 Jessica looked at the suitcase that Terry had given her. After hesitating for a moment, she still carried the suitcase and went in.

  Jessica saw the way Terry had just looked at her. His eyes were red. She could read helplessness and pain in his eyes as if he was a child who had done something wrong, not knowing how to make up for it.

  Jessica couldn't bear to see him like that, but her heart was indeed a mess now.

  Jessica lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and closed the door.

  Jessica sat on the sofa for a long time and she felt that she was a little too cruel to Terry.

  She put her hand on her eyes and leaned against the sofa. She then fell asleep.

  After some time, Jessica was woken up by her ringing phone.

  She froze a bit and then got up from the sofa. She saw the caller's number. It was Wendy calling, reminding her of a meeting to attend.

  Jessica rubbed her head and answered the phone. "Wendy, I'm sorry. I'm in the middle o

      Wendy felt relaxed and joked, "Miss Hall, it seems that you are quite satisfied with Mr. Davison."  Jessica did not see that coming. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Perhaps you may go to the meeting room now."  "Yes, Miss Hall."  After Wendy knew that Jessica had no intention of remarrying Lucas, she was no longer worried about Jessica.  But the news spread too fast and the people in the company also knew about it. Many people were privately discussing Jessica and Lucas' remarriage.  When Justin heard that Jessica had agreed, he immediately had people spread the news that Jessica was going to remarry Lucas.  He set the wedding in the middle of the next month and then informed Lucas of the wedding date without asking his opinion. Justin then hurried to have the invitations and the ceremony prepared.  Not only did people in LA know about Jessica's remarriage, but all in the US had known about it.  When Morgan and May heard that, they t

      Though Lucas didn't seem to have confirmed, Hari knew that was a yes. He was very surprised. "What's wrong with Jessica? Why will she remarry you? Is she lying to you? Did you check with her? Is this really happening?"  Hari threw over one question after another, like a shooting rifle.  Lucas found what Hari said quite upsetting. "Why can't she marry me again?"  "Given where you two have come, I don't think she will remarry you if she's rational."  "Now you are saying Jessica is being irrational?"  Lucas' voice sounded cold. Hari could tell his displeasure, so he stopped teasing and said, "Well, not necessarily. Perhaps you're her true love after all."  It could be true love, but to put it bluntly, it was foolishness, too.  However, Lucas was Hari's buddy. Since Jessica was willing to remarry Lucas, Hari was happy for him.  Lucas did not want to listen to Hari's voice anymore, so he hung up the phone.  Hanging up the phone, Luc

    Jessica followed him into the restaurant. It was rush hour and the restaurant was full of people. However, Terry had reserved a table in advance. As they entered, a waiter led them inside.Jessica hadn't had steak in a while, so she was glad that Terry brought her here today.The restaurant had a pleasant ambiance. Even though it was full, it wasn’t noisy, with soft violin music enhancing the atmosphere.The appetizers arrived quickly. Jessica hadn’t eaten much at lunch and had been in meetings for several hours in the afternoon, so she was quite hungry.She glanced at Terry and said, “I’m a bit hungry, do you mind if I start eating?”He raised an eyebrow and pushed the soup towards her. “Why so polite?”Jessica smiled and started eating without saying anything more.It wasn’t the right time to talk during a meal, and Jessica didn’t intend to.The meal was rather quiet. Terry finished eating early and sat quietly watching her. When she finished, he asked, “Jessica, even if Lucas doesn’

    Jessica turned around to see Terry standing half a step behind her, holding an umbrella.She was stunned. “Didn’t you leave?”Terry held the umbrella in one hand and a cigarette in the other, which was only a third smoked. His smile was faint, and the smoke blurred his charming eyes, making it hard for Jessica to read his emotions.He took another puff of his cigarette and said, “I wanted to take a gamble.”Jessica calmed down and asked, “Did you win?” "That's a question I should be asking you."Jessica looked at the box in her hand and burst into laughter. “Terry, has anyone ever told you that you’re dumb?”In her whole life, she had never met a man more foolish than Terry.“Wait.”He interrupted her and placed the umbrella in her hand. “Wait for me.”With that, he stepped into the rain, walked back to the mall’s entrance, and threw his cigarette into the trash can before entering a convenience store.Jessica stood under the umbrella, watching him. He soon came back out and walked to

    Terry held Jessica tightly. When he said, "You finally came to find me," Jessica felt an unexpected pang of sorrow, and for a moment, she couldn't bring herself to push him away.She had no idea that someone had silently cherished her for so long.Outside the car window, the rain was pouring heavily, and the wind blew into the car, creating a chill. Yet, Jessica felt warm in Terry’s embrace.After about two seconds, Terry loosened his hold and smiled at her. “Let me take you back.” Jessica looked at him, wanting to ask if he was curious about why she wasn't genuinely seeking to remarry Lucas but was still having a wedding with him.But she thought about it and decided not to ask.Well, Terry would find out soon anyway.The car began to move slowly. Terry raised the window, and the rain outside seemed torrential. On such a night, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Jessica's apartment building.Terry got

