Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 236
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

Jessamine trembled in fear. She had been with the Holt family for three years but had never seen Thomas so angry. The last time was when Thaddeus and Amy angered him to the point where he had to be hospitalized.Jessamine quickly sat next to Thomas and calmed him down. "Calm down, Grandpa. Let's take things easy. Don't let your anger affect your health."Thomas was so angry that his lips were trembling. "Jessie, I'll make things right for you. Tell me everything this bastard did to you. There's no way he's calling the shots in our family."Thaddeus remained silent with a sullen expression on his face.Jessamine didn't know why Thomas was upset. "Grandpa, he didn't do anything."Thomas scoffed. "I can't believe you're still speaking up for him. He has already kept that sly woman in your marital home. How can you put up with it? "Then, Thomas scolded Thaddeus, "You bastard, do you even have a righteous bone in your body? You have a wife, but you used her marital home as a secret g

"After we get back to Zenville, we're going to sell that place and get rid of everything Amy used. We don't want to keep the place she lived in. I'll look for a new home for Jessie and buy it under her name. No one else would let some scheming bitch stay there!"Thomas' words were directed at Thaddeus. Thaddeus said nothing, but Noah said, "Leave it to me, Dad. A friend of mine has a lot of properties available this year. I'll ask him to save the best one."Thomas looked at Noah in approval. And just like that, they had made a decision.…Meanwhile, Amy had no idea she would be evicted from the apartment soon. Right now, she had to face the netizens' ire and harassment.Thaddeus had told her to prepare more daily necessities and stay home for the time being. At first, she didn't take it seriously. But after a day, she knew things weren't as simple as she thought.She didn't dare to turn on her phone. Every day, she received tons of hate messages and even death threats from unkn

Thomas had given Thaddeus a big scolding. In front of everyone, he ordered Joe to sell Thaddeus' unit in Islington Apartments and get rid of anything Amy touched.Meanwhile, Noah had already asked his friend for the floor plans of his properties.Thomas began to relax when he looked at the floor plans Noah gave him.Thaddeus' head was still bleeding. It was a miracle that Thomas didn't let him endure an even worse punishment.When Jessamine noticed Thomas' anger had subsided slightly, she pulled Thaddeus to their room and brought him the first aid kit.Thaddeus couldn't help but hiss when Jessamine dabbed his wound with a ball of cotton wool. Only then did he feel the pain from his wound.He questioned, "It's not like you don't know Grandpa. Why did you hand him a glass of water? If you had given him a knife, you would've been a widow by now."Jessamine simply ignored him and continued to clean his wound. Then, she disinfected it and applied medicine to it. "The weather is hot

"Grandpa…" Thaddeus sighed, a frustrated expression on his face. Thomas was informing him of his decision, not giving him any room for discussion. He didn't want to hear what Thaddeus had to say, so he just hung up on him.He was still furious. He had remembered Thaddeus' transgressions and would pay close attention to him.Silence filled the car once more. As Jordan drove, he overtook the one in front of him. Thaddeus rubbed the bridge of his nose and complained, "What on earth are you doing? Why are you speeding up and slowing down all of a sudden? Is your driver's license just for show?"Jordan quickly straightened himself and said, "Mr. Holt, that car was driving too slowly.""Just keep the car steady."A layer of sweat formed on Jordan's forehead. He felt aggrieved at Thaddeus' words. He had been really careful when driving.Jessamine leaned against the car window, complaining in her thoughts. Jordan was driving well enough. What else did Thaddeus want from him?"Let

