Lucas rushed back, even though he had no real desire to get involved with the Thomas family’s matters. If it weren’t for the fact that they mentioned Jessica was involved, he wouldn’t have bothered.

He glanced back at the car, where Jessica was sitting. She was turned toward Terry, speaking with him, her face relaxed and smiling, completely different from the cold expression she had when facing Lucas.

It felt like something stabbed at Lucas’s heart, making him withdraw his gaze and turn back toward the Thomas family villa.

Inside, chaos reigned. Justin was furiously shouting, Olivia was screaming about her face being ruined, and Amanda was standing to the side, watching the show.

Lucas’s mood had already been bad, and seeing this scene only made him feel more disgusted.

He walked directly up to Justin. “You asked me to come back; what’s the issue?”

Justin, already furious from his encounter with Jessica, struck Lucas across the face. "It’s all because of you! Look at the kind of people

    The Moon Club is a popular spot among the wealthy socialites of LA, mostly because it’s a place where you’re likely to run into affluent men. Hannah is a regular there, not because she’s looking to snag a rich husband, but because she’s taken a liking to one of the waiters at the club. For the past six months, she’s been frequenting the place so often that she even managed to get a membership card.Getting a membership card at the Moon Club isn’t easy. It’s not just about having money; you also need to visit the club ten times in six months, spending at least 20k each time. It’s fair to say that Hannah has worked hard to chase after this guy, even though he’s proven to be a tough nut to crack.Jessica, on the other hand, seldom visits the Moon Club, having only been there three or four times for business meetings. Tonight, however, she needed to go to the club to track someone down, and having a membership card made the task easier.Hannah, sensing the teasing tone in Jessica’s voice,

    Lucas turned his head to look at Jessica. Although she had a smile on her face as she spoke, her eyes were cold and distant. It was clear that she had no intention of exchanging any more words with him. After saying her piece, she walked straight over to Bailey, pulling a piece of paper from her bag. “Miss Wade, I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a public clarification, is it?”Bailey glanced at the paper, and seeing no other option, she quickly nodded. “I’ll post it.”“Good.”Jessica smiled and then noticed a bottle of red wine on the table. Her eyebrows raised slightly as she casually picked it up, along with a corkscrew. As she calmly opened the bottle, she continued speaking, “But you see, Miss Wade, the thing I hate most is being used as a pawn.”Once the wine was open, Jessica didn’t hesitate. She lifted the bottle and poured the red wine over Bailey’s head.“Ah—”Bailey screamed as the cold wine drenched her. But when she looked up and met Jessica’s gaze, she froze.Jessica

    Lucas felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His entire life, women had always chased after him, but he never cared for any of them. Even when he married Jessica, it was merely to avoid Justin's arranged marriage plans.After their divorce, he felt a bit uneasy but nothing more. He had never known what it meant to truly like someone. Now, at thirty-one, he realized that the first person he liked was his ex-wife.This newfound emotion brought him both joy and pain. He had always believed that Jessica’s long-standing feelings for him couldn't simply vanish overnight.But today, she had cruelly and directly shattered that belief.She left him no room for hope, ruthlessly exposing the truth he had been avoiding.She was right, yet also wrong. His feelings for her were indeed mixed with a sense of loss, but in the quiet of the night, he mostly thought of her tender and loving moments.His sense of loss was real, but so was his affection.However, Jessica dismissed his love as nothing mor

    Jessica assumed that when Terry mentioned eating hotpot, it meant he had found a new hotpot place he wanted to try. It wasn’t until the car stopped in front of a villa that Jessica realized where Terry intended to have their hotpot.Terry took out his phone and opened the gate to the villa. As the gate slowly rose, Jessica turned to him with a playful smile. "Is there hotpot inside?"Terry returned her smile, showing no signs of guilt. "There is." As the car slowly drove into the property and parked in the garage, Terry unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at Jessica. "Afraid?"Jessica thought Terry was underestimating her. "What’s there to be afraid of?"She unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and stepped out.Terry watched her, his eyes gleaming with amusement.It was Jessica’s first time at Terry’s villa. The interior was simple and bright, but it was clear that the place wasn’t frequently lived in. The b

