyes as if she was going to sleep, but in fact, she was still awake. Even though she didn't open her eyes, she could feel how Noah was rushing to put on his clothes again. It was her ears that managed to catch the movement, and she could hear how the man began to put on his clothes one by one. The room was still dark because none of them bothered to turn on the lights, and Jessica didn't say anything after they finished their activities. Maybe Noah thought she had fallen asleep because of her silence, and that was why the brown-haired man didn't bother to start a conversation with her. Until finally, Jessica could hear foot
“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
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
