Terry had an uncanny sense of proportion, always knowing when to push the boundaries. Just when Jessica thought their relationship had reached a perfect balance, he would disrupt it with actions that were bold and confrontational—provoking anger, but never enough to cause lasting resentment.

Sometimes, Jessica wasn’t sure whether she was more frustrated with Terry or with herself. Whenever she tried to set aside her chaotic emotions, he would appear again, forceful yet yielding, making her feel both sympathetic and helpless.

She watched him silently, and he didn’t speak either, merely glancing nonchalantly at his hand, which had been caught in the door earlier. Following his gaze, Jessica noticed the bruising on his fair hand and frowned slightly. She had closed the door quickly and with force; it must have hurt quite a bit.

“Did you like the gift I sent you yesterday?” Terry finally broke the silence, bringing her back to the present.

Jessica’s eyes flickered as she remembered the nec

    Jessica took a deep breath and considered returning to her room to get her phone and call Terry's secretary. But then she remembered that he had mentioned his secretary's girlfriend was ill, and the secretary had taken the afternoon off to care for her.Looking at the man on the sofa, his face pale and his body burning with fever, Jessica remained silent for a moment. She realized she couldn’t just ignore her conscience.She turned back to her room, changed clothes, grabbed her phone, and prepared to take Terry to the hospital."Terry?"After changing, she walked over to the sofa and gently pushed him, trying to wake him up.This time, Jessica used more force. The man, who had been in a deep sleep, seemed to stir, shifting slightly until most of his body was leaning against hers.The pleasant scent of his cologne filled Jessica’s senses as his forehead touched her neck, sending a rush of warmth through her, causing her heart to beat a little faster."Terry?"She steadied him with her h

    When Jessica woke up, she realized she had been leaning on Terry.Terry had also fallen asleep beside her, the IV drip completed, likely removed by the nurse during rounds. She found herself resting entirely against Terry's chest, his presence unmistakable.As Jessica fully awakened and grasped the situation, she tensed up slightly. It was truly an awkward situation!She noticed that Terry had draped his jacket over her, which explained why she had felt so warm while sleeping.Jessica had no intention of waking Terry—at least not until she could get up and away from him. She glanced up at Terry, noting that his eyes were closed, and he appeared to be sound asleep. Seizing the moment, she swiftly removed his jacket from her shoulders and stood up from his embrace.Just as she stood, something fell to the ground with a light "thud." Looking down, she saw it was her phone. She quickly picked it up and instinctively glanced at Terry, only to find his eyes slowly opening. His still-sleepy p

Although the incident at the wedding had faded significantly, today, it resurfaced online, with netizens once again discussing it relentlessly.Lucas didn't speak, unsure of what to say.Vincent asked if he wanted to handle it, but whether they did or not, Lucas felt like a clown.The worst part was, he was an unwilling clown.He hadn't slept the entire night, sitting here thinking. Jessica had loved him for eleven years. Even if she had mistaken someone else for him initially, her love for him had been real. She hadn’t loved the wrong person; she had loved him.But why had she suddenly declared that she no longer love him?Could eleven years of love truly vanish in less than a year?He couldn't believe it, but Jessica's words kept replaying in his mind.At 31 years old, Lucas realized for the first

    “Thanks”Jessica accepted the cup, took a sip of water, and finally felt better.Terry didn't bring up any more "sensitive" topics after that. Instead, he discussed with her what Amanda planned to do once she got into the Thomas family. It wouldn't be long before the Thomas family would be in complete chaos.Jessica was actually looking forward to it. After all, Justin only stirred up trouble because he had too much time on his hands.By the time Jessica finished her porridge, it was already eleven o'clock. There wasn’t much point in returning to the company at this hour. But since Terry was still in her apartment, and given their situation—just the two of them—it felt a bit awkward. She wanted to ask Terry to leave, but considering that he had been hospitalized with a high fever the night before, it seemed too harsh to kick him out.After some thought, Jessica decided it was better to go back to the company, which would be less awkward than being alone with Terry.Terry could be very

    Jessica felt that Terry made her realize she wasn't immune to sweet talk and flattery after all.She had to admit, even though she knew his words were likely just offhand remarks, her heart still skipped a beat."I'm not joking, Jessica," he said, crouching down.Jessica looked down as he rolled up her pant leg, his warm fingers pressing against her calf. He asked if it hurt each time he pressed a spot.Jessica shook her head, finding herself momentarily lost in this rare tenderness.Terry pressed several spots until Jessica confirmed that none of them hurt. Only then did he stand up again. "Next time, don't do something like this. If you want me to stay away, just tell me."He dropped his usual teasing smile and looked at her with sincere concern.Jessica snapped back to reality. "You should head back to your company, Terry."Noticing her shift in mood, Terry didn't say anything more. His hand lifted slightly, as if he wanted to touch her, but recalling the earlier incident, he withdr

