Terry glanced at her and asked, "Is there anything special you want to eat tonight?"Upon hearing his words, Jessica raised her head and said, "Wasn't it supposed to be eating downstairs?""If you have something you want to eat, then we can drive out to eat."Jessica glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and said, "Forget it, it's too cold.""Okay."Terry responded with a nod, got up and poured her a cup of warm water, then sat on the sofa. "Are your legs sore?"Jessica was drinking water when she heard his words and immediately choked.She noticed that he was about to touch her leg, so she subtly moved it and said, "It's not sore anymore."Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "Hasn't it been a while since you last went skiing?"Jessica realized her misunderstanding just now, but looking at the smile in his eyes, she knew he had done it on purpose.Jessica took another sip of water and said, "The intensity wasn't very high."Terry responded with a nod, leaning against the sofa
Back at the hotel, Jessica's awkward mood only slightly eased.Changing into lightweight casual clothes, Jessica took out a small bag containing her swimsuit from her suitcase and lifted it up directly, saying, "Okay."Terry glanced at her and said, "Shall I help you carry it?""Not heavy."He did not force himself anymore and the two of them went out to the hot springs.The hot spring area is located behind the hotel, and you can enter various sizes of hot spring pools through the corridor.Jessica went to the women's changing room and changed into her swimsuit. She wrapped a towel around herself, put her clothes in the storage box, and then went out to meet Terry.Terry had already changed, with a towel draped casually over his body. From a distance, Jessica could faintly see the contours of his chest.Jessica glanced at him and quickly averted her gaze, but her earlobes involuntarily turned red.At this moment, Terry also noticed her, his gaze falling on her. Compared to his casual
Terry did walk fast indeed, even though she was being held, her footsteps showed no sign of slowing down.In no time, the two of them left the hot spring area and arrived at the exit.Jessica patted his shoulder and said, "Can I leave here on my own?"Terry glanced down at her legs, his eyes flickered, and then he let her down.Jessica glanced at him with a half-smile, "It's not like I've never been swimming before."Moreover, she was not even naked, so why was Terry afraid that she might expose herself?Upon hearing her words, Terry raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Then why didn't you dare to show it to me just now, sweetheart?"Jessica felt embarrassed and, realizing her own lack of generosity just now, she turned her gaze away and remained silent.After leaving the hot spring area, Jessica felt a bit cold. She took the clothes from the cabinet and changed the damp shawl she had brought with her for a towel. Only then did she put on her coat and go outside.Stepping out of the
Jessica slept until after nine o'clock the next day. Just as she woke up, she heard her stomach growling loudly, feeling extremely hungry.She just moved a little, and the soreness all over her body reminded her of last night's madness.Thinking about what happened last night, Jessica's face turned red again.She pursed her lips, pushed away her thoughts, and prevented herself from dwelling on what happened last night. She propped herself up and sat up from the bed.As soon as the person sat up, Terry came in and said, "Good morning, baby, would you like to have breakfast?"Jessica was a little angry again, she raised her hand and grabbed the pillow next to her, and threw it directly at him.Terry didn't hide either, waiting for the pillow to hit his face before he came over and hugged her in his arms, saying, "Are you still angry?"He said, grabbing her hand, and slapping his own face. "It hurts like this, it hurts like this, baby."Jessica couldn't help but laugh at him. "You were r
The group entered the private room with different thoughts in mind. However, among the four people, Bennett was probably the least happy.He had finally managed to run into Chad and was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to him, secure the new project from the Sheppard Group, and then go to Brice to take credit.Bennett couldn't help but feel annoyed when Terry and Jessica unexpectedly showed up out of nowhere.But what could he do about his anger? He was invited by Chad, and now he looked at the three people chatting at the table, feeling as if he was the one who was unnecessary.Jessica couldn't tell what Chad was up to, but the atmosphere at the dinner table had been quite harmonious so far.Chad occasionally said a sentence or two, sometimes it was her who answered, and sometimes it was Terry who answered.Bennett, sitting on the side, didn't have much presence. He probably realized this issue and smiled as he chatted with Chad for a few moments, to which C