    Given the current situation, neither Trissy nor Luna wanted to meet Jessica.However, they didn't expect her to come to them first.Jessica smiled, "I have a proposal I'd like to discuss with Miss Cheek."Just as she finished speaking, Luna came, "Sis, who was it?"Seeing Jessica, Luna's reaction was almost identical to Trissy's. However, she quickly regained her composure within a second. "Miss Hall, it’s been so long."Luna greeted Jessica with a friendly smile, not showing any guilt or hint of wrongdoing on her face."Miss Cheek, I have a proposal to discuss with you."Trissy had never liked Jessica. She had disliked her even when they were both in the Thomas family. Now, it was even more so.Upon hearing Jessica's words, Trissy coldly responded, "What is there to talk about? We have nothing to discuss with you, Miss Hall. You are not welcome here!""Sister!"Luna pulled Trissy back. Trissy looked at Jessica and snorted coldly, "Whatever!"With that, she turned and went back to her

    When the car stopped at the Hall family villa, it was already past seven in the evening.The sky was completely dark. As Jessica got out of the car, May Hall came up to her. “Baby, why did you come back so suddenly?”Jessica walked to her side. “It’s because I have something to discuss with Mom and Dad.”May had been holding back all day, and now that she saw Jessica, she couldn’t help herself. “Dear, tell me, are you really planning to remarry that boy from the Thomas family?”The Hall parents had always been gentle and loving towards Jessica. Even when she made mistakes, Morgan and May rarely gave her the cold face.The one time they ever fell out with Jessica was because she insisted on marrying into the Thomas family years ago.After four to five years, the same seriousness and concern appeared on May’s face.Looking at May, Jessica felt a mix of emotions about how much time had passed and guilt for the trouble she had caused her parents in her youthful ignorance.“Mom, don’t worry

    Lucas really didn’t want to deal with the wedding because he knew very well that this wedding was just a show for the world, orchestrated by the Thomas family.Both he and Jessica were merely tools for Justin to gain reputation and profit.It was only because he happened to love Jessica and wanted to remarry her that he didn’t protest.But now, Justin’s words made Lucas rethink.Jessica had actually returned to the South town yesterday just to persuade Morgan to allow her to remarry him?He recalled that night; her indifferent attitude towards him, as if she didn’t care about remarrying at all.These days, Lucas had struggled with the idea. In moments of impulse, he even thought about running to Jessica and telling her to forget about remarrying.However, every time he felt impulsive, he couldn’t help but look at the old phone Jessica had left behind, where each message reminded him of how much she loved him.Lucas felt trapped in a cycle of doubt, unable to escape or figure out how to

    Kendall looked at her with a half-smile and said, "If I were to say yes, would you get angry?""You underestimate me too much. I have been watching you since you started dating. What's the big deal?"Hannah, despite having many flaws, had one good quality - she never dwelled on the past.This statement directly silenced Kendall, as he looked at Hannah, for a moment, unsure whether he wanted her to be angry or not.Hannah indeed witnessed most of the absurd things that happened during her youth.Of course, he was well aware of Hannah's affairs.This is the downside of childhood sweethearts. Both parties are well aware of the fact that even at their age, they still wet the bed.He looked at her for a while and said, "I have never been with any other girl."This statement is not Kendall trying to appease Hannah, he really hasn't been alone with any other girl.Although it is true that he had been in several relationships before, those relationships during his student days seemed more lik

    Hannah looked straight at him and said, "That's it, we're going back to LA to get married.""Okay."Kendall naturally wouldn't refuse, but he just felt that getting married in such a hurry was unfair to Hannah.After all, he had not proposed yet.After dinner, Hannah deliberately took Georgia to the garden for a walk, and took the opportunity to tell her about Kendall getting married."Mom, I wanted to go back to LA and get married to Kendall."Georgia nodded and said, "You are all grown up now, marriage is a big decision, as long as you have thought it through, it will be fine."Speaking of this, Georgia paused for a moment and felt a bit sentimental. "Gemma's current situation is day by day. It would be good if you two could get married and let her see it."After coming back from the hospital, Georgia's mood was not good all the time.Gemma was only in her fifties, as if she had only lived half of her life. Now, it was like this, and Georgia, who was the same age as Gemma, simply co

    The three of them were talking when Kendall had already come in.Hannah glanced at him and then continued to lower her head to peel the apple.She couldn't learn Kendall's constant peeling method, she could only peel little by little, and she peeled slowly.It took five minutes to peel an apple, but it was not finished.Kendall washed his hands and came out, saying, "Give it to me."Hannah glanced at him, somewhat unwillingly, "I was almost done."He withdrew his hand and looked down to check the time.Hannah peeled and chopped the apples, placing them on a clean fruit platter. She handed it to Georgia and said, "Mom, you can chat with Gemma. We are going to the meeting room over there."Kendall looked at Gemma and said, "We passed by."Gemma nodded, "Go ahead."The meeting this time was mainly a consultation between out-of-town experts and Gemma's local attending physician, hoping to find better treatment methods during the consultation.Of course, it was unnecessary for the patients

