  Terry chuckled. "It's not that you don't like playboys. Jessica, you just don't like feeling insecure. If I am honest with you, will you think that I'm a little more reliable?"

  Jessica smiled and said, "I don't think I'm that unconfident."

  "Really?"

  Terry curled his lips. "Then you should try accepting me. Maybe you'll gain some unexpected results, right?"

  Jessica looked straight ahead. "But I'm more interested in earning money now. Mr. Davison, aren't you so?"

  "True that."

  Terry answered and then added after a pause, "But earning money and pursuing you are not contradictory."

  Jessica smiled and didn't say anything else.

  Terry's comeback gave her a headache. Jessica rather hoped that Terry had admitted defeat that night and then gave up.

  Jessica wasn't sure if she would fall in love with another man, but she didn't think she had any feelings for Terry.

  The car soon stopped at Jessica's apartment, but Terry didn'

      If Jessica knew that she would run into the two men about to start a fight, she would rather ask a neighbor for help than come downstairs herself.  She fell asleep, but period pain bothered her due to the recent intensive schedule.  Jessica rummaged around the apartment, only to find there were no painkillers at home. She decided to go out and buy some.  As soon as she walked out of the apartment, Jessica unexpectedly saw Lucas and Terry fighting on the empty walkway.  They were going to fight again.  Jessica glanced at Terry and said, "Go on."  She took a step and walked to the side.  Terry pursed his lips and glanced at Lucas. "You're lucky today!"  Terry soon caught up with Jessica. "Are you feeling OK?"  Jessica hurried downstairs. She was wearing a random dress picked from the wardrobe. The wind blew and the hem of the dress touched Terry's calf.  Jessica raised her eyebrows. "I need to buy something."  She sto

      "You don't feel well?"  Lucas helped Jessica to the sofa and had her seated. He looked down at her with a frown.  Jessica held the sofa. "Could you please get me a glass of water?"  "Sure."  Lucas let go of Jessica and then turned to pour a glass of water from the water dispenser.  Jessica sat up on the sofa and reached out to take over the glass and said, "Thank you."  Normally, Jessica wouldn't have let Lucas enter her place.  But today, Jessica was not feeling well and she did not have the strength to argue with Lucas.  Lucas did not speak and just brought the glass to her lips.  Jessica glanced at Lucas. She was too weak to snatch it, so she pressed down on the glass and took a sip of water.  Lucas looked at Jessica with his head bent. It had only been a few hours since he last saw her, yet Jessica seemed to be a different person. Her face looked extremely pale and her lips were dark. She looked so unwell.  Afte

      When Jessica woke up the next day, she felt much better. Although there was still mild pain, it was endurable.  Jessica had a meeting early in the morning, so she woke up a little earlier than usual. She thus arrived at the company early.  Wendy came in as soon as Jessica sat in her chair. "Good morning, Miss Hall."  "Good morning, Wendy."  "Miss Hall, do you want to suppress the gossip online?"  Although Jessica didn't do or say anything, as the "female lead", she naturally drew a lot of attention. People commented on her.  In fact, most of the people were not judging. They were just discussing which guy Jessica should choose.  Some buzzkills did mention Jessica's three—year marriage with Lucas, though.  But most of them were just idle beholders looking for juicy gossip.  Jessica wasn't bothered. "Leave it be."  Wendy nodded. "I see, Miss Hall."  Most of the netizens were partial to Terry and Wendy saw no har

      Rebecca frowned. "But I don't think Jessica wants to see me."  Rebecca was timid, but she was not stupid.  In the Thomas family, Rebecca was just like Jessica. But she didn't have Jessica's pride or her family background, so Rebecca never fought back.  Now that Jessica and Lucas were divorced, Rebecca believed that Jessica wanted to keep a distance from the Thomas family. If Rebecca were Jessica, that would be what she wanted.  "That depends on how you do it, Rebecca. You won't shut outside the door, will you?"  Justin was making it clear that Rebecca had to bond with Jessica.  Rebecca had never dared to go against her strict father—in—law. Although she was reluctant, she had to nod. "I see, father."  Rebecca went out of the study with a pale face. When she returned to her room, she thought of what Justin had entrusted her with.  Although Jessica hadn't gotten over with Rebecca, they had never actually bonded before.