After leaving the private room, Jessica and Terry went straight back to their room, packed their things, and prepared to return to the city center.Thinking about what Chad had just said in the private room, Jessica took the warm water Terry handed over and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Do you know Mr. Sheppard?"Upon hearing her words, Terry glanced at her with a slight raise of his head. His peach blossom eyes hooked her with a smile that seemed both playful and inscrutable, saying, "Darling, do you want to vent your anger on me again?"Jessica took a sip of water and chuckled lightly, "So you really had a conflict with him?""Um."He did not deny, but Terry clearly had no intention of saying anything specific about the holiday.Jessica didn't pursue further, she leaned on the nearby sofa and looked at him, "No wonder."She paused and said, "However, the Sheppard family is not easy to mess with. It seems like you will have to suffer."It is said that he was being treated unfa
Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "No, I encountered a crazy dog."Liked to bite people randomly.Jessica made a light click with her tongue and said, "Even crazy dogs use perfume?"She said, paused for a moment, and added, "It's still ladies' perfume."The carriage was narrow, with the heater still on inside. The windows were all closed, and the air circulation inside was poor. The scent of perfume was so strong that Jessica could smell it as soon as she sat down.At first, Terry didn't notice, but when Jessica mentioned it, he also smelled it.Terry didn't expect Chad to be so twisted. In order to make Jessica misunderstand him, he even used ladies' perfume.In this situation, honesty is naturally better than any excuse."If I said that the mad dog was Chad, would you believe me, darling?"Jessica didn't think Terry would do anything behind her back. If he really was that kind of person, he had plenty of opportunities in the past decade, especially when he was single. Even if Terry
After hanging up the phone for a while, the heat on Jessica's face had not subsided.Hannah bringing up this matter is one thing, but even mentioning her own biological father is too much.While daydreaming, Terry brought out freshly washed grapes, picked one, peeled it, and handed it to Jessica's lips.Jessica felt a coolness on her lips. She came to her senses and glanced at Terry, then slightly parted her lips and bit into the grape."What was the baby thinking?"He spoke and then picked a grape from the fruit plate beside him, leisurely peeling off the skin.Jessica naturally wouldn't tell him about whether or not she would bring him home for the Lunar New Year this year. She glanced at him and said, "What do you want to eat later?""What do you want to eat?"He handed the peeled grape to her lips, and Jessica instinctively opened her mouth and bit into the grape. Unexpectedly, he didn't withdraw his hand and lightly pressed his fingertip against her lip.Jessica's face turned sli
Jerry heard Terry's words and instinctively looked up at him.When Jerry's gaze met those peach blossom eyes, his heart felt a bit uncomfortable. "Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall is so smart, she must be able to handle it.""Is that so?"Terry lowered his head and raised his hand to cover the watch on his left hand.This is a customized couple watch made by Jessica, and there are only two of them in the world, making them unique.But as he watched the time pass by minute by minute on the watch, there was no joy in his heart. He had not seen her or heard her voice for twenty-five consecutive hours.This feeling was more painful than when he first found out that she was going to marry Lucas.He was really scared.Jerry had followed Terry for so many years and had never seen Terry like this before. Now, looking at him, Jerry also felt uneasy inside.But now Jessica has not been found yet, everything is still unknown. If they try a li
Running during the day is much better than running at night, at least you can see the road clearly.But inside this mountain, everywhere was trees and waist-high weeds, there was simply no path for Jessica to run.Jessica didn't have much strength left; she only knew that she couldn't be caught up.But she could still hear the woman's screaming voice, knowing without a doubt that she hadn't run far.The woman was probably going to call the man. It was all grass everywhere, where did she run to, they would find her if they were a bit smarter.Jessica stopped and leaned against a tree, catching her breath while analyzing the terrain.Looking around, she couldn't see any houses, so she couldn't ask for help.Jessica hesitated whether to run towards the foot of the mountain or up the mountain.She didn't have much time to hesitate anymore, as the man's angry roar and the woman's curses behind her were reminding her that they were a
The driver brother talked a lot. Jessica didn't know whether to believe his nonsense or not, but she was already exhausted.Fortunately, they chatted for more than ten minutes, and the taxi driver also noticed that Jessica was very tired. He handed her a bottle of mineral water and told her to take a nap. "I just finished delivering the goods and need to go home to pick up new ones. Don't mind, take a rest for a while. We will arrive at my house in ten minutes."Jessica took the mineral water and unscrewed it, then drank more than half of it directly.The elder brother driver stopped talking, and she also remained silent, turning her head to look out of the car window. She almost fell asleep several times, but she managed to hold on.The driver did not deceive him, his house was indeed just nearby. The small truck drove into a village, and Jessica got out of the car with him."Have some breakfast first. The police station is five kilometers ahead.