"Is that not the case?" Jessamine questioned. She still remembered the time when Thaddeus had been so rough with her in bed that she couldn't get out of bed the next day. Since he was working overtime that day, he asked someone to deliver the latest Hermes bag to her. The card even wrote, "Good work. Here's your reimbursement."Thaddeus was clearly rewarding her for sleeping with him. An ordinary couple would never keep track of things like this. There was no need to give rewards or reimbursements.Thaddeus found Jessamine a little unreasonable to think he shouldn't buy her anything. He had spent money on those gifts, but she was still complaining. She was so ungrateful."Throw them away if you don't want them!"His bold words shocked Jessamine. The bags in their closet were already worth eight figures in total, and that didn't include the bags in the storage room. Yet, he wanted her to throw them away.Jessamine felt a feeling of hatred toward the rich. She only earned 200 thou

Thaddeus was dumbfounded. Why hadn't he considered using blood types to eliminate the possibility first?"My dad has type O blood."Jessamine's stroked his Adam's apple softly and deliberately. "My mom has type B blood, and I have type AB blood. Do you think it's possible that we could be long-lost siblings?"Thaddeus thought for some time and couldn't help but burst out in hearty laughter. It was impossible for someone with type B blood and someone with type O blood to have a child with AB type blood. What was he worrying about?At that moment, he couldn't believe how foolish he'd been. Biology was his best subject in school, yet he didn't think about this until Jessamine reminded him. His biology teacher would be furious if they knew."Why didn't you say so earlier, Jessie?" He regretted not talking to her about it sooner and ended up suffering in prolonged silence by himself.After Jessamine got bored touching his Adam's apple, she started playing with his rough chin. "I just

Jessamine lay still for a long time, aware that Thaddeus was also awake, battling insomnia just like her.This visit to Zenville to solve one mystery ended up bringing her an even bigger one.The gathering took place years ago in the restaurant owned by Benji's family. She had even asked Benji about it. The surveillance footage from over 20 years ago wouldn't be around now, and even the staff had changed several times. The restaurant's manager from back then had left the job many years ago.It wasn't easy to uncover the truth from back then unless they found the people who were directly involved. The closer they got to the truth, the more pressure she felt.By investigating this matter now, she was essentially peeling back the layers that had been hiding a much deeper issue. As she confronted the dark side of human nature, the ultimate victim ended up being her beloved mother.If Jessamine didn't look into this matter, she felt like she would be letting Elizabeth down. She wanted

Thaddeus frowned immensely at his request. "Don't be ridiculous!""I'm serious. You could help me rent one too. You know, the kind that charges by the day. I'll fool my dad first. We'll deal with everything else once he gets better," Benji said.Thaddeus cursed inwardly, "Dude, don't drag me into this, especially with my wife watching. It sounds like you're implying I have ways to get or rent women."Thaddeus glanced back at Jessamine and said, "I don't know about this. You should ask someone else. If you're at your wits end, go ask one of the assistants in your company to help you out."Benji seemed to come to a realization. He said, "It's getting late. You all should go back and rest. There are doctors here. I'll stay and keep watch."Jessamine asked, "Can you handle this on your own, Mr. Moore?""Sure, thank you… all of you," Benji replied.After saying a few more words of comfort, Jessamine and Thaddeus went downstairs to the car. Thaddeus' phone started ringing again."Mr.

Maya also knelt by the bed and started crying."Dad, don't speak for now. Please be okay."Benji zoned out. Seeing Carmen and Maya crying, his mind was in a mess. He realized that he couldn't continue to live aimlessly—his family needed him now."A girlfriend, a girlfriend..." he mumbled, not even sure of what he was saying.The doctor hurried to the room upon hearing the call, checked on Jonathan again, and then sent the family away."The patient needs rest and should avoid additional emotional stress. You all can wait outside for now. There's no need for everyone to be here, one would be enough. The room can be stuffy if there's too many people here, too."They then left the room. Benji was holding the X-ray images of Jonathan's brain, but he couldn't make any sense of it. He felt completely lost.Shane quietly slipped away from the crowd after watching from afar. He went to an empty hallway and called his father. "Dad, are you free to analyze some X-ray images? It's for a fri

