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.”

Jessica stood under the umbrella, watching him. He soon came back out and walked to

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.

    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.

    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.

    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 sunlight at twelve o'clock was even more intense. Eamon was scolded by Jessica, and although he had the intention to run away, he lacked the courage to do so.

    Eamon realized it and instinctively wanted to run, but Jessica also reacted quickly, reaching out and smashing the coconut she had just taken a few sips of onto him.Terry, who was standing by, immediately dropped what he was holding and ran up to grab the tattered oil-paper umbrella by the door. He forcefully smashed it onto Eamon's ankle, causing him to scream in pain, "Ah!"Eamon fell directly from the wall, and he was about to resist as soon as he got up, but unfortunately Terry had a very solid oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he was hit again as soon as he got up.After being hit more than ten times, Eamon couldn't bear it and quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Please stop hitting me!

    Denzel had been talking to Lucas all along, and in the few short seconds before the elevator arrived, there were only Denzel's childish voice and Lucas's occasional "uh-huh".The elevator came quite fast, and Jessica and Terry were the first to enter.There were no other people inside the elevator, only the five of them.Jessica and Terry were in the right corner, while their family of three was in the left corner.Terry held Jessica's hand, lowered his head to look at her, and the two exchanged a glance, only to smile slightly and never speak.After about five or six seconds, the elevator finally reached the first floor.Jessica and Terry didn't move, watching as Lucas and the other two exited the elevator. Only then did Terry say, "Let's go."Jessica glanced at him, and both of them instinctively slowed down their pace.
