Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 231
Things had been really nerve-racking for the past few days. The product that Holt Jewelry was about to launch was a plagiarized design. The company's employees had spent a lot of time and effort making the jewelry piece. They even released the news about it as early as last month. The entire industry had been looking forward to the visual masterpiece that Holt Jewelry would release. Fashionistas were lining up to be the first to snap up the jewelry.Now that something like this had happened, the company should announce that the press conference had been canceled, as well as the celebration dinner. But if they did that, Holt Jewelry wouldn't have any more credibility in the jewelry-making industry.With the little time they had left, they could only use a product that hadn't been completed to replace it. The best work they could use was the bracelet Jessamine had designed, the one she had won the design competition with.Even if Jessamine was giving him the silent treatment, Thad

Ariel understood her task. Since Thaddeus couldn't lay down his pride to call Jessamine back, she would do it in his stead."Don't worry, Mr. Holt. I'll call Mrs–I mean, Jessamine right away and ask her why she has been absent from work."Meanwhile, Jessamine was gardening in the yard in Quellville. The household staff had been taking good care of the yard. The vegetables and fruits were fresh, and even the flowers bloomed.When her phone rang, she thought Thaddeus was calling her again and wanted to ignore it. However, she was surprised to learn that Ariel was calling. Jessamine wiped her hands and answered the phone, "Jessamine, you haven't been to work for three days without asking for leave. Please come to the company within a da—"Ariel noticed Thaddeus giving her a sharp look and backtracked. "Please come to the company within an hour to give an explanation."Jessamine held a freshly picked tomato in her hand, her mind filled with confusion. "Ms. Zeller, I've resigned."A

Jessamine took the vegetables she had picked from the yard to the kitchen. Then, she went back inside to pack her things. She kept wondering if she really needed to go through this much trouble just to resign.After packing her things, she went to say goodbye to Thomas. When she arrived downstairs, she noticed someone talking to Thomas in the living room. He was slender and sounded gentle and elegant. The visitor was none other than Noah."Noah, good to see you!" Jessamine greeted him politely. Then, she said to Thomas, "Grandpa, I need to head back to Zenville, so I won't be here with you for a while. I'll come back after I'm done with work."Thomas narrowed his eyes, thinking that Thaddeus had listened to his advice. So, there was still hope for that brat. He was glad that his efforts weren't in vain. "Go ahead. I have Joe with me. Young people like you should be enjoying your lives. You don't need to watch over an old man like me.""Grandpa, are you annoyed with me?" Jessa

Jessamine scoffed internally and asked again, "Since the HR department has to be the ones to approve someone's resignation, do approvals by the other leaders not count?""No. Any leader in a higher position than the HR manager can also approve someone's resignation," Noah replied."Can Thaddeus handle an employee's resignation?"Noah smiled. "He even decides whether the HR manager can stay in the company. Do you think he has enough authority to approve an ordinary employee's resignation?"Jessamine was furious. That bastard actually used the HR manager to trick her into going back. She wouldn't give him what he wanted.Soon, the staff prepared a table of dishes. Since Noah was there, they made some seafood dishes for him.At the dining table, Thomas instructed the kitchen staff as he ate. "Bring them the snacks you made yesterday. They can eat them on the way home if they're hungry. Also, fill up a bottle full of hot water and prepare some fruits."Jessamine swallowed her food

At 10:00 pm, Thaddeus drove to his family's villa in Quellville.At this time, Jessamine had finished taking her shower and was lying on the bed, about to sleep. When she heard noises outside, a bad feeling overcame her. She got out of bed, and sure enough, she saw that bastard Thaddeus getting out of his car. The streetlights formed a long shadow under his feet, making him look even taller.Jessamine never expected him to come over so late at night. She was just an insignificant assistant he had assigned to the design department. He didn't need to go so far for her.At the end of the day, she was the one who hadn't kept her word. On the phone, she had promised Ariel that she would go back, but she ended up breaking her promise. Jessamine laid back on the bed, feeling restless. She couldn't come up with a good excuse, so she pretended to be asleep.Thaddeus went upstairs to Jessamine's room. He saw her lying flat in the middle of the big bed with the blanket covering her neck.

Jessamine pulled her hand out of the blanket and felt slightly irritated. "As if I want to touch you. I told you. I just wanted to see if you're wearing any underwear."Thaddeus chuckled and teased, "Are you sure about that? If you want to know if I'm wearing underwear, you can just feel the fabric on my thighs. You didn't have to touch me there."He couldn't believe she refused to admit that she felt him up even after doing so. She was such a hypocrite.Jessamine was dumbfounded. "I can't help it if that's what you think."Thaddeus turned over and pinned her underneath him. "Why are you acting so moody? Am I wrong?"Jessamine turned her head aside and played along. "Fine, you were right. Is that what you want to hear?"Thaddeus was dismayed. Jessamine was done playing his games. Usually, men were the ones who yielded to their partners. However, she did it to him instead."Come home with me tomorrow." He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. He felt depressed, but he co

Thaddeus felt a sense of clarity when Jessamine pushed him away. "Come home with me tomorrow," he said again.Jessamine obeyed him like a cat that had been appeased. "Okay," she said softly.Then, Thaddeus kissed her again."Ted. Ted…"Thaddeus bit her lip, punishing her for her oversight. He clearly told her many times to call him "Hubby," but she still couldn't remember it. "Call me Hubby, Jessie!""Stop! We don't have any condoms." Jessamine thought of the perfect excuse. After all, there were very few convenience stores near the villa, so it would be hard to buy some condoms.Sure enough, Thaddeus turned over and laid back in his previous spot, breathing heavily.Jessamine successfully stopped him, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed. He still didn't want a baby. He even stopped halfway through the act because they didn't have protection, even though it pained him to do so."Thaddeus, Amy—"Thaddeus became upset at the mention of Amy and sat up on the bed. "I'm tak

Jessamine understood why Thaddeus still wanted to help Amy. After all, she was his muse. A perfectionist like him wouldn't let his muse's life be ruined like this.In that case, Thaddeus needed to discover more of Amy's evil deeds. Jessamine needed to ruin his misguided trust in her before he was willing to believe that Amy was a vile person.After their conversation ended, an awkward silence filled the room. Thaddeus and Jessamine cuddled against the headboard, lost in their own thoughts.…The next morning, Thaddeus woke up and went for a walk with Thomas. Meanwhile, Jessamine was fast asleep and was woken up by a phone call."Excuse me, I'm sorry for calling you again. Can you please sell your house or kick out that woman? It's bad enough that she brings men home in the middle of the night. "But now, people have been throwing paint and garbage at her door, nearly breaking it. The corridor now stinks like hell. Please tell her to show us some mercy."The neighbor in Islington
