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

    Lucas didn't ask any further; he seemed to understand why Jessica was being perfunctory.The two of them ended the conversation just like that. Jessica didn't say anything else, just threw out, "I'm going back to work," and then got up and left.Today’s weather was rarely beautiful. When Jessica walked out of the restaurant, she couldn't help but stop.She turned around and saw Lucas looking at her.In those dark eyes was an emotion she had never seen before, something she had longed for deeply.Yet, at this moment, as she basked in the sunlight and looked back, she found that her heart was utterly calm.She even wondered how he had come to this?How did he come to like her?How ironic.The two of them stared at each other for three seconds. Jessica slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked towards the office without hesitation, just as she had when she divorced Lucas a year ago.Lucas watched Jessica’s back. He didn't know why, but he had a sudden feeling that this time, Jes

    The bride on stage wasn't Jessica!This realization shocked not only the guests but also Terry and Lucas.Jessica hadn't expected Terry to come on stage. She had spoken to him that day, thinking he wouldn't act impulsively, but to her surprise, he still rushed up.This was a matter between her and the Thomas family, and Jessica didn't want to involve Terry.Seeing him on stage, Jessica called out to him amidst the chaos, "Terry."Her voice wasn't loud, but in the large venue, Terry spotted her even before she spoke.Jessica was dressed in a simple long gown today, with her hair tied up and wearing sunglasses.No wonder no one had noticed her in the audience—many of the guests probably assumed she was some celebrity attending the event.Terry quickly came to his senses, stepping off the stage and heading toward Jessica.Lucas, too, noticed Jessica in the audience.Catching his gaze, Jessica didn't bother hiding anymore. She took off her sunglasses, revealing her delicate, petite face.I

    At that moment, the waiter approached with a glass of juice, and only then did Terry avert his gaze.Jessica was just looking at her phone and didn't notice what Terry was looking at.The bar was still very comfortable, with a cozy environment. The singer on the stage sang slowly and leisurely, without heavy metal music. People's mood could also relax along with it.Jessica and Mona occasionally chatted, three songs passed, and Hannah still hadn't arrived.The hotel where they stayed was not far from this bar. This is not the downtown area, and with good road conditions, it only took fifteen minutes to get here by taxi.It is now 9 o'clock in the evening, and it has been twenty-five minutes since Jessica sent a message to Hannah.Mona also noticed something was wrong, “Why hasn't Hannah arrived yet?"Jessica frowned, "I messaged her just now, but she hasn't replied to me yet."Upon hearing Jessica's words, Mona put down the juice in her hand and took out her phone.

    Jessica looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful."As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a deep voice with a hint of laughter coming from behind her, saying, "Very beautiful."Jessica subconsciously turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "Isn't it beautiful?""Beautiful."Terry looked at her, seeing herself reflected in her eyes.Jessica only realized at this moment that when he said "beautiful", it was not the same as what she had meant."Not pretty, right?"Seeing that she was not speaking, Terry imitated her and asked a question just like she did earlier.Jessica felt that he was getting worse and worse, asking questions he already knew the answers to.She glanced behind him, and everyone was looking at the distant glow. Jessica's heart started beating faster, and she quickly nibbled on his thin lips.Terry clicked his tongue and tightened the hand resting on her waist, saying, "It doesn't hurt, bite me again."Jessica had thick skin,

    Hannah had just arrived in Kelvin's room when she saw Lily soothing him. Kelvin had a very bad temper and was also quite mischievous.After crying for a while, not being able to see my mom and dad, I slowly stopped crying.But he didn't want to stay with Lily, although the crying subsided a little, he still cried from time to time.Hannah just happened to hear the sound of him crying, "Is Kel awake?"Lily saw Hannah and nodded, "She had been awake for a few minutes, crying and looking for her mother."Hannah hummed and walked over, saying, "Stop crying, Kel. Your parents went on a romantic getaway."Upon hearing her words, Kelvin immediately got up and exclaimed, "The sea, the ocean!"His face was still stained with tears, but it didn't stop him from wanting to go out and have fun.Hannah clicked her tongue and reached out to pick up Kelvin, saying, "I'll take you to see the sea."Hannah put him on the ground, "Let's go and see the sea!"Kelvin trotted along with his short legs and we

    Although Lily has been taking care of Kelvin, the children, at home, Jessica and Terry try to minimize their overtime and come home to spend time with their child.

    Jessica ran downstairs and happened to run into Jessica's parents, making her feel a little guilty.May saw her running in a hurry and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you running so fast?"Jessica felt a little embarrassed, "It's nothing, I was just a little hungry."As soon as she finished speaking, Terry came down from upstairs.Jessica glanced back at Terry and when she withdrew her gaze, she met May's eyes. Feeling guilty, Jessica coughed nervously.Luckily, at this time the chef came out holding the midnight snack and said, "Let's have some midnight snack."Jessica hurriedly walked over and looked at the late-night snack on the table. She picked a bowl of vegetarian pasta.May didn't think much about it. She glanced at Terry and said, "You guys go ahead and eat. Both your dad and I had already eaten. We're going to check on Kel."Morgan also nodded and then went upstairs with May, heading towards the nursery.In the living room, there were only Jessica and Terry left. Jessica gla

    Both of them didn't have high expectations for Kel, they just hoped that he would have a safe and joyful life forever.When Kel was 100 days old, he had already grown to nearly sixteen catties.After Jessica gave birth, she enrolled in a fitness class and it took her over a month to regain the looseness in her abdomen.Her weight did not fully return to her pre-pregnancy state, and she was a little heavier than before she got pregnant.But she had a small frame, so even though she gained some weight, she didn't appear fat, just plump.In March, LA was still cold.

    Since the day she entered the delivery room, she worked hard, and Terry was no less easy than her.Couples should always support each other, and as for who gives more or who gives less, it is not something that can be measured.Jessica was very grateful that Terry had always put her first since they were together.Even now, even when she has children, her attention and gaze still immediately focus on her.Thinking about all this, Jessica felt that the pain of those seven or eight hours of labor didn't seem so difficult to endure.Terry raised her hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Are you crying because you're hungry?"He knowingly asked, and Jessica was amused by his words, "It's all your fault!""Well, it's all my fault."He smiled, with gentle eyes, even the gloomy weather couldn't dampen his spirits."I was going downstairs to have a meal!""Can I hug you?"Jessica glanced at him and said, "You better save some energy to hold your son!"That kid, he didn't l