      When the matter was exposed, discussions about Jessica and Lucas started again.  When Hari learned about that, he thought Lucas had finally learned how to play tricks. Yet when he called Lucas, he realized that Lucas was not the mastermind.  After hanging up the phone, Lucas' face darkened. Vincent felt a bit overwhelmed by Lucas' grim face. He thus said, "Mr. Thomas?"  Lucas glanced at Vincent and said, "I'll go back to the Thomas' villa now and come back soon."  Vincent did not dare to say anything else. He could only watch Lucas leave while holding the documents that needed to be handled immediately.  On the way back, Lucas' face remained stern. He knew it must be Justin. He must have asked Dwayne to release the news.  Lucas recalled what Jessica had said the other day and felt as if he was slapped by an invisible hand right in the face.  The traffic light turned green, but Lucas didn't notice it until the following cars started to honk

      Lucas went to get the phone he had thrown into the garden before he even realized what he was doing. The garden was quite earthy.  It was a dumbphone from ten years ago, something even a man as old as Justin wouldn't use now.  The phone was locked. Lucas found himself hilarious when he saw the cue reading "Enter the password".  Lucas thought that he must have lost his mind that he even got curious about what was on the phone.  What was so entrancing about it? It was nothing more than a phone Jessica had deserted.  Yet still, Lucas didn't stop trying to unlock the phone.  When his fingers fell on the keyboard, he subconsciously entered Jessica's birthday as the code.  It didn't work.  Lucas frowned, and for some reason, he tried his own birthday.  Lucas felt a throb in his heart when he unlocked the phone.  It was hard to tell what Lucas' feelings were like at that moment. It was like a hunch for winning a lottery was prov

      "You may head out now," said Lucas as he gestured at Vincent.  Vincent wasn't sure if it was just his illusion that he found Lucas a bit strange.  Lucas seemed to be in a better mood?  Not exactly.  Anyway, Lucas looked less terrifying.  But still terrifying.  Vincent did not dare challenge Lucas. Thus, he responded and left.  Lucas was left alone in the office.  He glanced at the phone on his desk again. After a while, Lucas put the dumbphone into his pocket.  Perhaps Vincent was right. How could Jessica let go of her affection for Lucas that had lasted for over ten years?  The gossip over the land in the north was soon suppressed by Vincent, only a few hours after Dwayne posted it.  Jessica soon found out about that, too. Jessica assumed that Lucas must have been behind that.  Jessica knew about Lucas' pride throughout their three—year marriage. He disdained to play such a trick.  Jessica didn't

      Wendy was a skillful driver. The car stopped after thirty minutes.  Wendy said softly, "Miss Hall?"  Hearing Wendy's voice, Jessica slowly opened her eyes.  Having seen the familiar surroundings, Jessica nodded. "Good night, Wendy."  Jessica then got out of the car. She then spotted Terry.  It had been a week since Jessica last saw Terry at her place, together with Lucas.  "You just had a drink?"  Terry flickered his eyes when he smelled alcohol.  Jessica nodded and raised her eyebrows. "What are you doing here, Mr. Davison?"  Terry smiled at what Jessica said, "What? Can't I just drop by and check on you?"  Jessica felt a bit dizzy because of the alcohol. She didn't want to stay with Terry. "So now you are done?"  "Sure."  Jessica felt uneasy under Terry's gaze. She looked away and said, "Then I'll go upstairs. Good night."  "Good night."  Standing there, Terry waved at Jessica as well.  Jes

    The train arrived at four o'clock, and Hannah and Hollis got off the train only to find that it was already dark. Both of them were momentarily stunned and asked, "Did we miss our stop?"How did it get dark around four o'clock?The wind blowing over was especially cold, and Hannah's face felt like it had been scraped by a knife. She looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said, "There will be a heavy rain today. I need to hurry, or else I'll have to spend the night at this Train Station!""It was quite cold today!"Hollis straightened his clothes and said, "Let's hurry up and go!"The two of them dragged their suitcases and walked outside. It was difficult to hail a taxi in this weather, but luckily there was a subway.Hollis had no plans to look for a job and followed Hannah back to the villa.The two of them came out of the subway station, and the rain had already stopped.Hannah took a taxi half an hour in advance, so she didn't have to wait for long.With such heavy rain,

The villa had a hot spring, so they didn't have to go to a public hot spring pool to soak."Hey, I heard that Kendall was going to get engaged to that Sabrina Novak. Do you know about this?"Hannah paused for a moment with her phone in hand and said, "I haven't heard.""Did Kendall look for you before?"Upon hearing Hollis' words, Hannah glanced at her and said, "Who's been feeding you nonsense again?""My younger brother, he said that one day he saw you with Kendall, and you two seemed quite close. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to you, but then he thought it would be better not to.""Drake had a bad look in his eyes, how could the word 'intim

    All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but

    That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left

    The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl

    Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
