Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 704
The father and son were currently at a standoff. Lucas' call to Jessamine went unanswered earlier, but now Jessamine was calling back. Seeing her call coming in, Lucas felt like he had found a refuge. He wasn't afraid of Thaddeus anymore."Lucas, did you and your sister have fun today?" Jessamine's gentle voice came through Lucas' smartwatch. Before Lucas could reply, Layla stood up and held Lucas' arm, blurting out, "Mommy, Daddy and Lucas are fighting.""Huh?" Jessamine's mind was filled with many questions.Lucas, playing the victim, followed Layla's lead and complained, "Mommy, I'm scared. Sob!" His voice sounded as if he had suffered a great injustice. He hadn't even cried when he was bullied by classmates in kindergarten, but this time, it was unbearable.The two children had been pampered by Jessamine since they were young. She was strict in their upbringing but restrained her temper, never resorting to violence or losing her temper with the children. Her educational approac

Jessamine politely declined Oscar's dinner invitation and, after packing up, went downstairs with her bag ahead of time.She couldn't sit still in the office anymore.Thaddeus' Bently pulled up directly in front of Jessamine, stopping the car right in front of her. Jessamine ignored Thaddeus and opened the back door to check on the children.Seeing that Lucas and Layla were in good spirits, her heart finally felt settled.Jessamine didn't sit in the front passenger seat but went straight to the back seat.Seeing that his "backup" was here, Lucas disregarded his manly image, scooted over, and leaned against Jessamine, acting again."Mommy…"Jessamine's expression froze for a moment. She knew her child best, and Lucas wasn't usually like this. Now he was clinging to her arm, clearly feeling unfairly treated.The fire that had just been suppressed rose again."Thaddeus, did you hit my son?"Thaddeus glanced at the rearview mirror and, upon seeing Jessamine's questioning expressi

After a while, Jessamine turned and said, "Lucas, Daddy's computer has important work files on it. You can't just use it casually. Do you remember?"Lucas knew he had done something wrong and nodded obediently. "I know.""Why did you lie to Mommy?"Lucas, feeling guilty, pouted and didn't dare to speak. If Jessamine found out what he had done, she might never let Xander return the computer to him.Meanwhile, Thaddeus parked the car outside a large mall."Lucas, a real man should be brave enough to admit his mistakes. Do you want to tell Mommy the truth, or should I?"This time, Lucas was really caught. After weighing his options, he felt that confessing on his own would be more likely to gain Jessamine's forgiveness."Mommy, I used Daddy's computer to go online."Thaddeus, sitting in the driver's seat, had already unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at the three of them in the back. When he heard Lucas' words, he couldn't help but chuckle again.He had asked Lucas to con

Lucas' mind was racing. He never expected Thaddeus to hold this against him. And this scoundrel father of his had no sense of decency and actually threatened him with this incident.Thaddeus was now standing in front of the shopping cart, facing Lucas directly. From this position, he could clearly see Jessamine pushing Layla over.He reminded Lucas again, "Your mommy is coming over here. Otherwise, I'll tell her all about how you hacked my system."Lucas, feeling vigilant, glanced back and saw Jessamine hurrying toward them. He reluctantly said in a louder voice, "Daddy."Thaddeus' ears twitched, and a smile tugged at his lips. "What? I didn't catch that."Forced by his scoundrel father, Lucas had to say it louder, "Daddy."Thaddeus burst into laughter, ruffled Lucas' hair, and asked, "What would my good son like to eat tonight?"At that moment, Jessamine arrived, pushing Layla. She didn't know what the father and son were talking about just now that made Thaddeus burst into lau

Thaddeus secretly felt that his son was amazing for doing something he couldn't have done at his age. He recalled himself at the age of four. He was most likely climbing walls and trees while chasing pigeons with another group of kids. Not only did he doubt himself, but he even doubted his friend, Corvus, who made his fortune through programming. He probably couldn't have achieved what his son did either.After dinner, while Jessamine was cleaning up the kitchen, Thaddeus sent a WhatsApp message to Corvus.Thaddeus: "Corvus, at what age did you start learning programming?"Corvus: "Probably around junior year. Why? Are you thinking of learning?"Thaddeus: "My son learned it when he was four. Impressive, right?"Corvus: "???"Corvus thought Thaddeus wanted to discuss something important, but it turns out he was just showing off.Thaddeus: "My son can hack into people's systems, impressive, isn't it?"Thaddeus: "Do you believe my son can hack into your company's intranet?"Tha

Jessamine pursed her lips and smiled faintly. Both children were almost five years old, and she deserved to enjoy the feeling of being carefree for a while."Can Lucas and Layla stay with you for these few days?" she asked.Thaddeus pondered for a few seconds, quickly reviewing his work schedule for the next few days in his mind. Some of his upcoming trips and social engagements had been postponed by Jordan."As long as the two rascals are willing, I have no problem here," he replied."Okay, it's settled then."Thaddeus' phone rang, and he glanced at the caller ID before stepping out onto the balcony to answer."Mr. Holt, several of the family members of that model who was injured a few days ago have approached Noah. He's being pressured by them now."Thaddeus held a cigarette between his fingertips and replied calmly, "These people just want money. Contact that model and see what she's demanding. Fulfill her requests."Jordan acknowledged the request and hung up the phone.Me

"You heartless bastard! You're still trying to shift the blame! Let's beat him!"Noah looked up at his front door. It was just a few meters away, and yet, he couldn't return home."Surveillance cameras are overhead. If you're sure about resorting to violence, it's your choice. The legal department of Holt Jewelry will pursue justice to the end. Each person here will be held accountable. No one will escape."These people lacked experience. Noah's words scared them into not daring to advance further. They couldn't take physical action, but perhaps they could still use their voices, right? The scene fell quiet for a few seconds, but then the clamor resumed.A group of people pointed fingers at Noah, cursing and spitting.Noah, trapped in the crowd, couldn't move. He began coughing violently. When he realized his asthma was acting up again, he reached into his bag for his medication. But just as he grabbed the inhaler, his bag was snatched away by the troublemakers, who tore it apart

Jessamine was momentarily stunned. Her mind was unable to process and understand the deeper meaning of what he said.Where exactly was he planning to squeeze in? Of course, she had questions, but she didn't dare to ask. She feared Thaddeus would tell her he wanted to squeeze into the master bedroom. Knowing him, he absolutely would have such intentions.She wouldn't give him the chance to ask such a question.After seeing her remain silent, Thaddeus suddenly chuckled softly. "I'll squeeze in with our son."Jessamine breathed a sigh of relief. Lucas, who was running around in the living room, became petrified after hearing those words, seemingly acting as if a disaster had struck.Lucas obediently walked over to Jessamine, looking at her pleadingly for help. "Mommy, could you let…"Lucas wanted to say, "let him sleep on the couch", but quickly changed his tune upon seeing Thaddeus' gaze. "Could you let Daddy sleep on the couch?"Thaddeus' eyebrows twitched. Although the little br

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
