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 groom's styling was completed much faster than the bride's. After getting ready, Lucas went out to greet the guests with Justin.When the guests saw Lucas, although his face was still icy cold, there was a noticeable warmth in his gaze. It was clear that he was in a good mood today.The wedding began as scheduled at 7:30 PM.Lucas, as the groom, had been backstage early on.After the host's opening remarks, Lucas was invited onto the stage. Following the script, the host began to guide Lucas to talk about his love story with Jessica.However, everyone knew that the second son of the Thomas family was always a man of few words and cold demeanor. The host initially worried that Lucas might not respond at all.But his fears were unfounded.While Lucas's answers weren't particularly elaborate, he did respond."Mr. Thomas, before you welcome the bride, I'd like to ask you a few questions that I'm sure everyone here is curious about. It's well known that this is your second marriage wi
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
Hannah had just closed the car door and was about to drive away when she noticed a problem.Terry was still standing by the car. Although he had stepped back a few steps, not blocking her way, his eyes remained fixed on Jessica, who was sitting in the passenger seat.Hannah smacked her lips, feeling an inexplicable sense of sourness in her mouth. She turned to look at Jessica, "Babe, why don't you go and take Mr. Davison’s car?"Jessica chuckled, "Why don't you just get out and let Terry drive your car?""......"Hannah wanted to say something, but more reporters were arriving.Knowing the urgency, Hannah had no choice but to drive away with Jessica.As they drove away from the hotel, Hannah glanced at the rearview mirror and couldn't help but hum, "Hey, you're really something. Mr. Davison seems quite infatuated with you."Jessica also saw the car closely following them in the mirror. She slightly lifted her eyes, "Focus on driving. If I remember correctly, you don't have many points
Hannah fell silent for a moment, looking at Paige in front of her, and took a deep breath. "So, what did you come to see me for today?"Paige's emotions had stabilized, and so much time had passed since everything happened that she had no choice but to accept it, even if she didn't want to."I wanted to come and say sorry to you. Three years ago, I suddenly brought people to find you and caused you a lot of harm.""It has already passed, you don't need to care about it anymore."Paige looked at Hannah and hesitated for a moment, "You also had the right to know about this matter.""Thank you."Hannah's mood was completely disrupted like this, "If there's nothing else, I'll have my assistant send you."She had not fully processed this matter yet, and when facing Paige, she did not know what she should say.This time, Paige did not insist on staying any longer, “Today, I bothered you."She stood up and bowed deeply to
Marriage was impossible, and Hannah never thought about getting married.Hannah directly rejected Joseph's proposal, and as for Kendall, there was no need to even think about it.The Howell family had a good relationship with the Hawthorne family, even disregarding the Hawthorne family's troubles. Mrs. Howell had a good relationship with Kendall's mom.If the two of them got together, they would never be able to separate, even in death.Hannah could still see these problems very clearly.Sometimes she was just slow, she wasn't really stupid.Perhaps afraid that she would really do something foolish, Mona called her in the evening and analyzed the pros and cons of getting married according to the agreement.After Hannah repeatedly assured herself that she had not reached such a desperate point, Mona finally hung up the phone.After being "beaten up" by Mona like that, Hannah directly blocked Kendall's phone number.The ne
Kendall suddenly wiped the smile off her face and said, "You know about my family's situation, right? My grandfather is not doing well, and if I don't get married, the Hawthorne Group will have to fall into someone else's hands."Although Hannah and Kendall didn't get along since childhood, she was indeed aware of the things happening in his family.After his father had an affair, there was an illegitimate child born who was only a few years younger than Kendall. Later, his mother divorced his father, and the illegitimate child came back rightfully.At first, Grandfather Kendall was very biased towards Kendall, after all, he was the grandson of the legitimate wife.Kendall's mother took him away back then, and Kendall also rarely came home over the years because of his father.The illegitimate child used to accompany Kendall's grandfather every day, you know, the older a person gets, the more they long for a harmonious family.Kendall's gran
Hannah suddenly felt very tired, a tiredness she had never experienced before."Whether you are Dominic or Foster, our relationship had already ended from the day you left. If I were you, I would have had the decency to leave at that point, preserving some dignity for both of us."In the end, no one's face would look good.Is it necessary? Isn't it better to break up peacefully?Hannah's personality has always been carefree and bold. Foster still remembers their first meeting, when she openly expressed her liking without any hesitation.Later on, she became even more crazy, and he went from being bored to uncontrollably infatuated. She was like an everlasting fire, enveloping him, and managed to melt his icy heart.But now, she says it's over.The fire was extinguished, but he had already melted. How could he possibly let go!"I never thought about leaving you."He said he would find her, he just came back a little late.
