Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 764
Jessamine had no chance to refuse when Thaddeus leaned over and lay down beside her.Thaddeus neatly folded the blanket that was on her and set it aside. He then covered them both with the large quilt he had brought. With practiced ease, he drew her naturally into his embrace."Jessie, I hope you'll give me a chance to meet your family when we return to Hajera."Jessamine grew quiet."There will be a chance."She pondered when would be the right time to introduce him to her family. She knew she needed to communicate with her grandmother in advance, as bringing him home suddenly might not be well-received.She knew very well how her grandmother would react.Thaddeus gently nudged her head with his chin and whispered, "I will do my best.""Don't feel too pressured about this. We don't need to rush this matter.""Okay."He understood that rushing was not an option. Changing her family's impression of him in such a short time seemed nearly impossible. He needed to find a way to w

Thaddeus kissed Jessamine, leaving her feeling dazed.Thaddeus's hand slid up her dress, looking for that particular soft spot of hers but stopping at her lower abdomen.He lifted her nightgown and saw a surgical scar on her otherwise flawless skin.It was clearly a scar from childbirth. Xander had mentioned before that she had endured hardships during the births of Layla and Lucas.When Thaddeus saw the scar, a sharp pain pierced his heart.He had missed out on many important moments by not being by her side."Jessie, that must've hurt a lot, huh?"Jessamine stared at the ceiling, recalling memories from four years ago. She spoke calmly, "It wasn't that painful at first. The doctor told me the babies were in an abnormal fetal position and that I had lost a lot of amniotic fluid. I was worried they would suffer from hypoxia and only hoped they could be born safely."She must have gone numb with pain when giving birth. It wasn't until the doctor advised her to move around afterw

Thaddeus wasn't speaking nonsense. It did rain heavily that night. There was no thunder, but the wind howled so fiercely that the raindrops pitter-pattered on the windows.Worrying that Layla might be scared, Jessamine slipped into her room in the dead of night. Layla was a timid child, always needing to snuggle up to her mother on rainy days to sleep soundly.The return to Hajera was now on the agenda. Jessamine had already booked the flight tickets in advance and bought local specialties from Zenville for her family. Everything was set.Friday arrived in a blink. For Thaddeus, this day felt more dreadful than the day before school started.Soon, he would be on his own again. To make matters worse, he needed a few more days to wrap up his work at the company and couldn't leave with them.Thaddeus couldn't bear the thought of what his life would be like after his family was gone.Lately, he had gotten used to the routine of waking up each morning to make breakfast for his family.

The next morning, Thaddeus got up early to make breakfast. It was quite a feast. He had recently gotten several recipes from Lana. As usual, he was on a video call with her, who guided him remotely while he cooked.After all, this was the last breakfast he would make for them in a while. Who knew when the next opportunity would be? He made sure it was a plentiful meal.There was a balanced mix of carbs, proteins, fruits, and so on.Jessamine came downstairs with the children after freshening up. Thaddeus had already laid out a table full of food. The breakfast resembled a grand feast.Seeing the faint dark circles under his eyes, she asked, "Did you get up really early?""Not really, just early enough," Thaddeus replied.He was lying. In fact, he had barely slept a wink. Instead of just lying in bed awake, he figured he might as well get up and make breakfast for his family.As he watched her eat, Thaddeus thought about Jerome, who was still hanging around Hajera. He wondered

Thaddeus exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, "Who hit you?"Sasha was whining on the other side of the phone, "I was at the hospital. While waiting in line, a tall, burly, and disgusting-looking guy hit me."She paused for a moment and continued, "He's coming back after he's paid his bill. He said he'll show us who's boss. "Thaddeus, please come quickly! I'm scared!""Send me the address," replied Thaddeus.After hanging up, Sasha immediately sent her location to him. He drove over as quickly as he could. When he arrived, he found Sasha crouching in the hallway, looking completely defeated. One side of her face was swollen with what seemed like finger marks. It was clear she had been hit.Looking at her, Thaddeus knew she must have gotten tangled up in a troublesome situation.When Sasha saw Thaddeus exit the elevator, it was as if she had seen her savior. She stood up in a flash as her tears began to flow uncontrollably."Ted!"Her shout caught the attention of the man stan

Sasha knew she was in the wrong. With so many people accusing her, she had no way to defend herself. She just held her swollen, reddened cheek and shook her head.The atmosphere was tense. Not far away, the door to the examination room opened."Sasha, I'm ready. Let's head back."The gentle voice drew everyone's attention. Amy, wearing a loose cotton dress and holding a medical report, exited the examination room. She froze when she saw Thaddeus.Thaddeus now understood the situation. His blockheaded sister was accompanying Amy for a prenatal checkup. The two of them had cut in line, causing a dispute with the other pregnant woman. Sasha stood up for her friend and ended up hitting the pregnant woman.His sister was incredibly dimwitted.Thaddeus felt ashamed of her. When would she understand that her so-called friends were only using her for their selfish purposes and had never genuinely considered her a friend?"Sasha, apologize!"Sasha still felt reluctant. She had been hi

Amy was already on probation, so she didn't dare get involved in any trouble again. Besides, what happened today had nothing to do with her. She didn't say a single curse word, nor did she get physical.The person who rudely hit someone was Sasha.Even so, Amy was still somewhat scared and instinctively hid behind Thaddeus. The two police officers, with serious expressions, wouldn't just rely on the nurse's side of the story."Let's check the surveillance footage first."After a short while, the surveillance footage from that period was copied. After watching it, the police turned to Sasha and said, "Miss, please come with us."Sasha suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. While on the verge of tears, she looked at Thaddeus with reddened eyes, as if seeking help."Ted…" she pleaded.Thaddeus had just reviewed the surveillance footage with the police. Sasha's actions were even worse than what the eyewitness described. It was no wonder that man couldn't resist hitting her.

Thaddeus glanced at the electronic wristband on Amy's hand. "Aren't you on probation? Why are you running around?""Probation still requires scheduled prenatal check-ups; it's allowed by the authorities," Amy answered.Thaddeus faintly smirked as though mocking her. "True, we still need to take good care of it."Without the treasured "weapon" within her, how else could she hope to get a reduced sentence?"Excuse me, I need to get through," Thaddeus said. He pressed the button on the car key, but Amy leaned against the front of the car, showing no intention of moving.At that moment, Thaddeus' phone started vibrating wildly in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Jessamine. Before leaving, he had repeatedly reminded her to call as soon as the plane landed. After looking at the time, he realized the flight had probably just landed at the airport.He didn't immediately answer. Amy calmly crossed her arms and watched him. A few seconds later, she walked over fro

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
