  "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.

      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

      Rebecca suddenly recalled that Lucas, who was never close to Rebecca, suddenly came to her to ask about Jessica. He wanted to know how Jessica spent those three years.  Rebecca felt more determined and took the initiative to say, "Sorry for asking you out when you are so occupied, Jessica."  Jessica had been silently sipping her coffee, waiting for Rebecca to speak. Jessica smiled faintly when she heard that. "Mrs. Thomas, it's very kind of you to say that. You've been asking to see me several times, yet I didn't meet with you until today. It's me who should say sorry. Besides, I was late today and kept you waiting. It's so rude of me."  Rebecca found it hard to go on with Jessica's polite formula. The private room fell in silence. Rebecca felt so embarrassed, sitting there.  Jessica didn't feel embarrassed. Rebecca must have something to say. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked to meet with Jessica over and over again.  Jessica poured herself a glass

      The man was kicked to the ground, clutching his stomach and grimacing in pain. "You bitch! I'm gonna slap ——"  Before he could finish, Jessica lifted her leg and the man twitched a bit. He was too timid to challenge Jessica again.  He just looked at the woman fiercely. "You wanna lose your job? Even so, you have to apologize to the general manager first. Otherwise, you are not going back!"  "No, no, no! Please. I'll quit. I'll quit. Please, miss, please help me. I've just graduated from college. He offered to take me on a business trip. But I didn't expect that he would ask me to sleep with the guest..."  Though the woman didn't speak much, Jessica understood what was happening. She took out her phone and pressed "911". She then said to the man, "Get lost yourself, or should I call the police?"  The man clutched his stomach and cursed. Finally, he went back to his private room.  As soon as the man left, the woman Jessica had been hol

    Jessica stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Larkspur. They were standing a little over two meters apart, and she just stood there without any intention of approaching. "Really? But I don't know what else I can do to help you."If it were in the past, Larkspur would have already cursed Jessica in response to her words. But today, she did come for a reason, so she could only pretend not to understand the sarcasm in Jessica's words, “This matter, indeed, only you can help me."Jessica pursed her lips and said, "So it seems like you didn't just happen to pass by and see me, you came here on purpose, didn't you?"Jessica directly pointed out her purpose, and Larkspur awkwardly smiled, "I did come to find you today."Upon hearing her words, Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "If you came to see me for business matters, I think you should make an appointment with my secretary. I just told you earlier that I have a meeting later, and I am tired right now. I don't want to hear anythi

    Jessica was indeed sober, and she obediently loosened her mouth upon hearing his words.The couple had not had any intimate moments since they found out about the pregnancy. One reason was their busy schedule, and the other was that it was not suitable during the early stages of pregnancy.After two months, although it couldn't be completely enjoyable, it could be considered a slight relief.Coming out of the bathroom, Jessica's face was all flushed.After she became pregnant, she particularly enjoyed holding Terry. She didn't know why, but she just felt that holding him was very comfortable and joyful.Terry carried the person to the bed and laid them down. Seeing her looking at him, his eyes darkened, "Hmm?""I wanted to drink water."She spoke and subconsciously pursed her lips.The aftertaste had not yet faded, and Jessica's lips were tinged with red from the inside out. With a slight pursing, she resembled a peach blossom in March, glistening with dew.Terry looked and swallowed

    After dinner, the two of them went downstairs for a walk.On a warm evening in mid-May in LA, Jessica spent an hour leisurely strolling outside. When she returned home, her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.She was not someone who was afraid of heat, but this year she inexplicably became afraid of heat.Terry handed her a cup of warm water and walked into the kitchen with the newly bought watermelon.Jessica sat on the couch, still sweating, and she didn't feel like moving, not even to drink water.The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and it was pleasantly cool. After sitting for a while, she gradually recovered.I got up and walked to the kitchen to wait for Terry to juice the watermelon. Nearly ten kilograms of watermelon is too much for two people to finish. So we juiced two cups of watermelon juice and there was still half of the watermelon left. Terry was scooping out watermelon balls.Jessica had used the small tool and watched Terry digging. She couldn't help

    Caspian and Astrid watched as Jerry entered the room. The two exchanged a glance, and Astrid spoke first, "I did as you instructed..."Is it that she is going to be blamed for what is happening now?Caspian looked at Astrid and asked, "How do you think I should talk to the president?"Astrid smirked and said, "How would I know?"Astrid was thinking about whether to sell Caspian, but in the company, the decision-making power is currently in Caspian's hands. She is just a junior minister, so even if she sells Caspian, she won't gain any benefits.Caspian looked at Astrid and was also thinking about how to push her out and make her take the blame.But he also knew that Astrid would not willingly take the blame.If he had pushed Astrid to take the blame, Astrid would have turned around and exposed their affair, and he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.Weighing the pros and cons, Caspian couldn't come up with a perfect solution, “It's getting late, let's go back and rest.

    The woman left quickly, Terry brushed off the coldness on his face, and looked back at Jessica in the video on his phone, saying, "She's gone."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "You were quite lucky."Terry knew that she did it on purpose, but just smiled and said, "Shouldn't you go take a shower?"Jessica got off work today and it was almost ten o'clock when she returned to her apartment. She had a video call with Terry for a while, and at this time, it was indeed time to take a shower."Got it, I'll hang up first.""Okay, let me know after you have finished taking a shower.""Um."As the screen went black, Terry's face also turned cold. He immediately dialed Jerry's phone number.Jerry was also just about to take a shower when he suddenly received a call from Terry. The alarm bell rang loudly, "Mr. Davison?""Come over."Realizing that things were not simple, Jerry didn't dare to delay, “Okay, I will come to your room right away."After hanging up the phone, Jerry didn't even ta

    Jessica immediately blocked the number, and Terry, who was standing beside her, asked, "What happened?""The high school classmate I ran into at the hospital entrance this morning."Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "So how did they manage to blacken someone?"Jessica glanced at him and snorted, "He doesn't look like a good person."Terry wanted to say something, but the green light ahead turned on.He averted his gaze and started the car to move forward.When I got home, Hannah happened to send a message asking when she and Terry were planning to go on their honeymoon.Hannah didn't know that she was pregnant, and Jessica didn't plan on letting so many people know right now.Terry also planned not to have an excessive honeymoon.

    Larkspur hadn't heard any news about Jessica for several years after graduation, and she always thought that Jessica must have been doing poorly, which was why she didn't dare to show up.So when she saw the man getting out of the Cadillac just now, she instinctively felt that he was Jessica's husband.Moreover, Jessica's gaze just now was also directed towards that direction.And that man was tall and thin, and he didn't look bad either.However, Terry walked towards Jessica step by step, and Larkspur, looking at the eye contact between the two, instantly knew that he had just made a mistake.She looked at Terry and felt that he looked familiar.Not to mention the familiarity in her eyes, Terry's face truly made her jealous of Jessica.
