Jessica could tell the discontent and query in Hannah's tone. Thus, Jessica hurried to nudge Hannah, motioning her to stop.
The young lady standing next to Terry glanced at Hannah, then turned her gaze to Jessica. She smiled and extended her hand to Jessica. "Nice to meet you, Miss Hall. My name is Grace, Grace Sandoval." Jessica could see a sense of pride flashing into her eyes. Yet it soon disappeared. Jessica smiled. She stretched out her hand and shook Grace's lightly. "Hello, Miss Sandoval." "Just call me Grace. That's how Terry calls me." Grace then raised a sweet smile. "Are you going to Cloud Top as well, Miss Hall? Shall we go together? Terry's treat." "I'd rather not. We are not as idle as Mr. Davison and still have something to talk with Mona," Hannah spoke over Jessica subconsciously, regardless of her suggestions. Terry glanced at Hannah. He found what Hannah said funny. "That's rare. Since Miss Howell has a business talk, theTerry, who was striding towards the entrance of the Cloud Top, stopped in his tracks when he heard Grace's words. Terry couldn't help but frown. Terry turned to Grace and was about to speak when Grace's phone rang. "Sorry, I have to take it." Grace smiled at Terry, and then picked up the phone right in front of him without any intention of avoiding him. However, Terry still took a few steps back to give Grace some private space. Terry wasn't too far from Grace. He could still hear Grace's voice but couldn't hear the sound from the other side of the phone. "Hi, it's me. Yeah, I'm with Mr. Davison. "Well, we're at the Cloud Top. "I see. I see. We are heading back now. See you later." Grace hung up the phone and excitedly walked over to Terry. She stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "It's Davy, my agent. He reminded me not to forget about my work." Terry raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He then said to Grace s
It was Jessica's treat at Cloud Top. Hannah wanted a bigger party, so she called Caesar and Lance over as well. They drank and danced together. Jessica who had been working hard recently was quite relieved and the unease caused by Lucas dispersed as well. On the way home, Hannah, who was already a little wasted, repeatedly confirmed with Jessica that her mood had not been affected by Terry. After Jessica said no, Hannah leaned against Jessica's shoulder and fell asleep. Jessica leaned against the back of the seat and closed her eyes to get some rest. Jessica didn't feel sad because Terry turned to a new girl. Yet Jessica still felt something. After all, Terry had been pursuing her for a few months, and he had helped her out many times. Were it not for Jessica having just divorced and wasn't seeking any romantic relationships, things might have worked out between them. But it was all pointless. Jessica collected her thoughts and focu
"Miss Hall, a call from reception said that a lady was looking for you." Wendy walked to Jessica's desk and said. That meant someone who came here without an appointment. So Jessica did not speak, waiting for Wendy to give her more details. Wendy looked at Jessica and smiled, saying, "It's Miss Cheek." Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which Miss Cheek?" "The younger Cheek, Luna Cheek." Wendy paused for a moment and asked, "Miss Hall, do you want to see her now?" "Where is she?" "In the 11th guest room on the first floor," Wendy replied. Jessica picked up her phone and stood up with a subtle smile. "I don't think there's anything urgent for Miss Cheek to look for me. Why don't you let her rest in the guest room for some more time and we go for lunch now?" Jessica left the Hall Group directly with Wendy and found a restaurant to dine out. Luna's visit made Jes
Jessica chuckled when she heard Luna's words. She really didn't see that coming. "Did I hear you right? What, Miss Cheek? Are you a marriage counselor now? But I still have to remind you that I have divorced Mr. Thomas." "No, Miss Hall." Luna waved her hands nervously as if she was afraid that Jessica would get her wrong. She continued, "I think there's a misunderstanding between the two of us." "Misunderstanding?" Jessica repeated the word slowly. She saw a flash of resentment in Luna's eyes. "Well, not precisely misunderstanding. I did something wrong and caused you some trouble because I was jealous of you. If you are still angry, I apologize to you." Luna put on her usual fragile and timid look again. "Miss Hall, Lucas shouldn't have married you to protect me. That was his fault. But it was in the past. You've been together for three years and there must have been a bond between you two. My family is far inferior to yours, Miss Hall, and Just
Luna raised her arm and pointed to the table. Jessica turned to look. The coffee cup at Jessica's side was indeed gone. And the empty cup on the floor was Jessica's. Seeing that Jessica was silent, Luna turned to Lucas. "Lucas, don't blame Miss Hall. She really didn't push me too hard. It was my problem. I'm too fragile after that car accident." "Why did Mr. Thomas suddenly come to our company? Are you here to save the beauty, big hero?" Jessica snorted as she looked at Lucas, whose face was stern and brows knitted. "Trissy called me." Lucas was working in his office when he received a call from Trissy. Trissy said anxiously that Luna planned to leave LA because she was not recovering well. And Luna wanted to do something for Lucas before leaving, so she had gone to Jessica herself. Trissy called Lucas and told him she feared that Luna would be bullied. After getting that call, Lucas immediately put down his work and drove to
