Jessica thought she would only meet Noah again during the presentation in front of the Button Boss people, but it turned out that was not the occasion when she met the man again after the last time she saw him in Rockaway.

Just a week after they returned from Rockaway, Jessica received a call from her father, inviting her home for dinner. Dinner sounded simple, but it was actually not simple because her father asked her to come with her husband.

In the past, such a request was not a big problem for her, but this time she felt reluctant because she had to see her husband again. They also needed to pretend as if they came from the same place, and that was why they were in the car together before the car stopped in front of the two-story house.

In contrast to Jessica, who didn't like cooking at all, her mother really liked cooking, and that explained how her dining table was full of various kinds of food. With warm smiles on their faces, the older couple invited the younger couple to e

    Her mother advised her and Noah to see a doctor, but Jessica didn't go at all. 'What kind of mother would think her daughter was infertile?' That was what she thought a week ago when she just heard her mother's advice. However, she did not reject the idea outright, and she only said that she would go when she had time. Until now, she still hadn't seen a doctor, but she refused to admit that she lied to her mother. 'I've been busy lately, so I didn't lie to her,' she thought to herself, and even though it sounded like she was making excuses, it was a fact that she had been busy in the past week. In the past week, people at the company had been busy preparing teasers for Button Boss's latest collection. There was a promotional video and a bunch of photos the company released today. Button Boss also reposted everything posted on the magazine's social media today, and everyone in the company was waiting for the public's reaction. “The promotional video editing wasn't bad at all. For a

    "What?" Jessica coldly asked this question after she swiped the green icon on her cellphone screen to answer her husband's call. She still had her husband's number on her phone, but she changed the name of the number. In the past three years, she used the name “Sweetheart” for his phone number, but after the incident a few weeks ago, that name changed to “Shithead.” She was the only one using the phone, so she didn't feel worried if someone read the name on the phone. "And even if someone else saw the name, I would just say that it was a fraudster who kept bothering me with random calls," she said to herself when she just changed the name. Perhaps the only person who knew about the name change was Tammy, and the bespectacled girl didn't look surprised when she saw her friend answer the call. Instead, she purposely shifted closer to the older woman so she could listen to the two people's conversation. “You and your team did a great job, Jess,” praise came from Noah. “When you and y

    Jessica felt more than disgust, more than hatred in her heart, and those feelings were directed at Noah alone. She often disliked other people in her life, but this was the first time she hated someone so much that she even wanted to kill that person. But Jessica didn't want to be a villain, and Noah wasn't even in front of her when he said those annoying sentences directed at her, and that was why she couldn't just end his life like that. Unfortunately, the man didn't seem to feel guilty about his words which truly hurt Jessica's feelings, and he even asked, "Are you sure you don't want to have a child with me? Then, what about your father? If your father finds out the truth about us, what will happen to him?” That was what the man said, but Jessica was so furious that she didn't want to answer the question at all. In the end, she angrily ended the phone call before using her hands to grab her hair, and it looked like she was going to pull out all the strands of blonde hair on her

    “Are you sure this is the right place, Tam?” As soon as they were seated at one of the tables in the restaurant, Jessica whispered the question directly into Tammy's ear. There were several round tables there, and they were located outdoors. Their surroundings were like a flower garden, there were even flowers on the tables and chairs. It seemed that flowers and white were the theme of the restaurant, and they successfully conveyed the elegance of the place. Jessica could also see silver cutlery on the table, and that added to her disbelief that it was indeed the right place for their dinner tonight. "It's the right place," Tammy confidently answered the blonde woman's question. “This restaurant is called La Fleur, and it's a French restaurant. It just opened two weeks ago, so it's relatively new. Actually, we need to make a reservation if we want to eat here, but because this place is still new and still not very well-known, I managed to book three tables today. I'm amazing, aren'

    Jessica was even taken aback by Lisa's loud scream, and she looked shocked as her wide eyes continued to stare at the younger woman. The younger woman suddenly spoke about pregnancy, and she couldn't help but glance at Tammy who was sitting next to her. Easily, she could guess that Tammy was the culprit behind the noise in the restaurant, and everyone was even paying attention to her at the moment because of her assistant's craziness. "Is it true? Is it true that your wife is pregnant now, Noah?" One of Noah's colleagues even asked this question in a curious tone, and Jessica really wanted to sew Tammy's lips so that the short-haired woman would stop saying nonsense. Unfortunately, Tammy couldn't take back the words she just said, and everyone was waiting for confirmation. Their eyes fell on Jessica and Noah, but it was Noah who finally answered, “To be honest, we still don't know if my wife is pregnant at the moment, but we have been working hard to have a child recently. If there

  • Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend    46. She Looks Pitiful

    It was obvious that Jessica had no intention of obeying her husband. Instead, she intentionally disobeyed the man and probably intended to make him even angrier. It wasn't that she didn't care about her body, but she really needed something to vent her complicated emotions tonight, and that was why she sipped glass after glass of wine until she was completely drunk. When everyone else finished their food, she also finished her wine, and her pale skin immediately turned red from the alcoholic drink. She remained sitting in her chair, and she didn't say anything either. However, it seemed difficult for her to sit upright in the chair because her body kept swaying left and right. Even her coworkers sitting at the same table as she gave her worried looks, and it was Lisa who expressed what was on her mind, “She looks so pitiful. I wonder what kind of fight she had with her husband to make her torture herself like this.” This time, Lisa didn't lower her volume, and that's why her other

    "Who are you?" Jessica muttered carelessly as her husband dragged her body away from the restaurant and towards the restaurant parking area. Tyler followed behind them, but he didn't say anything and just acted like an obedient puppy following its master. "I'm asking you, dude! Can't you hear meeeeee?” Once again, Jessica muttered the question while the previous question was still unanswered, and her last question even sounded impatient as she dragged out the last words she said. Her eyes were open, but she didn't seem to recognize her husband because of the influence of alcohol. Noah could hear everything the blonde woman said, but he didn't seem to have any intention of answering. His right hand was on Jessica's waist, while his left hand held Jessica's left arm to stabilize her body as he dragged her. He didn't look happy at all, and there were many reasons for his unhappiness. “You don't want to answer me, huh?” Once again, Jessica questioned the tall man. She frowned unhappil

    “Seriously! I didn't expect to be robbed tonight!” Suddenly Noah started to complain as he continued to drive his car on the smooth asphalt. "I had good intentions to make everyone happy, but those people actually robbed me! Do you know how much I have to pay for our dinner tonight, Tyle? Tonight's dinner took away two months of my salary, and it's not even enough! I even need to use this month's bonus to pay for dinner!" Noah was the only person who kept complaining in the car. Jessica was sleeping soundly in the front passenger seat, while Tyler was silently listening to his every word from the back seat. "I'm sure everything was planned by this woman," Noah spoke again, and this time, he even annoyedly glanced at the sleeping Jessica. “She's upset with me because of what I said to her today, and she's probably jealous of you, too. That's why she deliberately planned everything to empty my wallet!” It was evident that Noah was angry, he even gripped the steering wheel tighter as

    “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

  • Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend    237. Are You Going to Propose?

    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
