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
“It was me.”“I’m going to make him—”Jessica stopped mid-sentence as she realized what Terry had just said.She froze, staring at Terry in disbelief. “How could it be you? I—I...”The truth was so unexpected that Jessica couldn’t process it. She even thought Terry was joking. “You’re kidding, right, Terry?”Terry didn’t say anything, just looked at her.The way he looked at her told Jessica everything.She raised her hand to cover her eyes, feeling like this was some kind of absurd joke.The truth was awkward and unexpected, leaving Jessica unsure of how to respond.It felt as if the universe was playing a cruel trick on her!After a moment of silence, Jessica suddenly laughed. “The person who saved me eleven years ago was you, and the one that night four years ago was also you.”Terry, seeing her reaction, felt a pang of guilt. “I didn’t mean to pressure you.”He hesitated briefly. “I know it’s despicable to bring up that night now.”With that, Terry stood up and moved to Jessica’s s
Because of Terry’s kiss, Jessica almost had a sleepless night, only managing to fall asleep after 2 a.m.While some were asleep, others couldn’t rest. The story of the Thomas family’s wedding spread quickly, and within ten minutes, it topped the trending searches.No one in the Thomas family expected the bride to be Luna instead of Jessica. Over five thousand guests, all notable figures from LA, attended what was supposed to be a glamorous event for the Thomas family. However, the wedding turned into a laughingstock within the social circles.Before the wedding, the person most delighted was Justin. The union between the Hall and Thomas families was supposed to elevate the Thomas family even further. But his hopes were dashed, and Justin was so enraged that he fainted on the spot and had to be rushed to the hospital. It took over half an hour of emergency treatment before his condition stabilized.This time, Justin had a genuine brush with death. After the incident, the Thomas family m
Jessica didn't sleep well last night. She went to bed late, and even then, her sleep was restless.Terry’s words from the previous night had left her shocked. Shortly after their divorce, Terry had once forcibly taken a bracelet from her, claiming it was his. Jessica had suspected that perhaps Terry was involved that night and had asked Wendy to investigate. However, the results were the same as four years ago—no new information.Jessica had no idea how that bracelet ended up in her possession. Maybe she had encountered Terry before entering Lucas’s room. That was the only explanation she could think of. Otherwise, how else could she explain waking up the next day to find Lucas lying beside her?She had been drugged that night and was in a daze, but by the time she woke up the next morning, her mind was completely clear, and Lucas was undoubtedly the person beside her.It was clear that Lucas remembered what happened that night, or he wouldn't have wrongly assumed that she was the one
Vincent hesitated for two minutes before finally raising his hand to knock on the door in front of him.When he returned this morning, the guard had already mentioned that Lucas had come back to the office around seven.Without even seeing Lucas, Vincent knew his mood must be terrible right now. He should avoid facing him, but given the current situation, dodging the bullet now would only make things worse once Lucas calms down.Vincent had already braced himself for Lucas’s anger. However, after knocking twice, there was still no response from inside.He began to doubt if the guard had mistaken someone else for Lucas, and perhaps he hadn’t returned at all.Just as he was hesitating, on the third knock, a low voice from inside finally responded, “Come in.”Vincent took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and was immediately hit by the smell of cigarette smoke. At a glance, he saw Lucas sitting behind his desk.Lucas was slumped in his chair, and the ashtray on his desk was filled with
Everyone had been busy all morning and was actually quite tired. After finishing lunch, two guest rooms were cleared out for the lady to rest, while the man made do with resting on the sofa in the living room.Everyone was tired, at first some people were chatting, but as they chatted, everyone fell asleep.It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the spacious living room gradually began to fill with voices.Kendall woke Hannah up and asked her to change her clothes, then they started walking towards the hotel.The wedding started at 7 o'clock in the evening. Hannah went to the hotel to change her clothes and makeup, and then she and Kendall greeted the guests at the entrance.At half past six, Hannah went back to change her wedding dress.At seven o'clock, the wedding began.Hannah was led by Jaylen to the back door of the banquet hall, and as the front door was opened, the enchanting and beautiful wedding decoration
Hannah looked up at him and struggled to hold back her tears.After Eden put her in the car, closed the car door, took two steps back, and stood beside Georgia, they watched her.The car windows were wide open, and Hannah looked at her parents from inside the car. She had always believed that she wouldn't cry on a day like this, but her eyes turned red in an instant.I don't know why, even though it wasn't a long-distance marriage, Kendall and she were childhood sweethearts who knew each other inside out, but she still felt a bit melancholic.Maybe it's because after getting married, one would have two additional identities.However, Gemma has already passed away, and the mother-in-law relationship was completely non-existent for her.In the morning, Hannah was talking about Georgia, who had shallow eye sockets. Now, her eyes are also red, and she is wiping the tears from her eye sockets with a tissue.The scene was actually quite liv
Kendall saw Hannah nod and had already locked in four numbers.He pursed his lips and said, "Is it related to my birthday?"Hannah nodded again, and the only common number between their two birthdays was 2.Kendall did not ask the third question and directly gave the answer: 2.Mona laughed and said, "You guessed pretty accurately."Hannah drew another card, the questions could not be repeated, the two questions from earlier could not be asked again.But this didn't pose a challenge for Kendall, as he directly asked Hannah if the cards in her hand were unrelated to today's date.Today is October 17th, and he was able to eliminate three numbers all at once. If he was lucky, the answer would be among these three numbers.Hannah's expression changed, she pursed her lips, and then she spoke, "No."Kendall, however, suddenly laughed and said, "It was 7."The groom's confident words made the groomsmen behind him feel sk
The members of the groom's party were eager for a quick resolution, and their first question was how many red envelopes it would take to open this door.If the gatekeeper was someone else, maybe the other person could have easily unlocked the gate by adding a few more codes.But the gatekeeper was Jessica, no matter how many red envelopes were handed to her, she remained unmoved.Finally, the people outside had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Ms. Hall, just tell us, how can we open this door today!"Jessica curved her lips and said slowly, "Simple, let Kendall speak."As soon as she finished speaking, Kendall outside the door spoke up, "What do you want?""I had no demands, I asked you three questions, and if your answers satisfied me, I would open the door and let you in.""You asked."Kendall was determined to open this door. Even if Jessica had asked three questions, or even thirty questions, he wouldn't have minded.