"Lucas, did you see the photo I sent you? Terry went to a hotel with another woman and they were photographed. Did he give up on Jessica?" Lucas looked at the text. His golden eyes moved slightly, but he still did not send a reply. Lucas had just seen Jessica. He could tell that she was not affected by the gossip at all. Either Jessica didn't give a damn about Terry, or she trusted Terry very much. Either way, Lucas couldn't step forward to ask her about that. It would only worsen their relationship. After Jessica divorced Lucas, she disappeared from LA. When Jessica returned to LA again, she was already the general manager of the Hall Group. And just as Jessica began to show her charm, Terry suddenly appeared to announce his pursuit of Jessica. In the past few months, wherever Jessica appeared, Terry was beside her. Almost everyone in the upper—class society of LA believed that the playboy of the Davison family would e
Terry's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Other than Eden, Terry couldn't think of who it would be. A lot of women wanted to piggyback on him, but not all of them had the guts to do it. Therefore, Terry called his secretary and let him investigate the whole thing. Soon, Terry's secretary called him back. "Mr. Davison, the email came from a small entertainment company. The person in charge said that the photo was provided by a professional agent called Davy." Davy? Terry hung up the phone and recalled. He remembered that Grace's agent was called Davy. It couldn't be just a coincidence, right? Terry turned on his phone and found Grace's number. He immediately dialed the number. The call connected. Without waiting for Grace to speak, he asked, "Your agent was behind the gossip about me on Twitter, right?" Terry's tone sounded cold, and Grace could immediately tell that he was angry. So Grace chuckled. "T, don't be angry. You know
Terry gazed at Jessica for some time before he finally said, "She is not my girlfriend." Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that at first. She then smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Davison, you really don't need to explain it to me." Terry also smiled. In silence, he stared straight at Jessica as if he wanted to see through her. Jessica felt a little uneasy under his scorching gaze. Jessica lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm still in the middle of something. I'll head out now. See you, Mr. Davison." Terry did not speak. He stood where he was and watched Jessica leave, drowned in his own thoughts. "What on earth do you want?" A man's voice cut in from behind Terry. Terry sneered when he turned and saw the man behind him. "I thought Mr. Thomas was a gentleman. I didn't expect you to eavesdrop on others." "You've been targeting me since high school. Whenever I want to develop a business, you'll interfere. Business is business, b
Hannah looked up at him and struggled to hold back her tears.After Eden put her in the car, closed the car door, took two steps back, and stood beside Georgia, they watched her.The car windows were wide open, and Hannah looked at her parents from inside the car. She had always believed that she wouldn't cry on a day like this, but her eyes turned red in an instant.I don't know why, even though it wasn't a long-distance marriage, Kendall and she were childhood sweethearts who knew each other inside out, but she still felt a bit melancholic.Maybe it's because after getting married, one would have two additional identities.However, Gemma has already passed away, and the mother-in-law relationship was completely non-existent for her.In the morning, Hannah was talking about Georgia, who had shallow eye sockets. Now, her eyes are also red, and she is wiping the tears from her eye sockets with a tissue.The scene was actually quite liv
Kendall saw Hannah nod and had already locked in four numbers.He pursed his lips and said, "Is it related to my birthday?"Hannah nodded again, and the only common number between their two birthdays was 2.Kendall did not ask the third question and directly gave the answer: 2.Mona laughed and said, "You guessed pretty accurately."Hannah drew another card, the questions could not be repeated, the two questions from earlier could not be asked again.But this didn't pose a challenge for Kendall, as he directly asked Hannah if the cards in her hand were unrelated to today's date.Today is October 17th, and he was able to eliminate three numbers all at once. If he was lucky, the answer would be among these three numbers.Hannah's expression changed, she pursed her lips, and then she spoke, "No."Kendall, however, suddenly laughed and said, "It was 7."The groom's confident words made the groomsmen behind him feel sk
The members of the groom's party were eager for a quick resolution, and their first question was how many red envelopes it would take to open this door.If the gatekeeper was someone else, maybe the other person could have easily unlocked the gate by adding a few more codes.But the gatekeeper was Jessica, no matter how many red envelopes were handed to her, she remained unmoved.Finally, the people outside had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Ms. Hall, just tell us, how can we open this door today!"Jessica curved her lips and said slowly, "Simple, let Kendall speak."As soon as she finished speaking, Kendall outside the door spoke up, "What do you want?""I had no demands, I asked you three questions, and if your answers satisfied me, I would open the door and let you in.""You asked."Kendall was determined to open this door. Even if Jessica had asked three questions, or even thirty questions, he wouldn't have minded.
