Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 819
Thaddeus walked over to Jessamine. He took the towel from her hands to help dry her hair.Her hair was thick and smooth. Water droplets slid down the tips of her hair and landed in his palm. Though it was cold, it created a burning sensation within him.He brushed through her hair mechanically, with each strand seeming to have a life of its own, burrowing straight into his heart. His emotions were a tangled mess."Jessie…" He called out.Jessamine could hear the obvious hoarseness in his voice—a seductive tone laced with desire. Memories from four years ago suddenly crowded her thoughts. Vivid images flooded her mind. She recalled the countless intimate nights when he pinned her under him, calling out her name repeatedly."Jessamine…""Jessamine, why aren't you crying?""Just bear with it one last time. I promise I won't tease you again after this.""Jessamine, don't be shy. It's sweet."…Adults did not need things spelled out to understand them. A simple glance or a call

Thaddeus gazed into her eyes, feeling the pleasure her hands were bringing him. He felt happy. It was as if she had just filled his heart with joy, enough to keep him feeling content for a while.It took a while before the two of them finally came out of the bathroom.Jessamine went to the wardrobe to find a new set of clothes to change into. The clothes she was wearing earlier had been hand-washed by Thaddeus and now hung on the balcony of the master bedroom.Jessamine got herself ready. Thaddeus too finished what he had to do."It's getting late," he said.Jessamine's hair was almost dry. It was indeed time for her to go home. She wondered if Layla would be waiting for her to tell her a bedtime story.Thaddeus walked over and pulled her into his arms, unable to hide his reluctance."Jessie, when will you move in? I want to hold you every day," he said.Jessamine suddenly remembered him saying Thomas had already moved in. All of a sudden she was nervous, wondering if he might

Jessamine thought of her own company and remarked, "It's possible we might be collaborating in the future."After all, both she and Thaddeus were in the same industry. Jessamine was also dedicated to creating a high-end brand. Holt Jewelry was her biggest competitor in the country.Thaddeus started the car and drove onto the main road. "Jessie, I'll need you to look out for me in the future. Hajera is your territory now, isn't it?"His unexpected display of vulnerability left Jessamine feeling this wasn't like him. He had always been at the top of the pyramid in his career. He would be the last person to say they needed to be protected.He'd either look out for others or dominate them.Jessamine sighed and said, "In future business dealings, I hope you will be kind and not make things difficult for me."Thaddeus shook his head and smiled, "I won't make things difficult for you anywhere except in bed."As they stopped at an intersection, he glanced over. Jessamine was leaning aga

Thaddeus thought that Jessamine's scent and the smooth touch of her skin were far more addictive than the cigarette. The sound of a car engine came from behind, and then the car pulled up next to Thaddeus. The car window was rolled down halfway, revealing Xander's serious face.Xander glanced at Thaddeus without any expression.Xander mocked, "Working the night shift here? That's tough." Xander was clearly mocking Thaddeus with his remark, implying that only bodyguards would stay up to watch over someone. It was evident that the Patton family’s bodyguards were either off duty at this time or hidden away in some unseen corner.Thaddeus flicked the ash from his cigarette, giving off the vibe of someone who no longer cared about his dignity."Hey there, Bro. Are you off work?" Thaddeus said to Xander.Xander narrowed his eyes at being called "Bro" by Thaddeus. He shot a sharp glare at Thaddeus and realized that he was beyond caring about maintaining his dignity. Thaddeus had resp

Xander turned around and couldn't help but curse. "Son of a bitch."What he said was only audible to the driver inside the car, but Thaddeus wasn't a fool. He could tell it wasn't something nice just by looking at the movements of Xander's mouth. However, Thaddeus didn't mind because he knew that Xander would have to accept him sooner or later.Thaddeus didn't know which room was Jessamine's—he just saw her walk into one of the villas in the area. He couldn't quite explain the peculiar feeling he had. Even though he couldn't see or touch her, he still felt a step closer to her and was at ease.The next day, after Jessamine finished chairing the morning meeting for the design department at the company, she sat in her office and purchased some supplements suitable for elderly people.Since Thomas had come to the city, she was definitely going to pay him a visit.That morning, she mentioned to Gloria that Thomas had come to Hajera. Therefore, she would be taking the kids to meet thei

Although Thaddeus had bought a new computer after returning to Zenville, his old computer still had many important files on it. At the moment, he didn't have anything else to do, so he decided to go over."Wait for me. I'll come over now," he said.Jessamine hung up and took a small sip of her coffee. She had called to ask him when would be a good time to visit Thomas. If he was busy, she figured she could go home now before the evening rush hour to pick up the two kids first.In the end, they didn't get to the main point after all the meandering conversation.Jessamine rubbed her temples, feeling a bit dizzy. Her thoughts were constantly led astray whenever she talked to him these days. She had a tendency to forget her original intentions when she spoke to him about something."This can't go on," Jessamine reminded herself inwardly.In the time it took for Jessamine to finish her cup of coffee, Thaddeus had come over from his office building across the street to Kama Jewelry.

"Mr. Holt, should we get going? If we stay any longer, I'm afraid it might be too much for you to endure," Jessamine teased.She deliberately placed her hand near his firm chest. As for which part of him couldn't handle it… well, she didn't need to say it out loud. Thaddeus' throat tightened and his eyelids wouldn't stop twitching. His gaze landed on her smooth and delicate hand. His mind was filled with scenes from the bathroom yesterday.There was no doubt he was somewhat addicted. "Jessie..."He held her mischievous hand and kissed it gently. Then, he placed it against his abs, guiding her to slide down along his muscles.Jessamine's fingers curled slightly as his warmth enveloped her, stirring up a rush of feeling within her.It was impossible not to have improper thoughts at that moment.Jessamine couldn't stop thinking about the scenes from office romance comic strips she had seen before.At that moment, a sharp knock on the door brought both of them back to reality.

Jessamine was a designer with a unique taste. Therefore, ordinary designs couldn't catch her eye. Designs that could make her praise repeatedly meant she acknowledged their design concept and it aligned with her own taste.At that time, Thaddeus was dealing with some tricky work matters and replied perfunctorily, "Not bad. It's just coffee. Why can't you drink it in any cup?"Because of that, Jessamine gave him the silent treatment and even locked the master bedroom. She even left him to sleep in the study room.Thaddeus snapped back to reality. He looked at the cup in his hand and then glanced at the one on the desk that belonged to her, noticing how perfectly they matched as a pair.Thaddeus was in a good mood, and his impression of the young lady who had just brought him coffee improved a bit. "Jessie, so you bought this set of cups again and even saved one for me."Jessamine finished tidying up the items on her desk and glanced over at him. Thaddeus looked relaxed, leaning bac

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
