★★★ Jessica changed into her yellow dress, which she had washed the night before and was now ready to wear. She took her phone and walked out of the guestroom. As she stepped down the stairs, she opened her call log to make a call to her home. “What are you doing here, Jess?” Jessica raised her head from her phone to the hallway, where Stefen could be seen, standing with his hands in his pockets. Jessica's heart sank as she noted Stefen had seen her at Liam's house and that he would undoubtedly inform her father of the incident. Lawrence family members were not going to treat this lightly, and there was an increasing likelihood that she would be kicked out of Lawrence Manor at this point. “I came here to see Liam about a work," Jessica descended the stairs and met Stefen’s stoic face. Jessica was able to deduce his source of rage. His sister had been betrayed by her and Liam, which no brother would take it with cool heart. “In his house??!! Have you just exited his bedroom?” Ste
★★★ “Stefen, reduce the speed of the vehicle," Jessica screamed while firmly grasping Stefen's shirt with one hand and the seat belt with the other. Stefan had pushed the vehicle's speed past the limit. The fear of being involved in an accident overflowed onto her head, and she was unable to see anything in front of her eyes. “Stefen, are you not going to pay attention? Stefen, what is the point of all this craziness? Please try to understand that I have a son,” Jessica looked at the road, where she could hardly see any cars, and pleaded sincerely. She was helpless to do anything as it all blurred before her eyes. When Jessica turned to face Stefen, she noticed that his clenched jaw and protruding veins on the side of his neck were signs of anger. Jessica had no idea until now that Stefen intended to harm her in order to preserve Rilika's love. The car finally came to a halt, giving both passengers a violent jerk, but no impact occurred because they were wearing seatbelts. Jessica
★★★“And you did not find the time to let me know about this matter. Are you really crazy, or what?” Liam yelled at David at the breakfast table after hearing that Cornell had been chased by a killer. “Boss, I was anxious learning that you had been attacked in Lanai, it had gotten me so badly that I completely forgot about Cornell. I then decided to discuss it with you once you arrived here,"David gave an explanation of why it took him so long to inform him about Cornell. He really wanted to tell the boss, but after learning that the boss had been attacked, his stress about the boss got so bad that he forgot all about it. When David went to finally pick him up, he discovered Liam to be unconscious.Liam put his fork and knife down in apprehension, not having any reason to the kid to be attacked of until someone close hovering intention to harm against him.“Does Jessica know?” Liam questioned, deepening the frown on his forehead.David responded, "I am skeptical about that. If
★★★ “Stefen, I have had enough of your safeguards. You even start breaking our father's word. Arthur is here because our father gave him permission to seek a reconciliation with Jessica. After his uncle passed away, Arthur takes over ownership of the Ros industry. Jessica will always be content with her son by his side. Also, keep in mind that they were once your lover.” Stefen and Rilika had a conversation in the car about the situation. Rilika believed she could help Stefen comprehend Arthur's presence. However, Stefen's opening of his mouth made her mad. "The lover, huh! To whom you slept with in college. This is your strategies to get Arthur to go after Jessica again. Dad was thinking about the wealth that escaped his grasp, but after meeting Arthur, he starts dreaming all over again." “Stefen,” Rilika bellowed, gritting her teeth at Stefen. “Do I hurt your purity? You detest listening to it simply because you yearn to be Liam Grey's wife. Stop making Jessica's life difficult,
★★★ Cornell and Jessica made the decision to visit the mall, and Ben would soon join them as well. "Jess, I am a little nervous about you going out with Cornell by yourself," Monica voiced her worry as she sat on the couch and watched Jessica seized the car keys from the table next to the couch. “I have to go, but Cornell can stay. I have advised him numerous times that there is absolutely nothing that can attract him, but he refuses to listen to his mother's words,” Jessica sighed and gazed at her son who was waiting at the door because he suspected his mother was looking for ways to avoid having to take him with her. “No, If you refrain from taking me with you, I will not open the door to the room for the rest of the night." Cornell resolutely asserted himself as he was disappointed by her mother's refusal to take him. He did not want to go because he wanted to have fun; instead, he did it out of concern that those people might hurt his mother. Monica noticed Cornell and though
★★★“Liam, how about you give me some suggestions regarding the birthday gift for my dad?” said Rilika as she continued to follow his line of sight as it remained fixed on Jessica and her son until they did not leave their field of vision.She made no attempt to find out how far Liam and Jessica's relationship had progressed, but she felt the thriving nervousness in her heart. After seeing Stefen's monster face, she could no longer feel comfortable interacting with him, which made her predicament more complicated.On the other hand, Arthur followed Jessica and Cornell despite being warned by Liam's accusatory glances, which he disregarded because he did not believe Liam had any business with Jessica.“I no longer interested looking at people's faces. You may freely browse any store you choose. If you come across anything you like, take it home without worrying about the cost," Liam said it to her curtly. Rilika abruptly became confused as to what had enraged Liam. She put a great
★★★ "Arthur, would you please back away from me? I am aware of what you are trying to accomplish, regardless of whose advice you are taking, but nothing would work. We're too old for this, please,” Jessica spat after holding her immense anger in her throat. Up until this point, she had always been courteous towards Arthur, who was constantly invading her personal space and made her feel constricted. “What? No one has said me to do anything, it is completely my choice. Since I last saw you, Jess, I have been thinking about reaching out to you to ask for your forgiveness for what I have done in the past. Time has taught me a valuable lesson, and I think that seeing you again has a purpose as well. My persistent nagging is an attempt to put things right. One opportunity to demonstrate my loyalty,” Arthur begged Jessica as his hand reached for her shoulder, which Jessica quickly avoided by retreating her feet. Her expression was void; no annoyance, no sympathy. She sighed deeply and sai
★★★“Which one has your attention, son?"Jessica commented as she combed Cornell's unruly hair from his forehead to his behind. She was genuinely debating why Cornell was taking such careful consideration to select a Piano.“I will let you know, mom, which one makes me feel good,” Jessica raised an eyebrow at Cornell's comment because she had not anticipated hearing such serious words."Alright!" She said and looked around, suddenly her phone rang in her bag. Jessica hastily shoved her hand inside and pulled her phone out of her bag."Ben!”She muttered, before turning her head to face Cornell, and said, "You keep watching whatever you want to watch while I talk to Ben; perhaps he has arrived to pick us up."After taking a brief break from studying the instrument, Cornell sweetly asked his mother, "Mom, after Ben comes, can we go to the Mac for burgers?"“Perhaps, we can,” Jessica answered vaguely and walked away from Cornell to talk to Ben on the phone.“Ben, I do not think