    Jessica wasn’t feeling guilty; rather, she was confused.She had always considered herself someone who holds on to love for a long time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have clung to her feelings for Lucas for so long, even after everything.But just half an hour ago, when she pulled away from Terry and bumped her calf in an effort to distance herself, he told her, “You matter more.” That’s when she realized her heart skipped a beat.Though it was just a fleeting moment, Jessica noticed the shift in her feelings.She had been divorced from Lucas for over a year. While that might seem like a long time, in reality, it wasn’t that long.It wasn’t until recently, when she saw the despicable and dirty side of the Thomas family, that she truly let go of that self-indulgent love.If she were to pinpoint when she stopped loving Lucas, Jessica would say it happened just a month ago.It’s only been a month since she fell out of love with Lucas, and now she’s feeling something for Terry.Jessica wasn’t s

    Tonight’s banquet was hosted by the Jameson family, and all the attendees were part of the LA social circle.Jessica and Terry were already the talk of the town, so when Terry entered the venue holding Jessica’s hand, many people couldn't help but glance at Jessica."They're really together, holding hands and everything!""So, those rumors from a few days ago were true—Mr. Davison and Jessica are actually together!""Honestly, I think Jessica and Terry look better together than she and Mr. Thomas ever did.""I agree! Jessica always gives off this aloof vibe, even when she's smiling. It makes her seem distant. And Mr. Thomas, well, he’s almost always expressionless at these events. When two cold people are together, it just feels off!"One woman swirled her glass of red wine and added, "But Jessica and Mr. Davison are different. Mr. Davison might seem like a playful and wealthy young man, but when he's with Jessica, they somehow complement each other."The socialite next to her nodded i

    This evening, Jessica and Terry were surrounded by people they knew.As they walked through the crowd, many greeted them, to which Jessica responded indifferently. After a while, she turned to Terry and lightly shook her hand, which he was holding.

    Suddenly, there was a "drip" sound outside the door, and Jessica knew that Terry had come back. She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Terry pushed the door open and entered the room. Jessica was still on the couch, with her head tilted back, smiling at him. "You're back so soon?" she said.Terry walked over and only then did he see that Jessica's eyes were a little red.He put down the things he was holding in his hands and bent his body halfway in front of Jessica. He held her face with both hands and said, "Did you cry secretly?""No way."He looked at her and suddenly raised his head to kiss her on the eyes.Jessica trembled for a moment, and the emotions in her heart instantly magnified.

    Upon hearing his words, Jessica inexplicably choked up, "What if it wasn't?""No if."He spoke and tightly held her hand.Jessica blinked her eyes and said, "I was a little hungry.""I went to buy ravioli for you.""Okay."Jessica let go of her hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking at him as he touched his stomach and asked, "Is the little one okay?"Terry also touched her abdomen, “It's fine."It has been over four months, almost five months, and Jessica's belly is still not very noticeable.But knowing that there was a life growing inside, I placed my hand on it, even though I couldn't feel anything, a wave of tenderness still surged in my heart.Terry glanced at her and said, "Behave, I will go buy you some food.""I knew."It was almost 8 o'clock now.

    Jessica was still asleep, with an oxygen tube inserted in her nose, looking as if she was sleeping.Terry walked over and held her hand, then followed the gurney back to the regular ward.The hospital in this town was simple, and there weren't many people in the inpatient department. Jessica was assigned to a separate ward.The nurse gave Terry a few instructions and then left, leaving the ward filled with the sound of machines.Jessica's forehead was scratched, and it bled, but the bleeding was not excessive, and the wound quickly coagulated.Terry used a wet tissue to wipe away the bloodstain, and just as he threw away the tissue, his phone started vibrating.It was an unfamiliar number.But Terry still remembered the incident with the police. He picked up his phone and stood in front of the window by the door, watching Jessica inside, while answering the call, "Mr. Policeman?""It was me. Is Mrs. Davison alright?""Having just recovered from shock, the doctor said there was no majo

    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. Who knew when Jessica would come out of the house.He was tied to a tree, although most of the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, it was still very hot at noon, and Eamon was suffering as his body still hurt from the several places Jessica had just hit him.Jessica and Terry were leisurely eating lunch inside the house, eating to their heart's content. It was only after they had finished eating that Jessica took out her phone and called the police.The police took more than twenty minutes to arrive, and when Eamon heard the sound of the police siren, he instinctively trembled.Terry glanced at him and went out to meet the police, “Hello, I am the husband of the person who made the report."Terry made a simple self-introduction, “My wife got scared by a thief, which caused her to have a miscarriage.

    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! I was wrong!"Terry turned around and glanced at Jessica, saying, "Bring the rope."Jessica turned and entered the small room next to her, pulling out the hemp rope from under the bed.Eamon, who fell to the ground, attempted to escape.

    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. The family of three in front of them gradually moved further away, until they were about ten meters apart. It was only then that Jessica spoke, "Are he and Susie pla