    Both of them remained silent and had no idea how much time had passed. Suddenly, a noise came from the entrance hall.Hannah instinctively came out of Kendall's embrace as soon as they separated, and Jaylen and Georgia entered through the door.Hannah picked up the cup on the table and instinctively brought it to her lips. Kendall reached out and stopped her, saying, "Don't drink it, the water is cold. Let me pour you another cup."Hannah was embarrassed, she glanced at him and handed him the cup.Georgia walked in with a bouquet of roses, and upon seeing this, Hannah teased, "Wow, who sent you those flowers?"Georgia glanced at Jaylen and said, "It was from your dad."Jaylen felt a little embarrassed in front of his daughter and future son-in-law.Hannah clicked her tongue and said, "Dad is really nice!"It was another day of shedding tears for the beautiful love of Mom and Dad!Kendall poured her a glass of water and came back, giving her a half-smile as she said, "Got it.""How did

    The four of them chatted as they left the private room. The elevator they got on was crowded with people, so they had to wait for the next one.Hannah was discussing with Kendall what movie to watch later, when Blaine and they walked over, it was Georgia and Jaylen who saw them first."Blaine."Upon hearing Jaylen's words, both Hannah and Kendall instinctively looked up.Blaine stood next to Jeffrey's mother, and there was a girl standing next to Jeffrey.They were a family of four, and they were very happy together.Since Kendall rejected everything from the Hawthorne family, Jeffrey has become the most influential person in the Hawthorne family.In front of others, he pretended to be fine and called out to Kendall, "Brother."Hannah hummed and looked at Kendall, "I didn't know you had a younger brother."Kendall laughed and reached out to touch her head, saying, "I don't know either."This remark directly slapped Jeffrey's face, but he didn't show any sign of anger.Blaine couldn't

    Hannah walked around downstairs and then went back up.Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard Gemma say this.She pursed her lips and walked in as Gemma was about to speak again.Seeing her come in, Gemma naturally swallowed her words.Kendall cut the peeled apple into small pieces and handed them to Gemma with a small knife.Gemma glanced at Hannah and said, "Does Hannah want to eat grapes? There are still plenty of fruits in the fridge."All of them were brought by people who came to visit her, but she couldn't eat much. Most of them were given to the caregiver auntie."I'm not eating, Gemma. I didn't have much of an appetite today."She took an apple from Kendall's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and started eating with her head down.Gemma looked at her, looked for a while, and suddenly called out to her, "Hannah.""What's wrong, Gemma?"Gemma took off the bracelet in her hand, took Kendall's hand, and put it inside her hand: "This was left to me by Kendall's gra

    Hannah did sleep quite long this time, and when she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock.After burning all night, I woke up feeling tired and hungry.She furrowed her brow, got out of bed and pulled open the curtains, only to find that the sun was already shining brightly.Hannah took out her phone and checked the time.It was half past ten, did you sleep for so long?She felt uncomfortable with dry lips and a dry mouth, so she quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water to drink.Just as Hannah reached the halfway point of the stairs, she bumped into Georgia who was going up.Seeing that she woke up, Georgia quickly walked to her side and asked, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"Hannah shook her head, "I was a little thirsty."Although she was not feeling uncomfortable, her voice became hoarse and unclear as soon as she spoke.Georgia felt sorry and said, "I will pour it for you!"Hannah wanted to say no

    Hannah came downstairs after taking a shower, and Kendall was already eating at the dining table.Georgia was cooking ginger soup in the kitchen. When she saw Hannah and Kendall coming down, she served two bowls of ginger soup. She gave one bowl to Hannah and the other to Kendall, saying, "Have some food to line your stomach, and then have a few sips of ginger soup to warm up."Hannah took a sip of soup and said, "Mom, how can I catch a cold so easily on such a hot day? The ginger soup also tastes too strong, I don't want to drink it."Georgia gave her a glare and said, "If it wasn't cold, you wouldn't have caught a cold, would you?"Hannah glanced at Kendall, not daring to refute Georgia's words.Finally, under the supervision of Georgia, they both still drank the ginger soup.After all the fuss, it was almost twelve o'clock now.Georgia and Jaylen couldn't hold on any longer, so they were told to go to their rooms and rest, with the advice to go to sleep early.After their parents l

    "Wait, don't rush to speak. Let me finish first, don't make Kendall anxious by turning back."Hannah was about to hang up the phone when she heard Georgia's words, so she had to pick up the phone again. "Mom, how is Gemma doing specifically? Do we need to come back immediately?""She was doing fine for the time being, don't worry Kendall. The doctor suggested that she undergo surgery. Talk to Kendall and see if you can both make a trip back in the next few days.""Okay, hang up the phone now and take care of yourself.""Mom, you took care of yourself too, I knew it."After hanging up the phone, Hannah sent a message to Kendall on Line, asking if he was available at the moment and if so, to reply to her message.Just finished the dinner party, Kendall, walking halfway, glanced at the secretary in front and said, "You go wait for me in the car."The secretary saw him pick up his phone and make a call, nodded, and tactfully walked out of the hotel to find a driver.Kendall walked to one