Hannah rarely had insomnia, and she didn't fall asleep until almost 2 o'clock in the morning after lying down around ten o'clock.The next day, before six o'clock, Georgia woke me up. Her eyes couldn't open, and she kept yawning as she opened the door.Georgia was very puzzled when she saw her like this, "I let you go to bed before ten o'clock last night, why are you still so tired?"Hannah raised her hand and yawned, feeling guilty: "I went to bed after 11 o'clock, and I even woke up in the middle."Georgia sighed and said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, the makeup artist has arrived."Hannah was pushed into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror for a while before she started washing her face and brushing her teeth.Cold water splashed onto her face, and after coming out of the bathroom, she felt much more awake, but the drowsiness was still irresistible.The makeup artist and cameraman had arrived, and they were ju
After saying that, Hannah only realized that her words were a bit straightforward.Her face grew hot and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Shall we go to the cemetery this afternoon?"Kendall looked at her for a while before speaking, "Okay."Hannah was pregnant, so naturally she had to tell Gemma.If it had been discovered earlier, Gemma might have known about Hannah's pregnancy.But in this world, many things do not have "ifs". Some things just cannot be perfect.After the two of them had lunch at the Howell family, Hannah took a nap and then they left around two o'clock to go to the bridal shop to have the size altered.Afterwards, Hannah went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of peonies, and she went to Western Cemetery with Kendall.After Gemma passed away, Kendall's grandfather had originally planned to take her back to their hometown for burial, considering that Gemma had spent her whole life trapped within
Hannah was held by him for a while and felt a bit hot. Unable to resist, she pushed him lightly and said, "It's a bit hot."Upon hearing her words, Kendall placed her back on the bed and asked, "Did you tell Jaylen and them?"Hannah shook her head and said, "No, you're the dad, so of course I have to tell you first."She said, pausing for a moment, "I will tell them at dinner tonight.""Okay."Kendall looked down at her belly, but this month she didn't show at all, and there was nothing to see.He looked for a while and then said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."Hannah thought the same way, she didn't even know how long she had been pregnant.If we count from the last menstrual period, she has been pregnant for at least two months.In the past two months, she didn't feel anything at all.Hannah nodded and suddenly felt a bit tired, opening her mouth and yawning.Seeing her like this, Kendall g
Kendall glanced at her sideways and said, "Isn't it obvious?"Hannah, of course, knew that he was looking at her, but she just wanted to ask and confirm."This photographer was quite good at taking photos."Kendall's gaze was quite affectionate.She looked at the photo for a while again, and then happily put it down and looked at other photos.However, there was only one photo that was captured so well, the rest were mostly intentionally posed and the outcome was good.Hannah had been flipping through hundreds of photos for over three hours when Kendall finally took the album from her hands and forcefully carried her away, saying, "Go take a shower, if you don't shower now, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."Hannah hooked her arm around his neck, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him. "Don't you like the photo? Why aren't you looking at it?""There was plenty of time to take a slow look later."Hannah clicked her ton
Hannah was really happy today. The news of Gemma's passing had been affecting her and Kendall's mood these past few days.When I returned to the company today, I learned that we had signed such a big project. Naturally, everyone was happy no matter who it was.During the dinner, Hannah drank a bottle of beer and couldn't drive back home, so she had to ask Kendall to come and pick her up.More than two months ago, she and Kendall announced their marriage by sending out wedding candies, and everyone knew about the wedding.However, many people in the company had never seen what Kendall looked like. After the dinner, they all gossiped and stood on the roadside, waiting for someone to show up.Hannah rarely felt embarrassed, "Why don't you go back? It's already late, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow.""Ms. Howell, rest assured, I set more than ten alarms. It was absolutely impossible for me to be late for work!""Was Ms. Howell worri