Foster had no shame, while Hannah dared not lose her own face.His words did hit the nail on the head, and Hannah dared not move. She even kept her head down, afraid that someone might take a video and upload it online, which could lead to Jessica, Mona, and others recognizing her.Foster's car was parked in a nearby parking lot. He carried her over a small path and they arrived at the car after a few steps.Hannah struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free, and could only watch as he put her into the car.Hannah had been taking the stomach-aiding and digestion-promoting pills for several minutes when she started to hiccup. As she was fastening her seatbelt, she hiccuped twice. Coincidentally, Foster walked in from the side and watched her. Although he didn't say anything, Hannah could see the amusement in his dark eyes.Her face stiffened for a moment, and she glared at him, saying, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you seen someone hiccup before?"Making a mountain out of a mo
Foster glanced at her and didn't have any objections, “I'll listen to you."Hannah stopped talking and walked here for nearly twenty minutes, feeling tired and hungry.The thin slices of pork belly were quickly grilled to perfection. Hannah has always loved eating grilled meat. She is the kind of person who would rather gain weight herself than miss out on enjoying a good meal of meat.She didn't speak, a piece of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, topped with sauce, and then she stuffed it into her mouth.Foster looked at her as she put the meat into her mouth. Her lips were like a squirrel hiding a pine nut inside its mouth, and her cheeks were puffed up, making anyone who looked at her feel an increase in appetite.Foster rarely ate these, even during the difficult years, he didn't really touch them. When he was hungry, he would just eat a piece of bread and drink a large bottle of water.He was not like Hannah, who always seemed to have the greatest enthusiasm for food.On the contr
Foster didn't move, just watched her.The two of them stood facing each other, neither willing to take a step back.It was the rush hour at this time. Hannah was standing inside the car, while Foster was standing outside, attracting the attention of many passersby.Joe arrived and saw Hannah standing inside the car, confronting Foster with a cold expression on her face.He hesitated for a moment before walking over and said, "Mr. Carroway?"Foster glanced at him and handed his phone to Hannah, saying, "I'll take you back, and Joe will handle the rest for you."Hannah took back her phone, "No need."She looked at the time and it had already been seven or eight minutes. Shouldn't the people from the 4S store have arrived by now?Hannah got off the car and was about to make another phone call to the person over there when she saw a trailer driving towards her."Miss Howell, I'm sorry, there was traffic on the way, so I arrived late."Hannah didn't say anything, she just told them to quic
No one knew what was going on between Hannah and Foster. Rowan and Abigail returned empty-handed from Hannah's villa and had no choice but to reluctantly visit Foster in Kangsel.However, the two of them went to Kangsel for several days in a row but didn't see Foster. Rowan was doing better, but Abigail's family couldn't wait any longer. Abigail had no choice but to secretly go and find Hannah again.This time she couldn't even see Hannah, Hannah's assistant directly said that Hannah was not in the company, and she didn't wait for Hannah at the villa either.After another four or five days had passed, Abigail finally managed to get an opportunity to meet Hannah.Hannah had just caught a cold when she was stopped by Abigail. She frowned, her face looking somewhat cold.Abigail looked at her and came out directly, asking her for help in front of so many people.Hannah was annoyed. She had been avoiding Rowan and Abigail for the past few days, and it was making her restless. She was trul
Hannah was also wondering when Rowan had become so humble, to the point of coming to the company specifically to apologize to her.That night, if it hadn't been for Foster coming out and mentioning Mr. Everitt, Rowan clearly didn't even want to say sorry.Hmm, that's strange.She had just wanted to call Sophia, but to her surprise, Sophia had already come in. "Miss Howell, Rowan and Abigail said they forgot to mention something."Hannah raised an eyebrow and said, "Let them in."She said it, didn't she?Rowan and Abigail turned back again, they looked at each other, seemingly discussing who should speak.Hannah didn't want to care about it at all, she tapped the table with the pen in her hand and said, "Cut to the chase, are you two playing telepathy over there?"Rowan's face stiffened, and Abigail took the opportunity to speak, “Miss Howell, you just said, that night's incident, that night has already passed, so can you please ask the influential figure behind you to go easy on the t
