Jessica rolled down half of the window. She could feel both the warm breeze from outside and the cold air in the car at the same time.
Jessica could only feel a heat wave when she had just opened the window. But soon, Jessica found the breeze outside more comfortable than the air blown from the air conditioner. The night wind was strong. With the window open, Jessica was quite sober for the whole night. The light turned red, so Lucas stopped the car. Lucas tilted his head and looked at Jessica. "Where are we going?" Jessica checked the time. It was already late. It was almost ten o'clock at night. It was too late for them to chat over a meal. It was not proper either, given their current relationship. Thus, Jessica chose an open place. "Let's go to Griffith Park." "Sure." Lucas replied, and Jessica did not say anything else. Lucas was never talkative. Though he did want to talk to Jessica at that moment,Lucas was lost for words for a while, and he looked a little helpless. He then turned to look at Jessica's cold face and changed the topic. "I'll drive you back." "Don't worry. I'll take a taxi. It will be here in five minutes." Jessica gave Lucas no excuse to keep her. "Mr. Thomas, we have divorced, but your sister still hates my guts. She has been making trouble for me time and time again. I am not good—tempered. I will deal with those who schemed against me, so I don't need your oral support." Lucas looked at Jessica as she turned around, and his golden eyes darkened. "Jessica," said Lucas. Hearing Lucas' voice, Jessica stopped, but she did not look back. She didn't lie to Lucas. She had called for a taxi, and it was almost here. "Do you feel nothing for me now?" Jessica was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lucas, who had always been cold—hearted, would ask such a question. Jessica turned to look
Jessica returned home and washed up. Then she lay in bed. What Lucas said tonight and before they got divorced constantly appeared in Jessica's mind, intertwined. She remembered a young boy's shirt blown by the wind eleven years ago when she got unconscious. It suddenly occurred to Jessica that she might not have noticed Lucas over and over again, or even fallen in love with him, had Lucas not been the person who saved her that day. But there was no if. During those three years, Jessica always remembered that day when she wanted to give up. She always believed that Lucas was a gentle person despite his cruel face. However, she ended up divorcing Lucas before Lucas revealed his tender heart to her. They had been divorced for a year, but Jessica suddenly knew that Lucas loved her. Jessica flipped over on the bed, her tears streaming down uncontrollably. She was never a sentimental person and had hardly cried since her childhood
"I'm here for you." Lucas immediately frowned. He didn't like it when Jessica talked to him in such a polite manner. "I'm sorry. I still have something to do today. Excuse me." Jessica smiled and was about to leave. "Then I'll give you a lift." Lucas raised his hand to check the time on his watch and then pointed to the car next to him. Jessica raised her eyebrows and said casually, "No need. It's out of your way." "You didn't even tell me where you were going. How do you know I wasn't on the way?" Lucas' low and charming voice carried a hint of grievance. Jessica felt a little helpless. Couldn't Lucas see that she was refusing him? Jessica said with a smile, "I'll repeat, there's no need. Mr. Thomas, aren't you busy? Don't you need to spend time running the Thomas Group?" Lucas' eyes darkened. He was just about to say something when Wendy walked out of the company and came to Jessica. Wendy glanced at Lucas, then turned her
Jessica looked at Lucas from behind as he left, and she was unable to come back to her senses for a moment. Lucas' decision was unexpected to her, and Jessica even forgot to express her mockery. She had been married to Lucas for three years. She knew that Lucas was a man of his word. Jessica became curious if Lucas could succeed. After all, it was not easy to send Olivia away from the Thomas family. Jessica returned to her senses and turned towards the entrance to the Hall Group building. Lucas had given the shares to her, so she did not need to go to the Davison Group for further negotiation. As soon as she returned to the office, she immediately asked Wendy to contact all the current shareholders of the Sandoval Group for a shareholder meeting. Terry had noticed Jessica's move the moment Jessica started to purchase the shares of the Sandoval Group. Therefore, when he received a call, Terry was not surprised that a sh
Jessica's words upset both Lucas and Grace, whose faces turned sullen. Lucas didn't like it when Grace brought up their divorce again in public. Grace, on the other hand, was angry because Terry hadn't even glanced at her. Just as Grace was about to lose control of her anger, Jessica slowly asked, "Miss Sandoval, are you targeting me because of Mr. Davison?" Grace glanced at Tony. She quickly calmed down after a moment of panic. Grace felt that there was no need to hide her true feelings in front of her father. "Good. So you know that. The Thomas family just abandoned you. Is that why you are so eager to ride on Terry's coattails?" Jessica sneered and ignored her. "If only what you said was true. I would be so honored. It's a pity that Miss Hall has been rejecting me all the time." Terry chuckled and added. "T!" Grace's face turned pale when she heard Terry's words. Terry even laughed at himself to help Jessica.
