Hannah knew that Jessica was unharmed, so she didn't stay long at Jessica's place.
After Hannah left, Jessica grabbed something to eat and took a nap. By the time she woke up, it was already afternoon. She felt much better now. Thus, Jessica decided to drive to a boutique. Lucas tore the collar of her dress apart yesterday. She needed a new one. Jessica's apartment, located in an expensive area in LA, was quite posh with good privacy. She didn't have to worry about being snapped there. With a sound, the elevator came to a halt. Jessica walked into the underground garage. She turned a corner, and she immediately saw Lucas standing in front of her car. It had only been a few hours since they parted. Jessica wondered what brought Lucas here. Besides, Jessica didn't understand why Lucas had decided to wait in the garage rather than going upstairs and knocking on her door. "Mr. Thomas. Why are you standing there? You are not askin"I do have a question for you." Terry put down the pizza in his hand as well. "Which is?" "You and Lucas, did you really get back together?" Jessica didn't expect that question from Terry. She was dumbfounded at first and then chuckled. "What does this have to do with you, Mr. Davison?" Terry did not answer the question. He placed the glass on the table, and then stood up and said to Jessica with a smile, "I think I'll leave you to a good rest." "You may see yourself out, Mr. Davison," said Jessica, following Terry to the door. "Jessica." Terry opened the door and suddenly stopped. He looked at Jessica and asked, "If the person four years ago hadn't been Lucas, would you still have married him?" "What are you suggesting?" Jessica's voice turned cold. Terry looked at Jessica. "I'm not suggesting anything. I'm only curious. If that man hadn't been Lucas, would you still have married him?" "Terry, you know something about
Hearing that, Lucas looked even more sullen. He then had a quick review of what had happened the other day. He attended a private gathering between the Thomas family and the Hartley family that day. The chosen restaurant was private property owned by Hari's family. It was rarely opened to the public. The Hartley family only treated their friends and business partners there. During the gathering, Lucas had only taken a glass of wine Hari poured him. And that glass was never out of Lucas' sight. Besides that, Lucas had only accepted a bottle of water from Olivia when he was about to leave. He happened to be thirsty then, so he took a sip. Lucas recalled that and his face darkened. He picked up his car key and left the company. Lucas drove back to the Thomas villa soon after. That was when the Thomas family had just had their breakfast. Lucas went upstairs directly to Olivia's door and knocked on it. Olivia
"No! Don't call the police!" Olivia ran to Lucas, crying, and grabbed Lucas by the arm. Lucas flung her away in disgust. Olivia stumbled two steps and fell to the ground. Rebecca finally realized what was going on here. She thought Olivia was joking about patching things up between Lucas and Jessica. But Rebecca never thought that Olivia would actually do it. Justin also had a rough picture of the whole story. Justin had originally put pressure on Rebecca in hopes that she would become the mediator. He chose Rebecca simply because she was the only one in the Thomas family who never had any conflicts with Jessica. However, Rebecca proved to be useless. Not only was she rejected by Jessica many times, but she leaked her task to Olivia. "If I don't turn you over to the police, I have no idea what wrong you will do next." Lucas held Olivia's wrist tightly and dragged her to the door. "Lucas, where are you going? She is your sister!" Reb
"Then what do you want? Turn her over to the police? In that case, the reputation of our family would be ruined!" Justin's face turned grim when he heard Lucas. Justin continued, "It has already happened. If it weren't for Olivia, something even worse might have happened to Jessica." "What are you suggesting?" Lucas looked at Justin and waited for him to continue. "Since you and Jessica have been snapped together, why don't you two take the opportunity to get married again?" Justin said. "Do you think Jessica will agree?" Lucas said self—teasingly. Especially when Olivia was involved in the whole thing again. Jessica was so tired of Olivia's dirty tricks. "I told you long ago that you have to learn from Terry. When you are chasing a girl, how can you give up easily? You have to let go of your attitude first. Then treat her nicely. Gradually, things will work out. Besides, you two had a history. You can do it. As for what happen
Lucas' eyes flicked after he heard Jessica's words. Lucas knew what was on Jessica's report. Olivia was not connected to Grace, so Jessica couldn't have known that Olivia was involved in it. Lucas remained silent, so Jessica asked, "What are you going to do, Mr. Thomas?" Seeing how calm Jessica was, Lucas said, "Looks like you already know about Grace." Jessica nodded. Lucas added, "Do you need me to clarify it?" "Nope. An explanation will only look like a cover—up." Jessica shook her head. She paused and said, "I won't let her get away." "Then I'll head out now." Lucas looked at Jessica. In the end, he didn't mention Olivia's part in the whole thing to Jessica. At that moment, Lucas found himself vile. He was so righteous in the Thomas villa, but when he saw Jessica, he became timid again. A peaceful talk between him and Jessica was a luxury to Lucas now. He didn't dare to break the tranquility.
