Justin looked a bit embarrassed when he heard Lucas. Justin then tossed a sharp glance at Olivia.
"Olivia has been quite willful and always provoked Jessica. That was Olivia's fault. You don't need to worry about that. Marry Jessica again and leave Olivia to us." Justin looked at Olivia and said, "Last time, I only locked you up in the Black House for three days. If you stir up any trouble again, you'll see how hard your life can be." Olivia was very surprised and dissatisfied when Justin made her sound like a troublemaker. She wanted to refute, but when she heard Justin's warning, she lost the guts. She snorted and said, "I won't, grandpa." "Alright, Lucas, come with me." Justin stood up and said to Lucas. Lucas nodded to Rebecca and followed Justin to the study. Dwayne helped Justin to the sofa in the study and left. Lucas closed the door and walked to Justin. "What do you think about remarrying Jessica?" Lucas didn'Jessica's birthday party was held at the Ritz—Carlton New York, Battery Park Hotel, a five—star triple—A hotel. The banquet was extremely grand. Jessica was wearing an ice—blue gown decorated with pearls, and the makeup on her face was exquisite. She walked up to Lucas and Terry with a smile. "Mr. Davison, Mr. Thomas, thank you for coming to my birthday party." Jessica put on a proper smile, both polite and distant. Lucas looked at Jessica. He felt a sting in his heart when he saw the distance in Jessica's bright eyes. Terry didn't seem to mind that. He raised his goblet and clinked it against Jessica's. "Miss Hall, you look stunning tonight." Jessica smiled. "Thank you." Lucas, who was standing over, only found the scene annoying. He tightened his grip on his goblet. Lucas tried to say something nice to Jessica, yet he just didn't have Terry's glib tongue. In the end, Lucas said nothing. Most o
Although Morgan didn't say much, the guests could still tell from the way Morgan looked at Jessica that he loved his daughter very much. Besides, the assets of the Hall family were priceless. It would be hard to tell how much money Jessica would possess. Morgan always protected his daughter well. No one had ever found out who Morgan's daughter was unless Jessica told them about her identity herself. Although some had made a guess, the guests still made some noise when they heard it from Morgan. "So she is Morgan's daughter. She is so beautiful, like a star." "What are you talking about? Miss Hall is much nobler than a star. Think about how much money she has now! Billions!" "I heard that Miss Hall is still single now? I wonder if she has any intentions to wed for business's sake." Discussions broke out among the audience. On such an occasion, everyone tried to say something nice. The smile on Morgan's face deepened. After he
Jessica turned to leave. Suddenly, she heard a bang from behind. The loud noise attracted people's attention even from the venue. Some noticed Terry and Lucas and were about to come over to have a look. Jessica didn't want the two to make a fuss. Thus, she had to return and keep an eye on the two men. They were beating each other hard. Jessica said angrily, "It's my birthday today. Is this how you guys celebrate my birthday? By blowing it?" Terry and Lucas both stopped. Those who had noticed the noise came over first. They had already seen Lucas and Terry fighting. Later, more people came over. Jessica didn't feel like interfering, but she didn't want to embarrass Morgan. After all, a lot of big shots and celebrities in the circle showed up tonight. Thus, Jessica asked Hannah to split the two. Jessica called the waiters to help dismiss the guests. Suddenly, a guest cried out. Jessica looked over and saw Lucas leaning at the f
At midnight, Hari was alone at the terminal building of Los Angeles Airport. He checked the time again. Lucas' flight should have arrived, yet Hari still hadn't caught sight of Lucas. The news of Terry and Lucas fighting over Jessica had been widely spread. Hari couldn't believe what he had just heard. The way Hari saw it, Lucas was the kind of person who rarely revealed his emotions. How could Lucas get himself into a fistfight at such a grand party? Finally, the loudspeaker sounded again. And Lucas arrived. "Lucas, here." Hari waved his hand, and Lucas walked over to him. Just as Hari was about to start gossiping about what happened tonight, his gaze fell on Lucas' face. Hari froze a bit. "Did you really get into a fight with Terry?" With that, Lucas tossed a cold glance at Hari. The coldness in his golden eyes made Hari shiver. It had been some time since Hari last saw Lucas with that sullen look. Yet
No one knew who posted the video of Lucas and Terry fighting each other online, but the video soon spread widely in the business circle in LA. After Justin knew about it, he immediately asked Dwayne to call Lucas, but no one answered. Justin was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He then called Morgan to apologize, and sat in the study until 11 o'clock. Justin usually went to bed at around ten o'clock, but now it was almost midnight. Dwayne couldn't help but remind Justin, "Mr. Thomas, it's almost twelve o'clock." Justin looked up at Dwayne. "My phone, please." Dawyne knew Justin was going to call Lucas again, so he brought the phone from the desk to him. Justin took the phone, put on his reading glasses, and searched for Lucas' number. Meanwhile, in the ward. Hari finally stopped yakking so that Lucas could enjoy the tranquility. However, the tranquility didn't last long before Lucas' phone rang. Lucas glanced at his ph
Jessica was a little surprised when she saw Lucas' apology on Twitter. Jessica never expected that Lucas would publicly apologize to her. Jessica suddenly felt that she never knew Lucas. Hannah found Lucas strange, too. "Jessica, do you think Lucas' account was hacked?" Hannah sent another message when she saw her message was marked read. Jessica was just about to reply when a call came in. It was Lucas. "Good morning, Mr. Thomas. What can I do for you?" Jessica hedged a bit before she picked up the phone. "Good morning, Miss Hall." Lucas sounded somewhat weak. "I'm sorry about what happened at your birthday party. I hope I can make it up by treating you to dinner." Jessica raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Thomas, didn't you already make a public apology? You don't have to take me to dinner." "A public apology is just my attitude, but it doesn't mean that you must forgive me. For the future cooperation between our two famil
It rained in downtown LA. As soon as Jessica opened the car door, she immediately felt a chill. Jessica was distracted for a moment before a coat fell on her shoulders. Jessica turned around and saw Terry standing beside her, holding an umbrella. He reached out and said, "Miss Hall, let me help you get out of the car." Jessica looked at Terry's hand and hesitated for a moment. She didn't put her hand on it. She got out of the car directly. Terry didn't mind that. He retracted his hand and waited for Jessica to get out of the car before he closed the door. The two walked into the mall together. Jessica saw a row of claw machines in the arcade and could not help but stop. "Did you bring me here to catch a doll, Mr. Davison?" "Don't you like it?" Terry tilted his head and smiled at her. "Miss Hall, you can have fun today. Just take it as another birthday party for you." "Maybe next time. I don't have much time today." Jessica raised he
"Okay, thank you," Jessica replied and left the restaurant. Although she looked calm, she was quite surprised deep down. Lucas left because he didn't feel well? What on earth happened to him? Jessica was once Lucas' wife after all. As far as she knew, he never put his health first. He wouldn't have left if he only felt slightly uncomfortable. If Lucas had left because Jessica was late, he must have thought of a better excuse. Jessica stood at the door of the restaurant and thought for a while. She didn't think rushing to the Thomas villa was proper, so she called Lucas. To her surprise, Hari answered the phone. "Mr. Hartley?" "Miss Hall, what happened?" Hari's voice sounded unusually indifferent. Jessica paused and continued to ask, "Sorry, I was late today. When I went to the restaurant, I heard from the waitress that Mr. Thomas left because he felt unwell. I'm just calling to check how he's doing now."
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