Lucas didn't return to his office after leaving the Sandoval Group. He asked the driver to go back to the Thomas villa. After getting out of the car, Lucas threw the coat to the butler and went to Justin's study alone. Dwayne's report let Justin know that Lucas had given the shares of the Sandoval Group to Jessica. After Lucas entered the study, Justin finally revealed a satisfied smile. "Lucas, I heard that you gave Jessica the Sandoval shares. You did a good job, my smart boy." Justin didn't care about the shares of a small company. If these shares were conducive to Jessica's remarriage to Lucas, the Thomas Group could get far more benefits. Justin had been engaged in the business world for many years, so he was well aware of these schemes. During this period, Lucas had been making his own decisions and escaping Justin's control. Now, Lucas had finally followed his expectations without going awry. Lucas lowered his head to hide th
Ever since she overheard the conversation between Justin and Lucas and learned that Justin wanted Lucas to remarry Jessica, Olivia had been paying attention to whatever Justin did. Jessica and Olivia never got along well, and Olivia set Jessica several times. If Jessica really married Lucas, with Justin's current attitude towards Jessica, Olivia knew that she would be in a much more miserable state than now. Today, when Lucas returned, Olivia went to eavesdrop again. She waited until Lucas went into Justin's home office. Then she tiptoed near the home office to hear their conversation. To her surprise, this time she finally heard something about herself. When she heard that Lucas intended to send her away from LA and to Paris, she resisted the urge to break in. Olivia kept telling herself to be patient and wait for Lucas to leave. Then she could plead with Justin and Rebecca. But then, she heard something more. Lucas arranged
After Olivia left, Lucas said goodbye to Justin and returned to the company. Justin sat in the home office and pondered for a moment. He picked up the fixed phone on the table and called Dwayne. "Dwayne, come here." Justin hung up the phone after he said this. After a while, Dwayne knocked on the door of Justin's home office. "Mr. Thomas, what can I help?" Dwayne was as steady and polite as ever. He stood a few steps away from Justin's desk. "Well, before Jessica and Lucas divorced each other, our family owed her something." Justin seemed a little tired. He looked at Dwayne and said slowly, "Now, I think it would be great if Lucas could remarry Jessica." "Yes, Mr. Thomas. the Hall family is the most compatible with Lucas." Dwayne followed Justin's words. "So, I plan to help Lucas clear the obstacles. That's why I agreed when Lucas said he wanted to send Olivia away," Justin said seriously. Dwayne didn't say anything, but it c
Julie looked up and said, "I will go and have a look."She turned around and ran over to Hannah's side, as she spoke.Just now, Hannah saw that there were crabs in the cage and curiously asked Jessica, "Will there be crabs in the cracks of these stones?"Julie hadn't really thought about it, but don't crabs usually like to hide in crevices in shallow water? So she casually replied, "Sure, if you want to catch one, go down and take a look for yourself."Hannah really rolled up her pants, went down the stream, and searched for crabs among the gaps in the rocks.The stream was clear, you could see to the bottom at a glance.Hannah didn't take long to find a crab. She was planning to catch it and show off to Jessica, but the crab ran too fast. She kept finding several others, but they all managed to escape.This time she saw a quite big one, and didn't want to let the crab just run away like that, so she shouted for Jessica.Julie
Hannah was curious about everything, so when she saw that bamboo house, she pulled Julie and asked her all sorts of questions.Terry walked alongside Morgan and May, both of whom were quite advanced in age. Although the mountain was not very high and not difficult to climb, it still required physical effort, and the two of them fell behind by quite a bit.When they arrived in front of the bamboo house, Jessica and Hannah were already not inside the bamboo house.Terry poured the leftover tea for May and Morgan and pointed to the door of the bamboo house, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Jessica said that Mr. Garrison found her in front of this bamboo house."Upon hearing Terry's words, Morgan's hand holding the teacup trembled.He also didn't care about drinking water anymore, and got up and walked to the front of the bamboo house.Just now they came up from the mountain and saw only a bamboo house amidst the lush greenery. There was a stream flowing n
I have to say, the three questions that Hannah asked in a row were the same questions that Morgan and May were concerned about.Jessica lost her memory, and they all didn't want to put pressure on her.They only have one precious daughter. When they first learned about Jessica's accident, both of them were devastated. Now that they have finally found her, Morgan and May naturally want to bring Jessica back home.Just now, Jessica and Terry walked in, talking and laughing. Both of them felt quite emotional inside.At this moment, the person most eager to have Jessica return should be Terry, and the person most anxious for Jessica to regain her memory is also Terry.But Terry seemed to have no worries about these issues. As parents, they couldn't bear to see Jessica struggling."It's true that this place was a bit poor, but Jessica lived happily and was doing fine."May sighed and said, "It's true, Jessica was definitely raised on a ped
Terry was clearly puzzled, "Will there be wild rabbits and pheasants on this mountain?"This side is all small hills, they are called mountains, but the altitude is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. It takes about three hours to go up from the foot of the mountain to the top slowly, and it takes a little over an hour to go up quickly.More than twenty years ago, it was not uncommon to see wild pheasants and wild rabbits. Given the current ecological environment, it is indeed quite unexpected to still have wild pheasants and wild rabbits.Julie looked at him and smiled, "What Roberto said, anyway, those who run in the mountains, nameless and faceless, what are they if not wild chickens and hares?""That's right."Terry thought that Roberto was indeed quite interesting. You said he was a bad person, but he didn't hesitate to save Jessica. You say he is a good person, but he is actually very "carefree".The two of them crossed the
Terry paused for a moment, watching Jessica's figure disappear. It was only then that he noticed Roberto lying on the lounge chair about ten meters ahead.At that moment, the sun was scorching hot, and Roberto covered his face with a straw hat to shield it from the direct sunlight.Julie walked over and looked at the sun hat on Roberto's face, raising an eyebrow and shaking her ponytail. She took a few steps forward and pulled the fishing line hard.Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, Roberto quickly sat up from the lounge chair."Old man, there was a fish on the hook!"Roberto saw her and snorted, "What are you here for?""I saw you fishing!"Roberto scoffed, "It was you who pulled the fishing line just now, right?""Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't do it."Julie didn't admit it.Roberto heard the commotion from Terry's side, turned his head and saw Terry throwing a bamboo cage into the stream. He instinct
Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.
Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo
Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h
Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