After Jessica went home, she thought about what Terry had said. He made a good point. No matter how daring Grace was, she wouldn't have had the guts to offend both the Hall family and the Thomas family at the same time. Jessica had not been based in LA before, so it was understandable that Grace didn't take Jessica seriously. But everyone knew that Lucas was the last person one would ever want to mess up with in LA. What Terry said made Jessica have second thoughts about the whole thing. She had a hunch that something was wrong, but she just couldn't tell what exactly. Thus, with a frown, Jessica called Wendy. Wendy should still be working. Wendy quickly answered the phone. Jessica smiled and said directly, "Good evening, Wendy. Sorry to disturb you. I hope you can help me further investigate the people around Grace." "Miss Hall, is there anything wrong with the current result?" Wendy didn't see this coming. But she so
Justin looked at Lucas with disappointment. He said, "I've already made a plan for you and Jessica. I'm going to New York in a few days. "I will meet with Jessica's parents and apologize to them. Also, I will discuss the remarriage plan with them, too. "We didn't know that Jessica was Morgan's daughter, so we never paid attention to the formalities. This time, we have to be polite! "And you. You should propose to Jessica as soon as possible. If she refuses, you may try using a little trick. I've got a perfect excuse for you. Tell you I'm dying and your wedding is on top of my bucket list. You can say it's just a wedding, only to fulfill my last wish." Lucas' eyes turned cold as he learned about Justin's idea. "Grandpa, I don't want to remarry Jessica." With that, Justin slapped Lucas in the face. "Do you think you have a say in this? Ever since you divorced Jessica, people never stopped judging the Thomas family. "The Davison family never
At night, the Thomas villa was very quiet. Lucas returned to his car and lowered his head to light a cigarette. He thought of Jessica and Terry in the photos he had just seen. He didn't know what they were talking about. Jessica was smiling, and Terry was right beside her. He lowered his head slightly. They didn't get too close, but still, Lucas felt a throb in his heart. His heart was aching. Suddenly, a car drove into the parking lot. The remote light was cast over. Lucas narrowed his eyes and came back to his senses. He snuffed out his cigarette and started the car. The car slowly drove out of the villa area. Half an hour later, Lucas' black car stopped outside Jessica's apartment. Lucas was about to get out of the car when a familiar car drove over. The person sitting on the other side of the half—open window was Terry. Lucas froze for a moment and his face darkened. Ever since Jessica and Lucas had been snapped in the hot
When Jessica arrived at the Sharp Technology, Terry was still in a meeting.Jerry saw her coming and was a little surprised, "Mrs. Davison."Jessica had been called Miss Hall for over a year when she was suddenly called Mrs. Davison, and she felt a little embarrassed.However, Jessica didn't show any reaction and just nodded, saying, "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll just wait here.""Okay, I had someone prepare some food for you."Jessica thought for a moment and didn't refuse, “Thank you for your hard work."Jerry left with the door, leaving Jessica alone in the office.Soon, Jerry's assistant brought in some pastries and tea, “Mrs. Davison, if you need anything, you can tell me."Jessica looked at the half table of stuff and shook her head, "No need, you can go and do your own thing.""Okay, Mrs. Davison."This was not Jessica's first time coming to Terry's office, but it was her first time coming to Terry's office after getting married.Jerry had someone prepare a lot of food.
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. I will
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. They will go again next month, as it has only been just over three months since their wedding. It is better to be cautious.She naturally couldn't say this to Hannah, so Jessica had to come up with the excuse that she was busy lately and postponed the honeymo
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. And if she wasn't mistaken, the man had just gotten out of a Maybach.Thinking of these things, Larkspur's complexion turned a bit pale.Terry walked up to Jessica and asked, "What's wrong?"Jessica shook her head and glanced at Larkspur, "It's nothing
After taking a break for the whole day, Jessica woke up the next day feeling refreshed and energized.Today happened to be the day for her to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, so both she and Terry woke up quite early.May and Morgan were also concerned about her prenatal check-up today. Early in the morning, May called to ask if Jessica needed company.She also knew that the newlywed couple naturally wanted to spend some time alone together.However, Jessica became pregnant and there were some places where Terry, being a man, couldn't accompany her for the check-ups. May was worried that Jessica would feel anxious by herself.Jessica didn't want May to accompany her to the hospital, even though she was only twelve weeks pregnant and the prenatal check-up was not complicated. However, the hospital was crowded and the waiting time was long. On their wedding day, both Jessica and Terry had a hard time, and her parents also went through a lot of hardship. So she didn't want May