Hannah rarely had insomnia, and she didn't fall asleep until almost 2 o'clock in the morning after lying down around ten o'clock.The next day, before six o'clock, Georgia woke me up. Her eyes couldn't open, and she kept yawning as she opened the door.Georgia was very puzzled when she saw her like this, "I let you go to bed before ten o'clock last night, why are you still so tired?"Hannah raised her hand and yawned, feeling guilty: "I went to bed after 11 o'clock, and I even woke up in the middle."Georgia sighed and said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, the makeup artist has arrived."Hannah was pushed into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror for a while before she started washing her face and brushing her teeth.Cold water splashed onto her face, and after coming out of the bathroom, she felt much more awake, but the drowsiness was still irresistible.The makeup artist and cameraman had arrived, and they were ju
After saying that, Hannah only realized that her words were a bit straightforward.Her face grew hot and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Shall we go to the cemetery this afternoon?"Kendall looked at her for a while before speaking, "Okay."Hannah was pregnant, so naturally she had to tell Gemma.If it had been discovered earlier, Gemma might have known about Hannah's pregnancy.But in this world, many things do not have "ifs". Some things just cannot be perfect.After the two of them had lunch at the Howell family, Hannah took a nap and then they left around two o'clock to go to the bridal shop to have the size altered.Afterwards, Hannah went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of peonies, and she went to Western Cemetery with Kendall.After Gemma passed away, Kendall's grandfather had originally planned to take her back to their hometown for burial, considering that Gemma had spent her whole life trapped within
Hannah was held by him for a while and felt a bit hot. Unable to resist, she pushed him lightly and said, "It's a bit hot."Upon hearing her words, Kendall placed her back on the bed and asked, "Did you tell Jaylen and them?"Hannah shook her head and said, "No, you're the dad, so of course I have to tell you first."She said, pausing for a moment, "I will tell them at dinner tonight.""Okay."Kendall looked down at her belly, but this month she didn't show at all, and there was nothing to see.He looked for a while and then said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."Hannah thought the same way, she didn't even know how long she had been pregnant.If we count from the last menstrual period, she has been pregnant for at least two months.In the past two months, she didn't feel anything at all.Hannah nodded and suddenly felt a bit tired, opening her mouth and yawning.Seeing her like this, Kendall g
Kendall glanced at her sideways and said, "Isn't it obvious?"Hannah, of course, knew that he was looking at her, but she just wanted to ask and confirm."This photographer was quite good at taking photos."Kendall's gaze was quite affectionate.She looked at the photo for a while again, and then happily put it down and looked at other photos.However, there was only one photo that was captured so well, the rest were mostly intentionally posed and the outcome was good.Hannah had been flipping through hundreds of photos for over three hours when Kendall finally took the album from her hands and forcefully carried her away, saying, "Go take a shower, if you don't shower now, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."Hannah hooked her arm around his neck, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him. "Don't you like the photo? Why aren't you looking at it?""There was plenty of time to take a slow look later."Hannah clicked her ton
Hannah was really happy today. The news of Gemma's passing had been affecting her and Kendall's mood these past few days.When I returned to the company today, I learned that we had signed such a big project. Naturally, everyone was happy no matter who it was.During the dinner, Hannah drank a bottle of beer and couldn't drive back home, so she had to ask Kendall to come and pick her up.More than two months ago, she and Kendall announced their marriage by sending out wedding candies, and everyone knew about the wedding.However, many people in the company had never seen what Kendall looked like. After the dinner, they all gossiped and stood on the roadside, waiting for someone to show up.Hannah rarely felt embarrassed, "Why don't you go back? It's already late, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow.""Ms. Howell, rest assured, I set more than ten alarms. It was absolutely impossible for me to be late for work!""Was Ms. Howell worri
Hannah and Kendall returned to the villa late in the evening, feeling hungry and impatient as the takeaway they had ordered in advance had not arrived yet. They also got wet when they rushed inside."Go take a shower first."Kendall handed her a cup of warm water and gestured for her to go upstairs.The rain was pouring heavily, and it was still pitter-pattering down at the moment. Hannah also felt a bit cold.She drank a few sips of water, then she put down the cup and went upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.Hannah was both hungry and cold, so she took a hot shower and then went downstairs.Kendall just came in with an umbrella, carrying takeout. "You go ahead and eat, I'll go upstairs and change into a fresh set of clothes."Hannah walked over to the dining table and sat down, watching him take out and arrange everything.Kendall placed the chicken soup in front of her, "Drink the soup first, so it doesn't get cold