Benji had always lived a smooth and pleasant life. It hit him hard after hearing what the doctor said, leaving him in a state of shock and bewilderment."Mom, hasn't Dad always been in good health? How did he suddenly..."Carmen's eyes were red and swollen from crying."He mentioned feeling dizzy a few times recently and said he'd go for a check-up but actually never did. Plus, he's been swamped with work lately and hasn't got any time. Today, he suddenly fainted at the office. His assistant called an ambulance right away and brought him to the hospital. By the time I got the call, he was already being examined inside."Benji's face turned pale. With Jonathan down, the burden of supporting his family fell on him. He had been free from responsibility for the past 20 years, and now, suddenly having to shoulder this heavy load, he felt completely lost.His father had been asking him to get familiar with the company's operations a long time ago. However, he was too lazy to bother abou

Benji never had any grand ambitions. From the day he was born, people always told him that he didn't need to worry about anything since most problems in this world could be solved with money, and his family had plenty of it. He just wanted to drift through life."I don't need to surpass him. As long as I can cover my daily expenses and not have to ask him for money, that's enough," Benji replied.As they were talking, Shane had prepared a table full of dishes. He set out four sets of plates and cutleries before calling everyone over to eat. "It's time to eat."The four of them hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they had to have a drink.Jessamine looked at the beautifully prepared dishes on the table and couldn't help but offer a compliment. "Shane, your cooking skills have gotten so good."Shane opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for everyone. "What can I do? There's a glutton at home."Benji was not happy with Shane's comment. What did he mean by saying there wa

"It's great that you came by today, Jessie. I'll pay you back the money. Friends who are willing to lend money these days are rare, so I want to thank you again," Benji said.He hadn't repaid the money he borrowed last time yet. Coincidentally, he received some money today, so he decided to settle the debt in person. With that, he picked up his phone to make the transfer.Jessamine's phone chimed, indicating that a payment had been received. The amount was a bit more than what she had lent out."Mr. Moore, I'm not here to ask you to settle your debt. You can keep it for now. I won't need the money for the time being," Jessamine said."If one borrows and returns promptly, borrowing again won't be difficult. You're much easier to talk to than Thaddeus. Despite knowing him for so many years, borrowing money from him is such a hassle. You saw it last time yourself. That scoundrel's attitude was terrible!" Benji complained.At this point in the conversation, Thaddeus happened to arrive

Thaddeus tightened his grip on Jessamine's slender waist. "What am I going to do with you, Jessie?"He thought to himself that if things really were just that coincidental, he would rather play the fool and pretend to know nothing at all. He just couldn't leave her.Jessamine asked softly, "How about you ask your dad?"Thaddeus paused for a moment and took out his phone to call Corey. He couldn't calm his mind at all.After a few seconds of hearing the dial tone, the call was answered."Dad," Thaddeus said.On the other end of the phone, Corey was about to go to sleep. He had been adjusting his routine lately, aiming to go to bed early and wake up early."What’s up?" Corey asked."Do you remember the gathering over 20 years ago with Mr. Hardy, Jacob Langston, Leon Lincoln, Paxton Loomis, and a few others?"After that, Thaddeus added, "That night, a beautiful woman came over. She drank some alcohol and was drugged."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the ph

On the other side, Jessamine and Thaddeus got into the car.Jessamine and Beatrice were quite familiar with each other. However, it was Jessamine's first time meeting Sabastian. Surprisingly, she had a pretty good impression of him."Do the Hardy and Holt families have business dealings with each other?"Thaddeus drove as he answered her question, "We don't have much interaction. We would occasionally invest in small projects and conduct some charity work in Zenville together."Mr. Hardy is an upright and trustworthy person. He has a good relationship with Grandpa. Hayden would often come to my house with him when I was young."Jessamine paused for a moment and asked, "Does he have a wife?""Hayden's mother passed away from an amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. Since then, Mr. Hardy has remained single and never remarried."Jessamine was deeply moved. In this era, who would remain loyal for a lifetime to their deceased wives? Most men like Sabastian, who had both power a