Neither of the two men expected that Jessica would suddenly escape, after all, her hands and feet were tied with ropes.The two of them were chatting just now. Although they occasionally glanced at Jessica, they found that when Jessica disappeared, she had already run seven or eight meters away.Two men were in the car and they really thought Jessica had diarrhea. They felt a bit disgusted, so they closed the car door. However, they realized that she had run away when they opened the door, causing a delay of one or two seconds. By the time the two men got out of the car, Jessica had already run up the hill.Late at night, in the quietness, the outskirts of the area within ten miles seemed deserted as if there were no households around. Two men's angry shouts were closely chasing from behind.Jessica was wearing high heels on her feet, and she was not running comfortably. However, the mountain road was overgrown with weeds, and if she took off her shoes, s
Terry directly handed the money to him and led the people over to the other side of District 3.Lucas noticed some movement over here and came over with someone. "What did you find?"Terry glanced at him and said, "Just now, a night shift employee said that around midnight, two vans drove over here."Late at night, two vans arrived here. Besides transferring Jessica and Olivia, what else could they do?Obviously, both Terry and Lucas were a step late. By the time they arrived here, it was already a little past twelve forty.Terry looked at the containers in front of him for a while, and suddenly remembered something. "When I came over, I saw two vans turning from Sea Road to the other side of Purple Road."At the end of Sea Road is the harbor, and the two vans that turned out from the Sea Road entrance are very likely the two vans that the night shift worker mentioned.Terry was the first one to arrive here. It was over 800 meters fro
Olivia cried all day, slept soundly, and suddenly got kicked, waking up. She forgot about being kidnapped and got angry when she woke up. She yelled at Jessica, "What are you doing? Why did you kick me?""Someone came, don't speak."Olivia heard the noise outside and also realized it. She moved in a panic next to Jessica and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I just woke up."Jessica didn't say anything; she had a very bad feeling.Soon, the container was opened again.This time, among the visitors, Luna was not present, only four men were there.They held flashlights and shone them into the container. They took a look and then immediately looked down at their phones.Jessica's heart sank in an instant, and she whispered to Olivia, "They are going to move us to another place later. Be careful not to give anything away. Make sure they don't find out that the ropes on our hands and feet are not properly tied."Olivia's face turned pale as so
"Lucas, long time no see. I heard that Justin passed away, what a pity. I didn't have the chance to attend the funeral, after all, it was extremely difficult for me to escape from Justin's clutches. Your sister and Jessica are both in my hands, don't worry, they are doing well now and I'm in a good mood. However, you don't have much time left to relax. You should think carefully about what is more important to you, the person you love or your own sister."The signature is Luna.After reading the message, Lucas' face immediately darkened. "Vincent, look up Luna for me!"Terry glanced at him, but did not ask Jerry to check on Luna.Luna dared to send the message to Lucas' phone, proving that she might not be in LA anymore.Jessica and Olivia must have been in LA, after all, Luna still had to let Lucas choose.Now there is finally news about Jessica, although it is not good news, it is still better than knowing nothing at all.Terry look
It was ten o'clock at night, and it had been eight hours and forty minutes since Jessica went missing. However, Terry had no clue at all.Afternoon, Jessica went to the bathroom. Wendy waited by the car for twenty minutes, but when she saw that Jessica hadn't come out yet, she called her on the phone. However, the line was busy on the other end.Wendy realized that something might have gone wrong. She went to the restroom to find Jessica while calling Terry. After contacting Terry, she had already reached out to the hotel manager and entered the surveillance room.The surveillance footage showed that Jessica entered the first-floor restroom at 13.11 in the afternoon and remained inside until 13.30. However, the footage did not show anyone coming out of the restroom during that time. It was as if Jessica had disappeared into thin air inside the restroom.According to the surveillance footage, it was not until 1.40 pm that a hotel guest checked out and ente
Jessica was also very shocked after hearing Luna's words.She guessed that Justin would target Luna and her two sisters, but she didn't expect him to do such a malicious thing.Although it is true that Luna and Trissy had the wrong idea of wanting to marry into a wealthy family and live a life of ease, it does not justify intentionally luring them and causing one of them to die and the other to be injured.Luna looked at Olivia, almost gritting her teeth. "Rest assured, considering how you did treat me well before, I won't harm you for now. But whether you can survive or not, that depends on your brother!"When Luna said these words, her eyes were filled with resentment, which frightened Olivia and made her tremble all over.Luna looked at it and found it boring, so she directly pushed Olivia away.Olivia fell down, landing heavily and making a loud "thud" sound.However, no matter how loud the sound was, on such a night, in such an e
