Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 582
Since that incident, no woman dared to seek attention in front of Thaddeus again. It was inconceivable that such a celibate figure, who viewed women as specimens, would show a flattering attitude toward Jessamine.Samson felt that his cooperation with Colin many years ago was simply the best decision he had ever made in his life. Without that connection, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Jessamine, let alone have any involvement with these three big shots."Mr. Holt, what brings you here?" he asked pleasingly.Thaddeus lifted his gaze slightly and forced a smile. At least he greeted him.Samson, with a strong sense of flattery, immediately expressed that he had business to discuss with Jessamine."Mr. Holt, Ms. Patton and I have been cooperating for many years. This is the first time we've had the pleasure of meeting. I didn't expect you and Ms. Patton to be friends. It seems like we're all one family!"Thaddeus then glanced at him, giving him a high appraisal. "Cooper

Jessamine glanced at the two men concentrating on their game in front of her, still aiming for victory. She had just been thinking of finding an excuse to escape from Noah's sight. Now, Thaddeus' appearance inexplicably reassured her."Let's go. I'll accompany you to apply the medicine," she said.His stubbornness made him reluctant to say it, so she took the initiative to offer him an excuse. Plus, it just so happened that she wanted to leave.Thaddeus' eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up. "Jessie, let's go."Jordan was speechless. It turned out that Jessamine's words were the most effective. In this world, the only ones who could control Thaddeus were either an illness or his wife.Thaddeus and Jessamine walked side by side in front. Jordan followed behind, packing up the bag and putting back the items he had just taken out.Jessamine sent a message to Oscar. She told him that she had something to do and was leaving first and that they could have dinner together another da

Thaddeus' mood was not very pleasant at the moment. When Jessamine handed him the tissue, he didn't resist. He took it and wiped haphazardly where he had just scratched.Jessamine found the bottle of ointment prescribed by Dr. Fisher from the bag and handed it to him. "You should apply the medicine. If there are places you can't reach, let Jordan help later."Thaddeus felt bitter and wanted to ask if Jessamine really wasn't going to help him. However, he held back his words. He squeezed the bottle of ointment in his hand and after a while, asked, "Will you peek?"Jessamine burst into laughter at his question. It sounded like he was afraid of being seen by her. It was as if he didn't know who had asked Erik last night if he needed to remove his pants.She turned her face away. At the next intersection, the left turn would lead back to Thaddeus' house, while her own house was in the opposite direction."Don't worry. I promise not to look. If you're still worried, I can sit in the fr

Finally, Thomas came around. When he saw the fleeting figure, he grew suspicious. "Wait a minute! Who's sitting next to you?"Thaddeus felt elated. "Grandpa, it's Jessie."Thomas smiled widely. "It's really Jessie. Let me see if Jessie has become more beautiful over the years."Thaddeus glanced at Jessamine as if he were seeking her consent. Jessamine stayed silent in the corner for a while, unsure how to face Thomas. She wasn't prepared for this.She had been discovered just like that.She scooted over and greeted Thomas, "Grandpa, it's me."Thomas was somewhat excited, having saved up a lot to say and not knowing where to start. After a while, he said, "Child, why did you lose so much weight?"Jessamine pursed her lips. "Grandpa, slimming down is trendy now. I'm on a diet."Thomas' eyes narrowed. "Nonsense! That's an unhealthy aesthetic. Listen to Grandpa and eat up. If you want to eat something, let Ted buy it for you. He has money!""Grandpa, I'll buy it myself."Thomas w

There weren't even a pair of women's slippers in the house.Thomas knew that Thaddeus didn't have such abilities and that he was just a reckless man. He did okay in business, but when it came to emotions, he was like a middle school student.Over the past few years, Thomas had spies around the unreliable Thaddeus, keeping an eye on his movements in this area of the city. Indeed, over the past few years, he had been quite well-behaved, and there hadn't been any woman around him.Thomas sat on the couch, lost in thought.Footsteps approached from outside the door, followed by the creak of the door opening.Jessamine followed behind Thaddeus into the house.Thomas first looked her up and down, seeing that Jessamine looked even thinner than she did in the video, feeling a pang of bitterness. "Child, why did you become so thin? This won't do. Listen to Grandpa. Although it's good to lose weight, your health is the most important. Those men's aesthetics aren't worth considering."Je

Jordan took out three scoops of soup from the refrigerator and went to the kitchen to heat it up. Upon opening the packaging, he saw that the ingredients inside had clumped together beyond recognition.Considering Thaddeus' picky nature, Jordan couldn't help but wonder if he could even eat this. The soup was now devoid of any water in the container, all absorbed by the ingredients inside, which had become very thick.He regretted telling Thaddeus that drinking some soup would make his stomach feel better.Glancing back at the dining room, Jordan realized he had no choice. He decided to add some water and cook them again.In the dining room, Thomas finally noticed that Thaddeus hadn't touched his fork and was sitting there stiffly like a fool."Why aren't you eating?" he asked.Thaddeus felt aggrieved. Jordan had come over to ask earlier, but Thomas hadn't heard a word and didn't care about his health at all. Yesterday, Thomas almost lost his grandson!"Grandpa, my stomach isn't

In the past, there was also a jewelry box in the safe at Jardin Estate, and every item there was her favorite. He had always looked down on the stones she brought back from the night market. Jessamine couldn't imagine him wearing a high-end suit and picking out jewelry at a street vendor. It just didn't fit.Jessamine remained silent for a few seconds before returning the entire box to him."I don't want it," she said.Thaddeus' expression stiffened. He was not good at coaxing people."Jessie, these are all bought for you. I was actually planning to take them with me to the grave, but now there's no need. They're all yours."Thomas was passing by with a glass of water and overheard this foolish talk. It made him so anxious he broke into a sweat. He couldn't understand what was going on in Thaddeus' mind. Look at what others could do. They could make their wives happy and have a happy family reunion.Thaddeus couldn't even give Jessamine a proper gift. It was a waste of his good l

Jessamine weighed her options for a while and decided to keep it secret for now. She couldn't let him become a good-for-nothing dad. At least, she needed to test him for a while to make sure he could be a good father before considering telling him. Besides, such a big matter required her to first gauge the reactions of her two children. The children also needed time to understand the sudden appearance of a father."You should put it away. I wouldn't dare to flaunt such a big box of treasures in the streets. I'd become a kidnapping target."The mention of kidnapping reminded Thaddeus of what happened in Hajera, and he still felt a lingering fear."Okay, then I'll put it away for now and add to it gradually. When it's full, I'll bring it to you."He thought to himself that when this box was full, he would consider it as part of the dowry for her. But he dared not say it out loud now. Who knew if he would step on another landmine?…Back at the Lime Golf Course, Noah and Oscar b

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