    Jessica looked up and almost bumped into Terry's chin.Terry lowered his head slightly and raised his hand to point at his forehead, saying, "Can you help me wipe it?"Jessica looked at his finger, a drop of sweat was running down the man's forehead. The bead of sweat had reached his brow and was about to fall into his eyes.Jessica pursed her lips and raised her hand to wipe away the sweat drop with her thumb pad. "Done."With a warm touch on his soft fingertips, Terry looked at her, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and the smile in her peach blossom eyes became even more enchanting. "Thank you."Jessica took a step to the side and said, "I will serve these.""Okay."This hot pot meal was clearly planned in advance by Terry. The beef and tripe were very fresh, taken out from the soup that had been simmering on medium heat for over forty minutes. Even just dipping them in soy sauce was enough to make them delicious, after all, they were very fresh.The "Goof" trapped outside on the

    Terry looked at her and smiled without saying a word.The two of them stared at each other and played the game for nearly five minutes. In the end, Jessica was defeated and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."It is indeed getting late. It is already half past nine. It will take more than half an hour to go back, and it will take more than half an hour to wash up at home. Jessica may not be able to fall asleep before eleven o'clock.Terry rubbed his temples and looked as if he was really drunk, saying, "I drank alcohol, and you also drank alcohol."He seemed to be simply stating the fact, "I called Jerry to come and take you back."Terry spoke, paused for a moment, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes and on his face, "If you want to stay, you can. I have already prepared your room."Jessica looked at him, and her first reaction was "premeditated."But he spoke so openly as if he was the one who cared, which made her appear petty.At this moment, Goof, who had been quiet

    There was only Jessica left in the room. She stood by the bed, feeling a bit abnormal.Why did she agree to stay?Ah.Drinking really caused trouble.But since she had already stayed, Jessica didn't want to think about it anymore.She was not a melodramatic person. She and Terry were both unmarried, so even if something happened, they wouldn't have betrayed anyone.Thinking about the morning meeting tomorrow, Jessica collected her thoughts and went to the wardrobe to find a set of pajamas.When Jessica's gaze fell upon the clothes stacked below, she felt her face instantly heat up upon seeing the lace edges.Terry was indeed... meticulous!Jessica finished taking a shower and came out. There were a few unread messages in her phone, which were emails sent by Wendy.Jessica clicked into Line and entered Hannah's chat box. Today's messages only went up until noon, when she asked Hannah to come pick her up and go to Lune Restaurant. After that, there was a blank space.At this time in the

    When the car stopped downstairs of the Hall Group, it was during the rush hour.Terry's car today was unusually low-key, casually parked downstairs without attracting much attention.Jessica undid her seatbelt and said, "Thank you, I will treat you to a meal another day."Terry looked at her and said, "You must have said this more than three times. Which day exactly, Ms. Hall?"Jessica thought for a moment and said, "I should go to Fresno in a couple of days. I won't be in LA this week, but I'll treat you to dinner when I come back next week, okay?""Just kidding."He said, handing her a packaged cup of black sugar ginger on the side, "It's cold weather, drink more, it's beneficial."Jessica didn't react at first. "What is this?"Not until she held it in her hands and smelled the faint scent of ginger did she know what it was."Thank you."It was getting late, and Terry took the initiative to open the car door for her.Jessica got out of the car holding a cup of ginger tea with brown

    The train arrived at four o'clock, and Hannah and Hollis got off the train only to find that it was already dark. Both of them were momentarily stunned and asked, "Did we miss our stop?"How did it get dark around four o'clock?The wind blowing over was especially cold, and Hannah's face felt like it had been scraped by a knife. She looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said, "There will be a heavy rain today. I need to hurry, or else I'll have to spend the night at this Train Station!""It was quite cold today!"Hollis straightened his clothes and said, "Let's hurry up and go!"The two of them dragged their suitcases and walked outside.

Do you know about this?"Hannah paused for a moment with her phone in hand and said, "I haven't heard.""Did Kendall look for you before?"Upon hearing Hollis' words, Hannah glanced at her and said, "Who's been feeding you nonsense again?""My younger brother, he said that one day he saw you with Kendall, and you two seemed quite close. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to you, but then he thought it would be better not to.""Drake had a bad look in his eyes, how could the word 'intim

    All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but

    That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left

    The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl

    Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
